as promised, i wanted to give you a little sneak peak at our new house. im having a hard time finding the right place for things and getting settled in because im not accustomed to all this space lol! so its going to be a while before its going to be really "us", but we've got some GREAT ideas.
here's my new lovely desk courtesy of my mom in law. my office has all wood paneled walls which i love. and the cutest old long windows that you have to turn a crank to open. i guess technically this room was designed to be a dining room or den because it has a built in buffet which is homing my books and nate's star wars memorabilia nicely lol.
and the view from my kitchen sink. my owl salt shakers have a home!
also, when we moved in this old school video game was in the house! we thought it was broken but nate figured out how to fix it and now it works! it so much fun! plus it also serves as a table when not in use!
my lovely pink sideboard with our first coat of blue paint for the kitchen.
well thats all for now. im ready to have this place finished! ta ta folks.
we had a long and eventful weekend. unfortunately we had a death on my husbands side of the family so we spent saturday night/sunday morning out at my husband's grandparents for a memorial get together and bonfire. there was a great turn out and the memorial service was beautiful with acoustic music and lots of good stories. We will miss you James!
Saturday evening was a great night around the bonfire with close family and friends and it was exactly what James would have wanted. I met a few neat people and conrad had a blast with all the other kiddos.
Sunday we spent the afternoon at the pumpkin patch down the street going on hay rides and letting the kiddos play on the hay bales and in the bounce houses. conrad was a bit of chicken about the bounce houses though. lol im so excited that its fall! its been so lovely! all the colors are exciting!
i married into the greatest families! I have the greatest inlaws and nieces and nephews! Most of these pictures were taken by my sister in law Regina so thanks to her for letting me steal them for a bit!
in digging around trying to find cute new ideas for conrad's room i came across something. i just HAD to share this tutorial from danielle thompson over at thompson family-life. As soon as I get my materials together I'll definitely be doing this.
Another little jewel I found this past week over at Ohdeeoh.com. You might remember my first attempt at stamp making (outside of high school art) a while back. needless to say it was a pain in the butt, so this find was exciting for me as i do not want to carve linoleum again for a while!
Meet stamp making with molding clay!
I am SO SO excited to try this. it sounds like so much fun and would be super easy for kids to use.

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!
call me weird, but after watching the new star trek movie i think i have developed a little crush on the new Spock. haha. i guess im just quite a nerd. so my friday favorites person this week is going to be Zachary Quinto as Spock.
Sometime this weekend I plan on giving you a sneak peak at the new casa de curling. im excited. we've (well nate) have been painting the kitchen and picking out colors for the other rooms. its going to be a bright home, to say the least, but hey thats us. =) ta ta til then folks. hope you all have a lovely and safe weekend.
