Refrigerator Bling

Everything needs a little bling! My photo taken yesterday for Project 365. My bling was inspired by Aunt Doris who pioneered the fine art of fridge bling.

Scrap-happy

A few days off and I haven't been as productive as I would have liked. I'm feeling very guilty about that. But I did complete this page with my Cocoa Daisy April Kit. Come on May Kit, I'm waiting for you to arrive!

Thomas leaves for Chicago on Friday for a week so tonight is laundry night. Nothing like waiting until the last minute!

Last night we watched the 3 hour finale of Biggest Loser and during every commercial break, we jumped up and did chores during the commercials. (unloaded the dishwasher, made the bed, folded some blankets to put away for the summer) Towards the end of the show Thomas would jump up before me and yell, "What's next?" I was running out of things for us to do! Ha.

Things I Learned from My Mother

Thanks Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

1. When someone offers you a piece of gum or a mint, always take it. You probably need it.

2. Always send thank you notes. Always...even if they are late.

3. It's okay to cook the same dishes every holiday - just call it tradition.

4. When your spouse points at something, ignore him until he asks nicely.

5. Give to others and expect nothing in return.

6. It's okay to pamper yourself.

7. Always purchase something from kids who come around doing fundraising.

8. Hide things about money and keep a secret stash in your wallet.

9. Friends are precious.

10. You don't have to share everything - like popcorn.

It's also my little sister's birthday today! We're celebrating double duty with Mom AND a birthday cake. Happy Birthday chick!

Cha-ching!

We had a really great garage sale today! The weather was cool at 7:00 am when we opened our doors and there was a flood of people stopping by all day. But then the angry storm blew in and we had to close up shop. We raked in $700 before the rain though! Woot!






After our sale we had planned on going to see the new Star Trek movie, but after venturing out in the rain we noticed all the streets were extremely flooded. We decided to stay in town for dinner and rent a movie instead.

Everyone's tired, so I suspect we'll turn in early tonight.

Loaded up and ready to roll

It has been an exhausting week. I have seriously worked 62 hours the last 6 days. Pushing that aside, we are loaded up and headed to New Boston for the weekend. Tomorrow is our long awaited garage sale!

Here's to nice, sunny weather and lots of sales!

Hope your weekend is great!

Huggles,

This past week

What is going on with the weather this week? It has been dark and overcast all week and then today I think it has rained all day. Really rained, pouring down-thunder-and-lightning rained! We even heard hail falling on the roof, and looked outside and saw green pea sized hail. We're safe and sound in our little house and I think most of the storm has finally blown over. Thank you Lord.

Sadly, found this in the mailbox.



Also, found some sweet little roses on the bush we planted last fall in her memory.



Still working on my scrappy-mess and we're down to only one more week until the garage sale. Princess Bella tries to be helpful.~



Huggles,
