The Joys of Moving Across the Country

While we are VERY excited to be moving into our new house in a week, and are happy to be back in Nova Scotia with the MacKinnon side of our family, we are not super excited about living in an empty house for about 6 months.

All of our stuff (our bed, night stands, TV, chairs, pictures, ornaments, kitchen things, extra clothes, sheets and towels, etc.) is in Alberta until we can figure out how to get it home.
We could have paid $5,000 to rent a u-haul, but we thought that was a ridiculous price (that doesn't even include gas!)
Steve is in Alberta now, so he will be bringing some things home with him in his suitcase, along with mailing home a couple of boxes. Everything else will have to wait until Spring, when we will probably drive back out there in Ashley and Chad's SUV.

All of my Christmas decorations are also in Alberta, so I will be making new stuff this year. Mom and I went to the beach the other day to collect shells in order to make some ornaments.

This is what I will be attempting with the shells:

I also plan to make the following Martha Stewart ornaments:





I'll post pictures when they're finished. I do love making crafts!!
