An Era is Coming to an End....

An Era is Coming to an End....

... or at least it is remaining on break!  I haven't scrapbooked, I mean really scrapbooked in years.  I have done digital stuff, but no real scrapbooking.  I guess when things aren't what you picture they should be, it is hard to scrapbook them (or even take the pictures for that matter).

Well, I am moving into Mom's house and will not have room for my big scrapbook stuff.  I am selling them on Craigs List, well I posted them any way.  I can't bare to part with any of my supplies though, maybe one day I will use them.  By that time my glue may be dry and my adhesive may not work, but at least I will have all my fun embellishments!!  Until then, all my stuff will remained packed up and stored!

EMILY

She just can't get it red enough!

My Boy

Shaved head!

I haven't seen him with so little hair
since he was a little boy!

Share

I want to share my life with him; all, not just part of it.

No Title Needed

Where did it all go wrong...... I wish I knew and could go back and relive it.....

Hangin' in the kitchen.....

The "Non-Traveling" Flip Flops

My flip flops are identical to Jenny's Traveling Flip Flops.

Only difference is that mine won't be photographed

regularly as they tour the world.... 

They will just be on my feet!

If you don't know what I am talking about,

you need to see Jenny's Face Book album

"Got Flip flops | Will Travel". 

I love watching where her flip flops go all summer long!

Helper Bee

We painted my room and bathroom - a very big project!!!

My "Helper Bee" Greg
Painting Day!



My Bathroom - just started!

Wallpaper is coming down!!!!

I got the quote today.... Only $200.00 to remove all the wallpaper.  Ads a few more days on to the project, but it is giving my hand a chance to rest..... It really hurts!

Colors for my room and bathroom.

Still Resting!!!!!

It will all come together

1.  The blinds are ordered!!!!!

2.  I started packing at my house!

First box packed by me!  Em packed some last week,
but this is my first one!

3.  My hand is killing me - but I found a brace in the bathroom that I did not know I had, what a blessing!

My hurting wrist!  Working too hard!

4.  Tomorrow a painter is coming to take a look at the wallpaper and give me a quote on how much removal would cost (($$$$ a lot I'm sure...... We will see))

5.  Garage Sale will be NEXT weekend (the 28th)

Still got lots of work to do, but it will all come together! 

Work in Progress

Today I painted the trim in my bathroom and some of the trim in my bedroom.  I didn't get as much done as I planned, but I am getting TIRED!! 

My wrist has been sore for a week, then yesterday my elbow started up, and tonight it's my shoulder too!  I am taking tomorrow OFF!!

Work in Progress.

A Smile

Today I cleaned and prepped my new room for paint. Doesn't sound like a lot, but, it was.... I am sore and tired. Tomorrow the painting of my room starts! After I was done I had to go to Lowe's to return some blinds that I will not be using. 

Anyway.....when I left, I saw this flower and it mad me smile!!!!



Flowers are those little colorful beacons of the sun
from which we get sunshine when dark,
somber skies blanket our thoughts.

Exciting Day!

Cleaned the bathroom, got a new toilet seat, some paint and liquid nails! 

Exciting Day!

The Home Depot!

Plenty of time for plenty of work!

No pictures today......

Started prepping my room and bathroom for paint..... Didn't do a lot, more tomorrow.

My right wrist is very sore from painting.  It needed a rest anyway.  Plenty of time for plenty of work!

My closet

My closet is WHITE!

What will I tackle next........

Progress

Just a little progress today, but little is better than none!  I got my new closet ready to be painted.  Its all cleaned, vacuumed, dusted, and wiped down!  Tomorrow will be paint day!

Blinds......

This is what we will be getting (I think)
But we will be going with white.... (I think)

So, I have been online pricing blinds for the windows at Mom's house.  I think I am going to go with "Just Blinds".  They look good and I like the price.  I got same samples being sent to Mom's house so we ca pick the colors..... the big question now is holes or no holes!!!

Holes or no holes???

Easter Sunday

No work today, Celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ with my Family!

Emily's Room is Painted - Blue Baloon

Greg and I got Emily's room done today!!!!  It's all coming together!

Garrett's Room is Painted

Before

After

More work.....

What did we do today to help the move along.........

Got some boxes!

Got some more paint!

Saw this crazy stuff at Walmart
when we were returning paint!!!

Trim.....

Today I painted ALL the trim in both Emily and Garrett's new rooms, and the inside of Garrett's closet.  I started at 7:00 AM and finished around 5:15 PM (Long Day)!  Next comes the colors.........
I took some "BEFORE" pics today.  I didn't do any after because it doesn't look much different, the trim is just a little brighter.  I'm excited to get the colors on the walls and start moving in!

Garrett's Room - Before
This used to bu Kenny's room,
then my room, then Dad's weight room.
Garrett will like it - and yes,
the weight machine is staying!

Emily's Room - Before
This was "The Girls" Room - that means Me and Jenny.
After Kenny went to the Air Force,
I moved into his room and this was all Jenny's.
Then it became Mom's Antique guest Room.
I think Emily will enjoy this room.....
What teenage girl wouldn't want two walk-in closets?

Break Time

So, today I helped mom organize some of her stuff downstairs.  We want to look good for Easter Sunday.  The bunnies are out on the table and the downstairs is looking spiffy!!!
The best part of helping mom is spending "break time" together on the back porch!  I love you mom!

Break Time

New Specs

Emily's new glasses - we picked them up today!

Thank You Dad!

"Do the Right Thing, and You Know What the Right Thing is."
-Ken Sheaffer (My Dad) 

Thank you dad.  I recently had to make a very hard decision.  I keep these words close to my heart, they really came in handy this time!  It was a hard thing to do, but I know I did the right thing for my family!  XOXO Miss you Dad.  Thank you for watching out for me!

Grandma's Room

More was accomplished today!  Grandma's furniture is now in her newly painted room!  She is getting settled.  We also got Emily and Garrett's new rooms all ready to paint.  Two days off - tomorrow and Tuesday for doctor's appointments, then Wednesday I will start painting the kids rooms..... of course I will have some before and after pics.  I should have taken pictures before we cleaned out the rooms... Oh well, I am not going to put all that stuff back!!!

Grandma's Room - It is hard to tell, but it is a pale green.
