come sit awhile

december daily 09

i'm hoping that it doesn't turn into a december daily 2010

as of today, this is where i'm at...

 

right on top of things, aren't i? 

i am no ali edwards

but i've actually taken my photos for day one and day two and i'm planning on printing them by the end of each week, unfortunately i do not have the luxury of a good photo printer.  mine stinks. 

i'm excited to get everything in there...and i hope to have the album put together by this weekend!  over the past month or so, jewelry orders have taken over our home and are in the way (so to speak...) of things such as scrapbooking...that one is a bit further down the list

so stay tuned and FOLLOW ME (over there, on the right)

i plan on keeping you updated!

i have a dot com now!

with an add to cart thingy

i'm still working on a "working" button, problem is the "working" part...BLOWS MY MIND!  so i believe i will have that figured out by someone else, like a professional

it's simple and a do-it-yourself-er kind-of dot com...just what i needed!  so i'm giving it a trial run to see what happens!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is what happens...

when i have too much going on and just need a little time to play

 

The IN HIM Necklace......$38

do you think 27 days is enough time for me to get this together?  i actually have most of the things i need from last year...

i'm leaning toward the ghosts or mummies or maybe the one eyed purple people eaters?  jackson loves them all, or atleast that was his vote! 

  

accountability

that's what keeps me going...

so without any further procrastination, i am once again participating in The Inspired Room's Procrastination Party! 

Melissa said i have two weeks

i believe that will do

here is my project...and yes, you've seen it before

 

STILL blue but i promise...next time you see it, it will be new and improved!

do you have a project waiting for you to finish?  maybe one you haven't touched yet...head over to The Inspired Room and add your name to the link, the accountability just may get to you!

Happy Tuesday!

 

 

 

the last day of seven

tomorrow is the BIG DAY! 

 

hard to believe this guy will be E-I-G-H-T

 

lunch was Schlotzy's...it's his favorite place to eat because they have the best grill cheese and chips! 

 

thank you Lord, it was not Burger King 

 

then he weaseled a "present" out of us, possibly because he's so darn handsome?  

long story...but it was one that he had already "seen"...because he had been snooping!

stinker

 

and these will be on their way to school tomorrow...they were so easy and turned out pretty cute! 

happy Monday...tomorrow! 

 
   

inviting the family

birthday invitations seem to stress me out for no apparent or good reason

as jackson gets older the "theme" type parties are heading out the door (which is a good thing, don't get me wrong), unless you can have a star wars party from here on out and surely somewhere along the way that would get old....

surely?

but this year he is ALL ABOUT LEGO's

legos, legos, legos

so of course, i scan the world wide web for inspiration of never before seen Lego Invitations...because that's how my brain works and even though, i know he's just seven, almost eight

but if anyone enjoys all of the work i put into a birthday party HE DOES! 

God love that child...

so it dawned on me at target while picking out plates and napkins

 

lego's are mostly bright, solid colors, right?

duh?

these were the easiest invitations to date

a pack of cardstock and a photo shoot of some lego people set out to destroy each other, ran those babies through the printer, cut them down a bit, folded them over, stapled them shut, addresses and stamps 

done. 

he thought they were wonderful

 

The Skinny...another good 1 hour walk/run today, picked up the pace several times and left them behind!  why is running on pavement so different than the treadmill?
