Better Late than Never?

Here's two crafts that have been sitting, one for two years and the other since last Halloween. Sad I know. The blocks I got at last years relief society super saturday, ultra cute but I didn't finish them that day and they sat and sat and sat this whole year. Baili, Kami and I finished them last week and had a lot of fun working together. I think they turned out super cute!
Ive had the vinyl for this board for two years.....I'm surprised it still worked for me. I bought the cull lumber at home depot for 51c and painted the board, sanded the edges and applied the vinyl. Viola...done! I love how it turned out.

I HAVE RETURNED!!!

Gotten my mojo back and I'm excited!
I got released from young women and immediately knew that my motivation had to turn back to my home, not only more time for Sam and the kids but literally time to focus on my house. It needs to be organized and cleaned so badly. That was two weeks ago and Ive really been on a roll. It hasn't been easy, some days I just wanna plonk on my bed and watch whatever I have recorded on T.V. but I know I need to give time to this, its been on the back burner for too long. I found out about a new website that has been so helpful and super motivational for me. It's called PINTEREST and I LOVE it. Mandy was the one that told me about it and shes been having a great time also with it.
It has everything you could possibly want information or ideas about. What Ive mostly been using it for is DIY and organizing tips and ideas. I love the home decor section. It has recipes, health and fitness, photography, EVERYTHING!!!!
So its Halloween time and we love Halloween here at our house. The kids started decorating at the end of September when we were in Cancun. Baili did a really good job creating a huge spider web in the good room. Every year we add to our decorations so our house it getting quite spooky! We love it.
The community we live in had a community garage sale last weekend....just in time for me to dejunk and make some money. We sold a lot of little stuff, we didn't really have anything large, no furniture, but we made $150.....not too shabby? I love the feeling of getting rid of stuff, especially the stuff we really don't use. I also completely reorganized the computer/desk area by selling some furniture from the playroom and buying a desk/hutch for upstairs. This is now the printing area. it's so neat and organized and takes up less space. I love it. I replaced the knobs on the desk to update it and it looks great! We finally have an area that is working for the kids with storage for extra paper and homework supplies.
So this week I have plans to switch the kids clothes from summer to winter - big, fat, ucky job! Ive also been working on our pool because it has totally been neglected. The algae is yellow and nasty...eeew! Hopefully I can get it decent looking by the time Sam's parents come for the month of November. I have to remember this will take time but slow and steady wins the race.
