Stacks, House and New Pets

My husband hates it, but it's part of who I am . . . I'm a stacker. I have to leave little piles of things everywhere so I remember to deal with them, or as a clue to remember to do something. Drives Kevin crazy. Heh, heh, heh! BUT! I NEVER used to stack my layouts. Sadly, I started doing it and slowly this is what it built up to. Over the last few weeks I've been organizing and getting these into books. 4 albums later, and I am almost there. Just need to go buy me another binder and some more page protectors. :)



I haven't posted about the house for awhile, so I thought I'd show you some pictures. Here's the front door all finished and installed. I'm really happy with the way it turned out!

The outside hasn't changed much, but then it has! The rockwork is FINALLY finished. I'm going to miss Chris the rock guy! LOL! He's been there for six months and has almost become a part of the house! ;) I'll have to show you more detailed of the rockin' backyard he made for us when I remember to get more pictures.

It's been so muddy out there, that we kind have been avoiding it. See the wood plank "bridge" leading up to the garage? That's what you want to stay on if you don't want to lose your shoe in 6" of slimy mud. LOL!

The brick was supposed to start this week, but it was too muddy to deliver the brick around the house. It will be there in a week, after the weather cooperates and the lot dries out a bit.


The kids don't seem to mind the dirt. Too bad mom does, huh? It actually wasn't too bad today, so I let Owen play around in the pile out front for a bit. He was quite happy about that and didn't want to leave.



The inside is coming along . . . hardwood floors are in, tile floors done, shower surrounds in process, interior doors are being hung, and trimwork is in process. It's coming! Slowly, but surely! YIPPEE!

I took these pictures last month, but I thought I would show them to you anyway. These are my new pets I'll have once we move to our new house! Yep. There's a herd of deer on our lot. About 15 of them. I LOVE deer and I think they're so beautiful and such peaceful creatures, but I have a feeling I won't love them as much once they start eating everything I plant in my yard. LOL!
I just hope they are the meanest animal we see there. With a creek on one side of the house and a water reservoir on the other I'm afraid of what other "pets" will come to have a drink!


I made this card last summer, but I had to leave you with something scrappy. :) This particular day I was in the mood to pull out the old Making Memories wires and went to town. It's not the greatest card, but it was fun to play with those dusty wires again! :)

I should have a couple of new things finished for you to see tomorrow! See you then!
