Saturday at 11:08am we unloaded the last of the boxes and it only took us 2 hours to do it in! Granted I moved the majority of my clothes and my computer during the week, but the rest of the apartment was moved in record time! Not to mention, my kitchen and "girlie" room was decorated and put away before we even finished unloading the last of the boxes!
The secret to my little success?
4 of my best friends who put up with me being cranky for the first 30 minutes. :)
2 mothers who put all of my goodies away and made my house simply charming.
1 daughter + 1 daughter's boyfriend who put up with all of our jokes and wise cracks
1 Tahoe
1 Trailer
1 Whip-cracking-sarcasm spewing-Suzy
1 Dozen Doughnuts
Not to mention the stragglers who made it in at some point during the morning only be left with, "Is there anything else to do?"
For the most part, the house is pretty much put together. I still have quite a bit to do in my office because I am just not feeling the love, but we are getting there! I am really leaning more along the lines of making my office a photo haven. I have a TON of pictures of my family and my friends and I hate that they are just going to waste in photo albums and photo boxes. I want to see my friends, I want to see my kids, I want to remember the funny moments and the great trips and I want them to inspire me and make me smile while I work. My only issue is I am not creative in the least bit! I am not really looking into doing nine million frames all over the walls and I would like to be able to easily change them out as I have new pictures printed.
My mother suggested doing a trellis on the wall and tucking the pictures into the grooves, but I am totally open to any suggestions you all may have! I need my groove back! :)
I am hoping to be back in the swing of blogging by the weekend so until then...
Happy Organizing!

Suzanne, well done on your move. You deserve a medal!
An estate agent phoned the other day to see if we were interested in selling and I said "not on your life" :) Too much schlep!
I tagged you to share some things that make your life simple :)

Oh my gosh! Speaking of which, did I just got the Christmas card you sent me! he he he THANK YOU!!!
Yes, I think we are done for a while. The kids have threatened mutiny and I think my friends have too.
Good for the kids - so will you post some pics?
I display my photos woven inside a bunch of ribbons that are pinned into my walls. I also have a large collage that have been blue tacked up (bad for the walls I know, but it certainly is a cheap option)
