Slice of Life : The Drought.

I'm thinking - How awful I've been at blogging recently. I guess I've hit a drought in all this heat that we've been having. It will come back. I know it will.

I'm thankful for - My Job. I have been so flipping busy this week (yes it's only Tuesday) and I have loved almost every moment of it - I'm also thankful for this 15 minute break which I'm using for blogging goodness.

From the Kitchen- Leftover heaven! We're having Chicken sandwiches tonight on leftover Brat buns, We're crafty like that.

I'm wearing- My "mail room clothes" and feeling yucky about it.

I'm Going- to go crazy ... seriously though... I'm going to get a move on my scrap booking, I'm really behind - first step? Printing pictures.

I'm Hoping- Mindy gets her new kitty this weekend. She's picked him out and is just waiting on some clearance from the vet(s).

I'm hearing- Oldies pumping from Pandora. I'm pretty sure my Pandora station went rogue because It's been playing crazy stuff all day.

I LOVE- that this week is going fast... I am so ready for the weekend!

I'm wondering- when I will get to Bo's to pick up more Cherries! (I'm an addict)

A few plans for the week- Call committee tomorrow night (YAY) and errands - who knows what else will come up?

A picture for a thought I'm sharing- I made this on my lunch hour today - funny what you can do with a little publisher and creativity. It's hanging out as my desktop back ground. I'm pretty proud of it.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!

R is for Ronnebeck!
