DIY and Cleaning

The title says it all - thats all I've been doing for the last week. The house is now looking so good we almost don't want to move! (well not really! lol) We had an auctioneer come round today and we have decided that the sign will go up on monday week (after the election!) so hopefully the politicians will have sorted out the stamp duty issues by then! On the plus side though wehada sneak peek at our new house on friday last and OMG it is gorgeous! The space and light are just fantastic and I am full of ideas! As for the view from the top floor -well its not the sea - but it is fantastic - 100 year old trees and horses grazing in green fields. The house is ahead of schedule so it looks like we will get in in september at the moment!

Crafting wise I ahven't been doing anything at all other than sorting all my stash - I have to send some on holidays to richards parents house so have to decide what goes and what can stay and still have the living room clear for viewings - I can see myself taking lots of trips up to blackrock to retreive some esential item! I must make Abbie's birthday invites though before I pack it away - I can't believe that she will be three in less than two weeks - where is my baby going? I took loads of photos of her in the last few days but I can't get my camera and pc to talk (once again) so will have to upload later - Richard is going to buy me a laptop for my birthday so hopefully that will be more cooperative! I might even manage to wangle it as an early present!

I was sorting through Abbie's birthday photos from last year and I found this photo that I love but haven't scrapped yet taken in fota last year - Abbie(wearing the flowers) is holding Richard's hand and Paul (Emily's dad) has Ciara by the hand with Emily being Miss independant in the middle!

Daddy's girls!
