Masterpiece Monday

After a great weekend of shopping, hanging with my fam and my bff I was ready to put my inspiration to the test.  I got so inspired at Hobby Lobby I had to create something!!!  Here is a masterpiece layout of my masterpiece daughter!  This pix was taken over the summer after she got a haircut.  Love that smile!!!
Enjoy!!

I've been to the Mecca

I've read all over the blogs about Hobby Lobby stores and have added it to my list of stores to visit but the closest one was, WAS, hours away until now!!!!  The mecca has opened just a short drive down the beltway.  BFF and me had to go on an outing.  WHAT an eye opener.  Needless to say, we did not get to see everything and are planning on adding it to our Black Friday list!

How to make your Hobby Lobby trip a hit
1 - check the schedule - did not know they were only open until 8 p.m. and closed on Sunday (bummer for us, lucky for the worker bees)
2 - hit the potty first - they are usually in the back corner.  We got so excited within the first few aisles we had to make a run for it and wasted a good 15 minutes shopping time!
3 - grab a cart - if you think you're going to just grab a thing or two, your fooling yourself.  Plus you don't want your coat or purse  slow you down, just throw 'em in the cart and go baby!
4 - check for coupons before you go but even if you don't have any, their sales will have you sweatin!

Had a great time!  Can't wait to go back!!

Boo on the Boo

Where is the Halloween spirit in my neighborhood?  It's disappeared like a ghost!  We did our monsterly deed by ringing and running.  Hopefully this week the spirit will be back.  Until then ... I'll just have to create my own and live amongst the shadows of the blogs!!!

Sawdust and Paperscraps ... love this idea!

Sweet Something Design

Way to get my boo on!!!

House of Boo

The two over-achieving neighbors that started the 'BOO-ing' moved away since last Halloween so it's up to us to stir the pot!  I got a few things at Walmart today but also found a ton of stuff in the basement while cleaning last week.  I printed the boo instruction from my favorite blog idol TomKat Studio.  Okay, so they're sand buckets but they are halloweenie!!!

The mystery for today ... my husband noticed a free dresser on his posting board at work ... needless to say he is picking it up today!  I know nothing about it other than it's kinda medium wood, with nine drawers and it's 5'9" long!!!  The other mystery is what am I going to do with it?!?!?  I'll post some pix tomorrow and you can help me out!

The masterpiece for today ... can you believe I used my cricut to cut this out?  My hub loves these big huge marshmallows and I picked up a fresh bag today.  They are huge!!!  I used Storybook and Accent Essentials and some cling sheets!  Whatcha think?  

It's 'FALL' around my house!

Did you ever have one of those days where you wake up and feel like you are just going to scratch everything off your list, even the things you just added?  Hop in the shower, have no thought about what to wear, full of energy?  Then, while tackling the never ending laundry, you fall down the freakin' stairs?  Well, that was my morning, so far.  I'm working on my 40 oz (coffee) and my everything bagel and will get myself back on track as soon as I scratch falling down the stairs off my list for today!

My goal is to get my chores done by noonish then work a little in my scrap room ... hope that works out!  I have a few things to prep for my upcoming crop (sshhh .. secrets!!) and a few other things I'd like to accomplish in there ... I saw this during my morning run thru the blogs and remembered that I just threw away a fake coffee can this morning!  I'm not going to cross stitch it but I'm sure I have some paper to cover it!

Saw it over on Craftblog

Great ... a bird just flew into my window ... NO LIE!!!!!

Whew!  Just went to check and it's breathing, just stunned but looked okay.  Well now there's something else to add to my list!  

EEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!
