Organizing My Scrap Room...




Clip It Up! I have seen this time saving organizer for some time...checked it out at the scrap store...used a 40% off coupon and it now is in my scrap room. I love it!
Makes it so easy to SEE before you what you have and what you need to find and use.
I think this is so far the best organizer I have and I can pick it up and take to a crop. Check it out you will be amazed how easy it will make your scrapping right at your fingertips.

Just a few things...


Today...on our list for Mom's Place...we have just a few things left to do.
We are waiting on the shower door to come in and then Bob can install the door
and install a fire extinguisher in the kitchen, cover the shelves in Mom's
walk in closet and when she gets here get her TVs hooked up with cable and
Mom is all set. We just need to do wood trim/moldings to complete it all.
Everything looks really great...and what part you had in making this possible
for Betty/Mom/Grama we are so thankful and appreciate your hard work and the
love you have showered on Mom. I know changes are not easy and at the age of
79...but we have tried to make it as smooth & comfortable and just want Mom
to really feel at home and to enjoy each day... Thanks, to our wonderful family
for taking the vision and making it to become a reality.

Is it looking like home...





Look at all this...

This past week Bob was off with Winter Break...Yeah! so we worked most the week
on Mom's Place. We took a trip Up North for a few days and visited with Bob's Mom,
Wilma and we just played games, went out to eat and Bob and his Mom worked on a project she is doing with the kids at her church...a car they will all race. It was nice to spend time together.
Then came home and worked the rest of the week and on Friday... Jodie & Alivia came over to help out and a few of our friends also helped us doing...a list full of:

We did it...the floors are all cleaned...





After doing the floors numerous times...they are cleaned. We again on Saturday
went over the floors...we even found our furnace/storage room and cleaned the
floor in there...it is so much better. Then Bob returned the "Concrete Cleaning Machine"...we are so glad that is done. YES!
Also... on Thursday when I was doing floors my friend Char came over and took apart
and cleaned the fig...man that is a nice frig. Have you ever used...Mr Clean Magic Eraser... it is amazing how that white sponge cleans. I still have one more blind and
window to clean from all that drywall dust. We got the curtain rods for the windows and will be putting those up this week. We are pleased at the progress and how it is all coming together for Mom. We are getting there... every day a little closer.

ABUNDANCE is ... the smell of coffee brewing.

Abundance is ... taking the time to do it right.

Abundance is ... a well-spent day that brings good sleep.

Abundance is ... life's blessings of family & friends.

It is a good thing to thank the Lord.
PSALM 92:1

Bob & I had a nice Valentine's Day lunch together...picked up a few more items for
Mom's Place...came home anxious to look at the drying floors...looking good!
And then we just hung out and watched a movie..."Something's Gotta Give"...and laughed
a lot. " What About Bob ? "... no not the movie...now that was a movie...but Bob, I love that man...he has poured hiself into making a home for my Mom. He is a good man and
a crazy man too. HA! So thankful that we can yell and disagree...but then talk it out...
get mad...but then forgive and make up and through this project we have done that.
He is the best man to me and he is getting the job done for Mom's Place.
