Time for a Makeover....

I've been busy, busy, busy....this past week I updated Shelby's room....

When we moved in Shelby took the room across from my room, this was a smaller room, but it was the one she wanted.  This past week Ive moved her and all of her stuff to a bigger bedroom.  This gave her more room and a bigger bed.

Today I plan on changing her old room into the guess room....

OH why do I do this to myself...lol  I love changing things around, even if it makes me crazy....

Card Making....

Me and Shelby spent this past weekend making Halloween Cards....We had so much fun that we went to the local craft store and purchased more supplies...Watch out Hallmark...lol

I want to start on our Christmas Cards next week....The plan is to stamp them and color in with water color pencils...

Friday....

Well I went into work, but only for a short time...I have places to go and things to buy....
I hope to have a great weekend, and enjoy my family....It's been a long couple of weeks....

I get my new living room furniture on Saturday...:) 

Have a Great Weekend, EVERYONE!!!!

Mr. Spooky...He scares the heck out of Jax's...



Family Room...This is the room we use most...

Friday I spent the day decorating the inside of my house.  I have a few more ideas that I didn't have time to get to just yet.  Most of the decorations are left over from last year.  I did add to the look with the black spider web pannels that I changed into curtains.  I started the day out with my coffee and a thought that I need to see just what I have in the basement.  I need to see what I had and what I might need for this Haunting Halloween, when I decided to put a few things out and that started the monster in me, I couldn't stop decorating.  The black panels you see in the photo's was new...but I had only purchased 1 so now I'm running out the door to buy 10 more.....lucky for me they had 12....  I also added the orange candles that you see beside the TV.

When Shelby came home she was in awwww.  She said WOW...I Love it...better then anything.  My favorite this year is the bat's....I just hope they come off the wall as easy as they went on....or I will be painting before Thanksgiving.....lol

After a full day of decorating, then cleaning up my mess, we went to Applebee's for a nice relaxing dinner.
(that was my selling point)  I was so tired from going up and down the steps I just needed to sit and have a good Mudslide...

Saturday Mike went outside to decorate...I haven't got to take any photo's yet, but hope to get home from work before the sun goes down so that I can get some good photo's...

The yard looks great...We have the blow up Headless Horseman, a huge Spider, Ghost, Pumpkins, and a great new Arch to walk under....I have large spiders that moves down the windows when you pass, and we have fog michines and lazer lights....This is the second year that we have created floating ghost that start at the top of my second story and float down to the ground...AWESOME.....Good strong fishing string makes the difference....just don't get tangled up...lol 

As I came home from work last night, their was kids everywhere...a mom with her son year old checking out our large spider, a dad and his son walking under the spooky arch way, and a mom with her daughter standing at my porch looking at all the decorations....then in my garage I found 5 pre teens...lol  My daughters friends....it was a fun feeling that my decorations was bringing out the neighbors for a good look. 

One of the things we keep in mind is NOT to scare the little one's but to put a little spook into it for the older ones....and I think we have done that...:)

A little about me.....

My name is Susie and I am a wife of 24 years and a mother of 4 daughters.  My oldest daughter, named after me (Susie) is 24, Chelsea is my second daughter and is 21, Michelle is my third daughter and she is 19, and Shelby who is my baby and is 12...I work with my husband at a trucking company where we are agents.  Three years ago we moved 5 hours south of our home to take on a new adventure, and I have never looked back.  I love our new home and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to grow and to find a life of my own. Sure I miss the family get together, sometimes...but the freedom I have now is awesome.  If you have ever lived close to your family, you know what I'm talking about...:)  No more drama daily.  Well almost, you have to keep in mind I have teenage daughters, and with daughters you also get all the girlfriends that no one understands and that my friends is DRAMA, at all times...

I like arts and crafts, I love the country look but my husband hates the country look, so I try to keep everything in a french county look...I sneak country in every now and again, that's a little tricky, but he doesn't seem to mind the tuscany/french country look as much.


This is Gemma Grace



I feel that my house should and will look like a catalogue at all times, and this drives my family nuts...but it's how I'm wired. Who doesn't like to come home to a home cooked meal (thank you Mr crock pot) and a fresh clean house?  I know I do...

My husband is my high school sweetheart and he does whatever he can to make me happy.  He helps around the house, he's great at cooking, and he goes for walks with me in the evening.  He even puts up with my two little dogs...Jaxson and Gemma.

I have found that writing makes me feel stronger and happier, so I decided to take this blog and make it my own....I'm not much of a writer or very good with words, but I'm going to do it just the same....:)

If nothing else, I just might learn something about ME....
