We got it, we got it, we got it!!!

We got the house! This afternoon we officially signed the contract before a notary, which makes us proud owners of a house. Our very first home, and most likely our last, - this is so exciting. To celebrate I took these 2 kits and Shandy's awesome template:
and added a photo I took today of myself sporting my new glasses. Here's the layout:

There is also a contest going on with the Shabby Fall Garden kit. Read about it here.

    Congratulations! Moving into your first home is one of the most exciting times in your life - next to having your child of course! Thanks for adding me to your list today - I like to "stalk" your blog as well and it is always a thrill if I see one of my freebies on it.

    Enjoy your champagne!

  23. Congratulations! I was following your house-issue with every post, as, the last 4 weeks, we were also discussing about buying a house - only, we will most likely not be able to afford it, unless the price doesn´t go down for another 30.000 Euro...

    But it´s so great to read you got yours! Hope you will still find the time to go on a freebie hunt then, with all that renovating you will have to do now :-)

  35. Woohoo! Congrats! Enjoy your new home! Just think of how much Ikea goods you can pack in there! hee hee!

    There is the office furniture (Galant) which is quite nice (I have a galant desk), and then the wonderful Billy bookcases, and which entertainment centre are you going to pick! And this isn't even considering what closet system (oooh! PAX + all those accessories!) What fun you are going to have! lol! Make sure you share with your loyal readers so we can live vicariously through your shopping extravaganza!! :-)

  53. I know I'm probably a day late and a dollar short, but congrats on the house! Owning your own home is a wonderful thing. I will say that I miss being able to just call the office or the landlord when soemthing breaks like when we had our apartment though LOL.
