A quick update on my crazy life and some upcoming projects

I was never very good at keeping a journal, or marking things on a calendar, or even texting people back... So why doesn't it surprise me that I can't seem to keep this blog going? (Admit it, the number of posts is dwindling...)
I've been wrapped up in my life lately; I started a new job a couple months ago and my boyfriend and I are moving into a condo this June.
The condo belongs to my grandmother who was recently put into a nursing home, so there is a lot of moving out that needs to be done before we move in.
And a lot of remodeling.
That's good news for you! We will be painting and decorating and I'm sure I will have some crafty repurposing of old furniture or something for you all to see.
I recently saw a post where a old letter/printer tray was turned into a jewelry board to hang necklaces, etc. I just so happen to have a similar tray at the condo that is being used as a sort of shadowbox, but I think a jewelry board is a good idea!
I also have some plans for art ideas on the wall, an attempt to use fabric and starch to wallpaper, and some cleaning tricks that work for me and organizing ideas to help declutter our tiny apartment.
On top of all this... I am currently painting a flower pot to look like a screenshot from Mario. So you will probably see the final product from that in the near future.
So for now, I just wanted to update that I am not dead, and bid you adieu.
