We're moving!

Sorry I've been absent and not posting, but we've sold our house! Very exciting because we are preparing to move! So the not so exciting part is that I am constantly packing! Boo.

I have probably 95% of the kitchen packed, everything we not selling on craigslist packed in the family, dining, living room, and study packed. I have started packing the girls bedrooms. We're in the midst of sorting out our children's books. I'm letting the girls decide which ones they want to sell and which ones they want to keep. What we don't keep or sell will all be going to charity.

I am dreading packing the playroom and I'm holding out on that because I don't want to pack that too soon because where would we be without our oasis of toys.

So packing has been eyeopening. Who knew we had glasses we could use as a straw? Or so many coffee mugs from Las Vegas? My personal favorite has been finding all these wooden salad bowls I forgot about. I know I'll NEED them someday, they're coming with me!

Happy Easter!

On a mini blog break because we're visiting family in Rochester, NY!

Home is where my babies are!

Something that is very meaningful right now.

Hello

Little yard work this weekend,

and playing,

and scrapping!

Can I brag for a second?

These two girls had a fantastic visit to the dentist today! It was the first visit ever for both and they were both well behaved and had an all around perfect visit! No cavities or problems with either girl and the tooth I was worried about with Charlotte is fine. She fell off a kitchen breakfast stool a bit ago and there was bleeding around her tooth. I was worried it would turn grey. The dentist said it was fine and no worries.

Nora had an x-ray and the dentist thinks she will start feeling some loose teeth in six months to a year. Tooth fairy time! I can't tell you how relieved and proud I am! Dentist time does not equal scary time!

You can say that again!

Scrap Space

I have my scrap space located in a closet in my kids playroom. It's very convenient because I'm with the girls and everything I own is within arms reach.

My desk is laminate kitchen top from Home Depot installed by my husband with some accessories from Ikea on the walls and an Ikea stool. I keep the majority of my pattern paper stacked on the floor. Not the best solution, but when I'm looking for something, I usually find some paper I forgot about!

The top shelf of the closet holds all my paints, ribbons, buttons, & flowers. Buttons & flowers are in spaghetti jars that have been through the dishwasher a couple times. To the right of the paints is a box like container w/ 3 drawers where I keep alphas, rub-ons, & stickers.

To the left of the paints is another little unit where I keep acrylic stamps and stamp pads. Also filled with random embellishments. I keep my wood mounted stamps on top of said container. Hanging from closet rod are containers from Ikea where I store adhesives, deco scissors, and more randomness.

It was too quiet when I was taking my pictures earlier. I had to investigate and found the girls in a new hideaway behind the rocker in Charlotte's room!
