My home looks much better...

Well, with each day that passes, my home looks better and better. The walls are white and my new study has a window. The porch looks goooood !!! (Remember? for the soul! I love it). I came up with a new syndrome "New porch syndrome" - and I have it - I walk out every morning, only to take a breath of clean cold air (for the soul) and go back inside.

I am planning my "workspace" – not an easy task. But I found some old drawers for my rubber stamps and they look great. I hope to find some more drawers for my other stuff.

I even got to create today – my friend Dafna asked me to make a Wedding card so I just had to … here it is… I think it came out great - I like it (if i do say so myself LOL)

and on the inside

Bye for now
Until my next post
Hugs and kisses to you all
XXXOOOXXX

Alone and not very creative...


It has been almost a month since my last post, and also that one had nothing to do with crafting. So yet again this post will only mention that I have no time or ability to create.

For the past 3 weeks my house is a mess, I have plastic bags and old sheets on every item in the living room and dining room and my bed room too. As I mentioned before, we are building 2 more parts to our home: another room (which is supposed to be my new study) and a porch (for the soul, with view to the beautiful sea, the Mediterranean). We are living now in 2 rooms: the boys in theirs and we are sleeping in our study. And we go in to the kitchen every once in a while.
Every day after the workers go home I have to clean the floors so we can go on living. (My neighbors just decided to move out for the renovations, probably a smart move).
Anyway on Wednesday Yaron had to fly to India! With all the mess going around, we found all the clothes he needed (A lot!!! 30Kg). We were packing and unpacking for 3 days until we got to the right weight (well we don’t want to pay overweight taxes do we).

So I am alone for 10 days!!! With the kids of course!! And on antibiotics, because a couple of days before Yaron had to leave I got tonsillitis once again, only a month after the last time. I just can't seem to get rid of it.

Since I am sleeping in the room where my tools are, there is no room for a chair and no room to craft. And even if there was I don’t think after a whole day of wor, kids and cleaning I could create anything worthwhile.

So valentines went bye, and I was alone. We past a few SMS messages of "I Love you" and "I miss you". And I hope these few more days pass fast.

Limor, my cousin, came back from winter CHA 2008 with the Flu, so I want to wish her good health and get better soon. Her luggage (with all the goodies) got lost on the way back – so I hope it will all be found!!
I watched some videos of the CHA last night and I await her stories. Here is a link to the videos: Http://www.creativexpress.com/nth/index.php?actn=view&id=51&title=CHA%20Winter%20-%20Making%20Memories

So here I come to an end, with some photos of my renovations, I hope in a few days it will all be over.

Love to all
XOXOXOXOXOX
Sharon
