Other Projects and Acknowedgements

I want to apologize for not having any crafting for a while. We are in the very long process of redoing a bedroom for my son, Jason. First, he had to go through about 20 some years of stuff and empty the room. That in itself, took way too much time. However, with work schedules and other projects like rebuilding a play area and building the new garden...what are you going to do? Then, I patched the holes and nicks, sanded and wiped everything down on Saturday. Sunday was Mother's Day and well, I was invited out for the day. Yesterday, we ripped the rug out of the room. So today is painting day (ceiling, walls and trim)...rug is scheduled to come on Thursday.  Of course, then it's the process of getting everything back into the room.( I am not looking forward to that! Way too much stuff! lol) And guess what, right after that is done, we get to move two more rooms around. My other two sons are trading bedrooms...at least I don't have to get rugs for either of those. I'm hoping that these projects will be completely finished by the end of the month. Oh, guess I have to open the pool sometime soon too. It's always something...isn't it?

However, with all of this, I do want to acknowledge a few things and say "Thanks". First, I just found out that via Randon.org I was the winner for the Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge last week at More Than Favors. I now qualify for the drawing at the end of the month for a cartridge. (Yea!). Secondly, I received notice that I was chosen to receive a three month membership for the Cricut Circle from Susan at Busy with the Cricky. (Woo Hoo). I can't wait to try it. And last, but not least, I received an award from Crystal at Little Creations. Thank you so much.
