House Update: Walls!

Hello!

 

Finally a house update :)

 

We woke up pretty early to go to a nearby city to do the Lowe's Build and Grow for Aiden.  I will post those photos later...they are so cute!

 

So after the project we drove by the land and to our surprise there was a smaller crew working today!  That's exciting, its Saturday so I didn't expect them to be working and boy they made a lot of progress since I was last there.

 

Here is one of the last photos I had shared:

And today around noon

 

Driving up to the land we can see walls now! 

 

 

Starting to look like a house now from the road!

 

The square window is the master bath window (my stained glass/decorative window) and the 2 rectangle windows are in the mater bedroom

 

They were working on the garage framing when we pulled up

 

Front of the house:

It's so fun to see the shape coming.  On the right is the 3 car garage, then we have the double window area in the dining room, front door area, double window in my scrapbook room, and the last room with the boards over the window area is a bedroom. 

 

From this area we can see Aidens bedroom (far right), his closet, the kids bath, and part of the spare bedroom.

 

Back of the house.  The far left is the other 2 master bedroom windows, kitchen area, back covered porch and living room area for 3 windows.

 

Better view of the living room and the spare bedroom

 

So exciting!  I know its different when its not your house and its hard to tell whats what but I can look at this and picture us living here and cant wait to see the roof coming!

 

We were hoping to climb in the house and take pics and look around but didn't want to bother the guys working.  We tend to make a scene with Aiden and wanting to do everything himself, and it was a HUGE MUD HOLE there today.  Oh well, I would rather them be working then to take a few photos of the inside right now

 

 

What a great weekend!!!

 



Busy Busy!

Do you know how much I love pulling into my driveway seeing that sign?! Of course nothing is set in stone till the papers are signed but things are moving fast so it looks pretty good!! I blurred out all the info on there for privacy and because I didnt ask our realator to post his info :)

I also wanted to take the picture before all the snow came! We have about 4 inches right now and its still going!

Sorry for the lack of updates but my Etsy has been hit pretty hard with orders and custom orders and I am still working to get things out. One of the custom items I finished recently was a 7ft baby shower banner!

She wanted the colors: yellow, blue, pink and duck theme! I love the way it turned out!!

So now I am off to finish orders and try to start packing. Alot of people have asked us where we are going? Our next step is a rental place because honestly we didnt expect our house to sell so fast in the economy and also in the Winter and we will not settle on a house thats "ok" since alot people wait till Spring to post. We are also still looking into building and finding land thats afforadable to do that as well!! Exciting times for my family

Its been awhile..

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone still checks back to read. Life has been crazy and honestly I fell into a blogging slump you could call it.

I have had so many Etsy custom orders lately and it has finally slowed down a little. Well to at least where I can actually breathe again LOL. I have been trying to earn all the extra money I could to help purchase our dream land for our dream home

Ready to put an offer down and couldnt have been more excited

one more drive by late at night to get excited and make sure we still liked it (we did)

Next morning...it was under contract..so pretty much sold in my eyes. We are hoping it falls through (sounds terrible I know...) and we can get it again.

Very disapointing when you want something so much and work so hard to get things in order to have it and then its gone. :(

Everything happens for a reason so we are still looking for land we like or a beautiful home.

I am watching my nephew today so I am not sure if I will have much time to blog later so I just wanted to quickly post where I have been and that I am back!

Here are some things I have been working on. Sold in my Etsy store.

Thanks for looking and come back soon!

Saturday

Hey Everyone!

Its Saturday!! We have a busy weekend for us. We have to look at a house again today and tomorrow and Monday we have people wanting to see our house...hopefully one will put in a offer

;)

I just wanted to share with you another custom order I did for a birthday party where the colors were hot pink, black, white and cupcake theme.

I love the way these turned out!!

It is actually raining here in Indiana today...crazy. We havent seen rain in for so long! Aiden is at his grandmas today so of course it rains (going outside is his FAVORITE thing to do)

My mom bought Aiden a winter coat, warm socks, new shoes and some adorable LONG sleeve shirts the other day....so sad. I miss the warmer weather already lol. Oh well at least hes ready for the colder weather.

I hope to get some craft time in..I need to finish another lollipop order (can be seen in my store)

sorry to cut this short but I have to get ready to see the house :)

So Sweet

Hey Everyone

I havent had much time this weekend to really blog and be on the internet. We have been looking at alot of houses and honestly..its getting pretty annoying.

Every house we have really liked and wanted to put offers on....there already offers in and we can put in backup ones...kinda frustrating!

This happened about 2 years ago..we were crushed and havent really looked since..and now its happening again LOL.

We just need to find some nice land and build......maybe oneday

I was able to play around with some newer stamps I bought not too long ago and I have never used these adorable skunks..so I played with this one!

The skunks have fun flock on the white areas! I colored them with copics and to get the skunks black color..I just used the C's (mainly C7 and C5)..I really like the way the "blacks" turned out without having to use the actul dark black.

I hope to get more crafting in this weekend! My mom and I have a big stamp show next Saturday and we are so excited!!!!!!!!
