The looser the string is, the easier it will be to fluff up your pompom later.. Next, take your scissors and trim the ends of your accordion.

Tomorrow we take off to our new/old hometown..Pardon my absence tomorrow while I’m off having the third best day of my life!There are all kinds of things wrong with our new home, but we take them all on gladly..

It needs a ton of work on the inside to make it feel like a real home for us, but when you start with a shell like this, how can you go wrong?.We were able to do a final walk-through over the weekend and got to see everything again and see if it was all just as we’d remembered it.I had a great time getting some quick photos around the property in the peak of Summer and (bonus!)

the rooms all seemed much bigger and brighter than what we remembered.. We are thrilled.Can’t wait.. Let me show you around!.
