College Dorm Life

Me and Suzanne (my friends from back home and my roomate) decided after we got here and everything was all set up and put away in our new dorm, that our apartment was pretty plain. So being the college students we are, with very few dollars, decided to go down to the dollar store and buy some decor to spice things up a bit. These are just some of the pictures that we took after we proudly admired our newly decorated living room and kitchen. It's not much but we enjoyed doing it. I almost like it better b/c I can admire the work that we put into it b/c the dollar store isn't exactly the IKEA of Utah. It took us much time and energy to figure out what we could throw together with all the stuff that we saw there at the dollar store and this is what we came up with. We even made our own picaso finger painting. I'm sure it will be worth a fortune some day b/c IT IS THAT GOOD! Our other roomate Sam (who is featured in some of the pictures) helped us create that beautiful masterpiece. Also you will see Suzanne with our wonderful vegetable platter that we snaged at the ward party (it was a leftover!)

It's truly amazing what you can do with a few bucks and some imagination!! Love the flamigo...does she have a name?

Yes, HIS name is Froofroo! Sam named him, he is Sam's after all. We did not buy at the dollar store...sadly! But that would have been a sweet find! Me and Suzanne dressed him up.

Wow, Froofroo is quite the conversational piece. I'm sure she will snag many dates for you guys from visiting hometeachers for example! :)
