random… whatever
• Yesterday Eden graduated from Kindergarten. I cannot begin to say how incredibly thankful I have been for her teacher this year and that she made it into her school. And I cannot begin to say how strange it is that she’s already finished with kindergarten! I feel like I’m going to turn around and my life will be over.
• Tuesday we hopped over to Denver to look at some campers that Jim found on craigslist tres cheap. We ended up buying the first one we looked at for just $175. It’s older with wood paneling and gold linoleum, but it’s structurally sound and it was SUCH a good price. I’m working today on sewing AB curtains. And hopefully will get in to paint tomorrow. I’ve got before pictures, I just left my camera at home today.
• Did we mention that we also bought a truck? It’s an older GMC in pristine shape. And it will mostly sit parked at our house. Gas is SO expensive! But we’re super happy to have a decent camping vehicle and it will come in handy for hauling things.
• What else? We have been SO busy with fixing up the yard and garden, working on the house and now our new camper project. But I always find it good to be busy… if only it afforded me more time to blog! Soon as I have time to sit down and figure it out, I’ll set up my cell phone so I can blog via text message. Until then, Twitter is a good substitute. I’ll have pictures up soon(ish) of the truck and camper and Eden’s graduation.

Yeah, that’s a great deal on camper! That’s cool. I think that is the only way I will ever get Kevin to camp. Which is fine with me, I’m kind of done with tents myself.

wow – that’s a great price! Don’t you just love CL!? I never thought about looking for a camper on there (and I think it’s sweet that it’s got wood paneling! groovy retro!) and my husband REALLY wants one (we live in Loveland, Colorado, by the way.
Totally off topic – we have a 70’s fab basement (complete with wood paneling!) and there is a bench that has cushions on it so that it’s seating and storage. The cushions are vinyl and we’re thinking of covering it with retro vinyl similar to what they had in the 50’s malt shops? They have it at JoAnn. Anyway – do you have any good, sound advice for how to do this, by any chance?! :D

$175 for a camper? No way! I’ve love a camper or a popup to take out to the lake or into the Ozark Mountains for the weekend, but alas, I find no great deals like you did.

That’s great that you found such good deals.
Hey, I saw where they interviewed you in the paper :)
Also, I could use your ideas on projects in our house – it’s on my blog. You’re definitely one of my crafty, creative friends and I am definitely NOT in home decorating!
