We have walls and a Mess...

Well, the walls are finally going up today!!

I had NO idea how much went into building a room, how many little steps and things you would never think of that are (or aren't behind our walls). Nails, headers, electrical wires, cans.... oh my! I'm reminded of how Home Depot and Lowes quickly become your best friend/worst enemy and how you have to give up things for a while like Washing Machines and space to walk in your drive way.

I'm impressed daily by my Husband and his handiness! And I am thankful daily for my Father in Law who shows up with his tools and a smile to help us in our endeavour! Special thanks also to Corey who got wrangled to help by me and his wife, you're awesome Corey!!

We are truly blessed!

Paper Wreath Project

I've been seeing these paper book wreaths around in craft books and LOVE them, so I thought I would give it a try.

I found a great tutorial at the website, livingwithlindsay.com and made one of my own! I just used an old book that I didn't really enjoy.

I think these would be great gifts for the reader in your life! So different!

DAY 2 OF GARAGE RENOVATION!

Okay the door is in and the framing is going up! The weather has not been kind, yesterday at 80 degrees it started pouring rain on everything we had moved out of the garage and today it's up in the 90's! Adam is powering through like a champ!

Day 1 of Garage Renovation!

So we are on a new journey at our house, the Baby Journey!

Step 1, move our cluttered office out to the garage, which will be turned into a guest room/office space. In turn the cluttered office will be an adorable nursery. Cross your fingers for us.... really cross your fingers for my husband who is doing all the work himself!

Here's the before shot!
