Mojo Monday #460

Good afternoon crafty friends and happy Friday! I hope y'all have fun weekends

in store! We were supposed to close on the new house yesterday (which was

the second reschedule) but a mess up on the paperwork has set it back to closing

hopefully on Monday. Third times the charm right? We're just ready to

get moving so we can get our current home on the market and hopefully sell

soon. Fortunately the houses in our neighborhood sell fairly quick so

it shouldn't take too long. Then we can really get into the remodel of the new place.

I'm not sure how much packing and moving help I'll be with a 3 month old.

I can maybe put him down for 2 or 3 hours a day. He usually doesn't nap longer

than 20-30 mins unless he's being held and he loves to be held! I'd 

assume just hire someone to pack it all up but I don't know how much that costs

and that'll take money out of my flooring budget. 

Anywho, before the little shorty waits up, which will be anytime soon since he's

been down 30 minutes, I wanted to share a quick card I whipped up

for the current Mojo Monday challenge. I will also share this on Wordart Wednesday.

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!
