Christmas At the House

This is my FAVORITE holiday.  I have been "collecting" items for Christmas all year long. Putting it all away made me feel like I didn't have too much, so that's always good.  I didn't realize until making this post that I never took a picture of our tree--sad face.

The presents are actually empty; I just liked the bags

3 Weeks of Ownership

Where have I been lately, you ask? Mostly Lowes, Menards, and antique stores. Oh, and at the house working. Performing the updates and changes for a 40-year-old house seems right up my alley...until it takes forrrrrrevvvvvvverrr!

The items that we decided to tackle first:

Packing Up My Life

So far, as I go through all of my belongings, I'm trying to get rid of as much as possible and get it to Good Will before I hold on to it forevaaaaa!--cue Dracula voice. Anyone who has seen my current room knows that all of this is going to be an awfully big task. So, organization is key here, and I am very good at organizing, note drawer of t-shirts...

We're Getting a House!

I'm so excited!! Cole and I are purchasing a house!! I'm doing my best to not buy too much before we move our already existing furniture in there. But I stopped by a flea market and antique store on my way home this weekend. And a consignment shop...I'm really setting myself up for success with all those stops. But I've found some great deals on objects that I can fix up. Stay tuned for DIY projects!
