Happy Humpday!!

Well, I realize I may be a little late on the Humpday-wishes... There's only 2 1/2 more hours left of Wednesday. But this is the first time today that I can actually sit and do... well, nothing :)

I got some vases today from Ross'. I <3 Ross' for home stuff. 5 beautiful vases in 4 different colors, and the best part was that they were all on clearance :) So now I have larger homes for ribbons and buttons. Still debating on whether I want to just dump all the buttons from the same color family on in there or sort them in little baggies. I think my craftily-anal self will sort them. Funny how I only get crazy like that with craft stuff. If I could be like that with the rest of the house, hey, I'd run a pretty nice household!!

So, to update the list that I posted what, 2 weeks ago, here's what we accomplished:

- Set up the curtain-rods and curtains in our bedroom.
- Set up the compooper speakers for J's compooper.
- Fully vacuum our bedroom. (as opposed to in parts like we've been doing)
- Wet vac/shampoo our carpet.
- Get the craft room back in order.

4 1/2 outta 6 ain't too bad in my head.

And well, the craft room is in better shape, not so much in order. But I'll take what I can get. I just realized that the reason that it's so messy down there is because there's just too much CRAP. But I'm doing well with using it up... My mom thinks swaps are a waste of time and don't make sense, but luckily, J gets me. =o) He sees my stash being pared down little by little, and he knows that I'm having a blast doing what I do so that's alright with him. And plus, he says that a lot of the stuff that comes back is so nice, I need to CASE it to give to friends or sell at craft shows. I think it would fall under the category of RESEARCH.

Next Rubberstamp and Scrapbooking Expo is Saturday, 02-09!! Hope to see you there with TONS of THICKERS, a selection of American Crafts Modern (they only come in D-Ring) and Linen (both Post-Bound and D-Ring), FOUR new Pebbles Inc. Scrapbookits, and more!!!

Happy Monday

It is nice to be back on a routine.

Here's an update on what we've accomplished thus far....

- hung the curtains =o) and cleaned the screens, vacuumed up the bugs and wiped all traces of those little gnats away (J thinks they were attracted because of the florescent lights)

haha. Did you think we'd have more done by now? I certainly did. oh well. I have until saturday to finish up everything, so I better get back to it!!! And then I can fill my blog with tons of wonderful scrappy goodness!!

The Peace & Quiet part 2

Sooooooooooooo... it turns out that the screams were of the "put me back to sleep" kind. And I've managed to more-or-less lose my entire train of thought, so I will jump on a new one.

Jared starts his vacay tomorrow, I am very happy. He hasn't had a decent amt of vacay since June. And I realize that's more than some people get so we are grateful for it!! And with Albert back in school for most of the day we can actually get stuff done around the house. So here's my list of "To-Do's", let's see how much we actually get done. Remember, our word for the year is COMPLETION. Let's try to actually put a resolution to work for once, and see it through to COMPLETION.

- Set up the curtain-rods and curtains in our bedroom.
- Set up the compooper speakers for both J's & Alb's compoopers.
- Fully vacuum our bedroom. (as opposed to in parts like we've been doing)
- Wet vac/shampoo our carpet.
- Get the craft room back in order.
- Find a reliable web designer.

Off to renew my contract with Ben Franklin Enchanted Lakes... in the pouring rain!!!

The Peace & Quiet

Its the first day back to school after this long winter break and I have to say that its nice. Albert is somewhere safe and fun and someplace he wants to be. And Amare is sleeping.

Well, make that was sleeping. He is now up and screaming at my feet, so I'm off for now... I will finish this post later!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Happy New Year!!

Sooooo.... I may be a little (okay, a LOT) late on this greeting, but if you know me and my family, you know that this is typical of us. Of me. Ali Edwards' blog challenged people to choose a word for the year. All of your New Year's resolutions summed up in a single word. My word??

Completion.

Why??

Because there are so many things that I intend to do or start and never complete for whatever reason.

Like the Christmas Cards.
Like the website.
Like the neverending cleaning & organizing of the bedroom and craft room.
Like the many, many projects I have sitting in a bin next to my crafting desk.

I could go on and on but then I think we both would be overwhelmed. So let's just stop there.

And I promise, I am working on the craft room. As soon as I get through cleaning and organizing (give me another week!) we can have loads of fun making another mess!!
