Stampin' Chez Moi

Well I'm sorry that I don't have anything created to show you....well the cardstock kind...but here is a creation that is still in progress! The furniture has been returned to it's proper corners and now I'm busy dusting, placing and having a blast! This week will consist of gardening during the day *smile* and finishing the move, in the evening....and once my evening chores are done....I'll be back in my studio *smiling again* Here's a little peek at the dining room, the floors are amazing ~ we are so pleased with the workmanship that has taken place in our reno! Dynasty Flooring ...you're amazing, thank you!  Be sure to tell them I sent you! So here is the progression.... from plush Teal wall to wall carpeting to how we lived for almost 2 months....and survived! To the reveal!  I haven't shown you a peek at our three wonderful grandsons ~ so without any further ado..... Three amazing boys all sporting their 'Go Canucks Go' shirts! We...

The painting is mostly done ~ the hardwoods are here and the install should begin in about a week ~ our home is a mess and I can't wait to have it back to normal ~ a new normal for us, we've always had wall to wall carpeting, and now it will be wall to wall hardwoods! Here are a few shots to show you how we've been living for the past month.  Standing in the kitchen and looking into the music room (right) and family room (left) and then north east south & west.....mess, mess, mess! No, we don't have a wasp nest in the middle of the dining room ~ just a large bag protecting the light! Looking into the music room ~ the piano & hammond organ are hiding from potential paint splatters! Looking into the family room from the kitchen And the hardwoods have arrived! WooooHooooo! My girls are the best, they just stroll in through the mess as they head downstairs to my studio ~ thank goodness for a lower level that is semi tidy and ready to go and girls...

My last post was over a week ago ~ and I have been missing out on so many challenges that I really wanted to enter ~ but alas, the house has been turned upside down, all the carpeting has been removed, furniture is beginning to be stored in our shop on our property and the paint brushes will be coated with paint and our walls & ceiling will all have a fresh new look! WOW, what a ramble that was ~ so when all this is done, I think I'll also need a fresh new look. So here are some before shots...yes I know, teal carpet, what was I thinking when I chose this in the first place! This is our dining room looking toward the front entrance Basically the same shot in reverse, looking into what we call our 'music room' And here is my darling husband, tearing it up ~  So once this painting and the hardwoods are in....well, I can't wait to show you! I'm so happy to be getting this done, but I'm so sad, cause I miss playing in my studio! thanks so much for st...
