My blessed mess...

I am blessed with a wonderful mess!

My sweet mamma has been helping me unpack and

 restack the new tchatchkie heaven!

two 39 gallon trash bags full of bubble wrap and 

2 of peanuts 24 boxes 

and this enormous pile of rubber bands...

Here is a close up of moms two favorite shelves

She also pointed out to me how many of the "girls" looked

like the fabulous Doris Day!

Here is the progress on the other side

And here is the full view of the new "digs"

I am hoping to be finished by weeks end, 

pray hard for that one girls!

Many new songs have been made up about the tchatchkie 

and many new forms of spelling and LOTS and Lots of jokes!

maybe I'll share some but not tonight...

Have a great week!

Lazy days of Summer

Pack, MOVE, unpack....

that has been summer and I am over it!

So with Bluebird Lane set to open Sept. 17th

I decided to not work 18/7 the last 2 weeks

and enjoy the kids and warm weather before I am

completely buried again.... I am still working 10 hrs

a day or so between unpacking and on the computer 

setting up accounts and ordering....

Most of the kitchen is unpacked,

I have the kids rooms done...

his is all the way done video game themed out

hers is 75 percent done completely changed 

and grown up lots of black, zebra, and pops 

of red, hot pink, and turquoise.

And well this is the new Hubby's office/ my studio

split down the middle, can you spy my white plastic

drawers way in the back?

This is the before we've made progress 

since this but not quite there yet!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Deck the Halls Friday I am glad to be back!

Here is a peek at our entry last Christmas,

the photos are not he best but you'll get the idea.

I may have even showed this before but 

I can't remember! HAHA

I LOVE Annalee Elves

And over the years I have collected the penguins and 

polar bears, it's such a fun display for the kids.

This is my favorite piece I like to decorated

 it with vintage for each holiday.

The apothecary jars are filled with snow and 

a bottle brush tree then a vintage salt and pepper snow couple

those were my favorite things last year.

I put the Manger in the entry China cabinet each year

It keeps it from getting knocked over...

And up top is the very first bottle brush anything 

I did. The kids and I did the houses in '07

and the piece on the right is the first J. Nichelle prototype.

Don't forget to visit our

Christmas Swappin' Goodness!

Well Hello bloggy friends I'm back! Well sort of Haha!

Moving is done, unpacking however 

well ya know how that goes....

Working on getting the studio up and running,

 while my internet access is at best iffy out here in the country.

I participated in darling Michele Askeroth's 

at Something Special~

Holiday Magic, Christmas in July Swap.

I want to show off my swap goodies from

 my sweet Valarie at Glittery Daze and Nights

How adorable is this sparkly creation she sent me?

I was squealing with delight!

I can hardly wait to display them,

but not only did she send that one but this,

 and this one as well!

 I am feeling a bit spoiled, that is a lot of work and the glitter is perfect,

and I just love the embellished Mercury glass bell!

These darling cupcake ornaments were whisked away by

the kids immediately for their trees without even asking.

I adore this party popper I didn't want to open it, 

but I am so happy I did:) look at the vintage goodies

that were hiding inside!

The sweet ornament kit, White Christmas CD, 

BLUEBIRD Christmas card

(click link to see it) and wonderful sheet music

and the rest of the delights will now become

part of our Holidays forever!

What fabulous treasures Valarie,

 you are too sweet and I cherish them all.

I am grateful for a friend like you in my life!

Have a great Sunday!
