questions?

I realized yesterday that never once have I said “if you’ve got q’s, please do ask ’em!”

perhaps I share enough? too much? You know all you ever want to?

Maybe, but I thought in case not I’d throw it out here. If you’ve got q’s leave them in the comment section and I’ll do a Q&A post on Friday.

FYI-  the one question I will NOT answer is how much I weigh. Other than that- it’s wide open.

need craft ideas?

This project has been my baby over the last six weeks or so- and I’m CRAZY EXCITED to see it up, getting great feedback, and of course sharing the projects that so many have worked on! I’m talking about Summer School over at Fiskars Crafts website. Right now Susan Weinroth has a super cute fabric scraps idea that I’m going to have to try.

want in on a secret? Tuesday an amazing artist, instructor, author, and all around great person will be sharing a summer school lesson. Yep, the first guest will be up and you don’t want to miss it!!

working for – or during the weekend?

First: congrats to KateT for winning the adhesive prize in my 5.25 post! E-mail me mflaum (at) comcast.net to claim your goodies!

Now, are you working for or during the weekend? Me, a bit of both. Since I live in a house where weekends are not more special than weekdays (Jason can work ANY day- therefore our ‘weekend’ might be tues/wed!) there usually isn’t a distinct ‘woo hoo Saturday is coming’ feeling around here.

Especially this week.

This week, I’m going “June 1st is coming! watch out!!!” and scrambling to get about 10,000 things done on time so that when June 1 hits I can breathe a big sigh of relief, kick my feet up, and enjoy a few much deserved days off.

So what’s the kink in all this? We’ve had an INSANELY busy social calendar this week (for us, anyway) and my time is more divided than ever.  I’m going underground to my bat lair for a day or two- and while I’m down there work, work, working here’s another give-away opportunity!

I’m going to fill a padded envelope with fun creative goodies. Ribbon, buttons, stickers, chipboard… just a grab bag ‘o fun. Want it? Just leave a comment here!

pics from the weekend

Don’t forget to enter the give away on my previous post. Now, here’s some glimpses of our holiday weekend-

BBQ sauce covered pulled pork + Jason’s homemade slaw  = awesome
