Seasons of Change, college, teenager, kindergaten, etc...

I have been very busy crafting this last week.  What a blessing to have my two oldest daughters be so excited to be a part of it. I will be posting many of the crafts I have been working on and some of their crafts as well. We are in the process of sending our "Adopted" daughter to college in less than two weeks, so the time with her doing late night craft nights has been priceless.  We are also in the middle of transitioning the tween room to the teen room as Madalyn turns 13 in a month.  So, you would think that would be keeping me busy.  Not long after we got started on the room redecorating planning, my boys come to me and tell me that they want a Transformer room.  I said "NO" as Pottery Barn doesn't make a Transformer theme and I still LOVE their PBK Fire Truck room.  Then, I stepped back, and really thought about it.  Was this about me or them?  I have prayed over my boys to grow and make choices, and learn from the choices.  This is their space, and I am not the one to control it, unless it is just way off the deep end in ideas.  I told them that I would allow it, but they have to keep the Autobots (the good guys) as the focus and not the Decepticons (the bad guys).  What a stretch it was for me to let go of my ideas and let them pick.  I was surprised Bryceton who has been a Thomas the Train fan, wants a Transformer room.  He looks up to Kaseton so much, that I think he wants it because of Kaseton.  Now, Miss Avrilyn 2.5 says she wants a Princess room.  So, I did add in a few crafts for her, but will not be redoing her room any time soon!  Has been lots of fun getting out the craft stuff and creating new things!  I think I may have new product and ideas on the horizon to bring in some more income!  Would love to hear your thoughts on things you like or even don't like about my crafts, that is why I keep my blog.  Mind you, everything is done on a budget.  The cost to redo my kid's rooms is ZERO dollars, a total swap of selling the current decor on eBay and Craigslist and with the money made we purchase the new stuff!
