Ever have one of THOSE days??

It all started with THIS pretty little N.A.P throw......darn it. I've been collecting things to re-do my den and bought this throw in cream to go with all my other "finds"..............my new chair arrived and I realized that the darker color would work better with the room so I buzzed myself to Brookstone in Seattle. This is NOT a hop, skip and a jump away from here, only to find out that they will NOT exchange "personal products".......WHAT? Never used, not out of the package.........nope, can't do it. I was NOT a happy girl. This little throw was SIXTY DOLLARS! I learned a lesson, that's for sure. Who would have thought?


So, when life hands you lemons............MAKE LEMONADE!!!!!!!! I've traveled all that way, might as well do some shopping, right??? I LOVE a cute little rubber stamp store called IMPRESS in Seattle.......lots of cute ideas and everything to make cards/scrapbook under the sun. I didn't end up buying very much, but, I did get some cute ideas. I hope they inspire you too!


Can't see? Click on the picture and voile'........it'll be much bigger.... :-)


Who'd have thought????? What a DANDY idea. A simple frame with a piece of metal added makes a bulletin board!! I'm going to be doing this for sure. Oh, wait.........where will I hang it?? Oh my.......that could be a problem. Wouldn't it be great for an ever changing inspiration board? I'd like a cuter frame, but that's just me! :-)


Little Martha punches. I love the carrot card. How cute is that?


And then............!!!!!!!!! Off to the Goodwill. I bought all these cute little unneeded items for TWELVE DOLLARS! Gotta love "stuff"..........I've never seen another one of those little milkglass bottles. I thought, at first, that it was AVON, but it's not.....

Off I go to do the pile of paperwork that's been sitting here while I've been running around, not getting much done! Isn't that just the way it is?

Then, to top off my trials and wasting of precious time........I've spent about two hours this morning re-doing my header. I've redone the darn thing about 10 times already. I think this one will stay for awhile. :-) Do you like it??? I also figured out how to replace the title line. It was so easy, how could I have missed it?


God bless you and thanks so much for coming!
Have the BESTEST weekend.

Hugs,
Spencer
