Where we stand

At some point during this fiasco I'm going to hit a place where I feel calm and at peace with what's happening. This weekend was a step in the right direction. I spent most of the day Saturday packing up some things that we will not have a use for with in the next 77 days and really in the next few months while we wait out our next home in life.

Friday we met with JJ; the broker who is working on our transition. We entered our offer ($ amount) to move out by December 1st. We're hoping that the bank will come back with a counteroffer soon so that we can move forward with making solid plans.

As of now? We're in limbo (as per usual). We are waiting to hear back from the bank so we know for sure if December 1st is "The" date to have all of our stuff in storage or not.

In the meantime... if anyone has any boxes or news papers laying around that I can take off your hands, please let me know I'd be happy to swing by and get them (so long as you're in Western Washington).

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
