I am so proud (even though it isn t perfect) for turning this thought into reality. I genuinely tear up every time I come out because it s a permanent makeover - no more re-visiting, no more re-doing...it s there to stay for all the memories to create. Happy Sunday you beautiful humans! I will see you soon for another DIY. For those who are actually reading this description, this project kicked my butt in so many ways on and off screen. I challenged myself to give myself a win in between the "fails" even if they were small. From playing fetch with the dogs for 10 minutes to feeding my desert squirrels and recentering back to the present. I know we all have our own ish and go through our own highs and lows but man, please try to remember this is all temporary and to breathe baby.
