Saturday unwind...

Lovin' this Saturday of nothing that has to be done. 
Unfortunately, I've had several techinical difficulties, limiting my photos to share, so I guess I will just consoladate what I wanted to share with you guys...

 So for starters-  my family had the honor of visiting the home in Augusta that was built this week by Extreme Home Makeover.  It was incredible.  I mean, you think you cry at home watching the episode [or is it just me??], try visiting the house as you learn about this family in need.  It was heartwarming and motivating and simply wonderful.  We showed up around 7pm and it was freezing freezing.  The builder of this home is a Creeker and old time friend of my family and he offered to show us around.  Now, I wasn't really allowed to take pics of the home [you'll have to watch for it to show up on tv in Feb-March], but I'll share what I got...
Sammy and I suited up

Dad and Mom... also ready for the cold

Our builder friend, Mr. Beazley
 
The exterior of the home... they did an incredble job of keeping maintaining the same style of the surrounding homes

You can see they spared no expense... because of limitation from the county, they had to work with approx 2000 sq feet [which was incredible compared to the prior 600 sq ft].  From the floating stair case to the specail tile in the master bedroom, I loved every second.  But I must say, the volunteers were truly overwhelming.  Someone was in every corner- offering any kind of assistance.  It was moving..

I'm gonna leave you with this [more on Christmas parties when technology decides to cooperate]... I changed up some of my orgnazation in my room this week... Found these wonderful little bowls at Pier1 for about $1 a piece and lined my vanity drawers...I'm loving how easy it is.
