Patty, I hope you don't mind that I switched things around!

Come play along with us this week, so I can come to your blog and check out your work!

Speaking of "I don't wanna miss a thing!" makes me think of wanting to watch everything that is being done on our house right now... so much work happening and I feel like I can't see it all.

The well truck arrived yesterday... the well will be dug tomorrow!

Heating equipment arriving from the company.

High hats are in the ceiling and working!!!

There are 5 but you can see them all at the same time.

The hookup for the chandeliers are also mounted.

Septic system is going in...

However... my favorite thing that is done is the stairs to the loft are DONE!!!

Yeah and beautiful!!!

My father in law and Brian designed them and they truly are a work of art!

The copper is just beautiful... the treds feel fabulous while you are climbing the stairs!

We have them covered currently so they don't get distroyed before we move in!

No more climbing the really scary ladder to the master suite!

I can't wait to show these off with out them being covered up!

Just imagine a banister with copper pipes down the sides...

Can you just picture a cute tall skinny Christmas tree on that landing this December?

I can!

All About Me Guest Designer for June

Hi everyone,

I am so excited to be the guest designer at All About Me's Challenge Blog.  You definitely need to go check out these fabulous challenges.  Challenge #19 is "I'm Worthy".  What a fun challenge to talk about why you are worthy and what makes you worthwhile.

Everybody is worthwhile and worthy... so come play along with us and take time to scrap about yourself.  I started doing this about a year ago and I am so thrilled to take the time to document about myself.

I also wanted to use a tree and Bryce to represent the characters from the poem.

I have a number 5 on Bryce's hand, since that is how old he is!

Artastic's challenge is

Diva Demand for an extra 6 bonus points
