Some BIG news!

Some of you may remember me blogging about a top secret I had, well it's time for the big reveal to you all! Have any of you been guessing? This is on the cards since the new year and I wrote about it in my New Year Goals :-) I am like a wee bird that is going to build a nest :-) After all home is where the heart is!

If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace ~Gaston Bachelard

The most important work you and I will ever do will be within the walls of our own homes ~Harold B. Lee

Life's a voyage that's homeward bound ~Herman Melville
Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home ~John Howard Payne

A good home must be made, not bought ~Joyce Maynard

My home is not a place, it is people ~Lois McMaster Bujold]

Any ideas??? I have gave the secret away! Yes you guessed it! Myself and my boyfriend are building a home together, we have the plans all ready and have permission. We are both living at home with our seperate families at the moment but as soon as the house is built it will be our HOME!!! :-) As you may have noticed I'm very excited, all I need now is lots of money! All donations accepted :)

Good luck - you won't regret it. We did it ten years ago and have had the pleasure of living in a wonderful 'made to fit us' home. Its not all plain sailing, but well worth it.
