I have some new pictures to share!!

The garage doors are finally up and they are putting the second coat of stain on the siding.

 The kitchen is really looking nice! The painter will be finished this week then start on staining the windows next week.

 This is a view of the master bathroom. I love this nice sage green wall color!

I know it’s been awhile since I have updated you all on the progress… the last three weeks the drywallers have been working. When they are there, not much else goes on until that process is complete. And it is!! Yeah!!

Thursday the painter started working on the walls and today the vinyl in the bathrooms was put in. The finish carpenters have also started putting in all the cabinets and the pine ceiling in the greatroom. It’s been a few weeks since I was able to get up there, but Saturday I’ll be there taking pictures of all the new stuff and I’ll share those with you as soon as I can!!

Have you checked out our What’s New page?? You really should!! (Hint Hint) I think you might like it!

Plans for the Open House are going well. It’s May 30 - June 1st! I have a few more details to work out before posting all the information on that. For now, just keep that weekend available if you are interested in coming and checking out everything we have been working on so hard for you.

I have gotten a few more tools in also. First off, a new Dell computer and monitor are here for the craftroom. I still need to get the printer, that is next on the list.

    The Curvy Cutter and glass cutting mat are in. We have the round, oval and rounded square templates.

The Tonic 12" guillotine paper trimmer!!

  I’m sure I’ll be adding in a few more things here and there as we go. But I wanted to share with you the major items that will be available for your use.

TGIF!!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Well, I’ve had some fun shopping this week for tools to go in the craft room!

My first purchase was a die cut system.

I picked the newest release of the Big Shot!!

It came with five different font sets, and I picked up a couple more to go with it.

The great thing about the Big Shot is you can use pretty much any other dies on the market with it!! Gotta love the versatility of that!!

I know a lot of you like to sew on your layouts and cards. Now you won’t have to lug along your machine for the weekend!

This Singer is a nice basic sewing machine that will be great for adding that special touch to your paper crafts.

The latest Becky Higgins sketch book will be available for you to get some inspiration from.

This is a compilation of all the sketches in Becky’s Books I and II plus those in Creating Keepsakes magazine, but with all new layout examples. I love how it is organized by number of photos!

The Cherish book from CTMH is another wonderful idea book with detailed layout recipies included.

In addition to the scrapbooking items, there is also an ironing board and

Shark steam iron for the quilters!

More tools are on the way!

I just placed the order for one of the hotest new scrapbook idea books out right now.

Becky Fleck’s Page Maps are so wonderful for helping you get your mojo moving and getting pages finished!! We will have this new book in our idea library as well!

That’s a quick look at some of the things we have been getting to stock the craft room. More will be on the way!!

Stay tuned for an announcement on our Open House!

 I have some new pictures for you all. Dale was up at the retreat last Sunday and took these for me. 

The drywall should be all hung this week and the mudding and taping will start next. Now it’s so much easier to see how the rooms really shape up.

We have to finialize our plans for the mantle soon. We are thinking of using a nice chunky pine beam and a granite surround and hearth. The flat panel TV will be above the fireplace also.

I really liked the angle of this picture. Of course, today there is another 6 or so inches of snow!! Nice!!

Another nice view!! Dale did good with the camera I think!

We are going to have our work ahead of us to get the landscaping done too. I believe we are doing that ourselves.

Anyone know what plants the deer won’t eat???
