one step closer to be a homeowner
I can't wait. We may have to do a IKEA trip. I can spend all day in that store and not buy a thing. 
This calls for some
Congrats Rachal!!! BTW, I would love to have that kitchen in my house (my kitchen is tiny), it's like a hallway. I have a total of 3 feet of useable counter space.
DH let me go in Hobbycraft (the ONLY B&M shop withing 25 miles of me) as we were going to that area to pick up a game for DS(11) and I didn't buy a SINGLE thing
Maybe because Stickles, for example, are £3.49 EACH (yes, over $5 and that's for the small ones)
ALTHOUGH they did have a cute sizzix thingy that looked like a handbag and was for embossing for cards or something
DH decided we didn't have room before I could get a good look
but maybe for my birthday..... What could it have been and do I want one
no yellow and green.
and once that wall is gone it will seem bigger and give me some extra space, the kids can help cook from the otherside of the counter , right now I feel like I can touch everything at once. 
We've tried to figure out how we can remodel and enlarge the kitchen, but, we haven't figured it out yet. I don't spend much time in there and I'd rather have my swap space be twice as big as my kitchen rather than the other way around 
Cheryl that is tiny! But its pretty.
Hope, we had one just that same size, no drawers, no pantry, we had wire shelves in the laundry space, no place for a table. But its pretty,
Lisa, Stunning! I love the black counters.
We're going to do white cabinets with black counters.
I need to decide what color to paint the in between. I think we are going to put the fridge where the "pantry" is and move the pantry to the wall with the fridge, make it narrow but long, so things don't get lost in the back.
I think i may have to disney-fi it some how too.
my counters usually have clutter!Hope--you're right there is an eating space connected to the living room. But, you kitchen is so pretty
Lisa--you have my dream kitchen
Lisa, your kitchen is beautiful!
The weather outside your window...why I'm glad I'm not in the PacNW anymore. And that looks like it's a good day, because there is some light in those clouds.
but not holding my breath!
Ok I'm jumping on.
We are trying to buy a house and I need to reign things in so that I can paint, buy new things and make it ours. We bought a house!! Realtor said that we would have approval from their bank today. still waiting...
On the scrapping front, I have still been using most of my stash while scrapping/swapping. And only buying paper/embellies if I don't have any of that theme. Scrapped my stash mostly, had to get some baby boy stuff for a present for the realtor since we dont have such things around here. bought adhesive, blades for my straight trimmer and cricut mats
Pictures are a must!! I have been using my coupons especially for snapfish, my last order was for 645 prints, which would have been $86.31 but i paid $48.20 because they sent me a 25%off and free shipping.waiting for a new deal to order more pics, but i think i am good for awhile
Carts- DBF bought me 5 for Christmas, including all of the new disney so I am set there. I also picked up Twinkle Toes at walmart for $25 today, that will be my last for a long time. And since its dance I will get loads of use out of it.still havent used many of my new carts, just no time.
Household
Really need to eat in more often. This is so hard with the work schedules around here, but we are going to limit to once per month. I need to get over to the crockpot sticky and start some meal planning. we had 1 dinner out, 1 pizza night, and 3 of us had popcorn and nachos and the movies twice, tron and narnia so not too shabby. DBF usually splurges on the eating out its his one vice. Oh and he did get me subway for lunch one afternoon.
Make Coupons my new friend. I was doing really good for awhile. I love saving more than I spend. I usually forget the ones that I need at home.
Baby Steps....
I have got to join...went off the deep end this year. I have enough supplies to open a couple of stores and no room for it!!! My husband is threatening to video my supplies and send it in to hoarders!! I will have to buy adheasive and printer ink / paper for photos. I am going to push myself to use my scraps when possible to get that pile down, use supplies on hand, start using swap items that I have nicely collected this past year and only buy items I will use immediately. I ordered photos from snapfish and shutterfly using discounts. Started getting them off laptop...need to keep plugging away at that! Had to buy adheasive 2 times.The buying MUST be limited to no more than $50 a month, including Cricut carts or anything else. So, not many carts will be bought. Ok...went a little over here...$20 over...I bought some paper that I got a great deal on. But I also ended up getting 3 Cricut carts for under $60 and two of them are brand new releases! So, next month I will try to make up for the extra spending and allow less.That covers the scrapping ban wagon...now the household...limit eating out to once a week We did great here...except the reward night for DS!!, clean out cabinets by using items in meals Still have to do this., lose the holiday lbs to get back into some older clothes and not buy any new this year. This will start as soon as the cookies are out of the house. I had baking supplies to use up from Christmas so I made several batches!! (You know sometimes shopping your own closet is as good as shopping a store!!) That's all I can think of for now...
****had to change the eating out to once a week according to DH...he says we will never make once a month and not set our goals so high that we fail miserably!! LOL
