It's Mine!!

 
I closed on my new home on Tuesday and am so excited to start working on it.  I do not plan on actually moving until after the first of the year because I am going to do a lot of remodeling and after the summer remodeling in my old home, I would really like to get most of it done before I move in.
 
I am so thrilled and blessed to have this home and be able for Tiffany and the girls to have my present home.  It's working out so well for all of us.  God is really good and has so blessed me this last year even tho it has been a rough year.
 
I am looking forward to sharing my adventure with you all.  If you don't hear from me, you will know where I am.
 
I have found so many fantastic Estate sale finds the last month to go into the new home.  I bought two vintage pieces to use as vanities in the bathrooms and they were delivered today and I LOVE them.  I bought them sight unseen on Craig's List.  And no, I did not go look at them by myself.  LOL  Tiffany has threatened me.
 
I'm starting out with painting in every room.  The lovely elderly couple who lived here have pink and aqua all thru the house - every room.  So, there's going to be a painting party soon.
 
Enjoy!

    I think this home has great bones! So much potential here and I know when you put your personal touches on it the house will be adorable! I truly believe this has all worked out for the best for you and Tiff and the babies. I also believe that God is looking out for you and your family and that John is looking down at you with great pride.

    Congratulations on your New Home! As a New Homeowner ourselves I know how Exciting this Change can be! It had been many years since we'd pulled up roots and bought a New Home, I had Forgotten how much Work was involved, but the Joy, Blessings and benefits of a Fresh New Start somewhere Special is such a Rush, isn't it?!!!! It will be bittersweet for us saying a Forever Good-Bye to our Old Historic Homestead soon, but we are thoroughly Enjoying our New Dream Home and where this Journey has taken us! And Celebrating the Holidays in a New Home, well, it's so Memorable!... Happy Thanksgiving from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian

    Praise for Led Christmas Tree
    I ordered a Led Christmas Tree from bizarkdeal.com. This tree has me excited for the winter holidays. Right now, we have it in our living room. It will make a great addition to the outdoors when winter comes, though. According to my husband (who couldn't wait for me to get home from work before he set it up), it was easy to put together and the LED lights are "the real deal" - he's a light expert, apparently (wink). The kids keep going in the room and ooo'ing and ahh'ing at the tree, too. The tree did come with a set of snowflakes. I am not sure if it's because it's just the start of fall, but I wasn't exactly in love with the way they hung on the tree. The lights on the snowflakes are a different brilliancy than the tree itself, so they sort of stood out. Maybe outside I'll get it? Also, because we haven't had it outside yet / for the winter, I do want to note that the cord is thinner and less rugged than I'd expect for an outdoor tree. We will have to test it later this year and see how that goes. All in all, a great decoration for your home. (Note - I was provided this tree for review; all opinions are 100% my own.)
