WOW! Has it Really Been five Months!

I am slowly getting caught up on all my projects and getting back into the swing of updating everything in my life.  This past month, we have had at least 10 people retiring and it put into a thinking mode about my own retirement.  Which led me to, what kind of craft room I would like to have and how I would change the one I presently have.  I came accross an idea that was appealing to me-it seems that some ladies are finding old travel trailers, parking them in the backyard and fixing them up and using them as their craft/woman cave sort of places.  The more I thought about this, the more I liked the idea.  I could have a getaway place and not have to take up an area of the house with my crafting things.  Besides, with the space so small, I'm almost certain only one other person and possibly one of the dogs would be all that would fit inside-my escape paradise.  I came accross a picture of a person who had just located one of these trailers and is going to start the fix-up soon.  As I did some research on this, I found some great ideas for decorating and really making this space my own.  I am now in the process of collecting pictures, themes, and ideas to make this a/my reality when the time comes.  Here is the pictures of what I am talking about:


I just think this is the cutest! 

In addition to thinking about retirement, I have been cleaning out closets and figuring out what to keep and what to donate.  My biggest problem is that when I take things to donate to the thrift store and feel a sense of accomplishment, I then make a quick turn around in the store and end of defeating my purpose by buying more "stuff" that I "can't live without" and dragging it home thereby defeating the purpose of the original intention which was to gain more room! 

Anyway, I am going to try and be a better blogger, at least once a week.  I really enjoy the blog world and having a permanent record of things that I have done or am doing.

Ta-ta for now!!!!
