This has been a whirlwind last few weeks. I have been a cleaning monster for the past several weeks, then this week I kind of hit a wall and it has taken me all day to do my "chores." I hope to get back on track next week. We will have a much needed family break this weekend. Hubby and I are joining my daughter and her 3 children at the beach for a 3 day weekend. Could not believe I actually talked my hubby into taking tomorrow off work. So next week I am going to get on a schedule!!! I also have neglected my blog lately mainly because I was going to go back and reread some tips and hints that my blog designer over at Blog Designs by Sheila gave me. Well to no avail one of the things I accomplished first after school got out was to clean out my inbox in my email. I carefully labeled things and put them in folders that I wanted to keep...fast forward to today and low and behold that folder is empty! YIKES! So I guess I will email Sheila and beg for some assistance.

One reason for taking so long to complete chores this week is I have been taking this course over at Jessica Sprague's website. She offered a free Photoshop class for her 5th Birthday Celebration and I signed up. I have taken many classes over at her site and absolutely love them...so easy to follow. So if you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements I would recommend some of her classes.

Another thing that I have neglected was to send out the prizes for the comments on My New Design post. Some of you I know how to get in contact with and some I do not. If you were someone who commented...no matter what # please send information of how I can send you a little surprise.

Hopefully, I will begin to update my blog and let all of you readers know how my adventure of being a SAHW is progressing. Please, please, please though do a favor for me...when you come to my blog and read the post please take the time to make a comment. I sooooo enjoy reading the comments and it encourages me and lifts my spirits. They just make my day!!

I will leave you today with a little something I made in my Jessica Sprague class that is going to hang on the wall of my newly decorated guest bathroom.

My New Design!

I am soooooo very excited to unveil my new blog design! The amazingly, talented Sheila over at Blog Designs by Sheila created and designed this template for me. She was fabulous and wonderful to work with and her communication was quick, great, and very precise. She really was looking out for what I wanted and I am so extremely pleased with all of the hard work she did to get this completed.

To celebrate my new design I am having a wonderful,  little surprise going on. The next 11 people to comment and follow my blog will receive a little surprise from me. Make sure in your comment to leave me a way to get hold of you.

I have several things to catch up on now that the blog design is installed and will be doing that over the course of the next few days. So keep checking back to see what is new at "Fresh and Renewed"
