Updates...

Slowly--very slowly--I've been working on my little planner. I managed to get the cover done a few weeks ago and then started on the inside...

First I painted the divider pages and then they sat on the table....awaiting inspiration. I knew what each section would be I just didn't have the creative inspiration to execute. And then last night I sat down to work... Section One: Happy Heart The thought is that in this section I can accumulate things and make notes on things wedding related. Truly a scrapbook of a hodge podge of things.

Section Two: Happy Home Here I can begin planning for our home--decorating ideas, things I would like to have, ideas on how to arrange things.

Section Three: Happy Life Happy Life can be anything and everything from recipes to try to party planning. Basically this section will be a catch all. Since the book is a binder I can move things around as needed.

While things might not have been as productive as they should have been or what I'd actually might have liked (no on to blame there but me), the weekend did include a few accomplishments. I'm learning the joys of buying a home and am riding the real estate roller coaster. I can hardly believe how quickly I found the perfect house. Two days of back and forth resulted in an accepted offer and then two more days for the owner to get the contract back to the realtor. Option and earnest money have been paid. The inspection is scheduled and the paperwork is ready to go for financing. Hopefully in a month I'll be able to close on our new home. Fingers crossed!

Current Events

Last weekend I got in a little creative time thanks to Joey. I created this little banner at her weekend workshop. Though a bit difficult to see, it's my soon-to-be new last night. I thought this would be cute for my scrap room.

THIS weekend I celebrated Cinco De Mayo with the BFF's family and friends. As usual, lots of good food and great company.

The highlight of the weekend however has to be this little jewel. I have somewhat quietly been doing a little house hunting. I've viewed a few, found one I could live with but found it had been scooped up--and took that as a sign it was not meant to be. Then I found this.....I took a little tour on Saturday morning and now seriously pursuing making it mine (ours). So fingers crossed! All thoughts, prayers and good wishes are welcome.....help me make this mine!
