Sorry it's been so long, but...

We're in the midst of getting settled and we just got our internet working! We had to get satellite interenet since Embarq failed to tell us the truth about not being able to service us in our very RURAL property. How rural are we? Well, if you imagine the boondocks (or the "sticks", depending on where you're from!) and we live further out than that! It takes us about 15 minutes driving on 2 lane country roads to get to Walmart, but once we get to town, there's plenty of everything...even a Chick-fil-A, my favorite fast food stop! Yummy!

Country life sure is different! We have been eating lots of great homemade desserts made by my mother-in-law with fruit from our "mini-farm" and our girls barely complain about all the bug bites they're getting playing on the 1+ acres of cleared land we now own.

Cell service? Forget about it! We're lucky to get 1 bar! We just got long distance service straightened out yesterday and we STILL are living on the bare necessities of furniture while we wait for the movers to bring the rest of our stuff!

But, I do have all my scrapbook supplies and have already made plans to make a "Before and After" album for all the progress we've made. My in-laws have been a TREMENDOUS help painting, securing shelves, tearing out half-walls and watching the children.

So, my question is regarding "Before and After" albums or pages! I would love to know what you did, how you documented it and what types of embellishments you used. You can even email me a photo if you like!

Next week, I probably won't be writing again because I will be buried in boxes, but I will TRY to sneak away and post!

Scrapfully yours,
Susan W

P.P.S. I just read through my post and found a BUNCH of typos! Sorry about that! I think my brain is damaged from the oil based primer we were using. Those of you who have ever used it will know what I mean!
