We've Arrived

Well, we're here in the house, but we're still digging our way out of all the boxes and paper. (See below--there are actually three children in there). I've got my machine here, but haven't found the keyboard for the computer it hooks up to. Wish me luck--I've got to dive back into the unpacking.

BTW, the table is only in the family room because the floors were recently refinished. (Lots of fun and smell :D ). We haven't moved it yet.

Move in Progress

I haven't been able to post anything as I don't have access to my computer. (I'm at my sister-in-law's home). We're in the process of completing our move, but we've hit a few snags. I'll keep you posted and look for more vinyl projects when I am settled.

Princess Night Light

My daughter occasionally wants a night light when she goes to bed. I took our Princess word art and put it on an acrylic block. The block had a hole drilled into the bottom through which I fed a strand of battery operated lights (about 20 lights), and viola! A perfect night light for her room.

October Fun

It's already the 5th of October. Halloween is three and a half weeks away, and it's time to decorate. Consider putting vinyl rub-ons onto your windows and doors...

Clean Office and Moving

So the end result of a verrrrrrrry long and story is that we are still moving out of state. I've got my house all cleaned up for house showings (see the pretty office below), which unfortunately has put a big crimp in my ability to create gorgeous projects with vinyl.

(First I have a bathroom remodel, then I spend my summer away from home, and now I have to keep my house spotless--not an easy task with my kids). I'm running a bit short on pictures with all of this, but I do have a cute nightlight I created using our PRINCESS word art that I'll try and post soon.

Hopefully it won't be too much longer before we relocate, and my sweet husband has agreed I need a space I can call my own for crafts AND computer stuff. (I knew there was a reason I married him). We're looking as some places that have the potential for that, yet are modest in size and price (read full unfinished basement instead of partial with a crawl).

We also agree I need a laundry room instead of a laundry closet. (Our boys generate a massive amount of laundry).

No More Confusion

I have children who always fight over their belongings. I grew sick of the fighting over the hampers, so I bought enough for each child to have one, and I labeled them.

It great cuts down on the confusion--except when they fight over who put the extra pair of underwear in their hamper!

Time to get organized

One of the things we did this summer was spend three weeks in Utah. My kids got to visit with all of their cousins there (on both sides of our family), and I got to spend some great time with my sisters! My youngest sister and I helped our mom out (who was pretty ill) by helping her declutter and simplify her life. Her pantry was a thing of beauty when we finished!

Here are a few photos of pantry containers Jodee (Walls of Wisdom co-owner) did.

I'm back!

Wow, what a whirlwind summer! We put our house on the market, visited family, moved to another state and moved back (yep, we moved back). In any case I'm home and I have some fun ideas to share.

Hope you had a great summer too!

And since it's back to school time, here's a fun wall Jodee did for her son's room. (She used two layers of vinyl for the effect).


Oh, and in case you were wondering, here's how the bathroom turned out.
