Here are my 7 random facts

2.I grew up on the East Coast/South so try to visit my family as much as I can. Love the South and will always stick up for it!

3. My family is in a serious phase of watching The Office. We love it and watch a couple of episodes every day.

4. I knit.

5. In highschool I wanted to be a Marine Biologist.

6.I got a college degree in Recreation and Leisure Studies.

7. I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl and I am really trying to change it up!

Wow - moving is horrendous!! It SUCKS!! We have literally been moving since Wednesday and we have about a couple of more days left. We had lived at our old place for 8 years so that is a lot of stuff accumulated plus our garage was packed with Matt's antiques (that he buys and sells) and my grandmother's stuff he had driven back in December. It feels like we are moving 3 households and not one. But I had to take a break from unpacking and post an update!!

But we spent last night in or new place and getting used to living in an apartment again. Not sure how long we will still stay here. But I know the next move won't be as bad as the last!!

My advice again to you all would be - hook up with the fly lady (www.flylady.com) !! I guess that is my new theme for the year. She promotes getting rid of things all the time and I wish I had been doing that a long time before we moved. I think it is too easy to throw something in the garage and think - I'll make a run to Goodwill later and you never do! She does not let you procrastinate and that's a good thing!!

We are packing up this week and gettin' ready for the big move! I am trying to find the good things about it like a fresh start to rearrange and decorate differently. I am hoping I can spluge some after our moving sale this week on some items I have my eye on at Target - like those cute 50's inspired dish towels and kitchen decorations.

I came across this while packing. It cracked me up because originally my son Tyler got one self to store his "treasures". This little guy is a collector and one shelf has grown to one whole side. It made me laugh because I hadn't realized over time how much his collection of shark's teeth, shells, rocks, coins etc has grown. We will have to find a new spot for his treasures at our new place because we are putting this heavy bookcase in storage for now!

We are moving and it is not by choice. Let's just say this last year has been a rough one but details can be saved for private emails. Anyway back to moving. I got back into Flylady at the beginning of the year and one of her deals is decluttering. I can't believe how much STUFF we have accumulated in the last 8 years at this house. It is crazy! So as I am packing I think I am putting just as much stuff in the "to sell" pile. I don't want to move all this stuff and really do I need it all?

My husband does estate sales as part of his income and I think it is always sad to see all that someone has accumulated in their lifetime dispersed among strangers. Really family members keep very few items. So it has made me not really want to hold onto things but I still have boxes of stuff to pack!

On the creative side - I found time to do this layouts for my Feb assignments at Picture Me Perfect!

My new class is up at Picture Me Perfect! Here is just a sample of the pages!

Valentine Crafts!

I'll be posting some of the Valentine crafts I have been doing recently. I did a Valentine Make n Take at Picture Me Perfect last night and it went great. People really enjoyed playng around with the different supplies to make some adorable pins (scroll down on my blog to see pin pictures)!

Here are some Hersey roses I decided to make last week. I actually tied my busines card to them and handed them out at my Lead's meeting this week. It was a hit and people even wanted to order some so I have to get busy! These make great favors too for weddings, showers etc.
