SOCCER IS OVER

Whoo hoo! We get our Saturday's back, with nothing to do!! Cept of course to work on our reno's!! Which btw, are coming along very slowly, as to be expected with 4 children and other things to do. We've got the gyproc up, and the mud is done, now sanding, and priming. We bought a few more things this weekend. So once we get all the 'hard' work done, then comes the fun part. Decorating! If you take a look at the picture, that is the old paint, just flaking off the wall....what a mess! Thank-goodness for shop vacs, and for wives who buy them for there husbands for Christmas ;) And by the way, that strip of colour on the wall isn't the colour the bathroom is going to be, for those who were wondering!

I'm feeling a bit better from Thursday, but it's still weird, I don't feel 100%. But glad I am able to do things, last week I couldn't do anything. Our house is in such disarray, I can't wait till it's back to normal (somewhat normal anyways)

I stamped last week, even though it wasn't a card for my daughter (I went into my collection for that) I've been doing alot of crocheting! My mom taught me how to years ago, and I was re-acquainted with it recently when my daughter Emmalee was introduced to it at AAA. I'm not making anything special. The kids all want me to make them a little blanket, so I've been working on Noah's. Emmalee is a pro though, she's made soo many little dish clothes, and has been giving them out to Sunday School teachers, soccer coaches, and Faithbuilder leaders. She's so proud of herself! Every time we go to the store now, she wants to go look at the yarn!

So, anyways, back to my card. It was the colour challenge 101 (b) on SCS
Here it is:

The buttons I got at dollarama, and the ribbon I got in the ribbon share (she's having another one, with some nice ribbons) I was just in, and the thinking of you stamp I won as blog candy from Amy R.


It was fun to stamp a little, but I have so many other things on my mind. I hope to get some more stamping done this week. We have a birthday gathering to attend on Saturday.

The weather is bitterly cold today, it is -11 right now at 3:30pm, with the windchill however it's -20!! Hoping for a warm up for tomorrow though, forecast said +12 on the weekend for tomorrow, but as of right now the forecast says +7 for tomorrow. We sure are getting teased with the warm weather. Official first day of spring, tomorrow, March 20th!!
