My Summer Home

Here is a picture of my new summer cottage...

Don't you just love it?

This is my latest craft project. The base is the awesome new house from Doodlebug Designs. I covered it with card stock cut with my Cricut. And then slathered the whole thing with a coat of Mod Podge... Thanks for looking.

A Big Plug

On May 18 Scraptown.com will have a weekend crop... games, prizes, challenges, tons of scrapping, and tons of fun... so please stop by town and check it out.

Food for Thought

The challenge this time is to describe our food likes and dislikes..

Okay so my most favorite food has to be chicken... most any way you cook it i'll eat it... umm so tasty, so moist when cooked right, smells so good... and lets face you can cook chicken just about any way with anything and it's good... unfortunately my dh is all chickened out and on a serious red meat kick... which makes my list of do not eats...

but topping my dislike list has to be Tuna Fish... and would you like to know why. my parent were on a kick when i was younger to break my picky eating habits... so I was to try everything. Well one day tuna and noodles came up and my father and I had a huge fight about it and ended up sitting at the table till like Midnight when I finally finished it. He won that battle but I won overall since he never made me try anything I didn't want to again....

Things i'll never get to....

Blog Builder #1 from Scraptown....

Things I'll never get to tell a daughter....

1. What it will feel like when she gets that first kiss... that little twitter of excitement and fear all at the same time.
2. How scary yet exciting that first period will be.
3. How to protect herself from those in the world that may not have the best intentions.
4. How beautiful she looks in an Easter Dress, flower girl dress, prom dress, or most of all a wedding dress.
5. That other girls can be mean, so hold your head high and do your best to show them what they think doesn't matter, even when it does.
6. No matter what the scale says your beautiful.
7. I love you!

On The Move

We are officially on the move. Three out of four rooms are painted and DH just went off to finish the last while I head to church. Then we'll probably make several trips today back and forth. Sent my camera with DH so those pictures will be coming soon. I think by the end of the week though I could need something to help me calm my nerves....

An Anxiety Producing Moment

Our house is officially now on the market to sell. I'm ready to move but also sad to see this part of my life ending. This is my first house as a married woman, my sons whole life so far has been spent here. I'm also worried about the people coming in and out to look at the house... the needing to keep it tidy and picked up... all that Jazz. Hopefully though we'll be in the new house by the end of the month, then that won't be an issue.

The packing is a whole other story too. Going through all our stuff, trying to purge before packing, then moving it all and unpacking it... what a chore. Stay tuned for pictures of the new digs as soon as possible.
