Hi everyone,

I think I am officially over my "downer" - I am still looking for a job, but I am working part-time, and am feeling cheerful enough to post again without risking scaring anyone!!!

I thought you might like to see what I have been up to during my "down-time". I have just finished re-decorating my guest bedroom. I bought some nice "ethnic" goodies when I was back in South Africa for Christmas, and built the theme around that. (There are still a few pics to be hung up - haven't got them back from the framer yet), but I am quite pleased with the way it worked out!

Close up of the paint - I am really pleased with this - It's not a stick-on border - I painted and stencilled it myself!
