Been Awhile...

Wow....Does anyone still read this???

I haven't blogged in nearly a month! What's wrong with me!  I managed to keep up with all of you through my reader but just haven't been motivated to make a post.

Nothing too exciting has been going on lately.  Just busy! 

Let's see in the past four weeks I have had Etsy orders to fill, spent time with close friends, wedding planning and traveling. AND oh yeah, We have been house hunting which has filled most my days!

House Hunting summed up in one word - STRESSFUL!  There is so much to think about (area, resale value, what we really NEED) and so much to do(appointments, offers, reading a zillion pages of a contract) and the bad stuff (waiting on offer to go through, being rejected).  Our heads are still up (after a day of pure depression :) ) and the hunt continues.

Wedding planning was put on a short hold for house hunting, but with only 104 days to go I need to be getting busy!  

We went camping on the 4th (my first camping experience ever) and it was pure bliss.  hehehe yeah right.  Anyone who know me knows that is not the true.  It was fun but I will not sleep in a tent ever again!  Post with pictures to come soon.

Other than that life is moving by way to fast.  When I go to sleep tonight I will wake up and it will be Wednesday already.  Anyone else feel like that?

Off to bed I go...back to wedding planning tomorrow.  Lots to still get done!

Crafting up a storm...and Giveaway Announcement

I mentioned in an earlier post that I was busy crafting and would share soon...

I participated in two swaps, Bunch of Scrap's St. Patrick's Swap and American Homemaker's Spring Swap.

What I sent to my partner for St. Patrick's Swap: Shamrock Canvas and Rag Garland

What I sent to my Spring Swap partner: Initial Canvas, Birdhouse, Spring sign, Seeds

One big project this week was the church nursery.  Will and I painted the nursery a pretty yellow Monday night and I brought home a giant bulletin board to paint.  Also I tried my hand at making some curtains.  I cheated and made these valances out of pillowcases :).  Hey!  It Works!

Moving along...I have made a few more items to add to my Etsy store, Simply Ash Designs.

How cute is this hairbow holder???

What have you been crafting on lately?

Another note: I dyed my hair!  eek!  It's darker and has a bronze hint to it.  I think I like it.

One more note:  I am having my FIRST GIVEAWAY this week, so check back to sign up!  I think you will just adore it!
