erin and mike drove us and had some plans, so we skipped dinner and left a little early! however i hope rex got some great photographs!!!!!!! plan to use them for my next guest designer project and will send it off to my sister when i'm done!

in other news.......rex and i celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary yesterday!!!!! wowsers.....we were just kids when we got married and still love each other.........and tolerate each other!!!!! course a little tussle occurred while in the bread company on saturday morning........just because we live together for so long doesn't mean we don't fight like cats and dogs!!!!

today we tried to work on the guest bedroom, finishing up the drapes, and artwork!!!!!! then to finish moving in the dresser and done!!!!!!! next will be the study.......repaint after installing hardwood floors.......then our room and lastly the loft!!!!! oh.......to have all this done.........and all the while we are trying to do some stuff around the pool.........we need more time and more MONEY!!!!!!!

made a simple going away card to leeanna........she is (was) the manager at ARchiver's at chesterfield and is leaving for greater adventures..........will miss her bright smile!!!!!! good luck, leeanna!!!!! and tanner!!!!!

Guest Designer for ClearScraps for May & June 2010

wow......what a great life.......i just finished a guest designer project for ClearScraps for the month of may.....it is to be posted next week........had some fun with the acrylic and photos from ikea!!! loved that store!

been extremely busy and tired in the last few weeks......working hard and not sleeping well.....then taking naps in the afternoon which just perpetuates the whole not sleeping thing!!!! wish me luck on fixing that!!!!!

saturday we are having a subdivision garage sale and i have been trying to get a few things together.........since we are installing hardwood in the second story of the house....we are trying to declutter and minimize all things!!!!

even with the storms we have had in the last few days, i just wanted to post a little photo of my beautiful and fragrant peonies!!!!! love these, just disgusted by the ants that come with them!!!!!

i love my crazy, busy life!!!!!!

Guest Designer for HelmarAdhesives for July 2010

wow.........what fun this will be!!!!!! can't wait to get all the goodies and start playing with paper and glue...their adhesives work wonderfully! i have used it in the past and again recently and can't wait to see what they send to me ...............

hope all are doing well.........may seems to be a busy month! first weekend i was away with the girls for scrapbooking.......next weekend going to Cirque de Soleil for Mother's Day....a treat from my son-in-law and daughter.....Cathy (michael's mother) is also attending........that will be so much fun! just love her......such wit and she is so dang intelligent!

the following weekend is the subdivision garage sale and i have LOTS of old scrapbooking stuff to send to someone else's home! sunday will be a day off.....................then

the following weekend is our wedding anniversary (34yrs!) and my nephew is getting married that day! so after the wedding then off to the reception festivities!!! not sure about that sunday.....i'm sure there will be lots of laundry and other house keeping duties to fulfill!!!!!

then the following weekend is memorial day!!!!!!!!! hopefully rex won't be working on sunday since i invited linda and jim over for some pool time and refreshments........hope the weather holds out!

well.....off to bed for me!!!!!!!! I LOVE MY LIFE!~!!!

weekend fun and a glorious day off!

wow.......i had such a great weekend.....spent saturday with gf's playing with paper, glue and WATERCOLOURS!!!!!! made some cards.....a couple of layouts and watercoloured on a canvas bag! now i just need to get some embellishments to add to it!

i had today off.........the sun was shining and the air smells so good!!!!! i could hear the sounds from the water fountain in the swimming pool........the water is blue and still quite chilly! once we add the solar blanket, i'm sure we'll be in it soon!

rex has been working steadily on expanding the pool deck......along with installing hardwood floors to the second story of the house! he painted the guest bedroom this past week.....he took a week's vacation to play and get some things done! he also visited the union hall and social security office........and he is planning on retiring within the next 8 months!!!!! hooray for him!!! at just 56 yrs old, i'm so happy for him! he has such bad rheumatoid arthritis in both of his hands.....and sometimes they just ache!!! so it will be good for him to get out of that type of work, and into something that requires less stress on his joints!

i finished photographing and typing up my information for my guest designer gig at ClearScraps for the month of May........i had fun making the little book and adding all the fun stuff from my first trip to Ikea............will post more about it next week...........

hope everyone is safe (with the floods and scary weather!)......take good care of yourselves!!!

i love my life!
