Q&A 2008-07-03 06:00:00 I've gotten a few of questions recently that I thought I'd address in a post.

Organizing the Closet (again) 2008-06-28 11:13:00 Trent & I spent last Saturday shopping at the outlets in Myrtle Beach since it was overcast and rainy most of the day. We both needed some new clothes and found many good deals. However, fitting the new stuff into the closet once home was going to be challenging as it was overflowing. I decided to set aside time this weekend to go through my clothes.Before I started:The shirts stacked above Read more:Closet
California T-Shirt Bag 2008-06-27 06:00:00 I found this fun, summery t-shirt on sale at Old Navy last weekend and knew it would make a fun bag. Such a great size for shopping or a beach trip. Perfect print for the latter as well. :)

Special Inspection 2008-07-24 06:50:00 The cats have been locked out of the bathroom since Sunday. We didn't want them getting into any trouble - particularly before we repaired the subfloor. I had visions of their curiosity getting the best of them and finding them running around in the floor/ceiling space! :)Chester is our little scaredy cat and was quite unruffled by the loud noises of the saws and hammer. Last night he peeked Read more:Special

And there was Floor... 2008-07-23 06:08:00 I gave in to Trent's idea and we began installing the new flooring last night:About 3 hours later, we were finished and I had reinstalled most of the quarter round molding around the toilet area. Tonight we're planning to finish installing the molding. Some of it snapped during demo so this will require another trip to the hardware store. And then I want to paint the recessed wall behind the t Read more:Floor
Picking Finishes 2008-07-22 06:00:00 After work last night, Trent & I went shopping for paint & flooring at Home Depot. They offer a no VOC paint. It's more expensive than some other brands, but we feel worth it to not have those fumes particularly in the vicinity of our bedroom. I picked out a very pale green color called "Hidden Sea Glass." Looking forward to seeing it on the walls, but first we have a good bit of clean Read more:Picking

Down the Drain 2008-07-21 05:45:00 Our weekend started out so well. We knocked out a few errands. Managed a thorough cleaning downstairs. Went out with friends on Friday night to the Carolina Ale House. Had a couple more friends over for a cookout Saturday night. I experienced bratwurst for the first time. Not sure if I'll eat it again, but I at least gave it a try.Sunday morning, we went to church and listened to a wonderful
Friday Freebie - Summer Fun template 2008-07-18 05:50:00 This week I went back a year to the first full digital layout I created:I loved the bright blue of the water & wanted to make it a focal point. So, I kept the design simple - filling it with photos - then adding a couple embellishments. The template
contains all the layers to recreate this design except for the sun & "summer fun" layers. Those are from free digital kits available at Two Read more:Friday

The Good, the Bad, and the OUCH! 2008-07-15 21:31:00 So many things going through my head tonight. Mostly the latter of that title. The ouch! One of my molars started hurting last night during dinner. I had a filling put in it last month and assumed that was the problem. It still hurt this morning so I called the dentist and managed to get squeezed in at 10am. After x-rays (very uncomfortable x-rays I might add), poking, looking, thinking, a bite
good eats 2008-07-14 05:22:00 I've been trying to decide how to scrapbook about the many restaurants we ate at while in Walt Disney World last fall. The sketch used for July 21st in dw2008 gave me just the inspiration I needed to capture them all (well, the table dining restaurants at least) in one page:Here's where Friday's Stickle fun came in. Love the sparkle of those letters. I foresee lots of sparkle in my future. ;)
Stampin' Up goodies 2008-07-13 07:00:00 The Stampin' Up party was a lot of fun. We made 3 cards and a cute little post-it note holder for our purse. I ordered 1 stamp set and the scallop punch. Looking forward to getting those soon.

Hello, Weekend 2008-07-12 07:00:00 No cows sighted around here. Did anyone else spot (or maybe dress as) one? :D Even without any cows, I had a very good day...One of my favorite things about any Friday is that I only work until 1pm. Afterwards I went to my monthly massage appointment. Ahhhh. Came home and scrapped for a bit. Got the mail. My latest order from ScrapbookPictures.com arrived and a notice from the courthouse - I Read more:Hello

Chick-fil-A Cow Appreciation Day 2008-07-11 06:00:00 I am on far too many email lists. Recently I received one from Chick-fil-A about Cow Appreciation Day and, well, I couldn't help but laugh. I'm seriously considering stopping by to just sit & watch to see if anyone does this today. Here's the deal: dress from "head to hoof" like a cow, stop by Chick-fil-A today and get a free combo meal. "Partial" cow attire will earn you a free entree.See
