A New Adventure

I know it's been awhile since I last posted and life frankly has gotten quite busy. I have spent the holidays visiting my mother multiple times, participated in an art walk selling my Alien Kaboodle merchandise, spent a lot of times with grand kids visiting Christmas lights, decorating gingerbread houses and of course shopping and entertaining.

Now that I would hope for life to settle back down into a normal routine I have found myself on a new journey. We have decided to sell our home and relocate to another state. During this year we will be building a home on my husbands childhood homestead. We decided to demolish a home that was built in the early 1900s and was in a sadden state of affairs. This we did last year in the summer. We had intentions of retiring and building the home but I think we both thought it would be another year later.

So as crazy as life has been it's about to get a whole lot crazier. I am going to document our journey on this blog so family and friends can see how things are progressing.

I do intend to keep up my sewing shop and after talking to a friend I am going to make some kits so I can still do some scrapping. In fact that is one the saddest and scariest parts of the move is packing up my art room. And when I can post cards and layouts I will.

I have begun packing my belongings that I do not need to see for awhile, rented a storage unit and filled that about 1/3 full. Going up this weekend to see about renting a house so I can begin to move furniture and what not so the realtors can stage the home (more on that later).

I don't want this to be an overly long post so going to leave you with a photo of the house plan we purchased. Our home won't look exactly like this but it'll be close to it.
