UncategorizedWhew…I Can Breathe…Sort of April 8, 2014Great title, I know, but that is totally how I feel. Be prepared, this post will be random. Our Home Depot project was due yesterday and obviously CWTS Round 3 was due late Saturday night. So to say that the last week has almost killed me feels like an understatement. I feel awful saying that because I’m so grateful for these opportunities. But y’all, I’m tired. I’m just so tired. But thankful. And proud. Y’all, I can’t tell you how proud I am of these recent projects! I don’t mean that in a conceited way, but we worked our butts off and what we produced just feels like me. And I love that. I cannot wait for y’all to see what we came up with for our new patio! They’re working on an editorial calendar now, so when it’s going live, you know I’ll be sharing away! I’ll be able to share a lot of details after it goes live on the Apron Blog, but until then, here’s a small little sneak peek of our Eclectic Bohemian Backyard. Ooh, I love it so much!!!! We finished it up on Sunday afternoon. Cutting it close, I know. But we poured our heart and souls into this area. We’ve been working hard on it for a month and a half. Then Creating with the Stars came along. We kept working on the patio, but our time was definitely divided. Anyway, I shot all Sunday afternoon and then just sat down by the fire and stared at it. I seriously couldn’t move. I don’t know how many times I looked over at Chris and said, “This is just incredible,” and “Oh I just love it so much I could die.” Finally, Chris had to tell me it was time to come inside and go to bed. I just love feeling that way about a space that I worked so hard on. It’s just right. *** Speaking of working hard, CWTS Round 3 Voting is up!!!! Y’all have to go over and vote for your favorite! This round is crucial because it takes the top 6 down to the top 3. And the projects are awesome! Y’all know I’ve let the results of this contest go. God’s got it handled like everything else, for sure. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care whether or not I make it on! Of course I want to go onto the final round! Go over and vote and you just may help us get there. Voting ends at 10pm tonight, so hurry, hurry! *** Remember the bar stool giveaway from last week? Thank y’all so much for entering! I wish I could give away a set to each and every one of you! But, using Rafflecopter to randomly pick a winner, I have to congratulate Ms. Angie from Angie’s Roost! CONGRATULATIONS ANGIE!!!

Jennifer @ Brave New Home says April 8, 2014 at 1:35 pm I can relate! I feel like sometimes it takes a couple of weeks before a project is over before I can actually enjoy it. Glad you’re loving how everything is turning out, we do, too ; ] Reply
