A friend in my ward showed me her room a few months back and I saw this really cute frame that she had created to hold her earrings. I loved it, but never got around to creating one for myself. I finally got to Home Depot to get all of the supplies and to Ross where I bought the frame. First I painted the frame, then cut the wire stuff, which really took awhile, then somehow got the wire to stay in the frame. After a few mishaps, it all came together very nicely and I love being able to see all my earrings, it's fabulous. It's both useful and a very sheek addition to my room.
About my room, since I moved in last August, I really haven't invested much into it and it seemed to feel very empty. I decided to work on it, I put up my BYU Diploma, pictures of my family and friends and a calendar with pictures of Christ. It's really a great representation of the things that I value most in my life: the Savior, my family/good friends, education. I really have enjoyed being in my room since the face lift. By surrounding myself with things that I love I have better been able to have joy in the journey, as President Monson encouraged us in the last conference. I am trying to learn, along with some of my dearest friends, how to love every aspect of my life, even when it doesn't seem to be what I had planned.
