We're Moving!!!!!

I mentioned the other day that I had some good news. We're moving.Yay To make a long story short. I am originally from Georgia and we have only been in Alabama for 3 years now and have been renting a house. We've been looking for another house to rent for a few months and finally found a house we love. It is just down the road from this subdivision and we will be moving on June 1.(which is also our 21st wedding anniversary)The subdivision we are in now is huge and the street we live on is a raceway. The speed limit is 25 and people just fly up and down this street. We have had 2 cats hit by cars and it is just unbelievable how fast they go. The other reason is we have 2 dogs and I really want them to be outside and this house is in a smaller subdivision and has a fenced in yard. We are very excited!!! I only have a few pics right now but once we move in I will show you more. I had my assistant taking pictures so some of them are blurry. My assistant being my oldest son.LOL

Isn't the kitchen beautiful? The owners still have their furniture in it and they are already living in FLA(lucky them)and they are coming back up next month to get all of their things. Look out in the backyard and you can see that awesome fenced in yard.

The living room with a sunroom off of it.

The laundry room is off of the kitchen and look at all of the storage. The door to your left goes to the Master bathroom and there is another door(not in the picture)that is the Master bedroom closet. It is a cool house. There are 2 rooms in the garage that have heating/air and one is perfect for my craft room and the other one will be for Brandon(the oldest)so he can have his own space.

Tune in for more later.

Thrift Store Finds

I went to SA the other day and found some really good treasures.

I am going to paint these ducks. So stay tuned for that.

I have soooo many of these wooden bowls that I need to paint.

This cabbage bowl is a keeper.

The angel has glue on the bottom that's why it is not sitting up and I'm keeping the little bunny.

I'm going to paint these baskets too! What thrifty treasures have you found lately? Pin It Now!

Update on Hubby

Hello everybody. Well last Thursday was not a very productive day. I took Jeff to the hospital so the doctor could do lithotripsy on his stones and after the surgery was over and the doctor came out to talk to me he told me that he couldn't get the stones. He thinks when they filled his bladder up the stones must have went back up into the kidney and he went ahead and put a stent in to make it easier on him. Well, there has been nothing easier about it. He has been in pain everyday not from the stones but from the stinking stint. If any of you have kidney stones don't ever let them put a stint in, he has been in so much pain and I hear it is even worse when they have to pull it out.OUCH!!! I have to take him in the morning for that procedure. Lots of prayers. I will get back to posting when my love starts feeling better. Hope all is well and happy crafting. Pin It Now!

Just A Quick...... Hello

Hello everybody. I just wanted to let you all know that I am still here. I was sick for about a week, and this past Thursday my husband started having kidney stone pain.YUCK I thought I was going to have to take him to the ER but he got through the pain. I took him to the DR. Friday and he has two stones.DOUBLE YUCK! He didn't pass them over the weekend, so today I am taking him to his Urologist so they can see them. Kidney stones are not fun at all. I also have some really great news but I will have to share more of that for another day. I hope everyone is doing well and have a great week.

Love Ya'll To Pieces

Ribbon Collar Easter Vase

You have a minute toPin It

This was an easy craft to do. I took one of my elastic hair bands and tied ribbons around it and put it over the vase. I put eggs in the vase and my little bunny that I bought from Pier One last year and I have an instant decoration for Easter.
