Two freakin’ years later, the art I made when I was a wee little one is finally back on the wall. Though I’ve since moved it to a new spot. #finally #gettingtheworkdone #comingsoon #yougogirl #interiordesign #newplant #tryingnottokillit #freshpaint #redo #cozybedroom #gettingitdone #diy #diyhomedecor #pocketdoor

Grrrr what’s the point of a #saw if it won’t cut straight?! I know it’s not me, I tried everything.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned doing all this #diy whoo-ha, it’s that I #suck at wrapping up a #project to final completion. Just now, 2.5 years later, am I finishing around the #pocketdoor. #loser #wow #lame #diyforlife #interiordesign #winning #diyhomedecor #procrastination #doneisawesome #yougogirl

Repost from @jmeyersbooks using @RepostRegramApp - September is #fuckcancer month, and I’m feeling the brother-sized hole in my life especially today. It’s been five years. But as I’m missing him, I’m also making another $700 donation today from sales of my F*ck Cancer coloring book. This will bring my total #fuckcancer donations to $2800, and that’s all thanks to everyone who has bought this book. From my heart, I thank you for that. You are funding research to find a cure for ependymoma, sarcoma, and pancreatic cancer, as well as funding free cancer support services for the people of Grant County, Indiana (thanks to a stranger’s post on my author Facebook page). Every few months I seek out another place to donate, so please don’t be shy to ask. ❤️ Now go hug your people, hold them tight to your heart, love them openly and freely, call someone just to say “I love you” and do it often. #fuckcancer #coloring #colouring #coloringbook #colouringbook #adultcoloringbook #donating #love

Quite #clever this #plugandplay #lightfixture #wall #bracket. #handy for the occasional #diyer. Too bad it won’t fit in my darn junction box.
