Today I'm being reluctant over at 4 Reluctant Entertainers. If you haven't visited Sandy's blog before, it's a place designed specifically FOR Reluctant Entertainers like me.
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, stories and so on regarding yesterday's post. As usual, y'all never cease to amaze me. You are full of information and funny ideas. I heart you all. We hope to move in the middle of June and yes, there are about twice as many windows as there are here. I feel a mistreatment coming on!
Monday, if all goes as planned, I've got something for you. Something exciting. Something free. You're gonna love it! I hope. I'll tell you more than you ever want to know about it on Monday.
The last of the tassels will be shipped out tomorrow. They are awaiting your love.
And if you are wondering what in the world that picture is up there with the upside down table and drums. I was moving furniture and I have three boys. Need I say more?

I just thought I'd let you know that the gold check fabric you have for your mistreatments is now on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I paid around $13.00 a yard for it. If you think you will need more to complete a room you may want to purchase it before it sells out.
Nester,
You have us very intrigued for monday. Also, please help June with her curtains. She needs you. And too, please tell us what to do when we want to put a piece of furniture away from a wall and have a lamp next to it and not have our 15 mo. old daughter trip on the cord. Not that that's me. I just imagine a lot of people probably feel that way.
I just read yesterdays post and you simply amaze me! I love your optimism, its something we should all strive for!
What do you mean IF all goes as planned? Things always go exactly as planned, don't they?
I guess we'll see!

:) I like the mark of boys! Rock on!
Nester - in my house the upside down table would have immediately been turned into a hot wheels ramp. :)
Good luck with your move! We all can't wait to see you make it beautiful.
xoxoxoxo
I'm all about free stuff! Tell you what...I live in NC, I'll just take you coming over to my house and making me some of that delicious pizza!
Hey there, I just read your reluctant entertaining advice, and I love it. I'm a VERY reluctant entertainer. In fact I haven't done it much because it seems like so much pressure! Thanks for your laid back ideas. I think you hit the nail on the head that when things are less than Martha Stewart perfect it puts people at ease and everyone can have a good time. Thanks!
Oh, I also featured a tablescape on my blog today that was inspired by your tablescape (and that good 'ol Home Book). Thanks!
Great - that you are letting go, looking forward and sticking to your goals...very encouraging :)
I knew right away when I saw the drum picture, cause I have 3 boys too! Genius! good luck with all the stress of moving! i'm over to the reluctant entertainers to check it out!

I wasn't wondering about the drum and upside down table picture because my little boy does that with furniture all the time. And, we're not moving...he just uses my tables and chairs as part of his playground. Don't you love boys and their imaginations!
So sorry you have the work of a move ahead of you. Sometimes unexpected things are just unexpected blessings.
Omw, what a difficult, difficult time for you all. prayers and an award on my blog for you!!
Moving and packing your beautiful home with three busy boys... you are one busy girl - but you have a great attitude!! Your optimism is admirable. I am saying a little prayer for you today.
YES I RECOGNIZED THE UPSIDEDOWN-TABLE-DRUM-STAND!!! I HAVE 3 BOYS TOO! PRICELESS!!!
HUGS FROM MAINE
Good for you, making good out of realy bad. I always believe there is something better in store when things like that happen to us. Keep up your good spirit.

I read yesterdays post....
I can't wait to see your new place...how fun...
It's amazing when things just work out for our good...

Bless your heart!!!

Squeeeeeee! More mistreatments? Fantastic! I cannot wait to see what you do.
So, does this mean your precious little house will be for sale on the cheap? Because I want it! I mean, sure, I could probably never live there (you know, the Army likes to send M all over creation and we follow), but I could rent it out until I could finally move in. I'd even let my renters paint the walls Tobacco Road!
Oh, goodie! I love it when you write how-to posts on mistreatments...can't wait to see what you come up with! :)
The picture of the drums was right below your comment on being a reluctant entertainer. I thought you were being cute telling us you were playing drums now!
I have three boys also, and my oldest son is teaching me to play drums. Because the noise isn't as bad when you're the one making it, I've found. Kind of.
I'm so glad things are working out for you. Don't feel bad about moving so much.. I've moved.. 4 times in 3 years haha. Now we are settled here until its paid off.. in 30 years lol. (we had a similar situation, the person we rented from SOLD the house while we were renting)
Things always happen for a reason, God never gives us what we can't handle. There is a lesson to be learned somewhere. :) I can't wait to see your new place! I'm so excited!
Good Luck on your move. I am excited for you and all of us. Just think of all the new things you will show us that will as always !
One of those tassles has my name on it. Can't wait to get it!
I should have also said in my comment on yesterday's post that if you have anything else to unload, you know where to find me. *wink* : )
Great blog. I always find so many interesting things to read here! I've chosen you for a prestigious award. Go to my blog to collect it and follow your directions!
Good luck with the move! And make those boys help you!!

I'm off to check out your fabulous post at 4 Reluctant Entertainers!
(no, I haven't seen it, but I'm SURE it's fabulous!)
Hope you're having a great day girlie.
Simple question... What is your pizza crust recipe? Blessings to you and your family.
You bring sunshine to each day I read you friend....I felt the same way about our move to Alabama but God had a plan that was so much more than I understood when the word came....You are blessing others girlfriend, God will bless you!
hugs!
Sweetie
I admit I took a second look at the upside down table and drums. My next thought was my kids would love that : ) Blessings on your move!! I am new to your blog and I love it~
Whoa--seems like I've missed something...let me go read your last post...hmmmm, I am reading about moving...
~Misti
Somehow I did miss the moving story! So sorry you are having to move, but I would be secretly excited too. MORE DECORATING POSSIBILITIES! Hope everything goes smoothly for you and can't wait to see your next place.
Happy day!
~Misti
I am sure everything will be great and the move is a blessing.. Maybe it's God's way of making sure you have plenty of things to post about ;) Jen
You left one very important thing out--YOU NEED TO POST THE PIZZA RECIPE!!!!!!! Please.
can't wait to see what you have in store!
xo
i was surprised when i read you are moving again! i can't imagine how you feel! but it is exciting to get to do a new place, and i wish you well packing up. just think of the fun putting things around the new house. are the boys ok with the move? can't wait for the mistreatments!!! jkj
Wow, You always have a great outlook on everything. Sad to hear about the foreclosure, but what a wonderful opportunity for a great new house, new mistreatments, hopefully a new craft room and lots of fun and exciting rooms to decorate. Hopefully it is closer to family again too.
