Vanity

It sure has been a very long week. Moved my daughter and her 3 boys into an upper duplex on Saturday. Spent Saturday - Monday unpacking boxes, hanging curtains, blinds, pictures, etc. Not to mention doing 12 loads of her laundry to get her caught up. Then on Tuesday I decided to clean the attic completely of all of Karissa's old things that she never took with her. I took out 4 bags of garbage, an old under-the-bed drawer set and made a pile of items that Karissa will be storing at her house. I swear I don't want to climb stairs for awhile - 2 flights of steps are not fun. And my health is still not the greatest. Can't seem to get rid of this bronchitis/cold. But, the good news is I now have a craftroom all to myself. Plus, my laptop is up and restored. Yeah! I am finally up and running again to where I can start creating cards again. I'm so excited!
