The next dress is a wedding dress. An 
army wife actually had this made from 
the parachute that saved her husband 
life!

Cleaning out my STASHES!
Yes, I said stash...ES.
These are going. I am giving
them to my son in laws sister,
she has 3 kids, home schools and
they do craft art projects. Plus
there are some necklaces and
bracelets I bought for the beads
that I never took apart. Her
daughter will love those.

AND...with that I have to 
say that I still have 
TONS 
of beads. If I don't start
using some of these then I 
will be saying good bye to 
more. 
Over a yr ago I got rid of
hundreds of dollars worth
of cross stitch. Material, 
every color of thread and 
books....just gave them 
away. About 3 yrs ago I 
did that with a crap load of
knitting/crochet yarn.

Home from work,
fed the furs...
telling myself that
I need to get my 
rear up and load
boxes in the car and 
take a load to my
new home.

Later

Plenty of time for moving a bit later. Sometimes you do need to sit and rest. That dress is stunning.

I can't wait until you're all moved and can relax. That will be awesome.

Have a fabulous day. ♥

That first dress is pretty but I'm not crazy about the feathers at the bottom. What an awesome thing to do with that wedding dress.
I need to go through my stashes and get rid of stuff. I've got way too much.

That dress is a stunner!

I'm getting ready to launch a clear out of old art/craft supplies; things I won't be doing anymore. It's a good feeling.

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
