but those dreams quickly vanished as I got pulled over the next day supposedly going 50 in a 40 mph work zone. Oh, yeah, a big whopping $200 ticket! Bye bye tag sale $$$! Do these things only happen to me? Well, onto some better news. I finally have some before and after pictures to show you of our house. Remember, I told you in this post we were finally getting our house painted and I was having a hard time selecting colors, but I finally found the perfect colors! Well, it turned out better than I expected and I cannot believe what a difference paint can make. Seriously. See for yourself....

It's a huge improvement. I can't tell you how much I don't mind driving up to our house now! It makes me happy. As you can tell, my husband (and fellow neighbors) cut down the tree right in front of the house which makes a huge difference - it really opens it up. Sorry, we still need to remove the stump. Here is a before and after of our front door.

I love my new black door! I took off the old storm door which I think makes a world of difference. I am still not finished, I have a knocker I'd like to put on the front door, I'd like to change the numbers and sconces, but all in due time. Well, happy weekend and happy halloween everyone!! I've missed you guys this week - thanks for bearing with me!!!
