Minnie & BoBo

Here are pictures of Minnie Mouse and her new friend BoBo the Third. 2 years ago after seeing the PetSmart commercial with the cute little Dachsund and his beloved stuffed friend BoBo, I bought Minnie her own BoBo. She loves him dearly! He's purple. However he has been loved so much that he has had several surgeries to put his insides back in and seams stitched back together. Santa brought Minnie a Grinch BoBo for Christmas last year, but thanks to Maddie (our 11 month old Lab) the Grinch is missing an arm, half his Santa coat,the middle squeaker, and most of his stuffing. So I decided it was time for BoBo the Third. I'm hoping to quietly retire the Grinch. Like purple BoBo , Minnie loves him dearly and is extremely protective of him. She's moved him to several hiding places to keep him away from Maddie. Maddie has now claimed the Grinch and Minnie doesn't seem to mind at all. Now I've got to find a new BoBo for Maddie.

Miss T has been playing around with my camera. I downloaded some photos I'd taken and found these. I put the daylilly on my desktop. What a beautiful surprise!

Miss T's Room

Miss T and I have redecorated her room. As a tweenager, she decided her ocean theme room was too babyish. Her tastes at age 11 are more sophisticated now. What a difference two years can make! That's what I get for letting her watch too much TLC and HGTV. We made the wall art over her dressing table by stapling fabric to the back of a photo screen (given as a gift). The bed linens and Roman shade were found on clearance at JC Penney (catalog). The brown square pillow was found at Tuesday Morning. The art over the bed, teal cubes, (put under the window to form a window seat ,also great storage), teal lamps and the white rug were found at WalMart. The two small storage units on each side of the bed were found at Fred's (local dollar store). The walls were painted hemp rope, found at Lowe's. We could have filmed our own episode of Design on a Dime (HGTV). The dressing table with mirror and bench was found at Trees and Trends (on clearance of course). BTW, the bed fits in the nook without an inch to spare. Thank goodness, because she based the arrangement on the placement of the bed.
She really enjoys her room. I find myself watching TV there when she's at her dad's. It is so calm and serene.
I've added a before photo to show the dramatic change.
