Rush Rush Rush

I'm in a rush...still knee deep in bathroom remodel. So far we've installed insulation, drywall, flooring, the bubble tub and it's framing and I've just started on the river rocks. I must have been on drugs the day I decided I wanted river rocks...it's a very slow, tedious process of installing them one at a time. (I know...I know...I could have gotten the 12x12 mesh tiles with them already glued on and it would have made my life simpler, but a 40lb bag was cheaper...lol)

Christmas was wonderful...having all of my children under one roof was all I could have asked for!! Now dealing with trying to get our gifts to WORK was another story!! Seriously...48 hours spent on 3 different MP3 players. Finally got Robert's and mine filled with music and videos...but Kat's was being stubborn. (It's now at a friend's house and hopefully she will be able to figure it out this week.)

Managed to find a bit of time to scrap a page...though I must admit I cheated. I used a quick page and just added a few embellishments.

It's Almost Christmas...

and I'm rushing around like a chicken with it's head cut off. My youngest son, Robert, arrived home for the holidays on the 14th and it's brought me more joy than I can express having all of my family under one roof again.

My kitchen should have been finished by now, but I'm still waiting for the cast iron shelf brackets. And until they go up, I can't install my backsplash. OH...which reminds me, instead of using a tumbled, marble mini tiles, I've chosen river rock. Reason being...it's CHEAP and once I'm finished with my bathroom remodel (that's now on day 17) I'll have a ton of it left over.

Yup...day 17 of bathroom remodel...2 years in the making. So far we've replaced the flooring, installed insulation in the outer walls, replaced drywall, redone electrical, replaced part of the ceiling, and moved plumbing for my bubble tub. Now it's down to the details...installing river rock as a backsplash and on the framing for the bubble tub, paint the walls and ceiling, install and paint trim around windows and then i get to decorate!!

I haven't had much down time...but have managed to do a couple of scrap pages.
