Lindsay Got Her Groove Back...

I am FINALLY getting settled in the house for the most part. I still have boxes that need unpacked, files to go through and things scattered about, but overall we are pretty much set. All of the Christmas decorations have been stored away in the attic until next year, and my boxes seem to be diminishing out of the garage. I am going to have to have a major garage sale in the spring to get rid of the "clutter" I have accumulated over the years. I mean, what else can I do with 500 beanie babies?? (To me, it seems more like 5 "million" lol). I have found knick knacks from Europe, wedding momentos, and old decor, as well as teddy bears from old flames, picture frames, candle holders, and the usual thing that a teenage girl acquires. My answer--garage sale, then GOODWILL.

I am also finished with the house projects too. The only thing left is the bathroom and re-tiling the floor. Luckily the carpet guys I used gave me a box of black tile, so I just need to get one more and two boxes of white for the checkers. I think the lady that we are using at work for our big flood project is going to help me out too once I let her know how much I need. She does massive projects for the hospitals, so she said she has a lot of afterstock. Hopefully she will have enough remnants that I can finish the floor in the bathroom, vanity and closet and I should be done with the remodel. Then I can focus on putting things on the walls and getting my computer/craft room in order to use!

I did have a chance the other night when I had a case of insomnia to work a little on my scrapbook. I didn't do anything new, but added some detail to some pages that I had left unfinished. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed doing that. I really miss "crafting" and being creative. Hopefully I can find some time in the near future to get back into the groove of things and start creating! I am still so far behind on my scrapbooks it is overwhelming. I have seriously thought about hosting another 12x12 Layout Contest for Zoie's book. I've been going through some of my scrapbook embellishments and I really think I would be able to come up with a great prize package. Let me know if you'd be interested in participating.

I hope everyone is having a great year so far!

Lots of Love,
