its the final countdown!

hey all :)

The count down is coming to a close!

We are looking at 2 days and 3 nights before I'm laying my head down to sleep in Olathe Kansas.

Soooo weird to think a week from today I'll have finished my first day of work with little Emery and Hayden!

Ah! Im excited!!!

Easter weekend was so much fun! I love having all of my family together :)

Here we are :)

So fun to have everyone together :)

And to think that in two weeks brandon graduates from MNU.. SO CRAZY!

Its going to be fun having my parents come stay with me and in my new place... and spend time with even more family :)

Ugh... family.. I cant get enough of this! :)

Other than celebrating the wonderful Easter season I havent had much to do. Most of my packing is completed :). Aaaaaaand as of about 2 hours ago my LAST project was completed!

I'm starting to get so excited about getting moved in, painting, organizing... :) ugh. so stinking fun!

Okay.. so I want to tell ya'll about my latest project....

I had a vision of what I wanted my living room to look like and it involved one of these:

However.. this cost at LEAST 75 dollars. And by now you all know me... NOT a money spender. Especially when I think I can make it. ha.

So.. this is what I had to work with:

this is the coffee table that came with the end tables and sofa table that an old family friend gave to me. here is the beginning on the priming/painting process :)... and here is the end result... little wooden board, some padding, fabric, stable gun. thread and some buttons and voila!

I looo-hooove the way it turned out, but I'm already contemplating changing the fabric to something brighter and more fun! I guess we will just see once I get moved in and settled, then I can change whatever I want :)

I see a lot of "projects" in my future :) so fun!

so.. grand total for this beauty:

wooden board : $10.

Fabric: $2.00 (clearance at Walmart)

buttons, thread and tufting needle: $8

padding: $6.00

GRAND TOTAL: $26.00!!!

not to shabby! :)

Last day with one of my nanny families today.. bittersweet.. reality is hitting me that I'm leaving omaha and headed to a new life... (luckily ONLY 3 hours away!)

Tomorrow is work with the Deans then church... final packing tomorrow night.

Thursday is work and then packing the trailer Thursday night then Friday morning I hit the ROAD!!!

Heaven help me!
