Made it to Colorado!!!

Ok so it's been a while I know, but things have been crazy. We have moved to Colorado over the last two weeks. We are here we made it with all our stuff and the dog (Mr. Saffron). Every thing is in storage right now, not the dog. We are currently staying with my brother in-law in the Morrison area. They have a very nice house and have been very gracious to let us and Mr. Saffron stay with them for a whole month.

We found a very nice house to rent last week, but it's not available until the first of April, so we are stuck in transition mode until then. Which also means that all my crafting stuff is stuck in storage until after that time. Which means no crafting tutorials or posts until after then, also. BUMMER!

Lots is going to be happening over the next couple of weeks and months. I am currently looking for a part time job and beginning the application process to obtain my Massage Therapy license in the state of Colorado. I am very excited to get my license and set up a massage room in our new home. The city of Littleton doesn't have an regulations against doing massage out of your home. This is great because it means I can work from home and slowly build up clientele until I have enough to afford my own office again. Plus the house we are renting has plenty of room and rooms for me to do this plus have a craft space. YEAH! Oh and Chris (my husband) will get an office room too and a game room area. There is also a huge walk in closet in the fully finished basement that I will be ablte organize all my craft supplies and massage supplies in. Finally I will be organized and effecient, I hope.

Let's see what else.......oh yeah! Chris and I are going to attempt a new business venture. We are going to start our own sampler business, but with a couple of twists. I will tell a little about it now but go into more detail later. We are going to use recycled and recyclable packing only, for shipping the samplers. So they will look different every time them come and we will be helping the environment too. Also all of our samplers will be themed. And there will be absolutely no Avon, Mary Kay, Arrbone or anything else like it in our samplers. Oh and no items from recruiters or direct marketing people or anyone else along these lines. We promise to bring only good quality usable sample size items from indie artists, crafters, artists, etc.

So like I said lot's will be happening over the next two weeks to two months. But I will try to blog more often until things settle down. I don't expect to have any crafting posts until late April early May, it is going to take me a little while to get unpacked and organized. I want to take my time and do it right the first time so I don't have to do things over again or redo.

Well be sure to leave me some comments I would love to hear from you. And if you are not already following my blog, please do. Lot's of interesting things are coming in the near future.

Made It To Vegas

Ok so we are really moving to Colorado. Which means a lot, we have till Thursday March 5th to pack up the apartment in San Jose, CA move all if it's contents to our house in Las Vegas, NV (my husband will be doing this). I have till then to pack up the whole house in Las Vegas, yes that's right I said the whole house, by myself. Well at least he can help with little is left when he gets here on Monday March 2nd. But I won't be by myself all week. I also have company coming into town for Nascar races, my father in-law and one of his hunting buddies, so that will be nice.
Oh and until then no worries I have my playful pain in the but Saffron with me (border collie/black lab mix, 85lbs).

So I made it to Las Vegas babie. I drove in yesterday and got in at about 7pm after a nine hour drive from San Jose, CA. Unpacked the back of my truck got the dog settled and cleaned up his mess. He doesn't remember our house as home because it's been so long so he decided to mark the side of my nice new couch, little punk. (hence the pain in the but comment earlier) Hopefully because I was able to hit it with cleaner right away the couch won't be ruined by him or the cleaner. Luckily he has bad aim and got most of it on the tile floor next to the side of the couch.

Well enough about Mr. Saffron, more adventures with him later. I didn't sleep well last night so I am off to a slow start this morning, but I am drinking my glass of fruit and vegetable juice to get me going, it's great it has a whole days servings of fruits and vegetables in one 4oz glass and it's organic. Can't beat that.

So I have to go start looking for moving boxes now, get things organized, take pictures and post some furniture for sale on Craig's list. Gotta love Craig's list, best free classified website out there, as long as people don't have your postings deleted for unknown reason (another story, sorry). More to come on my moving adventures and how I supposedly have to organize and pack all my craft stuff along with my whole house and life in 1 week. Eeeeehhhhhh!!!!!
