The Wall is tumbling down!


Beams to hold the ceiling while the big yellow permanent ones are hammered in!



This is what it looked liked after day one! Yes, it was a long day-mama was tired but not complaining. Luke did not get to play in the living room most of the day so he had fun that evening! Daddy is on the phone talking with the dry wall guy coming on Friday!



No more wires hanging down! Im standing in myliving room with this shot-thankful there is so much more natural light!



I will say for a Moducraft home this was was double thick! It was many layers getting through this thing! Goodbye to the good ole Rainbow-it was a reminder HE will keep his promises! IT entertained my children for years! New Paint is next week!

Today is the day!






Little did I know today would be the day! I got the call at 9 and he was here at 10 to start-so we have been busy! Luke is very excited and slept through sawing! Must be a Mason! So this is what it looks like at 12 noon-so I am grabing some lunch!

Till the next picture!

HO-HO-HO! Happy Christmas in March! This week's Give AWAY!


Because it feels like Chritmas around here this week with snow, sleigh riding, Hot cocoa, blessings in tearing down my wall and blessing to be almost done with this..I am giving away this Christmas Package! Another Apron from Ms. Virginia and a set of Christmas Boxes and lables to PUT AWAY now for December! Just post or email me and if interested and I pray to have the last Open House by Next Wednesday... Luke's Closet! It is my goal to have the big projects out of the way before all this construction starts then it gets into Easter and I need to focus on my ministry projects and family (always on that) through the summer. I will not send emails anymore and just post for loved ones the update of the Great Room, etc.! Thanks so much for helping me through all this and making me be accountable!

I am on my way to call the carpet people right now-to double make me accountable for getting the basement finished!

My devotion for today (Proverbs 6 -for the 6th day of March-you can do that for each day of the month) says the wise teacher rebukes the slothful person who makes excuses for his laziness-so I gotta get busy!

Open House #7-A week late but better late than never!



Basement Closet!! Only thing missing is the Twin Mattress for children's company when comin'! Didn't think you need to see the mattress! I went through each box and had fun with my label maker (see below). I am just not quite ready to give up some other stuff yet-I thought I would know if I was ready so I kept it! Never know what blessings will come :-)


Me having fun with the label maker! -I need to go back in the Holiday area in have some more fun!


I promised Christina I would have this done so I could announce the winner of the Pampered Chef gloves and $5 Wammers to Wally World! It can help with something! I did not announce cause I knew I would not get it done! I do have a few more boxes to go through but it is almost done. I am making myself accountable to go throough the boxes because I have a decorator checking out the pad (free consultation) on Monday! We are buying floor for the upstairs and I need guidance! So this is a double blessing!

Total time in closet will be close to 5 hours!

Thanks for hanging in there with me-praying for me-etc.

The winner of the Pampered Chef giveaway is.....................................drum roll............................................what is next week.............................hahahahahah.........................
Thank you for the post and emails of encouragement.........MICHELLE "Lucky 2X Winner" ESTES!

Have a great day and weekend!

Working in the Basement!-Going to be a late post!

Hey all-Whoever is out there in blog land! I pray you are having a great day! I got started a little slow-decided to wrestle with my son and look at Ranger Rick magazines. Maybe it was the rain that was coming but I was kinda tired today!

So I am working on the basement picking up insulation from Doug working down there, sweeping, Clorox some things, cleaning bathrooms, clothes then yes attacking the closet. (ANYTHING BUT THAT but I know it needs doing) Thinking of the Sweet Treasures in getting it done. Its going to be a late post. I will announce winner of the Pampered Chef combo special later on!!! Sorry-it will force me to clean!

Bye Now!
"So each of us then shall give account of himself to God" Matthew 14:12
Congratulations to Michelle Estes-winner of the $10 gift card to Walmart!
