A Winner, Swaps, and Shelby

Well I am a day late at announcing the Winner for my May giveaway

Please join me in telling Linda of ParkersParadise  congratulations on winning

The five flowers and Bird Tucks

I have been cleaning please note my tiny little one bedroom house is not a fancy

Mansion but it is home none the less so I am going to share some pictures so

That I can boast about some swaps I have recently gotten

Our bathroom is so small there is no way to get a picture

When we got this place I wondered how on earth I would ever store anything in this bathroom, there is no linen closet and all the storage there is was the vanity??

so my towels have always been folded and stacked on the back of the toilet and

on top of my washer!!

So I had purchased a couple of shelves from Carol of The Firecracker Kid

The above shelf is also a towel bar

This one hangs just inside my door

I will be doing some decorating and putting things away in better out of sight places

soon because I just swapped with Carol for

The Cabinet over the toilet and the cubby on my toilet lid

Now I need to go and get my brown and red hand towels and wash cloths

that is what the cubby will hold

If you have never purchased from Carol and Timmy's Etsy Shop

you really need to check them out, I gave Carol the size I needed to make this cabinet

work for us and it is amazing it actually looks like it is built in

Sorry I can not get a good picture I tried *yes* even by standing in my bathtub LOL

Now my towels are neatly folded under the vanity

The penny Runner I swapped for from Michelle of Grannies Pantry

Now has a home on top of the cubby my colors in this bathroom will be

brown, black and red

I also did a swap with Tracy of the Pairie Patch

for some of her Hand made soaps that are pictured in the bowl I placed a couple in

my kitchen by my sink as well, Oh they smell heavenly and are wonderful

* the spots you see on some of my pictures is from my camera*

Oh how I need a new one so bad!!

I actually put my leaf in my Table and moved all of my crafting things

out of there, now all that is here is my sewing machine, I am looking for a desk with a hutch so I can move it to the bedroom as well

Our next project is to do a shelf above this window

*Well that and the fact that we have began the task of covering out deck outside*

More of Tracy's Soaps in a bowl and ignore the hummingbird feeder that I need to fill

And also another of Carols creations the Nesting Box

My sink and dishwasher sit in this island that divides the living room from the kitchen

When I say small I mean small we have less then 800 square feet but it is perfect for us

I will be replacing the blinds with the large slat wood blinds this year

I have got to touch this entertainment center up it had bad dings on it

so we touch painted and now I have to put a coat of poly on the entire things

And don't you just love the scratch on my TV, hubby swatted a fly last year!!

But we are getting a larger TV that will fill the spot up

And there you have it another cabinet on top from Carol

My things are all mismatched and that is fine with me The old minnow bucket use to

be my dad's eventually I hope to have the entire living room done in fishing decor

After all we live at the lake and if we aren't at home you can find us at the water!!

Oh that's right and this is what Miss Shelby thinks about it all

This is what Shelby thinks about everything these days LOL

she had a rough night last night and we thought she was going to have puppies EARLY

This is what she has done all day today poor baby is miserable

10 more days and we will have little shelby's!!!

and we hope this is where she will be having those babies at????

This is why I had to move things around today so I could find a place for her cage

she normally lays on top of the Old Trunk on her soft bed under the window and looks

outside, but now that is moved and I do not think she is happy about it at all!

No pictures of the bedroom today because I need to jump off of here and perform a miracle before hubby gets home from work this evening

OH my I have piles of crafting supplies back there and have no idea how I am

going to remotely find a place to put them at LOL

Congrats again to Linda on winning the giveaway
