Trash 2 Treazure Face Lift

Have you noticed?  I decided to give my Blog Logo a new look.  I have been inspired once again by my friend Tina.  I noticed her beautiful new picture on her blog and thought.....what better way to start off the new year than to start with a new picture to update my blog!  I searched and really tried to find something appropriate to the name of my blog.  How did I do?  What do you think?

What's Been Going On In My Life......MOVING!

Ok, it's been a while since my last post. So I guess I will update you with what has been happening in my life......

Kim and I have made a huge decision in our life! We have decided that we needed some changes in our life and that we were on the fast road to destruction if we didn't make these changes soon. As our friends know, Kim's health has been horrible this past year and with all of the stress of everyday life we decided to downsize our life so that we can ease the pressures of this world we live in and get busy spiritually (which is where we wanted to be). Our happiest times were always when we were busy in serving Jehovah. So we decided to get rid of the extra burdens that were weighing us down. This meant getting rid of our huge house and a whole lot of stuff! Well that was not easy especially with this economy!

We have been blessed with the offer of renting my Uncle Ducky's house which was available to us at just the right time. We took the offer and we have been updating a few things on the house. Although we have been making Uncle Ducky's house our own, we really feel that it will always be his home. In fact Uncle Ducky made a plaque that said "Uncle Ducky's house is Love". I cherish it and I will always keep it here because it belongs here in his home and it keeps him close to my heart.

So between our crazy move over the holiday weekend and our circuit overseer visit that week and the circuit assembly the following week and I also have been voluteering my time with the Regional Building Committee on a remodel of a Kingdom Hall in Lake Elsinore, life has been very crazy! But I am grateful for all of my family and friends who have helped us to get to this point in our life and who have been there through all of the chaos! These are some "BEFORE" and "AFTERS".......

After.......

I've been very busy organizing my things. You never know how much you have until you move from a 3200 square foot home to a 1,000 sq. ft. home. Yikes!!!

Inspirations.....

Now that I'm pretty much settled in I need a little nudge from my little friend who looks over me as I work....To GET TO WORK!!!!!

I am inspired by the things that make me happy. So I put together a few little niche's as my friend Tina would say...that will inspire me in my office and that make me happy. It's important to surround yourself with the things that make you happy, it makes for a productive and creative atmosphere.

This was made by a dear friend and I just cherish it! It reminds me of one that my aunt Dorothy had hanging in her home. My mom now has it.

BIRDS....who doesn't love birds!

I just love my new office!!!! I guess I will get to work!
