We Started!

This was the scene from 3 days ago...cool, huh?

It's Monday!

Ok, so I think I should get rid of my ArtFire account. There has been no sales there in the last 4+ months.

On that note, my Monday Special will be from Etsy this week! I'm giving 20% off ONE card. You can buy as many as you want, and then I will refund you 20% off the most expensive card you buy. (Most of my cards are at $2.50 though!) This will run through May 9. It will go along with the "free shipping if you buy 2 cards" that I already have going on for the Mother's Day promotion.

Just type in 20%Blog in the "Message to Seller."

Now for a little Parade of homes fun! I went to quite a few houses on Saturday to get some fun ideas for my new house. Check this out...a 2 story closet! Wouldn't that be living the high life! (I'm standing in the upstairs part of this closet.)

This same house had a dome ceiling in the kitchen...it was a gorgeous house, just something I would never live in!

I am in the midst of thinking of what colors I would like to have in my new house. I am a color person...love it! However, just recently I have discovered that I also like little "pops" of color. For example, the walls painted white and then the accents in the room bright. Like the photo below, isn't it cool?!

I have a lot of decisions to make! Looking forward to most of it...all but flooring. I don't like that part!

My house

I am in the middle of tearing my house apart for my garage sale that I am having. We are going to be moving this fall, and after 16 years, it is time to get rid of stuff! I have a lot of things that I have saved over the years from my walls that I know I will never put up in my new house!

In the past I have been to many estate auctions because I was in love with old things! Loved them! I still do to a point, but my tastes have changed somewhat. I will miss my old "hook" that I have in my bathroom to hang my hand towel on, but it's staying with the house.

Yesterday I videotaped my house (well, at least the clean rooms ;) so that I will always remember how it looked. I also did it for my younger kids because they probably will not even remember living here!

The starting date for the new house is drawing closer, and I am getting very excited about it!
