This weekend has been a fun weekend so far. Yesterday my stamp friends were here for our monthly meeting. We did some background papers and chatted. It has been awhile since we have all been together so we had to catch up on life. I am hoping to make some cards with the backgrounds. I will take a picture of the background piece before I cut it up for the cards then you can see how I used it.
Today, I started the day making breakfast. We had sausage gravy over biscuits and scrambled eggs. I made lots of gravy so I am going to freeze 2 containers for future use. A quick breakfast or even dinner at another time. Now I am updating blog then I am going to go update my calendar.
I know this is a short post but maybe I will make some cards this afternoon and post again tonight with them.

This weekend......
has been a relaxing one, for the most part. I was off Friday and my friend and I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Atlanta. I did not buy too much. But, I got some stuff on clearance which was cool. It was also neat to see all the stuff out there. Then we came back to Columbus and I went to stamp club. After that, James picked me up and we went to dinner. Then we went to get Thomas at his grandma's house and headed home.
Saturday, I worked on the room and got alot of it done. I made so much progress that I am happy. In a little bit, I will be hheading in there to work a little bit more in 1 area then I will finish the other area where James's desk will be and we can move the desk over there. And, then move the lamp table by the couch and it will be usable. It will also get the computers out of the living room. And I will have my craft table clear and ready. Then all I have to do is finish organizing the craft closet and voila, you will see more cards I hope.
Then our next chore is cleaning up the back porch of stuff. Putting the Christmas tree and decorations in the closet. And finally emptying our storage so we can save some money per month.
And I want to have a yard sale to get rid of a few things taking up alot of space. And maybe make some extra money.
Then I may have to organize the Avon stuff again, too.
But right now I feel accomplished. Am I ready to go back to work tomorrow? Nope. I wishmy job was to stay at home and create. That would be a perfect job!! LOL
Have a great day!

Hello out there!
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO EVERYONE!!! I am not sure what you are doing today but I am doing stuff around the house. My work was closed today. We are not going anywhere or having a big cook-out. My husband worked last night and is working tonight so he is sleeping most of the day. Actually, he is working 7 nights straight....it will be a great check especially since he gets paid time and a half for the holiday plus he will have overtime, too!! I am going to start cooking in a while as I am making ribs for dinner. My recipe requires parboiling for an hour and then baking them for 3 hours. James made home-made barbecue sauce this morning before laying down. Oh, he also cooked us breakfast while I slept in. What a nice husband!
After breakfast, I started laundry. I also swept the floors and mopped(Swiffered) them because I had new rugs to put down. I bought bamboo rugs on World Market. They are 2'x3' and I got one of each color:brown, seafoam green and a reddish color. I put one by each door and then one in front of the china cabinet. James likes to take his shoes off there and just leave them. Thomas and I were always tripping over them or having to move them to get by. Instead of fighting it any longer, I put one of the rugs there and shoes must stay on that rug. It also gives a little color to our living room/dining room. Everything is a brown tone so this color breaks it up.
This afternoon, I will put Thomas in his room for quiet time and I will work on the extra room. By the end of this weekend, I want to have it straightened out enough so we can actually sit on the couch in there and watch TV and even get to the desk and craft table to work on stuff. And then maybe work on unpacking more craft stuff. That way I can start working on cards and stuff and be able to show more on here. I know that is what you all would like to see.
I am reading alot lately. I am hooked on these Beverly Lewis books. I just finished part 2 in the Abraham's Daughters series. I will start 3. I bought 1, 3, 5on sale. I paid full price for 2 and still have to get 4. Books a million had several of her books on special.
I hope also this weekend to do some cross-stitch. I want to get back into it. It is something I can do while watching TV like I used to do.
Well, have a great holiday and enjoy time with your family and I will try to update on Sunday.
