Mojo Monday #456


Good evening friends and happy Saturday! I hope y'all are having a great
weekend so far! We are hopefully getting a new house soon! That's our weekend
news! We had the inspection and are waiting to hear what the owner
is willing to fix. One of the AC units is not working properly, it isn't cooling
down enough so it is staying on 24/7 to attempt to get to proper temperature so 
hopefully that is an inexpensive fix. He said depending on the price
of that will depend on what else he'll fix. There isn't a bunch that's terribly
pricey, just a bunch of little things. It's a 40 year old home so I figure it's all pretty
normal. We will also have to put in a water softener. It has some crazy
hard water. It needs a lot of updates but is in good shape over all so our plan is
to move in it as is and after we sell are current home, use the money
we get to start doing upgrades such as all new floors and kitchen and bathroom
remodels. I'm also getting a huge craftroom! Even bigger than my current 
one! It's actually a 12x14 dining room, but since the living room is so huge we
decided to incorporate a dining room in there so we'll put a door on
the opening from the living to my new craftroom so it'll just seem like an office.
Since we'll have so much work to start doing ya'll might not see me as much
for a few months. When we move in and until we sell the current house I'll be starting
to paint 2900 square feet of walls and trim during my free time. I will also
have about 1,000 cabinet doors to paint. I'm exaggerating of course, but this house
has so many little storage cabinets all over the place. Not to mention the kitchen 
cabinets and some awesome laundry room cabinets. Seriously the laundry
room has more countertop and cabinet space than most peoples kitchens. I have
no idea what I'll use it for. Hopefully nothing for a while! I don't want
to fill up all the wonderful storage space just yet!

Anyways. hubby is watching little man and gave me a bit of alone time this
 evening so I got caught up on some DT cards and figured I should get 
my weekly Mojo Monday card done and entered!

Mojo Monday #454


Happy Sunday afternoon crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend!
We spent last night at my parents house having a cookout, playing some
corn hole, and lighting off some little fireworks. We had a fun time! Little man
didn't seem to mind the fireworks. The ones he didn't like were ones
that had a high pitch, like a squeal. The big booms didn't bother him in the slightest.
He's been a bit grumpy the last few days. Eating more and wanting to be
held often so wondering if it's a growth spurt... That's why I haven't had a chance
to make any cards this week until today. He is sleeping soundly in his
Rock N Play next to my desk. I was able to get a card made for the current 
Mojo Monday challenge that I want to share with y'all!



Enabler's List:

Paper: CTMH - Happy Times
Stamps: Verve - Good Work and Bloom and Grow
