Downsizing crafting supplies

I’ve decided to do a major downsizing of my craft supplies.  Will be placing a LOT of craft supplies, wood pieces/shapes, wood plaques, doll bodies, doll hair & much more on my driveway Saturday April 27^th about 8 AM.  EVERYTHING will be FREE.  What isn’t gone will be taken to the dump Sunday.  I have far too much and it just won’t fit in my downsized house.

Please spread the word.  1600 W. Calvada Blvd, Pahrump

Thanks.

I'm really still here!

A belated Happy New Year to all.  Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving & Christmas. 

The last few months have been crazy busy for me.  My husband and I skipped Christmas because we started moving mid November.  Still not done but close.  We purchased a house in Pahrump, NV.  Small town, low population, no traffic, low cost of living.  We felt it was a great place to retire.  We're certainly not ready to retire but took the plunge while the real estate market was down.

Now the task of prepping our Reno home for sale is in full swing.  Painted the exterior this last summer because of the 2 weddings held in our backyard.  Starting the interior painting today.  New tile floor going down in master bath and then thorough cleaning.  My hope is to list it with a realtor sometime in February.

Many contacted me for Christmas special orders.  Unfortunately I couldn't create anything because my studio was in boxes.  I will email each of you next week to see if you want to cancel or not.  No pressure.  The fault is mine.  I appreciate all of my customers and hope you will continue to enjoy my creations.

Well, painters scheduled to arrive at 7:30.  Need to get in gear.  Have a great day.

15 reasons why moving sucks

1.       When your house is clean, you look around and say, “Wow, we don’t have that much stuff to move.  Hooray!”  You laugh and pat yourself on the back for having 2 yard sales and getting rid of so much stuff.  Then you open up a kitchen cabinet and realize you have to pack all that ‘must have’ culinary stuff.

2.       Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.

3.       When you rarely open the closet in your husband’s home office, and, when you do, an avalanche of crap pours out.  Have to pack that crap too.

4.       Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.

5.       When you own what seems like 1,000 different pairs of shoes & purses that you cannot, will not, and must not part with, but have absolutely no idea how they will be transported or where they will reside at your new, smaller residence.  Call the architect.  Must add a larger closet.

6.       Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.

7.       When you decide it’s a good idea to go through stuff before you pack it, just to see if you can throw anything away. Five hours later you’re still looking through old photos & now in tears.  Must keep everything.

8.       Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.

9.       No.  I’m not a pack rat.  Why do you ask?  Then you realize you are a pack rat ... Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.

10.   When you realize that you shouldn’t have listened to your husband when he said, “we can do this ourselves.”   Note to self – don’t listen to husband ever again.  Damn him.

11.   When you realize you’re somewhat of a control freak and that is indeed why you didn’t want others helping to pack your house up.  Damn me.

12.   When the scary mortgage monster rears its hideous, incompetent head the week of closing and it gets delayed another week.  Damn Bank of America!

13.   When you wake up in the morning and stub your toe on a box that wasn’t there yesterday morning, but it’s there now.  Then reality hits that you have still have much more packing to do.  

14.   Damn.  We’re gonna need more boxes.  Need coffee.  Cannot cope without coffee.

15.   When you had no idea that that many expletives could be said during the course of the day.  Damn moving.  Never doing it again!
