where have I been?

It has been almost 3 months since my last post. Time has flown by.. Where have I been and what have I been doing?

- I have taken in some more internet consignments. Neat stuff- autographed sports memorabilia,advertising pieces ,movie posters and recently French cats.

-Working on Etsy. One of my items was featured on the front page. That one sold and I picked up a few people who marked my store as a favorite. I really like that site. There are so many interesting things to see and ideas to form. I only wish I were more Artsy with my photo sand text. Something to work on.

- The kids were finishing up with school for the year. Along with that is everything little thing that you have to run and get and go to school for. Kayden graduated from K-4. Camden finished up 4th grade. And, we were lucky, we found out that we received financial aid to send them to the same school next year. That was a big relief as we really want our children to get a Christian education.

- Estate and Yard sales. I have been hitting up alot of them lately. Even though I spent a lot of time driving around, I found a few really neat and hopefully money making items. That is what I am here for right? A few items have already made some important money for my family.

- Painted my bedroom ceiling. We had some storm damage and a water leak. It left a spot on our ceiling. I wanted for my hubby to work on it (because he said he wanted to ) and that never happened so I decided to do it myself. This is easier said than done, my ceilings are 12 ft high. I was hoping to just cover with sealer and touch up the spots. Well, that didn't work. I ended up painting the whole thing. I had to strip the walls, move the furniture and cover up the hardwood. After 2 days of priming and painting that was done. Then I got rid of some items and rearranged my bedroom. I have to say- I really like it!

-Just the normal things, playing with the kids, cleaning house and trying to relax. Right now, Kayden is listening to her Chapel cd ,dancing and singing and Camden is playing Nintendo quietly. Life is good right now and I am trying to just keep it that way.
