Packing & Moving Day

The movers will be here soon to pack up what we are taking with us to Calgary.   They are taking it with them today and will  hopefully deliver it to us not long after we arrive.  If they don't, well then we will be eating out (which I don't mind at all) and Oliver and I will be spending a lot of time exploring the area since all we have is a bed and TV.

What a hard job deciding what to take and what not to take.

They are  here, gotta go........!!!

Thought I was going to be able to post a picture but they were in and out of here in 3 hours.  That has to be a record, they were quite excited to have a short Friday ahead of them.

I do have to mention that my lovely daughter Katie graduated last Sunday from The Ohio State University with a degree in Industrial Systems Engineering, cum laude.  What an amazing young adult she has become.

Now off to clean the house and run errands before Katie and Alex (the boyfriend whom we adore) arrive.  So looking forward to a great weekend with all the kids home.  Oh yea, Blaine arrived last night about 8:30, it's now almost 1:00 p.m. and we have not seen him today, still sleeping.  Since it is his spring break I will just let him sleep!!

Hunting & Gathering

OK, We are now waiting for the moving company representative to show up so we can get an estimate on what we want to ship to Canada.  Hopefully he will make it here after our 6- 10 inches of snow we got last night.  Will it every end????

I am in the hunting and gathering phase of the move.  I have to make sure I have things to keep me busy!  If you like to journal and scrapbook you really need to check out Blue Moon Scrapbooking.  They carry items from 7gypsies and Tim Holtz which are amazing.  I am so excited about the 7gypsies products, they are old and worn looking papers and books,  I just received their library drawer which I can't wait to play with.

Off now to meet the moving rep then off to work, wish me luck out there in the snow today.

Preparing to move

In one month we will be moving from Ohio to Calgary, Alberta in Canada!!!  We will be living on the 4th floor of a condo in the city with a dog.  It's starting to get exciting.  I will be shipping a lot of my sewing and knitting, and Oliver (aka Condo dog) and I will be hanging out and exploring the city.  I have lots of quilting projects to finish before we leave so I am now off to piece some baby quilts and then back to longarm for some more quilting.
