Embarking on the big journey.

Happy Sunday afternoon. While I have a ton of things on my plate and not to mention a ton of ideas in my head, writing everything down may be just one more thing to add to my list, but I figured why not. I enjoy reading so many others great ideas and adventures so I felt I wanted to share some of mine. I have discovered some really great places (and people) that I want to share with others and introduce you to. So even if you don't live in my little town of Powder Springs, GA, you can share my travels in search of unique items to make over my home and meet these great people along the way.  I spend a lot of time on my Pinterest page looking for new things to make for my home, (going to be re-creating a lot of them and showing the steps here) I love my Facebook & Twitter pages, they help me connect with some great people!
 
NOW........what journey shall I take you on?  How about the main journey, the one of making our new house a home. We moved into a new home on Sept. 1 from the small ranch house we lived in for almost 12 years. The reason we left our previous home, well.... I will share that with you at another time, but our new home is perfect for our family of 4. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a bonus bedroom/office, full basement and a room over the garage that as of now is unfinished BUT would make a great bonus room. The basement is unfinished now but quite usable, it hosts my washer & dryer and what is soon to be my Studio/Craft room where all my ideas & crafts will come to be. Now it is a jumbled mess but will one day be the room of my dreams. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the craft room of my dreams..............  sorry about that, got sidetracked in a little daydream again. I have to stop doing that, I don't want to loose you.

So this big journey is a huge undertaking, I am quite overwhelmed with it, so along the way we will take small trips to create cute centerpieces, adorable add-ons and amazing mantels which together will make a house a warm & welcoming home.  I will share before & after pictures and I welcome your comments, suggestions and ideas.  Together will we try some lay outs and see what works best!

I want you to be a part of this blog just as much as I am, so feel free to let me know what you think of the tasks we take on and how you like the layout. Should I re-arrange or try something new? Please let me know, I can't wait to hear from you all!  This is our new place we just moved into, lots of room, neutral colors through out, it's like a blank canvas, so let's get started................
