"Untitled" -- Spring Bay Studio 2008

Worked this piece out the other day while waiting for some phone calls about the house...our real estate agent here was going to call with the info on the repairs we need here, and it seemed like it took him ForEVAH to call me back..most of the pieces within this collage were done a couple dayz ahead of time, so it was just putting them together that was done later...very fun to do and I just love the colors of some of my papers...


I mentioned not long ago that I'd re-discovered some of the papers on this collage...I'd been so super good at putting things away, so that the room would be neat and clean when the realtors showed the house...well, I get this THING about putting files into other boxes and other boxes into other boxes....that once they are all put together, I have no earthly idea where they all have gone, let alone what the #%"# is inside of each box...


Opening each of the storage boxes is a little like christmas morning...you never know what'll be inside the clever little box until you open it up! And these papers seemed to just go together much better than I thot they would...sometimes little suprises are the best...


>> Good News!! >>>


We have been given the go ahead to start moving some of our things into the new cabin!! How cool is THAT??!! I almost started crying the other day when our realtor down in Carolina gave me the news...she said that the sellers don't have a problem with us getting some of our things down there since we have to be outta here on the same day that Our Buyers are supposed to be moving in HERE...Acckk...this all getz so confusing that my brain just starts to short out and not want to work AT ALL >> But we've gone ahead and made a reservation to get a moving truck for two dayz ahead of time, so we'll be able to get stuff out in time for our buyers to get here...

And other good news is that the repairs on this house have already started!! And on tuesday we get the new roof on!! YAA! The roofer came by the other day and said he can get it up on our house in about one day, and the second day will be mostly the last of the clean up --- and getting any of those NAHHHSTIEEE roofing nails outta the yard -- sometimes you can find those things for Months after a roof goes on...we had to replace a Lot of roofs when we lived further south...Hurricanes had this THANG about peeling off every roof we ever had put on...that poor little house, it just seemed to get hit every year with a storm...

And the other news is that The Husband is getting a quarterly bonus!! He waz thinking he wouldn't get one, but he was wrong on it...so we're gonna put the bonus toward some of the new appliances that we need to get for the new place...washer and dryer probably...the buyers of our house don't want the pair we have here, and they are kinda old...so they'll go out on the curb for the recycle truck, and we'll get a new pair in N.C. -- The fun (not really...) thing now is to go price appliances...and I hate all the pricing that I have to try and write down and REMEMBER to put down the model of washer or dryer...thank heavens I can get the work done on the computer an' n0t have to go store to store and wear myself out...an' have sore feet...and a VERY grumpy husband at the same time...oh my stars, he HATES to go shopping for jus' about ANYTHING -- 'cept food...

Lady of The Tulips -- who has to start that blasted last house check-up...we have an apraiser coming over tomorrow, so I have to go shine and polish EveryTHANG in the house...you never know what one of those guyz will say if there is a speck of dust somewhere....ugghh...
