NO END IN SIGHT!!

Oh my word, I feel like I have been going non stop for weeks. We closed on our house last week and it has been non stop since. So far we have removed all the carpet, scrapped and sanded the wood floors in the bedrooms, removed all the carpet strips, tore up the tile floor in the dining room and living room, painted all the bedrooms (except trim), painted the upstairs bath room, tore off the popcorn ceiling in the dining room and living room, patched holes in the walls and ceiling, and are now in the process of stripping the paint off of the kitchen cupboards. And we are nowhere near done yet. Tomorrow we will be adding a bit of texture to the ceilings, finishing the cupboards (hopefully), and whatever else I can squeeze into the day. I still have to prime and paint the living room before the carpet comes on the 3rd, fix the mess in the kitchen and dining room, paint trim in bedrooms, stain and finish the wood floors and so much more before we can even think about moving in. As of now we are planning on the 4-7 to move into this house. Then we will start cleaning the old house and getting ready for an Estate Sale. That will happen the 9-14th.
I have had no time to do any crafting. I di happen to finish the scrapbook that I made for Andrew's teacher. She said that it was the best gift she had ever gotten in all her years of teaching...wasnt even my best work..LOL!
So please forgive me for not listing any new cards and for not posting more often...IM POOPED!!

I Am Still Here

I know it has been a while since I last posted anything. Life has been kicking my butt!!

It has been crazy busy around here the last few weeks. Lets see, we are teaching our 16 year old how to drive, he drives to school every morning. We are trying to finish the process of buying the house...only 8 days to go till closing!! WOOHOO! We are trying to switch car insurance companies so we can get a cheaper rate with more coverage. Today I had jury duty, didn't get chosen! The end of the school year is only 2 1/2 weeks away so you can imagine all that is included with that, field trips, field day, tests...you name it!! And so much more that I just wont bore you with!

Anyway, my neck seems to be healing very well. I can spend most of my time now without the collar! Every now and then it gets tired and needs a break. I AM DRIVING NOW...WOOOOHOOOO! I am thrilled! I have to admit though that Rob was correct when he said it would be cheaper for me to not be driving. I think I have hit every scrapbook and craft store that we have here! I will say that I have not bought nearly as much as I wanted to!

I have been trying to come up with an idea for a card for once we move to the new house to send out to everyone. My friend Lori gave me a pop up file to use that is super cute. I am going to tweak it a bit more and once we close on the house I will post a picture of it. I don't want to jinx it by showing the card before I get the house! Silly I know, but that's how I am!
So stay tuned for pictures!
