We're In

Happy Halloween
Josie's pumpkin turned out really cute.
This is a really random post, but I've had some requests about our move & the house we've moved into. The people that own this house said that they were repainting when they moved back (in two years) so no worries, but I still have tried to use some of the original nails and things like that. We aren't going to be here too long, so I didn't think I wanted to get too much of our stuff unpacked. BUT, as we've moved in, I've found that I just don't have it in me to not decorate and put up a few of our things to make this house our home. Amy, the lady that owns the house, left some of her stuff and is that is great. We have a lot of the same tastes.
This is a sad picture. An empty room in our old house.


And here are a few things in the trailer we moved with. We were SHOCKED to find out how much stuff we have.


I wanted to show Geri where I put my birthday gift. (a close up of it is a few pics down) I was so sad because I got it in the mail just a couple days before we moved. So I opened it, and then I packed it. As soon as it surfaced, I found the perfect place to put it. It makes me smile, so I put it where I see it every time I walk in from the garage. Thanks again, Geri.



This is the mess we started the first night we moved in. It only got worse from there. BUT the calendar was hung first thing. I'm embarrassed how many things I was late for or just forgot about that week. I live by my calendar, that is for sure.



Just more mess.



My sweet gift from Geri.


Right after the calendar was hung I did my next most important thing...
I MADE MY BED!


And yes, my red cabinet came with us. I've had a few offers and requests, but it is still with us.



So things are getting cleaned up and it is feeling like home for us.
We have been really lucky to find a great place to live and great people to rent from.
Now on to the next project.

Looks like a nice place. Glad you are in and getting on with the next project! Lots of hard work (yard, etc) and decisions ahead.

looks like a nice little home! (and i bet it feels real nice to have something feel like home again—moving takes a lot of ya) I especially like the stitchery, it's sure pretty.
p.s. i got a sweet little thank you note in the mail today. thank you for the nice thank you.
