Moving
1.) I had a sale on my Etsy site
2.) Xmas came and went (had a great time with my family and friends)
3.) Finally found a house to move into
4.) PACKING!
Yep, I especially hate #4! We found a place to rent as of yesterday and we are moving in 3 days! AAAAAHHHH!!!
I had some things already boxed, but not much. It's so hard to pack with 3 little ones. NOT FUN! All I can do is do a little here and there when I can and in between bursts of playtime and naps. I've got 2 more rough days of some MEGA packing (how can one collect so much crap in 4 years?) but it'll get done.
Very happy to finally have found a home. It's smaller than what we have now. But it'll be fine. Got to remember, we are just renting! We were just so picky on what was out there for rentals. Wanted to get the best deal, a good school for the kids and save some $. Well...we did do that. No pool and smaller, but it's just fine. I really felt at home in this house.
It's going to get some used to it...there is tile everywhere. I don't have the cabinet space as I do now and there isn't a 4th bedroom or den for the office so I will have to find some closet to stuff all my craft things. Most likely my things will be in boxes till our next move w/in our 9month lease. But I can see the windows open, the Gulf breeze flowing thru the house and many nights eating dinner on our covered lanai. The kids have a small back yard. A big change for them, they are used to our acre of woods and grass. But they like the home. And the best part...we have a boat lift for our boat right in our backyard. Just a hop, skip and a jump into the Gulf. Definately gonna soak up the water life in the next 9months b/c who knows if we will ever have the chance to live on the water again.
Yes, I said 9months. We know of 2 neighborhoods in the area that we want to buy a house in so hopefully we can find a good deal in one of those neighborhoods w/in that time frame. And yes, that would mean moving again...but there will be many things that I won't unpack...the garage will be full!
Well, I'm beat. Gonna turn in early b/c I have a busy day tomorrow. Till next time....

Hustle and Bustle
Now it's only 1 week left till Xmas and I still have some shopping to do (not much), tons of presents to wrap, 2 Xmas get togethers, loads of laundry, house hunting, a soccer game and my every day chores to do. UGH...bring on 2010!!!
Well...my Etsy shop is going to close for a few weeks just until I get settled in our new home (which we still don't know where) and I've got some items that I still have to list. I'll save it till next year! ;) But for now....
today is the last day of my MOVING SALE on Etsy http://www.themosyscrapper03.etsy.com All my items are 50% off in the store. Just have to mention 'MOVING' in the notes to seller at checkout for a PayPal refund! Get on it...there are some scrap supplies that are already under $2 and you get an additional 50% OFF!! I have some buttons and of course....JEWELRY!!!
Have a great weekend!

Houdini in the house!
Colton started climbing out of his crib the other day. Just one day decided that he was done with his nap and walked out with a big smile. Then the next day he decided to get out of his crib by himself again while Neal and I were sitting on the coach watching some tv. RISE AND SHINE!
And now this morning, thinking I was going to sleep in, I feel the dog jumping back and forth at the foot of the bed so I look and I see Colton smiling and trying to climb up. I then nudged Neal to wake up and gave him the "look at the foot of the bed" with my eyes. He looked and then nudged me to look too. HUH? So I did and Colton was up on the foot board...naked. LOL!
Oh boy! I asked him where he put his diaper and PJ's and all he said was "Momo. Nidne." That's Colt-talk for Morgan and Sydney. I thought either his sisters did that to him or that he left his clothes in their room.
So I get up and take him to find if he made a mess thruout the house, thankfully he didn't, and then I saw his diaper and pj's at the girls door to their room.
LOVELY! So, it looks like we have a problem on our hands! Stay tuned....

Whirlwind week
I have to start the dreaded packing up of the house too. UGH! It's bittersweet really. Our house has been up for about 6 month on the market and it is finally under a contract. Things are running smoothly shockingly and fast. Already had a pest inspection, home inspection and an appraiser come out this week. Not sure when we have to be out but it's gonna be soon I suppose. Xmas is coming though! Kids will be out of school soon too. I have to make sure to get the kids paperwork in before the winter break. They are excited and not so excited. I can understand.
So what are my plans for today?
1.) Maybe venture to Walmart and get a few things for xmas
2.) Promote an auction that I donated to that ends @ 5pm today BlogBidHope. Very happy to see it's up to $40 already! WOOHOO!
3.) Gather boxes and 'maybe' start packing
4.) Watching my 2 nieces this evening for a few hours.
Well, gotta get the kids ready for school. Off to my day.....

My crazy, creative week
Tooth fairy came that night and before she went to bed she mentioned that the tooth fairy was her parents. WHAT? Who told her such a thing like that? She says she read it in a book (don't authors know not to write that in books until kids are like in 5th grade or something?) Then she said that some of her friends in class say that she's not real. Well, I better have a word or two with some parents out there! DON'T RUIN IT FOR THE OTHER KIDS! MAKE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD TALK WITH YOUR KIDS ABOUT IT...ESPECIALLY IF YOUR CHILD HAS YOUNGER SIBLINGS! Well, tooth fairy came the next day and she was happy but still a little skeptical. Let's just hope that she still 'believes'.
Anywho, I've had 4 showing on the house. Neal has been out of town all week. Got the Xmas trees up and decorated. It's starting to feel like Xmas and the BIG day is getting closer and closer and I haven't even started shopping yet! YIKES! We have such a jam-packed weekend coming so shopping is gonna have to be put on hold till next week.
I've been very creative since Neal has been out of town and staying up VERY late every single night. Tonite I'm gonna sleep early and like a baby...snore!
Here are some of the creations that I put up in my Etsy store:
There are some buttons I made but haven't listed and also some pieces of jewelry that I will list eventually.
OH...did some jewelry for some giveaways coming up: Blog4u.com, 4FabFam, TipJunkie, and IndieSmiles. When they are up I'll post a link so you can join in on the contest!
I have a sale in my Etsy shop right now thru December 5th....BOGO!!! Here is a link: Doohickies & Such All you have to do is mention "bogo" in the notes to seller at checkout and I'll do a Paypal refund for the difference! Spread the word!

Weeks Review
Speaking of Christmas...I DID NOT go Black Friday shopping...I was sleeping! Well, until about 630 when my youngest daughter decided to wake me up. Grrr. Why do they do that?
It was my 10 year anniversary yesterday. Can't believe that 10 years we did this:
No not smooch...got married! hahaha Happy 10 years honey!
Today we are having a little UF vs. FSU get together with some friends and family. Just something low-key b/c I thought of it (duh) on Thursday. Next year we'll have to plan something a little early. Going to the store to pick up a couple of things for it this morning with the kids. Neal's gotta work for a short bit.
I've been adding things into my store to for my Black Friday Weekend Extravaganza. Here are some pieces:
You can find these and many more pieces at Doohickies & Such. All items have been marked down 20%! There are even scrapbook supplies in store too!

Rough night...great day so far
Let's see...what's going on now...
I have one sick little man. He had a fever last night and we both didn't get much sleep. He ended up falling asleep on my lap last night on the couch. That is NOT like him at all. He's always so go-go-go. So I knew that he wasn't feeling that well. When he fell asleep I layed him on the couch and I got up to make popcorn for Neal and myself. He ended up waking up and got up to sit next to me. We were watching Monday Night Football and he just sat and watched football and asked for popcorn. LOL He wasn't feeling too bad then. BUT...as the night went on his fever spiked up again. DRATS! Finally when I was ready to go to bed (of course he wasn't) I took him in my room and he feel asleep on my bed...for like 20 minutes. I was soooo tired. We ended up on his floor in his room. I was dozing on and off while he played with all his toys. You should have seen the mess this morning! I finally gave up and told him to go to bed (after I gave him more meds) and left the room. He fell asleep and I too...in my bed!
This morning he had a low grade fever and we've just been hanging out, doing laundry, cleaning house with the windows open. Enjoying the nice breezes that are coming from TS Ida. He seems to be doing much better. Thankfully.
Girls are in school, nap time is near and I've got one hungry belly! Gonna be productive now. Tata.
Giveaway reminder
Good luck. Winners will be announced tomorrow and a new giveaway(s) will be on tomorrow as well. Stay tuned!
