Update

Not really too much to update. Michael and I tackled a mini home makeover project last weekend. We painted our front door and put up a storm door. I really like the color that we chose. It is called Merlot and actually looks a bit darker in person than in my photos. We really needed to paint the trim around the door before winter so that is what we had set out to do. I figured we might as well paint the door while we were at it too. We went to Lowes and ended up buying a new lock and handle set for the door too. While we were there we stopped at the storm doors, we had no intention of getting one, and I saw a cranberry color and thought that is what I wanted the front door to look like. Later in the evening we went back to Lowes and bought the storm door. I am pleased with how everything turned out.Our poor poor peach tree! We didn't trim it back when winter was over this year and the poor tree is suffering from it. We had to cut off a few branches and the tree still has many limbs that are just bending. We really need to go out and get the peaches off of it. I don't feel like canning this year so we will be giving most of them away. We didn't do any fertilizing this year so my nectarine tree didn't do well. I also think the winter had a LOT to do with our tree issues. My apple trees are also suffering. We will treat them better this coming year!

I am so excited to be heading home in November for a scrappin' weekend with friends. I haven't done any scrapping in so long. I have been out buying new papers and albums lately to get me in the mood. I am thinking I need to do a little scrappin' before I go so I get the hang of it again. Who wants to come scrap at my house? I also need to get pictures developed so I have current stuff to work on. I have about 7.5 years of stuff to catch up on, but I want to start with newer stuff. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. YIKES!

Well, off to finish cleaning house and getting my scrapbook room in order. Have a wonderful weekend!

I like your new door color!! Very nice. I'm sorry about your trees. Our apple trees are out of control too, poor things.

I really like the color of the front door. I'm also looking to do a little painting soon...just a couple accent walls.

I would love to get a storm door for my front door. The new color is really cool. I've always "thought" about painting my front door. But I hate painting.
