OH, and my Monday... well, I woke up sneezing my head off and felt pretty tough, but went on in to work because I only have 2 more days AND THEN I'M QUITTING! That's right.. Thursday is my LAST day after 7 years!I will be a SAHM! (Always wanted to say that!) Oh, and I took my 18 yr. old son for his driving test and he is now an official licensed driver!! Still feel bad this evening, but at least I'm almost done with work and can look forward to my very first PDW kit!!I can't wait to get it and play!! Hoping your Tuesday is a better day! Smile! God loves you!!
Happy Scrappin' and Merry Christmas!

Funny this should come up! My hubby just asked me a few minutes ago if things were better because he said I was having a pretty rough Monday evening when I got home from work! It was stinkin cold today, but at least it didn't rain (or snow). I don't mind the snow except when people don't know how to drive in it and abandon their cars on the freeway!

Wow Michelle, It's great how you are able to see something and change it in your mind to something waaaaaaaay cuter!

The cleaning lady was here this week :) I de-cluttered. The girls came home from school and put the ornaments on th tree. I was supposed to get my new dishwasher installed but not all the parts were included and the stores were closed by the time we were doing it, so hopefully today.
Super cute book. Love whatever it is that you used for snow.

My Monday I'm glad to say was amazing. LOVE a rainy day, went to the gym and had a great workout, and then went to my boys school band concert which was great. Hope your Tuesday is a better day.

Posted by: bianca | December 08, 2009 at 10:34 PM
ok your brain is so creative!!I would have never thought of that- love that you left the cover the same as it was -- such a cute book - I do't think ours has those anymore! My monday was good! our coughs are getting better! Snowed here and it made drive to school longer but we made it safely there and back!!!
