One Happy Carrot

Good morning and I hope that you're having a good Friday so far. I'm in the usual mad rush to get this posted before the "face lift" starts on the house and I have a team of construction people here. We had a very harsh winter that did some damage to some of the outside structures in a cosmetic way, hence the face lift. I could probably get one myself for the amount of money that I'm going to have to put into this that somebody else will benefit from. Sigh. That always seems to be the story of somebody else enjoying your sweat equity and checkbook. Even at the new house in CA, while we saved almost a million dollars, it needs some TLC as it's been vacant for at least 6 months. Merry Maids will probably take one look at the house and run. It's just dirty on the inside and needs a good cleaning and I'm not doing it either. After that, there's some small yard work items, I'd like to put plantation shutters up in the bedrooms as we have them here and love them. There are already plantation shutters in the main living areas. They lend such an elegance to any house. The carpet needs a good steam clean and I'd also like to paint. After painting this house, which is getting some rooms repainted to more of a neutral color, I'm definitely outsourcing this task at the new house. I'm pretty much Martha Stewart'd out. I think I'll start sharing some pictures if you if you don't mind.

I wanted to share a fun quick and easy card with you that I've managed to make, which took me about 10 hours because I'm just running positively ragged. I do hope that you enjoy it though and thank you so much for stopping by to visit me today and listen to me whine and complain. Please keep me in your prayers because I really need them. God bless you and have a wonderful day in the Lord! Today's Treasure: 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10
