The bellows was a gift from the prior owner of our house.

A very scary thing. At least, in my opinion, it is.</p> <p align="center">My laundry room before it’s much needed makeover.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-hFwn3Xv--7M/UJ3Atamf8qI/AAAAAAAADeU/fX2R5XOCAJI/s1600-h/100_7290%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7290" border="0" alt="100_7290" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-oI65r2LEqAY/UJ3AuQyxUDI/AAAAAAAADec/Tkyhf2TG384/100_7290_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="527" height="410" /></a></p> <p align="center">Now, this is not what it looked like on an every day basis. I pulled <em>everything</em> out of the closet and from under the sink so I could start from scratch. And, boy, was I surprised at how much junk I had stashed in there!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5DXc6t5rzc8/UJ3Avf_U_0I/AAAAAAAADek/ie-IynevNGM/s1600-h/100_7289%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7289" border="0" alt="100_7289" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-rGBWpGgTcyA/UJ3AwDT4DCI/AAAAAAAADes/5txvmN30LYw/100_7289_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="533" height="414" /></a></p> <p align="center">Isn’t this just the best way to store those extra plastic bags? Not!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-TtLOINA5rEk/UJ3AxBfT4uI/AAAAAAAADe0/Xd9hCpMLBhA/s1600-h/100_7301%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7301" border="0" alt="100_7301" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-DuJSeOHafeU/UJ3Ax7j90jI/AAAAAAAADe8/LfyJYbjC-to/100_7301_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="342" height="483" /></a></p> <p align="center">Handy, dandy laundry cart is somewhat of an eyesore.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cVKSQ93q1q8/UJ3Ay3wajxI/AAAAAAAADfE/7evDIs5fz3I/s1600-h/100_7291%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7291" border="0" alt="100_7291" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NeffvM0_mQU/UJ3AzRtAroI/AAAAAAAADfM/p1ZNfFmw1dI/100_7291_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="524" height="407" /></a></p> <p align="center">This is the sink station. Note the lovely blue handles and the funky gold mirror. That was here when we moved in and I just never got around to taking it down.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-EZ_tm_cEoo8/UJ3A0bJCBBI/AAAAAAAADfU/wJCG-1ltGuk/s1600-h/100_7299%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7299" border="0" alt="100_7299" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-EUDKbaFYFz8/UJ3A1PRodXI/AAAAAAAADfc/YzfEDwZhU8k/100_7299_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="378" height="515" /></a></p> <p align="center">And this is the ultimate in blech~the walls are covered in vinyl floor tiles. With country blue diamonds. I neglected to take a picture of the wall paper border that was patterned in the same said blue color and clothes drying on a line.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-YurH13xEY1E/UJ3A2PEqqpI/AAAAAAAADfk/ZdqU5AN7g74/s1600-h/100_7304%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7304" border="0" alt="100_7304" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-xROJQZbzj7M/UJ3A2__dqxI/AAAAAAAADfs/J2YdwAsYTZA/100_7304_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="434" height="375" /></a></p> <p align="center">One day, I just got tired of it. Who wants to do laundry in a depressing room? Especially when doing laundry in itself is depressing enough? </p> <p align="center">So, I started purging.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-RT6EwWRmxek/UJ3A3Zxr2oI/AAAAAAAADf0/MeurD86SStY/s1600-h/100_7286%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7286" border="0" alt="100_7286" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LnnbEkaevkQ/UJ3A4ccTepI/AAAAAAAADf8/fJD8ZY6-b4M/100_7286_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="375" height="507" /></a></p> <p align="center">And then I removed the horrid wall paper border. And then….then I went a little crazy.</p> <p align="center">And I painted every little blue diamond black.</p> <p align="center">And added a few more details.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-q4RvAkKf7qg/UJ3A5YovgdI/AAAAAAAADgE/xeDdrFOhlX4/s1600-h/101_0591%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0591" border="0" alt="101_0591" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-1vB8N5aTBY4/UJ3A6P9uk9I/AAAAAAAADgM/pikUgQt1uqo/101_0591_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="394" height="543" /></a></p> <p align="center">Such as the fun, little, floaty curtains strung on a rusty wire.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-dCJaeBnNoSw/UJ3A64Od57I/AAAAAAAADgU/nu8VwUUz07g/s1600-h/101_0592%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0592" border="0" alt="101_0592" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-YkR6iB6CWxk/UJ3A7TXgzuI/AAAAAAAADgc/t42ruty8wvU/101_0592_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="395" height="517" /></a></p> <p align="center">This photo is a little blurry, but you can see the gold mirror is no longer so. I painted it black and distressed it. The knobs were changed to brushed nickel. I added some enamelware and the little wash sign was a gift from a friend.</p> <p align="center">You’ll see that not everything got an update. The cabinet is the same, as is, the lovely yellow countertop and the faucet. The faucet will be replaced soon as it has leaking issues.</p> <p align="center">I decided to incorporate a little of the yellow in this room since we had to keep the countertop. All part of remodeling <strike>cheaply</strike> on a budget.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iz8KbNC0NA4/UJ3A8Q3u94I/AAAAAAAADgo/A0XW5511hTc/s1600-h/101_0593%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0593" border="0" alt="101_0593" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-v715EJ3l5zg/UJ3A9OZ9MyI/AAAAAAAADgw/T_WHevUQ6H8/101_0593_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="364" height="492" /></a></p> <p align="center">The laundry sorter is gone and in its place is an enamel topped table that is perfect for folding clothes. I placed three laundry baskets under it and concealed it with a burlap sack strung with clip rings.</p> <p align="center">The black shelf was found in our garden shed when we bought the house. It was gold and I spray painted it black. It holds lots of little treasures. The “m” picture is a framed vintage flashcard I picked up at Round Top.</p> <p align="center">The enamelware bowl holds cleaning towels. On the right side of the table is a jar of homemade laundry detergent and a bin that holds dryer sheets. It’s so nice to have them in the open and handy. </p> <p align="center">I bought the drying rack on the wall from one of the vendors at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/vintagesmitten">Smitten.</a></p> <p align="center">And I left the litter box in the picture because that’s where it normally resides.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-rfi8uYClia0/UJ3A-V6w59I/AAAAAAAADg4/T_Cm-hqBfg8/s1600-h/101_0608%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0608" border="0" alt="101_0608" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-4Z3L5VJ5arY/UJ3A-wzRyYI/AAAAAAAADhA/zQR-RkQb6sM/101_0608_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="487" height="378" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Al2Usr_VCls/UJ3A_-1bMWI/AAAAAAAADhI/5JP21hA3ffg/s1600-h/101_0609%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0609" border="0" alt="101_0609" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Siqd26MBziU/UJ3BAqwYXNI/AAAAAAAADhQ/hNWZ20rI7SQ/101_0609_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="413" height="435" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-_hHRVqXg3QA/UJ3BBZsr19I/AAAAAAAADhY/X0v5VUVgX4s/s1600-h/101_0603%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0603" border="0" alt="101_0603" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-5umupTFnbIs/UJ3BCGQcC5I/AAAAAAAADhg/vxyVKo4iSoQ/101_0603_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="336" height="454" /></a></p> <p align="center">The picture was an old ad for Fels Naptha soap that I mounted on some scrapbooking paper and framed. You can see the black diamonds that I painted much better in this picture.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xTgJ_wM5GFI/UJ3BDE7m33I/AAAAAAAADho/TmdAxsDfrk0/s1600-h/101_0604%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0604" border="0" alt="101_0604" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ldfmzURyVW0/UJ3BDu7vl2I/AAAAAAAADhw/PX5kcJrV0z0/101_0604_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="467" height="359" /></a></p> <p align="center">Behind the door I hung a hook I made from a chunk of wood and a rusty drawer pull. It’s a great place to stash my apron.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-r2o1mUaPVlg/UJ3BEipCLWI/AAAAAAAADh4/TjnUxWIYe_Q/s1600-h/101_0613%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="101_0613" border="0" alt="101_0613" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-iA4uXOn76z0/UJ3BFQdleRI/AAAAAAAADiA/JfV3RwZQVIE/101_0613_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="338" height="457" /></a></p> <p align="center">The closet is much more organized. I was able to find some baskets at Home Goods to corral everything from cleaning supplies to pet supplies. The baskets on the very top hold paper towels and garbage bags.</p> <p align="center">Plastic bags are now neatly shoved in a bag holder from Target that I mounted to the wall.

I shared Laina’s redo in this <a href="http://rustyandredone.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-daughters-bedroom-makeover.html">post</a>, and plan on showing you Connor’s soon; however, I’ve been busy scouring the internet for some rustic-industrial inspiration for Blake’s room. </p> <p align="center">I love just about everything in this room! The ceiling, the lights, the headboard and the dresser are the elements I’d like to incorporate into Blake’s room. We had already decided that Dad would make him a wood headboard. </p> <p align="center"><img alt="Headboard, ceiling, dresser, lamps!" src="http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/73042825177748699_hLwJQGzw_c.jpg" /></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/748076/Zack-s-industrial-bedroom-traditional-kids-orange-county"><font size="2"><em>Photo from Houzz.com</em></font></a></p> <p align="center">I really like the idea of using the “woodsy” with the industrial.

This time we attended my younger brother’s wedding.</p> <p align="center">Part of our time was spent at my husband’s cousin’s house. I asked permission to photograph her kitchen area to share on my blog, because, simply put, it is gorgeous! Her husband did all the cabinetry and woodwork. He is one talented individual.</p> <p align="center">But he’s not the only talented one in the family. Sharene has recorded four Christian/Gospel albums and was nominated for a Dove award!</p> <p align="center">Here’s one of her videos that also features her daughter and her brother. So, sit back and enjoy the music and then take a tour of her fabulous kitchen.</p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:b5ff8c0d-b15e-47e1-9db6-8103e03eca05" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div id="33ec6a37-d9d5-4b7e-921f-892b616e684b" style="margin: 0px;

I have so many photos and events I want to share with you, but I actually need to be near my computer on a regular basis to do so! And there are no signs of it slowing down for a while. So, I’ll squeeze in a post when I have a minute, just to keep everyone up to date on our happenings around here.</p> <p align="center">Today I spent some time in the Texas heat strolling around <a href="http://www.fbgtradedays.com/">Trade Days</a>. This is held the weekend of the third Saturday of every month. If that makes any sense. And twice in November. You can usually find me there on the Friday it opens, since there is less of a crowd on that day.</p> <p align="center">I thought I’d share a few photos from past visits that I found in my folders.</p> <p align="center">Isn’t she lovely?</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-ZUN9wny4i3A/UC8Zy3DL-eI/AAAAAAAADKQ/41RRdTR529U/s1600-h/100_7607%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="100_7607" border="0" alt="100_7607" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-t3ZWKqzpF8k/UC8Zzi6hYUI/AAAAAAAADKY/NT0lQ1BmMkg/100_7607_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="316" height="427" /></a></p> <p align="center">The token Longhorn.

The first one was Mason, which I’ll share more about later. The second was Burnet.</p> <p align="center">Why I had to travel to Burnet is a long story, but I’m glad I had to make the trip. One of the first stores I stumbled upon was <em>Queen B at the Knot Hole. The Knot Hole</em> is a huge antique store that bills itself as an indoor flea market. <em>Queen B</em> is a small boutique next door to it. Both were fun to browse through and I even brought a few things home!</p> <p align="center">The front of the shop was filled with some cute décor, but my daughter called  me to the back room with, “Mom, you’ll really like the stuff back here!” That’s where the old, rusty stuff was to be found. Hope you enjoy the photos and if you’re ever in Burnet, stop at </p> <p align="center"><font color="#ff0000" face="Book Antiqua">Queen B at the Knot Hole</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ff0000" face="Book Antiqua">604 Waters Street, Burnet, TX 78611</font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#ff0000" face="Book Antiqua">(512)756-2288</font></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-eptPy0OVSpI/T_pLBe-UQoI/AAAAAAAADEQ/aFX0w8VZuEI/s1600-h/100_8594%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

Weather here has been beautiful. Here’s a few pictures for your enjoyment that I snapped while out on my morning walk.</p> <p align="center">The thistles are really big here in Texas.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-8-Odj0NYmto/T5S7vdUcaoI/AAAAAAAACTQ/O7hylW-O_d4/s1600-h/IMG_0518%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0518" border="0" alt="IMG_0518" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-j4hRGUfQNUg/T5S7wLczeJI/AAAAAAAACTY/-Fzh9xj4ils/IMG_0518_thumb%25255B4%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="337" height="471" /></a></p> <p align="center">Some beautiful poppies~not just found in California.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GFcO7A8hcoI/T5S7xhVnRyI/AAAAAAAACTk/2Y41XRGHluI/s1600-h/IMG_0519%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0519" border="0" alt="IMG_0519" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-iQxa5aTjkSY/T5S7ycIwioI/AAAAAAAACTs/O2241Ij7qBs/IMG_0519_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="443" height="377" /></a></p> <p align="center">I spied this little guy trying to make a quick getaway through the grass. He was fast, but I was able to get a picture.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-jO_eHBBhBQw/T5S7zidKosI/AAAAAAAACT0/YkTNJuSUWKQ/s1600-h/IMG_0520%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0520" border="0" alt="IMG_0520" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-V8VE3FoeQOs/T5S70sOu9VI/AAAAAAAACT8/zHAjO6tXIz4/IMG_0520_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="511" height="350" /></a></p> <p align="center">The flowers are still blooming abundantly here, although without more rain soon, I imagine they will fade. Another lovely thing we’re experiencing is the prolific butterfly population. They are everywhere and much quicker than Mr. Caterpillar, so I’ve not captured any in a photo.</p> <p align="center">Enjoy your week!</p> Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03965047674926511669noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4346471089228998918.post-44684067742677189632012-04-18T10:58:00.001-05:002012-04-18T10:58:32.113-05:00Something I’ve Been Wanting To Do<p align="center">My posts lately have been few and far between. I’ve been busy as a little bee working on projects for my Spring Sale along with fighting some kind of cold/allergy/crud thingy.</p> <p align="center">But, last Saturday I go to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a couple of years now.</p> <p align="center">What? You might ask.</p> <p align="center">Not bungee jumping, not sky-diving, not zip-lining…..</p> <p align="center">I got to attend <a href="http://www.daveramsey.com/">Dave Ramsey’s</a> <em>The Total Money Makeover Live</em> in San Antonio!!!</p> <p align="center">Maybe not so exciting to some, but we’ve been following Dave’s principles for almost four years, have read his books, taken his Financial Peace University class and sat in on a simulcast by him. I wanted to experience the excitement and enthusiasm that comes from seeing him live.</p> <p align="center">I won’t go into details about his program; he has a great <a href="http://www.daveramsey.com/">site</a> that does all that. But it is the one financial program I’ve found that is easy to follow. I’m a box checker and he has seven baby steps to follow. Perfect! When we get one done, then we move on. And his zero based budgeting is so simple. You work backwards, taking the money you make for the month and designing your expenses around that. Most other budgeting tools have you figure out percentages and expenses first and then try to fit that into your salary. I’ve tried that, it’s stressful.</p> <p align="center">We’ve fallen off the wagon a couple of times and struggled to get back on, so Saturday’s event was just what I needed to kick it back into gear.</p> <p align="center">Here’s a few shots of the arena. Again, taken with my phone, so blurry is the theme.</p> <p align="center">Dave’s daughter Rachel shares what life was like growing up in the Ramsey household.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-tzCR8eJyEbc/T47kfwUNBVI/AAAAAAAACRw/SNSNI8aJ3xI/s1600-h/IMG_0529%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0529" border="0" alt="IMG_0529" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--0hNuBSjnGw/T47kgvVmxzI/AAAAAAAACR4/G-4DmPDkI7k/IMG_0529_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="504" height="387" /></a></p> <p align="center">Dave speaks to a sold out coliseum.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-uvvjJtB8hgQ/T47kh9WqkmI/AAAAAAAACSA/4BdM1Sc2kCM/s1600-h/IMG_0530%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0530" border="0" alt="IMG_0530" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-No2X5PQ1JeQ/T47kisY3J5I/AAAAAAAACSI/Vt_ovsdOiNc/IMG_0530_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="506" height="389" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-cXtsLp9s3sE/T47kj9vjVtI/AAAAAAAACSQ/dLC1k9_u4KY/s1600-h/IMG_0533%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0533" border="0" alt="IMG_0533" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-9FLDkJqBqIQ/T47kkaZnSeI/AAAAAAAACSY/G6nY3QACYx8/IMG_0533_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="505" height="388" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-nr57HKA7b5M/T47klgw8D8I/AAAAAAAACSg/naovhvC-uxo/s1600-h/IMG_0531%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0531" border="0" alt="IMG_0531" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-tnaPQLYp8P8/T47kmdWmh5I/AAAAAAAACSo/N3YCsyGaAyg/IMG_0531_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="505" height="388" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-LHHrVs4GudU/T47knUfNgBI/AAAAAAAACSw/vyGMCibq0gw/s1600-h/IMG_0532%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0532" border="0" alt="IMG_0532" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-g8EZMJHK8Qk/T47koHYJ3kI/AAAAAAAACS4/7UeTIV9kBbk/IMG_0532_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="505" height="334" /></a></p> <p align="center">This is Jessa.

The Revolve Tour)<p align="center">In continuing to share what I’ve been up to the past few weeks, along with admiring the <a href="http://rustyandredone.blogspot.com/2012/04/those-texas-wildflowers.html">local wildflowers</a>, several doctors and dentist checkups and completing the fundraising <a href="http://rustyandredone.blogspot.com/2012/03/final-bazaar-project.html">bazaar projects</a>, I got to spend a whole. entire. day. amidst 2,000 screaming teenage girls.</p> <p align="center">But it was a good thing.</p> <p align="center">I took my daughter and her friend to Austin to attend the <a href="http://revolvetour.com/">2012 Revolve Tour</a> hosted by <a href="http://www.womenoffaith.com/">Women of Faith</a>. Just like a Women of Faith conference speaks to the hearts of women, the Revolve Tour speaks to the hearts of teenage girls. The speakers cover a range of topics that a “typical” teenager might have questions about. They also have musical guests, and a worship band. This is the third year we’ve attended and the girls had a blast.</p> <p align="center">As a mom, there were a few things that didn’t necessarily mesh with my views on things. <a href="http://chadeastham.com/">Chad Eastham</a> is an adorable young man who speaks every year on girls, boys, relationships and dating. He does have a great way of sharing things from a guy’s perspective, I just happen to disagree with him on dating. In our household, we believe in courtship, not dating, but after hearing him speak (again), it was just another opportunity to discuss the differences with my daughter.</p> <p align="center">Overall, it’s was a great day and we finished it off with a yummy Mexican food dinner before heading back home.</p> <p align="center">Please forgive the indoor photos~they were taken with my phone in a poorly lit building.</p> <p align="center">This is the front of the line when we arrived. We were in the middle. There literally were 2,000 sold out seats. Look at all those girls!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-1k4IRzkiTbc/T4R3oAGpGhI/AAAAAAAACQA/ckOsi_uCV8k/s1600-h/IMG_0507%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0507" border="0" alt="IMG_0507" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-7KaF9aHc0OE/T4R3pNYKe8I/AAAAAAAACQI/JCqpRg1Y4vs/IMG_0507_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="322" height="444" /></a></p> <p align="center">Alana and my daughter, Laina.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-kpfkr0A2NR8/T4R3qYPGGpI/AAAAAAAACQQ/YZFJvTQAzGI/s1600-h/IMG_0508%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0508" border="0" alt="IMG_0508" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-jm8DvEjhWxw/T4R3sAtNNJI/AAAAAAAACQY/5HgPAUdj7VI/IMG_0508_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="352" height="367" /></a></p> <p align="center">This is the stage and the countdown screen.

Never heard of them before. But that could be because I’m old. I am glad they also had a regular worship band, because these guys sang some remade Disney songs and a song by Bon Jovi. I know they are trying to appeal to everyone, but I don’t feel they need to mix so much of the world into it, if that makes sense. My daughter looked at me after they sang, <em>Livin’ on a</em> <em>Prayer</em> and said, “Mom, you don’t look impressed.”</p> <p align="center">I told her, “Honey, I’ve seen Bon Jovi. And Bon Jovi, they are not.”</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-7yPllPEu5hE/T4R3vvjNKuI/AAAAAAAACQw/UsQsA0tKwWc/s1600-h/IMG_0511%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0511" border="0" alt="IMG_0511" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ARbQliajbaU/T4R3xs4oSII/AAAAAAAACQ4/yec87ByW-fc/IMG_0511_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="346" /></a></p> <p align="center">Cute, lil’ <a href="http://jamie-grace.com/home">Jamie Grace</a> sang and shared her testimony of living with Tourette’s Syndrome.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-XKhIJuJQBa4/T4R3zBgrkmI/AAAAAAAACRA/kmduKP0Nhc8/s1600-h/IMG_0512%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0512" border="0" alt="IMG_0512" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3Msc4XXFLSo/T4R30EKHr3I/AAAAAAAACRI/IIP5I3L5TMU/IMG_0512_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="459" height="353" /></a></p> <p align="center">Master illusionist Harris III and his wife performed some great tricks and demonstrated that faith does not come by sight, and how the world wants these young girls to believe so many things that are not true.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-BzRnqYQmlt8/T4R31bIZgqI/AAAAAAAACRQ/XAa6SRU-5BM/s1600-h/IMG_0513%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_0513" border="0" alt="IMG_0513" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SoMWDm5I4jY/T4R32FxhfSI/AAAAAAAACRY/R89bkATvFTc/IMG_0513_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="484" height="322" /></a></p> <p align="center">Jenna Lucado Bishop, who is Max Lucado’s daughter, probably had the best message about dreams.
