Hi. I'm back. So, we moved. Well, 6 burly men moved stuff while I watched. But they were real nice and I bought them lunch. They helped me to keep at least one tiny speck of my sanity in check. I say one tiny speck because the night before the move I almost lost it. I mean, almost totally lost it. Ask my husband. He'll tell ya. Good thing he was calm, because man, it takes me awhile to lose my cool but when I do I have a hard time finding it again. Moving is hard. And stressful. It's in the top 5 biggies of stressful events. No joke.

But enough about me. The house is AWESOME. I mean, the bomb-diggity. Like people used to say in the 90s but don't anymore. Except me. I still say it every once in awhile. Like today. I mean, the house is SO cool, I don't even mind tripping over the boxes and searching to find basic stuff, like the keys to my husband's motorcycle so I can finally get rid of the dang thing. FINALLY. I hated that thing. Sold it to one of the moving men. Just one more reason I love them. I think his wife probably wants to kill me now, and I felt a tiny twinge of guilt. But just a twinge. Because if she were me, she would threaten to lie down in the driveway so he had to run her over if he wanted to ride it. Seriously. That's what I said.

So, the hunt for things and the unpacking of boxes continues. But I am sooooo in love with this place. And all the wonderous decorating I'm going to do here. Pics of the messiness to come when I can finally locate my camera....
See y'all soon ~

So...here goes.

So this is my first blog. Lately I've been obsessed with reading blogs about crafts, DIY projects, design, interior design, furniture painting, furniture restoration, antiques, rugs, pillows, pillows made out of rugs...you get the gist. So much so that today when I went to the doctor for a physical, I thought, hey those cabinets would do with a coat of paint. And a little distressing. Uh huh.
And then I thought, what better time to start a blog and take on something new, than the week before moving to a new house? What better activity to add to a little packing (or rather A LOT of packing) than writing my very own blog? So here I am. One more activity added to my plate...which by the way...would look really good hung on my new dining room wall, in a neat design...

More later :)
