Just a quick update...

Its been a busy and pretty hectic couple of weeks but we have moved into the new house and most of my furniture shopping arrived on the correct date... minus a lounge suite so we had a couple of days of standing about instead of sitting watching TV!!


The cats like the new house too... Chris bought them this huge climbing frame thingy and they love it... its so tall they can look out of the windows and see the world go by...

The house is a bi-level (which you would imagine was a two level but its got a basement so its got 3 levels) and has these amazing vaulted ceilings which means you have these wonderful shelves in completely barmy places and scratch your scrapper's head wondering what to do with them.... well, one small corner is now sorted!!



The lounge is looking ok, the dining room is looking ok, the master bedroom is getting there... the scrap room is definitely a work in progress!!  Actually, its not even a work in progress as I haven't found any furniture for it yet so unpacking the stash boxes is a bit pointless until I have somewhere to put the stash!!



So that is what I have been doing... can't wait to be able to sit and scrap again...
