Railroad tracks are like the adventure of life. One never knows where our paths will lead us. Will it be the smooth shiny side, or the dull side of the track, with a few imperfections along the way?

Another Project
Tomorrow we are celebrating Grand #4 & 5's birthday's, with a cookout, and a Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake!!! Their gifts are coordinating comforter sets for their bedroom. I really like these because they match but can be reversed.
I was a little disappointed because they did not have coordinating window treatments. So, after I picked up the comforter sets, my next destination was the fabric store. I found some materials that would match, and made them a valance for their window. I like the way it turned out. And I hope they do too!!
The valance is mostly purple, with three pink box pleats in the center. The four stripes are lime green with yellow ric-rac down the center. Hopefully just enough bling without being over bearing.
And that's the way it is..................................
