This and That

Well, I have nothing much to report on exciting things in life. End of October and beginning of November were SUPER busy working with Compassion First for their banquet. Thanks to all who joined us and helped us raise just over $172,000 for our girls in Indonesia. And since I was so busy I have no pictures...

... except for what busy little beaver Steve has been up to with home (well, garage really) renovation.

Here is a little bit of what weekends have looked like around here.


Operation clean up and clean out.

This has been so far the least fun part of re-doing the garage. It was a LONG day but we got rid of lots of unused stuff, donated more and found ourselves some more SPACE!

Here is what things looked like after being cleaned out. Then things started looking worse as Steve is getting into the project. But that is how it always goes right? Things have to get worse before they get better.

All the old particle board came down and new OSB went up.

Here is where we are now in the project. OSB is up, new sub panel is in and conduit is almost all up. I am not doing much to help on this project. Me and garage dust/wood dust just don't get along. But I am excited to see a pretty work space out there and MAYBE get to have some input on how to organize out there. Oh and don't tell Steve I called his workshop pretty.

I have been doing some crafting. This is my latest crafty thing. Maybe in the future I'll post my Thanksgiving table (we are hosting this year) and my kitchen craft I am working on. Pinterest is just a fantastic place for homemade ideas. Love that site. Ok, one last pic of my craft. A new way to organize earrings and I LOVE it!



Hope you all have a happy Turkey day! Gobble gobble. It's my favorite meal of the whole year!!!
