Niece's Pre-school Graduation Gift

My niece graduated preschool this past week so I thought if make her a little something to celebrate. Her family recently bought a camper so they have been out and about with it this summer. I thought this little bag was the perfect addition to her camping accessories. I added a few extras to keep her busy with at the campground. Have I ever mentioned that she is the most girlish girl I know ? :-) 

I used this tutorial,

Day 2 of Renovations

Getting even more overwhelmed but still going strong. We took down more of the ceiling and one of the cupboards as there was too much water damage to save it. We may need to tear out that wall where they were also. I am starting to look for material for the ceiling. We are either going I use luan play wood or find some kind of paneling so we can bypass the painting step. Here are some pictures after day 2.

Motorhome renovation- Day 1

Last year we purchased a 1983 Chevy Honey motorhome.


Today we finally decided to start the renovation process. It's very overwhelming but not impossible :-) before and after pictures are included. We ripped the ceiling down and found a lot of water damage and even a current leak. Needless to say day 1 brought unexpected but expected issues. Here is to the journey ahead of us :-)
