Feelin Crafty!
Today was nonstop. I guess most days are anymore, aren't they.
- I had six projects due and to mail out today. Whew!
- I was out of paper and INK! So that required an early morning run to get these items....which, btw, was the perfect excuse to grab a ChicK Filet chicken biscuit for breakfast! YUM!
- Abby was "sick" and insisted that she needed to stay home from school --debatable, yes :)
- Had to get the class project finalized for the CRAFTY ONLINE CLASS--its so fun!!
- Had to shovel out some PILES and do some laundry so my children don't go naked the rest of the week. LOL!!
- I thought I would start on my taxes...but that will have to wait--maybe tomorrow :)
- Had to get a handle on my inbox this evening--much mail to return!
- Both girls had ball practice this evening at the same time (yes, Abby was well enough to go--go figure :) but...that was all good. Once I dropped Sara and went to Abby's --I got to sit down for an hour. Ahhhhhh.... That was such a nice, relaxing break--especially since I knew dinner was in the oven and ready to eat when we got home (roast, potatoes, carrots, etc. )
But, I'm just thankful that I have work to keep me busy, and a healthy family to dirty up lots of laundry and so many wonderful blessings that make life this crazy, bumpy, wonderful journey that it is!
I have to share my project of the week over at Fiskars...its kinda fun and springy...
...got that fun little tin, seeds and tools at the DOLLAR SPOT--add some fun Cloud 9 Designs and voila!! Such a fun little gift. And if you love those Fiskars Border Punches...the one I used on this project is a must have: Lacy Days of Summer (its NEW!).
Vintage Dictionaries: $2
Song book: $3
Cigar Box: $3
Wooden hoops: $1 each
Two hours of Mama time spent antiquing...
yes, you guessed it: PRICELESS!!
gotta love busy day right? Love the project - way cute!

Great project! I looked at those the other day and thought, 'hmmmm....', now I am thinking 'I hope they still have some!'.
PS If we can ever get you here to CO, Rachel and I have some wonderful vintage and antique stores we can scour!

Have I told you lately that I love you! haha please don't think I'm a freak. I have followed your work since, well, forever.
In fact, you are the reason I started scrapping I saw your awesome pages in a Scrap etc mag (and lifted your page) and was hooked to the hobby, since then. :)
Okay, now that I made my self look like a stalker freak...must go.
Peace!
Veronica :)
