I'm still alive...

So there I was, knee deep in plumbing contractors doing interviews to get proposals (of the plumbing kind) on our basement. I have the drawn out plans of my future paper crafting/quilting space aka biggest ever My Scrapbook Nook. I've got framing plans, electrical plans and of course the plans for my new half bathroom that's for me in my basement. I will have 2 windows although they are on the small side they will let in a little light or a slight breeze.

Contractors out here seem to take their sweet time getting back to you with their bids. After contacting over 20 companies and having them come out and me calling all of them to remind them to get their bids submitted- only 5 have done such. We made our decision the other day and now to get started on the framing. I still can't believe that I've not unpacked any of my paper crafting supplies or tools. Then again where would I put them? I mean really...where? I've got all kinds of pottery stacked upon the chrome shelves (stuff I need to consign that's just taking up space).

I'm looking into starting up a business- on that helps people to declutter and organize their homes. I will also service those that need help in staging homes for the resale market. I'd say that I have quite a lot of experience in that! Simply put I'm putting all of those military moves into use and will  use my knowledge to help people to get their homes ready for the resale market or simply to help them realize the potential in what they have and help them to reorganize.

Busy Bee Design Studio is open for business!

I finally finished listing my first "batch" of items over at my Etsy shop Busy Bee Design Studio, oh my gosh that seemed to take for forever! Of course I had to experience some computer issues (we lost internet for a while). But alas I was able to get it all entered. A friend asked me if I would be selling some of my nifty bags and the answer is YES (insert big smile here). I've been hemming and hawing over what my shop name would be for this past week, LOL! It's something that I've been toying with for a while and then once I decided to do it (open an etsy shop) I had to decide on a name- one that reflected my busy life. Hence the Busy Bee aspect :-) I have lots more to add to my shop and I'm working on it getting it set up. It takes hours listing all of this stuff- of course the 2½ hour nap I took did set me a little behind. Look for more goodies to be listed in the coming days.
