Friday Freebie Giveaway 2008-08-01 06:00:00 I'm switching things up a bit today. Instead of my typical digital freebie, let's have a giveaway. :)A couple weeks ago I received a package from Autumn Leaves for winning the May Designing with 2008 contest at Two Peas in a Bucket. I had requested the Winter Garden line for my prize. Autumn Leaves was extra generous this time and I want to share my good fortune with two lucky readers.Winner Read more:Friday
On the Mend 2008-07-31 06:00:00 When Trent & I returned from our weekend trip, I found a message from my Dad that my grandfather had fallen and broken his hip on Sunday morning. The break was far enough up that he had joint replacement surgery on Tuesday. It went well and rehab has begun. Yesterday morning they got him up and moving a bit. Things are slow going, but that's probably to be expected. My sweet Calendar Girl

Hard Rock Park 2008-07-28 08:45:00 All work and no play isn't any fun. We had already planned to spend this weekend at the beach before the bathroom fiasco.

Park in Myrtle Beach, SC, to do just that. :)Not sure if it's the economy or lack of awareness of
My Week in a Wordle 2008-07-26 07:00:00 I decided to play around on Wordle using my blog's RSS feed:
Almost There 2008-07-25 06:00:00 Day 5 update: nail holes in molding filled. Caulking complete. Toilet in place. Bathroom 95% cleaned.Once the caulking is dry, I'm going to mop the floor and then we'll be able to start using our bathroom again. The remaining painting will wait until next week.

This Fence is Made for Walking 2008-08-16 07:00:00 Earlier in the week we caught a neighbor's cat perched on top of our fence. He was just hanging out on one of the front corner posts. My best guess is he was bird watching or interested in the catnip I was growing on the backside of the fence below him. Thursday morning I glanced up from my kitchen sink thinking I saw a squirrel out of the corner of my eye. That is a normal scene near our bird Read more:Walking

New American Crafts Products 2008-08-12 06:00:00 I rarely get new scrapbook products fresh off the press. Fact is, it's new to me regardless and, well, I'm cheap thrifty.

However, on Sunday while shopping at Archiver's (with my coupons, of course!), I stumbled across the new products from AmericanCrafts

's Tavern
on Hillsborough Street. If you've never been to Raleigh, it still may look and sound familar - a bar scene for the movie Bull Durham was filmed there in the late '80s. Trent & I dropped in last night for a surprise gathering for a friend's birthday. A fun night filled with good friends, a few drinks, lots of laug
Ladies Night Out 2008-09-09 06:20:00 Each month a group of women from our church enjoy Ladies Night
Out. It's become so popular that the men have started their own group so as not to feel left out. ;) At any rate, last night we met at a fun spot in the Five Points area of Raleigh - NOFO at the Pig. It's located in a former Piggly Wiggly grocery store and features a restaurant, food market & gift store. It was a great night o
