Playing Bridge

My Great-Gramma and I are very close with each other. One of our hobbies we share is Bridge. She started along time ago, and now I am joining in on the fun! They meet twice a week at a community center. The ages are between 70-95 (I am the youngest). Most people think bridge is only for "older people", but if the younger generation doesn't learn how to play, then it will be gone! I love how the ladies talk about their grandsons, about how wonderful they are and how I need to meet them....:) I'm so thankful my great-gramma and I have this time together.

A Good Book

This is a book I strongly recommend. I usually don't like to read, but I couldn't put it down. For all you Christians out there, this is a great book for you!

My Room

I love my room! I have two sisters and we all have very different personalities and so each one of our bedrooms look very different. My mom and I have worked really hard to create my room into a place I love and one that reflects my personality. Here are a few things we have done to make my room vintage/shabby chic style.

This may be hard to see, but it is a wire bird rack that was originally used in the garden. I hang pictures with little clothes pins (see below) and it really personalizes my room.
These are the cute little clothes pins that can be used anywhere... I think they are so cute!!

My mom and I found this vintage window frame at a store that was going out of business, it was only $25, a deal we could not pass up. I had some plates that matched my room perfectly and so I placed them on the frame.
This originally was a towel rack for a bathroom, but one of the handles broke and so I used it as a jewelry holder. Hope you enjoyed a peak at a few things!
