A Coffee Thing

The "From Our Blog to Yours" at SSD has a fun little internet survey this week. I am definitely a coffee girl-so this one was right up my alley. And as boring as it may sound. I am quite happy to learn...

A Rough Weekend Thing

Wow...what a rough weekend. You know it's bad when you can't wait for Monday! I was sick, my husband had tp work all weekend..it was just NOT fun. Then I wake up to crazy hyper kids, and well...I'm sure you get the picture. Thank goodness for my mom. She took my oldest son to a movie Saturday, then let him and my oldest daughter both spend the night with her on Saturday. So I did get a little bit of a sleep in on Sunday morning, but not much. I was up and at 'em at 8 am. But that is an hour and a half extra sleep for me. But hey, nothing a coffee pot couldn't fix!

Feeling under the weather did give me a chance to get some layouts made,some new products started, and I also got a few more things uploaded to both of my NEW stores! Very excited about that! Here is a look at a few layouts I did, some for CT work, some just because:

A Shopping Thing

Okay, so my sister had been gushing on and on about a place called The Flower Factory. She loves all things crafty, as far as home decor goes. She loves that country/shabby/primitive look. So when she was doing her gushing I was doing the customary nodding and "uh-huhing". I am NOT into the crafty look. I like it for other people houses, so don't think it's that I hate that look. But my interior design has/will have a more eclectic, world traveler, modern feel. So, as she was going on and on about this place-I am all but ignoring her, again, with the customary nodding, yada yada yada. Fast forward to 2 months later, my sister-in-law and my best friend decide they want to go. So I half reluctantly decide to go with them. I mostly went thinking I could find a cute ornament or two, and it'd get me out of the house and away from the kids for a few hours. Well lo and behold, this place was amazing. They had crafting supplies; beads, paint, markers, crayons, canvas, ribbon, string, felt, stickers, tools, paintings, artwork, holiday decorations, toys, candy, party supplies, some household goods, silk flowers, I mean-I could go on and on myself, lol. It was SO fun. I bought $50 worth of stuff;stocking stuffers for the kids, a few ornaments, a new thermometer, a few gifts. It was fabulous. I definite;y need to go back, and I definitely need to stop being so snotty to my sister! So if you have a Flower Factory near you,I highly recommend it.I can almost HEAR you all nodding and "uh-huhing", am I right?
