It's beginning...

to look a lot like Christmas around here...or maybe Christmas spewed out all over my dining room table and floor.  The realtor asked us to decorate and put the house on the market as soon as we could.  No pressure...LOL.  I hope the decorations will WOW the first person in the door and they will immediately write up a contract!  Wouldn't that be something?!  I hope, I hope, I hope.  But we also need time for the Lakeshore home to be done.  Anyone else decorating out there?

Hey Y'All! Remember this?

So did I spell it right this time Ondrea?

Well, I don't know if you all remember the lake house that we were thinking about buying and the deal fell through?  Well, we actually closed on the property today.  The contractors start Monday and it is going to be a total GUT job.  We will spare a few things...but not much.  I would love it if you would all follow along on the RENO journey.  Here is the link again:

Sometime soon, I will also add a bloglist on that blog of some of the home decorating blogs I follow that have some really GREAT stuff.

So I hope to see you over there!  I may be posting more over there than here for a while.  I'll just have to play that one by ear.  We are getting our current home ready to sell and there are many memories here..it is going to be a very bittersweet journey.

I hope you are all doing well!  Talk to you soon.

Our November Orphan Ministry Project: An Orphan's Wish

Every November our church sponsors an Orphanage somewhere around the world as part of our Orphan Sunday program and we raise funds throughout the month of November.  This year we have chosen to work with An Orphan's Wish.  They have the House of Love in China, a special needs home for children with club foot, cerebral palsy and other health conditions.  We are excited to see how God will bless this effort and multiply all of the offerings!
