Does this Rule?

My kids are anti- the "rules"  (but kids always are :-)
They suggested Beach House Life instead.

Beach House Dresser

Hello.
No blue today. Are you happy?
 I was going to do blue, but could not find the blue I wanted (Mark finished my "gray morning" duck egg blue on his project...which is still not finished by the way).
I only had the pale aqua and that didn't seem right for this one;
  so I went the beachy , driftwood direction.
 Perhaps I was inspired by the news of John's moving back to the beach. Anyway the drawers are plain cream and were crying for something more special and interesting .
I like the Beach House-  am undecided about "Rules?"
I was inspired by a sign that said "Beach House- Beach Rules".
But obviously we are working with 3 drawers here.
I kinda thought it worked as a double meaning- like no stuffy rules;  but also - Beach Houses RULE.
I was also considering simple palm trees at the sides of the bottom drawer?
Thoughts?

Still messing with Valentines- which one is better?

Hope they are treating you good!

What "lies" ahead

Ok, try to follow me here.
I was on MSN, and one of the articles was about 24 toys from the 90's that you should have held on to, because they are now collectors items. So, I admit it, I got hooked, I have plenty of my kids toys from the 90's still lurking about the house.
Below are the actual screen shots from the article:

Ok, so I know exactly where the flip head Power Ranger dolls are, and the Furbie is in my bathroom closet because it freaks some of the kids out,( I never could bring myself to throw it out).
So I get on Ebay, to do a little research

So this is not looking promising, but most of these are out of the package,- though pink Ranger seems to be New- Mint in Package.
Nope no $4000 here either for Trini.
Only $24.95 for Zach too

Interestingly enough no $4,000 for blue Ranger or Green Ranger either
 but they do average over $80 (3x the girls and black ranger- no kidding!)
Equality has not reached the Power Rangers!




Equality on the other hand can be found in the Furbie world- but not to the tune of $499.

Just stopped by....

I just stopped by the blog to see if you were having any snow, and instead I find jumping monkeys EVERYWHERE  ;-)
