More house pics

Another update on the house- this is the pics of the addition.



This was before and then some trees came down,



Then the framing



Walls roof and windows went in.


Inside with the insulation. We lived in a bit like this and over last winter did the floor, ceiling and trim.




All that's left now is around the fireplace and that room is done!

Tomorrow I will show you what we did with the rest of the house.

Day 7!

The last one! It looked and felt like a magazine.


And it was! YAy! I haven't seen this one before either. So cool!




And these are my 7 packages before I sent them - now on their way to Australia! She didnt really like vintage and she likes pink so I packaged them this way.



Have a good weekend! I have to go pack now for a weekend away with my girl!

Happy Halloween!

Well the day is here! There is a blog party goin on and welcome! To join the party go to ghoulsjustwannahavefun.blogspot.com.

My halloween post is about some chocolates Sarah and I made. Different colors made up some sticks and ghouly figures!




These are the sticks Sarah did with painted chocolate faces.



These are mine with painted chocolate colors. Very time consuming but they turned out neat!




I took one figure and 2 sticks and made up some halloween bags for our friends. Each tag was stamped with a spooky image and their names written on them and tied with some orange halloween ribbon.


For those of you following my gifts, it is day 6! For those who dont have a clue what I am talking about see my previous posts to see my other gifts.

I wasn't sure what this was?



Nice! Pretty green earrings in a silver star bag.



Last day tomorrow - this was fun!

Have a good halloween everyone!!

Day 5

I just got home awhile ago - today was my first day alone at the library!(It's a small library)It went great - I love it! Books and getting paid for it? Is that not perfect for me?

Something else that is perfect for me are these presents! I love everything. Today was a flat pack.



I opened it to a bunch of scrapbooking supplies - great! Stickers, cardstock and a booklet with ideas. Do you see the MOOSE? I'm always looking for moose stickers and never see them. Also pine cones and trees? Did I say perfect?



Off to look at my books - fringe benefits!

Day 4 and a spooooky party!

I thought this one was some kind of metal cause I could hear it moving.




It was a case full of goodies!Sequins, ribbon, feathers and embellishments.



I also heard about a party yesterday! It's for ghouls and gals for Halloween posts.

The details are here

See ya there!

Day 3

This was heavy and felt like paper so I thought it was a magazine. I was right! But look what one!!



EEK! I love it! She couldn't have picked a better one for me. 450+ mixed media and papercrafting projects!




YAY! Guess what I'm doing this weekend? AND with the new Victoria I got in the mail too. *doing Happy dance*

I'll be back on Monday with number 4. We are getting a new to us table and chairs tonight. It was Sean's Grandma's and it is a solid wood table that is square and has leaves to pull out too. Perfect size for my kitchen/dining room/craft room/computer room/.... ya get the idea - the house is pretty small!

Have a good weekend.

Day 2

2nd present - I guessed it to be a small photo album



But it wasn't! It is so cool. I think it is all handmade. It opens up to...



This is what it says on one end. Then there a lots of pretty stamped envelopes and these are all attached!




Inside the envelopes are different bath salts and herbs to put in the bath.


They smell so pretty. Can I go have a bath now?

7 days of fun

I got a swap today that is 7 surprises for 7 days. They are 7 little gifts marked for a day at a time. Aren't they packaged pretty? Love the old papers and handmade tags.



So for the first day was this...



Yes, it might look full but it is not. I had to sample.

So now I have to wait! Killer. I am going to post each item on here too, so you can see each day too.

What a cat!

Look at this cat...




Crazy! yes that is our ROOF. This is a stray cat that we feed, but he is too skittish to stay inside. Sarah saw him on a lower roof and then he just walked up the SLOPE like it was nothin. He then laid down and gave me the look and then made himself at home.

We had heard things on the roof before, but we thought it was racoons or squirrels - not the CAT.

How does he get down and up? Not a clue - we have no places he can jump up on. I guess he climbed the tree!lol

Monday monday...

This weekend we went down to my moms and her and I went shopping. She is redoing her house so we went to Home Depot and looked. We picked out colors for the floor and flooring, doors and lighting. And of course paint colors. So I HAD to get the paint chips everyone is talking about. These are huge! Love them. Great base for some art.



Last week I also got my order of moo cards. Love these! I did 50 of my own photos and got 2 of each. Great quality and fast service. Aren't they cute?




I got some funky shoes too, but I think I am gonna alter them and then I will show you!
