BABY STEPS



Baby steps with a HUGE impact........
This will really be appreciated by my friends and family who have visited me. As most of you know - I am currently living in the lower level of the church while I s l o w l y finish the upper level. This will eventually be a guest suite - but for now it's my full-time living quarters. It will be wonderful for guests but is a bit crowded for my all day, everyday life.
Yesterday I put together a new bookcase - and cleared the table.........the table where I kept everything, and worked, ate , blogged, scanned, printed, read, ...need I go on ? Everything ( and more!) in that bookcase was on this kitchen table .
I have always planned for this bookcase - but never had the opportunity to pick one up until now. The placement faces the seating area of the suite and hides the side of the refrigerator - and we always love to do that !
AHHHH - it's a good day.

  8. I just found your blog and I think you ARE AWESOME. I love what you are doing and i can totally appreciate the babystep approach- unless you win the lottery and can have someone come in and do it all! We are also renovating our house- bought on a foreclosure- sat empty for 5 years with windows open, etc....but it is coming along. Some projects have had maximum impact and others are smaller but also necessary. Keep up the great work. I'll be watching!
