Aneika and her room...

Aneika!! What more can I say?? Our very expressive teenage daughter!!
She has been wanting to do up her room for ages and for the last 8 months I have said to her she can but she needs to keep it clean and tidy for 2 months. A few months ago I softened and brought it down to a month in the hope that this goal would be easier to reach and she would try...... not so............
Anyway she decided to put various things on her wall, that was fine but it has escalated, by the time her best friend Loren left after an overnight stay on the weekend I was confronted with.... (well see the pictures below)....
Aneika dressed as the tooth fairy for the latest youth dance - "T" style.
Aneika's dressing table on a good day.

Her desk.... that's where she is s'posed to study but it's often covered in her latest craft. She is very creative and does create some great stuff.
Last night you could actually see the carpet, but it doesn't always look this good!!

Her ceiling. On the weekend she asked Jason for old Cd's, which he gave to her. I don't think he queried what she wanted them for...
Some of her artwork. Some I like, others I don't... I do have some of her artwork framed around the house...
The wall that started it all. One of her Friends had done it to theirs, and at the time it seemed OK....
Another of her walls. When she put up the pink cardboard I didn't look too closely and assumed that she had bluetaced it to the wall..... but the other day I discovered that she had used drawing pins.... apparently it was too heavy for bluetac!

Lets hope it is "just a phase she is going through".... give it a couple of years and she will be a clean freak...everything minimalistic...nothing on the walls and all streamline with no "baby stuff".... speaking from experience here Tam!!!!!
