Month: March 2009

I thought it would be fun to list some random good things this Monday morning…

First up, if anyone wants to get me a present (to heck with the diet)…

(sigh) the Perfect Endings cupcakes are soooo yummy-licious. Plus those flowers make me ready for spring.

Secondly- I was on my ‘amazon recommends’ (so helpful!) and I discovered a TON of books coming out this spring/summer that I’ll have to watch for. Of course the new Sudie Stackhouse and Stephanie Plum, but looks like a lot of other potentials too. Poolside reading, I’ll be ready! Speaking of books, did you know that you can download up to 16 free e-books from Harlequin? Not too many tempted me, but hey- free books are always a good thing!

I want. I want. (sigh) Evalicious has such awesome stuff and these buttonsmake me sooo happy. I want them bad.

I completed my next BIG class!! Well, it’s a project now class (vacation scrapbooking- can you tell from the peek?) and I’ll let you know when it opens. It was so fun and I love the 5 layouts I made for it. More on that when it opens!

Finally, the mr. is back home after 4 days off with his dad watching spring training and eating at restaurants and staying in a nice hotel. I thought I was going to have this restful weekend filled with creating and  reading novels and play… but between the girls and a bunch of work that needed to get done that didn’t happen. I’m definitely glad Mr. Clean is back and I will get a bit of quiet this week!

I’ve got another POTD over at Fiskars: http://fiskarscrafts.com/projects/t_framehoop.aspx 

This project is so crazy FUN- and I love that there is no limit to what you could do. Go get a page protector, embroidery hoop and some scrap supplies and PLAY!!!

This weekend has strong chances of rain, so today I let the girls run me all over a few counties doing fun stuff. (zoo, old town Sac, a scrapbook store, lunch, a bakery, the gym, costco….)

We started at the zoo for several reasons. I wanted to do something fun and new with them + I needed 1 more subject for my BPS class I’m finishing and zoo fit both! Sacramento zoo is TINY, but it was 1/2 off admission day so the price fit and we did have a good time. I asked a terrible lot from my girls- to sit next to each other for 1 photo…

E made mad face for every shot, and they’re all funny. Then I said “thanks Becca, let’s see if we can find some fun animals to check out for you!” and suddenly…

Yeah, I love 4 year olds much as I love 19 month olds. =)

Anyhow, it’s Friday night now and I’m still recovering from this day of activity and travel! I do, have something sweet to give one of you that  I picked up yesterday in Borders…

The chocolate + fake book cover CRACKED ME UP. If you’d like this novel chocolate bar (tee hee) just leave a comment here. Knowing me I’ll probably throw in a few other goodies too…

have a great weekend!

 

yeah…

don’t mind me. I’m just here. Clawing my way up one side of my to-do list and back to sanity.

Or, at the very least a clean slate and creative time this weekend! (Sanity is over-rated anyhow)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I sent Miss E off to school with a shamrock painted on her face… but forgot to photograph. Ah well, here’s a picture of a little green fairy/leprechaun riding Dumbo at Disneyland for some green eye candy…
