A Winner and FINALLY Photos of the Front Room!!

Thank you to everyone "WHOO" stopped by and commented on my trio of woes!!

I really appreciate your concern and comments.

So finally taking the plunge and using random.org the winner was #6:

Colleen of Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries

Congratulations!

I had never used random.org so that was a fun little trick.

I will contact you Colleen for your address.

We finally managed to get the front room back together complete with photos on the wall! 

 But before I could even snap a photo out came the Lego Castle Fortress set smack dab on the center table and the end tables.

My son has been losing his mind about getting the front room done so he could get his Lego's back out to play mid-evil war! 

What can I say...it is the "family room" too! 

I would love to send each of you a set of Lego's but I would not be allowed to live here if I did that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy your day!

Do they come in THREES?

I was so excited to post my front room being finished with pictures on the wall and new carpet and we were now living there watching TV and enjoying it but...

My husband commented on the ice cream being soft a few days ago so I figured with all the house rehab the poor refrigerator needed a good cleaning. 

Friday night we clean the thing inside and out.

Needless to say the under carriage and cooling elements were well insulated with dust "Rabbits".  Not a bunny in sight.

Feeling happy with our hard work we stared moving furniture and cleaning the front room where I proceed to brake one of my husband's favorite blown glass vases, crushed my Ukrainian hand painted egg, and drop a piece of plastic shattering it into a million and five pieces.

OK, that was three and I can never work for Molly Maid's--Thank Heavens!

 

We wake up the next day to a mess---I an sure you know of what I speak!

DEAD refrigerator.

Clean up the mess.

Put all the food into a smaller apartment size refrigerator.

Off to go buy a new one.

Found one I liked.  We measured so that it would fit into our space but I had no idea this thing was HUGE!!  Sticks out of the wall about 8 inches.  It looks like we have no food in it.

Of course this morning my kids complained that the milk was sour...after no refrigeration, then frozen in the little fridge, now to something that works we have had to throw out a bit of food.

And that is not cheap to do.

(I drank sour milk as a kid--my kids are apparently spoiled-rotten, like the milk!)

In the mean time our Microwave caught on fire--# two if you are all keeping track.

I am not sure what #3 will be and I hate to voice this out loud but my camera has been acting up.

Well, I needed therapy in a big way so I painted something one of my customers suggested and it was way out of my league.

So in celebration of not having a number three yet (it is around the corner) I am having a quick giveaway for this Owl and Acorn magnet.

Please leave a comment on this post only letting me know if you like it or what improvements I could make in the future on a design like this.

I will pick a winner on Monday, October 1st.

Open to USA and Canadian friends.

If you would like to spread the word I would appreciate it.

I am hoping today goes a bit smoother and I can actually paint for the up coming OFG Team Christmas and Winter Celebration starting on October 5th.  More info to come.

Enjoy your day!!
