What a difference....

Hello Everyone!

 

We were able to go to to the house site today and check on the process but also try and deliver our decorative glass window and front door....however, they were trying to finish the roof with the black tarp things because rain is coming and we didn't want to leave our items just laying there, so we took them back home with us.  What a pain that has been today :)

 

 

Here are the photos I snapped today.  They had all the windows in (except for my master bath) and the back patio door is ready to go on. 

 

They still need to frame the arches in the inside and the main one on the outside, but I can start to see everything come together.

Front of the house now has the peaks.  Waiting on the arch to be built on the front.

 

Back of the home.  You can now see the grilling porch on the back!

 

 

Love the way it is looking!!  Cannot wait to see drywall and brick and stone!

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  Cant wait to go "window" shopping with my mom and try to find pretty things for the new house.  My voice is gone...again....but we will make the best of it.



In the mood to shop & 4th sneak peak!

Have you ever been in just the mood to go shopping?!  I am feeling that way but its oh so hard to do it when we are saving to build a house next spring.  So I guess I will have to let her do it.......want to know her name now?!

Meet Ellie, the elephant that is ALL girly and loves polka dots, bows, glitter and everything else girly!

It is still so hot here and we have head advisories going on.  Aiden wants to go out side all day and its just too hot for it!  Although he doesn't quite understand that!! 

I did get an email on when I would be releasing the name (keep the emails coming!!) It is coming VERY soon.  Like I emailed her back, my website is out there right now LOl.  So if you someone found it...they could see everything and I want to make sure it is perfect and ready for the grand opening...so I pinky promise its coming in a matter or days!!   

Come back soon for another sneak peak! 

In the meantime I am linking to these wonderful challenge spots!

Im back!

Miss me?!

For like two days straight any blogs or blogger were not working. I couldnt check anyones blog OR update mine. This is how I know I am addicted HAHA

Just got home a few hours ago from shopping in a nearby state with my mom and my sister for my anual bday shopping trip!! We first went to a big stamp store...I spent too much $$$ but hey...stamps last forever...right?! ;)

Then we went to Ikea....I could have walked out with more stuff than my sisters car would hold (and trust me..I was sad because her car infact doesnt hold very much at all besides 4 people LOL). I sat all the way home with 2 huge chalkboard/dry erase easels for the boys. They were only $14.99!! Cant beat that!!

Oh well..its an excuse to go back...with my suv instead :)

Then we went off to the mall and I got alot of goodies..want to hear all about them?

• new lipstick
• Coach flipflops
• Juicy Couture bubblegum machine (yes..for my scrapbook room)
• Forever 21 jewerly
• egg perfect tool from Williams and Sonomoa
• TONS of stuff from Ikea
• SO MANY STAMPS!!

Im proud of myself..I had a budget and stuck with it!! I even have a dollar left over LOL and I could eat lunch and dinner out

I had SO SO SO much fun. I really needed this...alot of my girl friends currently never really have time or the money to shop like this (I had bday money!!) Thanks to my mom and my grandma and a really sweet husband of mine. Cant wait to show you all my new stamps.

I have had 2 people ask me what cake was made (people who took the Wilton classes with me asked this on facebook) for my bday. I was not in the mood to make my own cake and lately I have been craving sugar cookies...I cant get enough so Brent got me 12 Blondies sugar cookies for my "cake". LOL...yes I shared with him...and Aiden

Here is quick card that I made using a new Michaels $1 stamp. I paper pieced the tree tops and used some of those clear flower pot things, which to me look like dew drops! The tree tops are popdotted as well.



Sorry this post wasnt about scrapbooking or cardmaking really but I had so much fun today and I couldnt keep it bottled up.

Time for bed now...I am so tired!!

Today was a busy day today...I went to my moms and I always have fun.

We went to Nashville today and was able to beat the rain (YAY)....we had a great lunch and did some shopping.

My mom and I were so excited when we went into an adorable shop that carried alot of the Pimitive items...and this!

*Picture is not of my bathroom..image is from Piper Classics* :)

We had ordered several i tems from Piper classics and I always wanted to order this but shipping is kinda high and didnt know what it looked like in person and this store had 4 of them! 2 for my house and 2 for my moms.
what is it?!
Its called a tank caddy..here is the link at an online store. It holds 2 extra rolls of toilet paper and a sqaure box of tissues in there! How cool is that! Its so pretty in real life and its a blessing especially for our downstairs bathroom..which is where people always go to the bathroom and there isnt a nice place to hide extra toilet paper.


Well sorry for the rambling..but its a cool product! Time to go watch the survivor we DVR'd tonight...see you tomorrow :)
