I think I want 4. I’d order it but this isn’t available for online purchase.

I’m also looking at that… the 26 drawers. I want them for all my alphas but then I thought that they’d be great for stamps, primas, etc., ….. actually, just writing all that out made me want the Ikea containers more. Maybe 5 now.

I get the room with the big tank in it! We are in the process of taking that big tank out right now. Steve called and even if we did want to continue with solar heat, which we will probably want to utilize a little bit, nowadays they use an 80 gallon tank. This big tank is 800 gallons. Um. Don’t need it. So a friend who has 5 acres down the road and no irrigation wants to take that big ‘ole tank and bury it in his yard, to use as a holding tank for water. Fine by us! Anyway…. The room is 13x14. Oh. Yah. And I’m going to put a big island in it so that I can stand to scrap, and also a desk so I can sit to scrap. It’s going to be big enough to invite people over! Even clients if I want to… and they won’t be going through my whole house to get there. They will come in through the exterior door downstairs… the mudroom. We are also in the process of taking out that garage door and putting a window in it’s place. All of this needs to be done before we can carpet the rest. Yes. Another setback to living downstairs, but I’m actually seeing progress and Steve has been rejuvenated in our remodel needs. It’s all good!



Let's see.... we finally got the keys for the house in Prineville. There were some things that needed fixed before we could go through with the whole purchase which is why it has taken so long. After Steve gets home from elk season the guys are going to go over and fix a few things, and then we'll throw it back on the market. Easy peasy! And no, I don't have any pictures. I haven't even seen it yet. I don't think Steve has either.



We also got renters in our other house. There was a small snafu and the guy who was going to rent the place backed out at the last possible moment, so it took a couple of weeks to get it back in the papers and applications processed, etc. But the renters that are in it now have plans to stay for a year, which is fine.



Mmmmm.... I've been busy scrapping. I have a really cute 6x12 album class on the 23rd, so I have been busy finishing that up to take to the store to show as an example. I'm also going to work on a class for December. I think I'm going to list this album class again in November because I do think it's a great idea. The theme revolves around this quote:


It's not houses I love, it's the life I live in them. - Coco Chanel


Very cool. Perfect for me. I always complain about how ugly this house is, but it really has given me a lot of great memories, and in the end, it is my dream house. So I need to appreciate what it has allowed me to experience. .... you know, the parties we've held here, Payton was born here, learned to walk, had her first birthday, Steve became a true cowboy because of this house, etc. etc. Very cool.


And finally, after almost 4 years I've started taking better care of myself again. I went to a salon yesterday and had my hair cut and a partial weave. Felt so good! Since Morgan was born, I've just raced to Great Clips and done that route. Crazy, because before she was born I was religiously headed to my salon every 8 weeks. My hair stylist actually came to the hospital to meet Morgan! So it's nice to get back into that groove.


I'll leave you with a picture of Morgan and Payton. She threw her comforter over the computer so I asked her if she was making a fort:

M: No, it's not a fort. It's a club.
Me: It's is? What's the name of your club?
M: Country.
Me: It's the Country Club?
M: Yes.

Silly girls.
