too much time on my hands.....la

Thats' the song going through my head. Only problem is there isn't enough!! lol

Finally got my scraproom done this last weekend!! Here is a VERY quick video of it and PLEASE ignore the way i am talking. Have NO idea why? Unless I talk like that every day? Please stop me k?

Since I had it all done I scrapped sunday morning and a bit in the evening!! I got Two layouts done and some cards for cards swaps over the next couple months!

No so Friday, Friday

Not that its a Monday either. I stayed home from work till Thursday this week so I could get some unpacking and organizing done in the new house!!! YES I have moved!!!

LaRee and I started loading the Uhaul Friday morning before we even had permission to get into the house. We closed on Thursday but funding did not happen till Friday. I got the key a day early (shhhhh) and we were just waiting for the word. Well it didn't come and didn't come so I said to heck with it and got permission from the selling agent to just go do it. I told him we were cleaning. LOL. As it turns out the funding and recording happened just as were going to unload! Thankfully LaRee's hubby got off work to come help and between him, his son in law, and my friends son Chris we got most of it that day!! We had one load that Darla, and Chris helped with on Saturday and that is IT!!

So this week has been spent hauling in boxes from the garage and starting to unpack!!

So I am hoping to start unpacking my scrap room tonight!!!! Speaking of scrapbooking........

Join My office March 19th for our first ever March of Dimes scrapbook crop!!! We will be having it at my new house and dinner will be provided! The crop is from 11 in the morning till 10 at night!!! If you are interested in coming please let me know!!!

prayers are answered!

Just to update everyone!!

We got the home!! Finally!!

In November we found a perfect home for our family. Mother included. Enough room for the boys to play downstairs with 5 bedrooms, two storage rooms, and a CRAFT room!!! We put down and offer and it was excepted. It was in a short sale so we were getting it a fantastic price.
Meanwhile the paperwork was underway at the bank. Two days before we were supposed to close we finally got the appraisal. The appraisal was 8 thousand less than what we offered. The sellers agent through a fit and low and behold the appraiser admitted a mistake on the appraisal. Not sure now if it even was a mistake. The bank graciously considered the mistake for WEEKS and I mean WEEKS. Finally the answer was given after several extensions, addendum and stress the bank said "sorry, we are accepting the original appraisal price." We put in an addendum to have the offer at the lower price and hoped and prayed that it would be excepted so we could close! The seller accepted late Friday afternoon!! The bank is now getting all the paperwork ready for closing by FRIDAY!! So not only did we get the home we wanted but 8,000 dollars cheaper than the offer! God was watching out for us!!!

We will be moving QUICK this weekend into our new home!! So excited!!

Now to just get my mom here. :)

let go and let

GOD!!!

I REALLY need to learn how to do that better.

We still have not closed on the home. We are still playing the whole bank vs. buyer game. Its a game I really hope not to loose but at this point its hard not to think that.

Keep praying warriors and I will post if/when I ever find anything out.

prep

Since we are moving (still praying that it actually happens) we needed to touch up the wall that got scrapped from our garbage can. Two of my walls in my kitchen are brown and those are the only ones we are touching up. We got the paint yesterday (brown) and all the tools we needed and today me and Bug started prepping. Which mean lots of taping. Today I discovered that Bug is a Fantastic taper!! Saved me sooo much time. He got on the counters and did all the high stuff and I did all the lower taping! ( I have a heights issue) Here he is helping out. He looks pretty dejected in these photos, not because I am making him help ( he offered) but because I took out my camera to document it.

Hope he is as good at painting as he is at frowning!

Layout number 8 and the LAST

Phew, bet you guys are done with this!!! At least I am posting. Or pre-posting or whatever.

This layout is of my friend/secretary Darla's office lunch. We always close the office on our birthdays and head to heaven on a plate for some fun! Darla chose Garcia's on this birthday and got stuck wearing the dreaded sombrero. Ew. How many germs exactly????

Layout number 7

I have never been one to like scrapping holidays. Especially Halloween butI really like how this one turned out!! Still need to journal!! lol
