The Rays of Sunshine

Here are a few things that have been going on lately at the Ray house. After Christmas, Ricky and I decided it was time to "update" our house. We put up curtains, hung things on the wall, and gave our bedroom at small make over. It was a lot of fun, and our house looks so nice and welcoming now. Here is our finished living room, before and after. Before After/ Above the couch New Curtains Here is our Bedroom, My favorite update, before and after.                        This was our bed before the update. A gold bedspread and blue sheets, not pretty. Here is a picture with the new bedding, but nothing else. Here is the after. I love it!! There is still a lot missing on this wall. Any suggestions to make it better? Dereks room: I thought I had a before picture, but I don't. His room has so much color and life to it, I love it...

Once again, I am behind, so Now is my opportunity to get caught up. Like most people, instead of setting new year resolutions, I have decided to make monthly goals, and see how good I am about competing them. Here are my goals for the month of January. 1. Write Thank you letters to:  Mom, Dad, Ricky, Derek, Tamara At the new church we have started attending, they are doing the same thing, each month they will present a "Challenge" and you have the whole month to complete the challenge. This month it was to write 3 letters to someone, telling them, Thank you. I was able to that this challenge, and run with it, I was able to write 7 letters, and I am happy that I was able to complete the challenge, and to let the ones I love, know how much I care about them.  2. Start Project I have a special idea in mind for a new scrapbook, and I wanted to make sure that I was able to get the thought process, brainstorming idea started. More will be reviled as it is complete...
