So today's LPS Challenge is a mix of three colors: kraft, blue and pink...this was harder than I thought!This is Katie Whale done up on a Joy fold card. Couldn't even tell you where the DP comes from since it has been sitting in the ol' stash forever. Seriously, I am spending time this week cleaning up my paper...I must!
Positive note of the day: Well, due to changing economic circumstances, we are listing this house this week. We are all moving in together to ease the challenges of showing a house with three little kids. The house is my in-laws old house which is on the end of a cul-de-sac. All three kids love this area so much since they can play out front without cars zooming by. Moreover, there are a ton of kids that live close. For T especially, this is not only ideal but necessary (at seven, that boy needs to be run!). He plays hockey for hours but also finds other things to do with his friends. Charlotte plays cheerleader (despite the chill in the air this week, she wore her bathing suit all weekend) but does take part in the various activities (I think she really does live and breathe the moniker of "Julie, your cruise director" that I have given her).
Don't know any more about what will happen but am taking it moment to moment and day to day. And, should you have anything negative to share, don't bother. I am already stressed enough (eczema breakout) and really don't need to hear it...
ETA: I am overall positive about the move. We have done a great deal to improve the whole situation (just in case this reads negative...it shouldn't). However, change is a challenge and moving ain't no picnic.

You do what you think is best for your family, Allison. Every day is different and anyone that pokes badly at YOUR choices should have to spend a day in your shoes. No matter what, I am here. I wish I were moving! But then I look around and know I would do all the work. Poop. And Pooped. Hope your old house sells quickly and that your new house is filled with joy.
You are the best one to take the best decision for you and your family! I'm sure everything will turn for the better. I know change are stressing, but you've done it before, you will be able to manage this one too I'm sure! As you said on moment at the time. ((((((HUG))))))
Big hugs girl! I know how stressful things can be but I'm happy to see you staying upbeat and taking moment by moment.
I think one of the good things about moving is that I get to purge all that crap I've been keeping FOREVER for no good reason....lol
Your card is adorable!
Love little Jena and the whale! Such pretty papers and I don't have a clue where they come from either! Keep your chin up and happy thoughts coming your way!
I'm right there with you with the moving! We had two broker open houses and one public open house this past week and I want an offer already! Hang in there - give the kids jobs, like turning on all the lights before a showing, turning them off after it's done. Justin has been great and even makes my bed now if I "forget."
Drop me a line if you need to rant about the stress! Fingers crossed for a quick sale - it sounds like you are in a great area! If we were moving to Calgary, we'd look at your house :)
Such a pretty card, so soft.
Good luck on the move, my thoughts are with you. You have to do what you have to do. Big hugs!
Im sure your move will be fabulous and bring some great new adventures, best luck to you and your family.
