last week was a crazy week. I do not know what was up with my emotions...but it wasn't a good week. So far, this week is starting out better. But it's cold. And I am so sick and tired of this cold weather! And it's so cold in my house. I am miserable!
On Wednesday, I ditched the cold house to hang out with my friend Marcie. Marcie and I have known each other since I had my craft store, way back when I was preggo! We parted ways for a few years....and I have tons of regrets for that...but she has told me no worries! She's such a sweetheart! I looked her back up when yummy boyfriend bought his truck, because Marcie's hubby was the sales manager at the Ford dealership..and he was no longer there, so I was curious. I'm so glad she responded back to my facebook friend request! Oh how I have missed her and her "sweetness". So anyway...back to what we did. She told me about this AWESOME scrapbook store in Ontario. I've always seen it while flying by on the freeway, but have never stopped. Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't! I could do some serious damage in there! But I was good. I had a plan! Something that I have learned from Marcie. Buy for what you want to work on. I wanted to make a mini album for my 40th birthday, like the one I did for my 39th. So I only bought things for that! And I'm dying to use it! This Wednesday....going over to Marcies!
And while we were down there, we went to this really neat store called Tai Pan. It's all decorative and floral. Gosh I wish I were rich! I wanted a certain floral arrangement, but it was $140.00!!! I sneaked out with only spending $10.00 on this one. My table really NEEDED something!
We had all the boys this year for Easter! It was great! Christopher is approaching 13 this April, so I wasn't sure if he'd be into the whole "egg coloring", but he was, and it was fun and all 3 had a good time! Christopher got caught mixing colors.....he was going for "grunge". I'll post pics of them with their easter baskets in a bit. I didn't use my good camera...battery was dead. Hoping they even turned out. I HATE my little point and shoot camera!
I am finishing up some dolls today. I actually just cleaned off my sewing table! And now I'm ready to go! Here are closeups of Lucy & Lloyd. The first pic of Lucy, she's bald. But she has some hair now! I should have them on my website by Tuesday. The weather is icky today, which means I cannot go outside and take their pics! So hoping for nicer weather tomorrow!
until my next post! bye bye!
Nicole, that is a great scrapbook store, and Tai Pan is a great place too. I miss that.
Isn't it nice to reconnect with old friends that you parted ways with for whatever reason? I think it's great to forgive and forget and move on. Glad you two did that. There's a true friend for ya.
