Giddy & Excited

The last few days have been a whirlwind to say the least.  It feels like so much has happened, and its only the beginning.  We made an offer on the house today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Its been really wonderful and strange how everything up to this point has just fallen into place.  Like pieces to a puzzle.  And the moments we thought we didnt have the right piece, it was just the one next to it.  And then it fit!  It almost feels like we have been led to this house.  I cant really explain it.  And I feel like my mom is with us through this.  I know she would be soooo happy to be here during this time in our lives in real life, but I feel like she is here right by our side helping us along the way.  I think she is working her little angel magic right now in a big big way!

I have a feeling that the next few weeks to few months, may be out of this world crazy.  So bare with me if I go absent, or just plain nuts and crazy!  ha ha.  It might happen!  And I hope to keep myself sane enough through it all to continue making new pretties and adding stuff to the shop.  One day at a time.  And I know this is all Ive been talking about lately, probably pretty boring, but its the biggest thing next to marrying my boy that Ive ever done!!!  But if it really happens and all goes right, I truly believe so many good things will come of being in this house.  It is going to be a magical transformation, in our lives, in our hearts, and who knows, maybe even with Violet Bella & Skyline Fever!!!  More room means, more organized and less stressful creating space and time!!!  Oh my gosh I cannot wait!

So... this does not mean it is ours yet.  It is still just the beginning part of the process.  But we did sign about 10+ pages today stating we are wanting to go through with it!  Ive been warned that the hard part is just around the corner, and we will be mobbed with phone calls and paper work.  We will just have to breathe and take it one step at a time.  My grandparents came up today to look at the house and they both approve!!!  Which meant so much to me.

Big big day tomorrow getting ready for the garage sale & filling orders.  If you didnt see my last post about my sale, you must go check it out, 25% off on all of my best best stuff!  I added over 20 more items this morning!!!

PEACE,

Life. Daydreaming. Pretties. Plans.

I cannot believe that yet another month is almost come and gone again.  Everyday for the past month I have spent most likely half of those hours daydreaming about our house.  I got tired of waiting for my tax guy, and was recommended by a friend to just do them myself, at least to get a rough estimate number for a pre-approval, since you dont need the real deal for that part.  I have been checking my email just about every hour this week!  So now, the numbers are out there and it is in the hands of math to let us know if we can even be pre-approved for this little dream home.  The sad part is, for a self employed person, they average your last two years income... and last year, I was just starting my business and had to buy alot of supplies to get started, so my income was almost 0.  Not even joking!  So, even though I did well this year, on paper it will look like I did half of what I really did!  Im so worried this is what is going to keep us from getting it.  Sucks so bad to know that I am such a hard worker and have the success to prove it, but in the end, the math is what matters.

Aside from the house news... Im so glad spring is starting to happen.  It doesnt look like it yet, but it is starting to feel like it.  I was able to wear a tshirt, skirt and legwarmers the other day and it was delightful!  I love the versatility of my hubby's stylish tee's...  this birdie one is a long tunic and I love wearing it over leggings, but it looks great tucked in a skirt too!  And Im quite obsessed with my striped Mountain Girl Clothing leg warmers.  That girl makes my legs very very happy!

I added a few more goodies to the shop this morning.  This style of earrings Ive had in my shop forever, but made them in a few more color schemes.  Love them!  I love the color combo of the new locket, and the Henna Hand necklace is just gorgeous!!!

And are these not the cutest little nesting dolls ever???  There is a dark blue one too.  They are wooden and look just like a real little Matryoshka doll!  Love...


So far Ive got almost everything priced for the garage sale this weekend.  Still have some things to go through yet.  We have bags and piles all over the house!  Cant wait to get it all out of here.  It feels really good to be cleaning out also.  There is a letting go that must take place when getting rid of stuff.

I have a long to do list of work related stuff still to do in the next day or so.  And in the middle of it all, Im determined to stay on top of my working out and eating right.  Today I made myself veggie pasta salad that I can munch on for a few days, it was soooo yummy!  And now that it is made, I wont have an excuse when I dont feel like taking the extra time to cook.  That is my biggest problem.  I get overwhelmed with what I am doing during the day, that I eat whatever is quick and easy.  It is time to change that!

Since it is getting close to the end of the month, I will be having a few guest posts from my awesome sponsors!!!  Go check them all out, they wouldnt be there if I didnt love them.  I think I wont have any for this next month, so I dont overload myself.  And I know I said I wasnt going to, but I just may have some paid sponsor spots starting in April.  So if you think you would like to be on the list send me a message!

PEACE,
Laura

Weekend Photos

This weekend was jammed packed with friends and bbq's!  James and I were so tired today, but it was so good to see everyone.  I spent the day tagging items for our garage sale this coming weekend.  I got to dress up alot this weekend which was exciting after being in pjs so much lately!

My bestie's twin came home from California for a visit.  It was so good to see her, she was actually my best friend in junior high/early high school.  And through the years of going different directions, the universe has pulled me and her twin together as besties!  So funny. 

To their bbq I wore my mommies leather sandals, leggings, my Skyline Fever teepee dress layering with a vintage scarf layering tank and this cuff bracelet.  And I curled my hair two days in a row!  Which hasnt happened in forever...

Here is a pic of my girl, that her little 1 year old took (with my assistance)... She is the prettiest girl in the world, in my own opinion.  I have lots of pics of everyone else but I dont want to post them on my blog since Im not sure who would mind...

me and xavier, my besties son have been bonding alot lately.  im absolutely smitten with him.
It was really cute to see him look at his mom and her twin sister together for the first time, he kept calling them both momma!

The night before, we had a girls night out at the bar here in town.  It was alot of fun and much needed.
dont mind the look on shelleys face, she was not drunk, ha ha...

PEACE,
Laura
