Window 'Mistreatments'

So, I got this AWESOMELY awesome idea from my favorite decorating blog The Nesting Place. This woman is THE Queen of 'budget' decorating. I mean her house is beautiful, but when you lift the fabric, you find it's an old re-purposed dining room table. AMAZING. I NEVER would have known and now I'm on the hunt for an old, small, round dining room table LOL.

Anyway, so she has started this trend called Window Mistreatments. You take fabric and hang it with clips and make it into a curtain, really, it's genius and it doesn't cost and arm and a leg for beautiful curtains....

So, I 'mistreated' my windows last night with my hubby. I only took one picture so far because one of the windows we did is blocked by some ugly totes and the bedroom windows need one more panel (we ran out of fabric) and a different rod. DH tried to 'substitute' and it was a FAIL.

So here's the kitchen window! One of them, the other still needs to be done, the window over the sink needs to be done and the door to the back needs to be done, but we need more rods LOL....I have to be able to open and close them to help keep the heat OUT..

So what do you think?!

On the move - AGAIN!

We are preparing to move to South Carolina. The good thing is, it's #4 on the Top 100 Places to Live list and where I live now, is much further down on the list LOL. Other positives are, it has 3 Local Scrapbook Stores (LSS's) and ALMOST everything you could ever need. The people are SUPER nice and it's really hard NOT to like it there. The bad things are that my friends don't live there, and I know no one, and that there is no IKEA LOL. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives, that's for sure!

Things have been incredibly stressful these last couple of days, in preparing for the move. To top it all off, I lost one of my camera cards, which had my most recent photos on it and my external hard drive disappeared, which has EVERYTHING on it! Yesterday, I asked my oldest to keep an eye on his brother while they were watching Spongebob Squarepants (my youngest's FAVORITE show) so I could close my eyes for a bit. I haven't been sleeping because of the move, the fact that my husband has been living in Greenville for about a month now, and my missing stuff. I was exhausted to say the least. So I was on the couch for about 5 minutes when I heard Kieran playing around with his computer. I checked on him to make sure he was OK and what does he have? My hard drive! The little mini-genius had put it into the bottom of HIS computer (it's a storage area for the little cards that go with his laptop). Anyway, so it's been found AND I found my camera card in the washing machine. Great place for it, but, it still works.
