this is not a knitting blog
it is the cosmetic renovation of a 1979 condo blog. :) not much knitting going on, although i did order 2 holiday knitting books that have tons of stuff i want to whip up for christmas gifts. will it happen? only time will tell! i have every intention, but these days things are taking about 4x longer than i plan (like getting back online as you can tell).
but enough about that, the holiday minty goodness is arriving on the store shelfs. YUM! and of course, my inability to resist the limited edition candies (suprisingly, the inside out ones were good, but i only eat them frozen). i actually did resist the mint m&ms they had at the drug store yesterday. for now.... (thuy didn't you have a thing for the minty m&ms too??)
and here was the reason that for the first time in my life i did not carve a pumpkin. you do not know the profound sadness i felt.
the living room. still not done, NOTHING in this place is really done, but at least i received my new couch and ottoman. oh, and yes, the biggest change of all, laminate flooring throughout the main living space. YES!
so there you have it, my first post into blogland from my new, wonderful abode. i plan to share better pictures soon, once things look a bit more decent. i also hope to have knitting to show you! ok, i feel like i have so much to say since it has been so long, but i must sign off now and finish my moving announcements. cheers everyone!

You're back! Moving in and getting settled must have been time-consuming! I love the picture of your living room. It looks so chic.

Your place looks awesome! Great job! :)
Yea! You're back! I know you've been busy, but I've missed you. The place looks great. All your hard work will pay off. Hope to see you soon!
Hey, nice sofa and ottoman!!! And the floor looks really great.
That space looks PERFECT for a Knotty Knitters gathering!!! ;)
Hope to see you soon sweetie
Looks great, Amy! I'm so jealous of your floor. Me want.
And is it just me, or do those Junior Mints look like they're bleeding???
LOVE the ottoman, especially the color!! So when is the housewarming soiree?! ;o)
Love the flooring! It looks like you are doing a great job getting your new home together. (and much faster than me...hehe).
The place looks seriously fab! Can't wait for more shots!
And I haven't seen those inside out Junior Mints- very cool!
Hi another sticks in seattle person here! Love your living room! I am desperately trying to talk my husband into tearing up the carpet so we can have wood floors.
Great new place you got there.
Good luk in the new home. It looks very cozy.
And I can't wait for the knitting you put out soon.
Good luck ...
I love the clean look of your new place.
I adore Jr. Mints. I only eat them at the movies, though.
Oh, Sweetie...have you not seen the Hershey's Kisses now for the holiday's with peanut butter, choclate cherry and mint flavors inside? Oh, my are they good. I think I'm in trouble.
My family just moved across the U.S. and had a great experience with our movers. They simply could not have been nicer, more reliable and more considerate. As we were completing the move, the moving company gave me some complimentary moving cards to send out with our new address. However, the cards were not personalized and looked like a standard, cookie cutter cards. I went online and found three great sites that have lots of moving cards:
http://www.cardspersonalized.com
http://www.cardsshoppe.com/Moving_Announcements/Moving_Announcements_Cards-9-1.htm
http://www.express-invitations.com/moving_announcements/Moving-Announcements-Housewarming-Invitations.php
All three sites allow you to add your own wording and then preview your cards before you buy. They even have lots of sample wordings and sayings to choose from. I ordered from them and was very pleased, especially with their same day shipping service.
I knew that moving to our new home was going to be very traumatic for the entire family, so I wanted to find a way to give everyone our new address. I searched the internet and found several good sites that offered real cute moving cards that could be personalized, Personalized Moving Announcements Cards, Custom Moving Announcements, Printed Moving Cards and Housewarming Invitations. I also wanted to order invitations for our housewarming party so all these sites had excellent ones. I ended up buying my moving announcements cards and housewarming invitations from Cards Shoppe and was very pleased. Both personalized cards turned out great!
