Since I have been on my own, out of my parents house, I have lived in many places. They were all what you would call home, but never fully felt like home. Until I moved here, to this house with Keith and the kids, I never really felt that same home feeling that I used to get at my parents growing up. Now i do. We may not own our house, and only rent, but it really feels like home. We have made it home. I feel safe here. I feel like I could live here for years and not want to move. Sure, it would be nice to have a bigger place, but truthfully, it feels so good here, I don't know if I would want to move any time soon. (not to mention, I don't want to help move that darn couch out of the basement again.)
Since I have been feeling so "at home" here, I have been creating lots of stuff for our home. Like this wall hanging, that simply states: HOME. This is it for me... our home. I love it. I love how it turned out, the colors, everything. It makes me think of where I grew up and where I live now, all rolled into one. It combines so many of my loves and everyone in the family loves it as well.
I used the March Kit, Homemade Happiness from Lucky Girl Crafts to create this, along with some random things I had lying around. It has that vintage feel which I love. If you want to find out how I created this, please go to my Friday Fun Day Challenge post over at the Lucky Girl Crafts blog to read more about it!
Thanks for stopping by! If you scroll down to the next post, you will see I'm on a bit of a posting rampage..... sorry!

I love it Em! We just got an awesome rental house too! We sign the lease tomorrow night. I'm soooo EXCITED!!! It's so amazingly perfect I'm going to be very sad when my mom buys a house for all of us next year! But if it's a choice between renting or living in a house my mom owns, I will go with my mom! For now, my family and my mom are sharing this AMAZING house that's going to feel like home the moment we move in and I am going to make it beautiful! I've never lived anywhere that felt like home like when I was a kid either. but this new place we're renting starting in April, is going to be perfect!
