This is another one of my happy accidents. We no longer buy or even make pinatas with paper mache(which we did for years). When we need a pinata I just get a gift sack, which we usually aready have. And we usually cut out a picture that goes with the theme of the party. Last year Matthew's was Super man so I got a school folder for less than a dollar, cut out Superman and we had a Superman pinata. This year I just used one of the invitations we used to invite Brittany's friends and then added a little paint. Joshua's we just painted ballons on. If you happen to have a cuter sack than we did your work is done. I have put an extra sack in holding the candy, but then it takes forever to break! Staple it closed, tye it up to hang from a broom or a tree and you are set! We made three! Oh, and I don't know what is up with that goofy face Brittany is making! I will try and post one more time if the movers don't take my computer tomorrow. I may try and do it along the way, if not I will be back probably by July 15. Love you guys, thanks for all of your encouragement. Don't forget me!

Is anyone considering suggesting I check into the funny farm?
I know, I really need to stop doing little projects and concentrate on moving stuff, but where would the fun in that be? I couldn't sleep the other night so I made this for our favorite babysitter. It now says "we love amanda" in that blue banner. I am reallly liking these little canvas/collage/paintings and might have to do one for myself eventually. I wish I could promise this will be my last little project but I know myself too well! Besides I know I have pinjatas to put together today and two birthday parties this weekend! Oh, well Monday and the movers are going to come no matter what I do right? Thanks so much for your wonderful words and support, it is really helping me!

Well, it's Official!
We got the word last night that our latest offer had been accepted! So it looks like this will be the house! I thought Iwould post a picture of the living room and the kitchen too, since I am really excited about the plantation shutters and the stainless steel appliances. If I can't have the cute vintage looking appliances then these will do. I think this must mean I am an official grown-up when shutters and refridgerators make me excited! Oops! Looks like I accidentally posted the family room too! I have been a little sad too though because this is making the whole thing seem real. I mean we are supposedto close on the new house by July 10 and we may be apple to make it sooner than that! Thanks so much blog-friends for your well wishes while we were on this trip, I think it worked!
