Vacation in the Adirondacks is over tomorrow. I did a few more watercolors while relaxing on the porch.

I tried watercolor for the first time yesterday

I haven't blogged in probably a month, but it's for very good reasons :) I found and am closing on a condo, all in less than a 40 day period. I've also been shopping for hardwood floors and other things for the new condo. It's strange, but shopping for and buying wood floors with Tim was oddly romantic. Maybe because it's such a big purchase? Who knows :) I've nearly finished up my project in Omaha, and feel like I'm in-between chapters at work right now. We'll see where my next projects take me (literally and figuratively). Right now I'm on a week long vacation with my sisters (pictured above). We've come to this same place in the Adirondacks every summer since we were little. It's so beautiful and so peaceful. I love me some Wisconsin, but Northern Wisconsin has nothing on Upstate NY. A week of this scenery and being away from work is going to be amazing. The place we stay at has been owned by the same family since we started coming. It also has the best home cooked meals. Paul, the owner, cooks family style meals every morning and night for everyone who's staying in the lodge. Only a few more hours until his amazing breakfast spread! Yum.

Couponing

If you want to redecorate your place, or buy any decor/crafts in general, then I have some amazing advice for you. My new favorite hobby? Going to hobby lobby, Michael's, and Jo-Ann's everyday and buying 1 item with their '40% off 1 full priced item' coupon. Michael's and hobby lobby have it on the retail-me-not app, Jo-Ann's has theirs on their website. Best thing ever.
