MISSING IN ACTION????

YUP! I'll say! I have missed blogging so much! It is almost time for the return! I have a booth at a local scrapbooking event in August and I can hardly wait! Needless to say the last couple of months have been busy! Starting back to work after being home with my baby for 3 years was quite a transition for our family! Will is doing great in school - now on his Summer break! So sweet! Church has also been super busy and we've bought and moved into a fixer upper! Whew- yep ALL at once.. and oh - did I mention Will started teeball during all this! hahaha! Anyway here is a peak and what has kept me occupied! This is our dining room. {Our almost finished dining room!- please pay no attention to the bare outlets and bare china cabinet and bare walls!- big ideas for all of those!) These are before and after shots of different angles! BEFORE! AFTER! LOL awesome how much floor and paint can make a difference huh!?!!?
BEFORE!
AFTER! Trim work, light fixture, and a few details!
Front window has so much potential. BEFORE! AFTER! I almost didn't put these curtains up b/c we have beautiful white wood blinds going up asap- but I wanted to take these photos and we don't have brackets for the blind yet! LOL We'll see which I like best. its a Bay window and is so pretty I hate to cover it up..
We struggled a lot with this room b/c of this awesome DARK wood mantel and ALL of our previous dining room furniture is this light color?? I think it work okay! BEFORE!
AFTER! We also have a piano this dark wood color we are going to put on the wall closest to this mantel! I think it will all blend well.!
Oh and this light is for "High Heels & Sippy Cups!" Do I win? lol
So there you have it- where I've been! LOL Working 9-5, doing the ball field thing, and fixing up a house! YIKES! If my diamond shoes get to tight and I start to complain about time- someone just remind me how great LIFE as we know it truly is! Hope you all are still scrapping - stay tuned as I launch back into blogging soon!
