My Vintage Camper Maybe?

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!

I am still here but have been crazy busy with the holidays and of course my current obsession.

I can't even begin to explain the nightmare of a time I have had trying to get and hold on to enough money for a camper. 

 I brought home 88 dress forms just before Christmas. Yes, you read that right...88! So I hosted a little gathering/sale for friends only and made enough for my camper thanks to all the amazing wonderful people that came out. But then Christmas came and I used the money on gifts for my adult family members instead.

  

Then this beauty came along with a price tag of only $200!!!!! Which I of course didn't have immediately after the holidays. But I had someone come and pick up 35 more dress forms. 

{P.S. If you are local, I STILL have about 30 of them!}

So we got ready to leave to pick up the camper this morning when my ex husband {his truck has better pulling capacity} gets his truck stuck in the driveway. We've had a lot of snow,

{insert sad face here}

I don't like snow, not even a little bit.

Got the truck unstuck and drove an hour north, all goes well, camper is paid for, title in hand, hooked up and on the way home with us when ...thump.....thump......thump......we blew a tire on the camper. Oh, it's ok, there is a spare on the back.

Not so much....an hour after being on the side of the interstate freezing in the snow Dave finally gets the spare on and pfffttttttttt, it's dry rotted and goes flat. 

We managed to get it into a little neighborhood and are currently praying it stays there until morning light and that we can find a tire for it for under $90 since that is all we have left in the bank. It honestly needs two, but we are hoping fix a flat will cure the other.

*Sigh*

*Heavy sigh*

I'm a fighter when it comes to something I really want, and since I am adult and don't get Christmas presents I really wanted to give myself something for all the work I have done this year. A little reminder that I've busted my butt, done pretty well and had a good year, but this has nearly taken the fight out of me.

Re-grouping now and focusing on the positive though, I did it!! It's not here yet but barring any more unforeseen complications it will be here tomorrow and it will be a time to celebrate.

I'm not into shoes {I only have two pair} or jewelry, or clothes, hair/nails/makeup....but this camper it has been my obsession. On my mind 24/7, so all I can do is wish for the best and with some luck tomorrow I will have more photos for you and you can follow me on my journey as I figure out yet another project!!
