Autumn Love

I love fall, the amazing colors, the smells, the sounds! Fall also means our anniversary, my birthday and my mom's birthday. Not to mention a few of my favorite people celebrate there birthdays in the fall as well. This Saturday we went and took some fall photos, that is until my batteries dies in BOTH cameras! Seriously! Errg! We got a few good ones though, these two and the one in my sidebar are my favorite.

This is my next class at Treasured Memories- Saturday, October 16 from 10am-2pm. I LOVE this book and the pictures here just don't do it justice, there are pages that flip open and up, embossing and inking- it really is yummy! Here are the details but if you're in the store check it out to see all the different layers and textures.

house tour and finished projects

As promised, here is a peak into our new place and a look at my DIYs. We'll start with a little sneak into the baby's room. It isn't finished but the big stuff is in. When it is done I'll post more pics of just this room.

Hallway, the table at the end of the hall is below. You can see the before & after.

I made this pillow cover and also spray painted an old chair I found at the Antique Mall. I LOVE this bright yellow!

As you can see I have been busy. I have a few things left to do as far as projects go but mainly I am focusing on my work and getting ready for all my Christmas classes before the baby joins us. Thanks for taking the house tour with me! I'll leave you with my 8th month photo! Almost there.

Hello! I've missed you! We are all moved in, trying to finish unpacking, trying to make a home. We have been here for just over a week and have finally made it into the basement to start unpacking a setting up my work space and Cory's "fun" space. I have to recommend if you can at all avoid it- don't move when you're 8 months pregnant. I am seriously exhausted and to top it off I have a nasty cold that  has taken me for quite a ride. I have been eating garlic cloves and drinking orange juice like crazy! They just don't have the same effect that my dear friend Advil Cold & Sinus would if I was allowed to take them. I  have also developed pregnancy related Carpel Tunnel Syndrome in both my hands/wrists- I am seriously a joy to be around. Ha Ha Ha. My OB says it should go away 2 weeks-ish after I have the baby.
On a happy, fun note we set up the baby's room and that was wonderful! (other than the crib set up which seriously almost caused a divorce) I have a few things to add but otherwise it's ready to go. I keep going in there, sitting in my chair and daydreaming about my little one. So great.

My space in it's first stages. I can't wait to finish and get back to work.

Need a little alone time? Go to Starbucks!
I LOVE this time of year! I have been indulging in one of these lovelies almost everyday since they came out last Tuesday. Yum Yum!

Have a great week friends and I'll be back soon with pictures of the projects I finished before we moved!
night night!

KC... this one is for you

Sometimes Cory does his hair like Wolverine for me because it makes me giggle, this morning he did it for KC, a little tribute to her awesomeness! I will also point out that he never adds in the butter knifes for added effect for me! Must really appreciate his treats!

buried under boxes

I'm done! 23 boxes, 3 Rubbermaid containers, 3 stacked drawer towers! I'm not too sure how I managed to fit all that stuff into one room? Today's project- the closets.... and let me tell you friends it ain't pretty! One week to go so I'm taking a blogging break until the move is done... take care!
ciao
