Day 273

Thursday, September 30, 2010

So the last few days I have been making gift card holders for Christmas.  I wish I would have started earlier so I could have made enough to go to a small craft fair and sell them, maybe next year.  I saw this idea on YouTube, (don't remember who, but I am pretty sure it was a Stampin' Up demonstrator) only the used some big shot die I think.  So I searched and found a cricut cut that was similar and made my own.  I really like how they turned out, and they were so simple!

Day 272

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

So tonight I was on the phone talking to my brother and Ron called on the other line and simply said come out front.  I wasn't sure what I was going to see, but I figured some sort of vandalism.  To my surprise, there was a raccoon in our tree!  Apparently he was sitting by my van when Ron walked up and the raccoon hissed at him and then got into the tree.  Raccoons are my favorite animal, so I was pretty excited!  Riley wanted to know if we could keep him, and Zach thought it was pretty cool.  I ran and grabbed my camera, but I haven't perfected night time photos yet!

Day 271

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

Today's POTD is of Riley watching his "favorite" show.  Of course everything is a "favorite" when you're 5.  He works really hard after dinner to get his homework done so that he can watch the Upside Down Show.  I really haven't watched it, but what parts I have caught are pretty silly, but if it gets him motivated to do his homework I am good with it!

Day 270

Monday, September 27, 2010

Today I went to a Creative Memories get together that I thought was to find out more about their digital software, but it turned out to be a sampling of their new products (which I had already seen on Saturday at the crop) and a little about some of the things that can be printed with their print center.  It was okay, although I could have made better use of my time.  It cost $5 to go, but I did win one of the door prizes that would have cost more to buy then $5, so I came out on top in the end!

Day 269

Sunday, September 26, 2010

Well, Ron officially started the house painting project!  It needs it really bad, but uugggghhhh!  He showed me that we have to pull some of the old nails out and put new ones back in and then fill the old holes and all other holes, caulk, sand, prime, then paint!  Let me just say uuugggghhhh!

Day 268

Saturday, September 25, 2010

Today's POTD is of my croppin' stuff in the van after a great day of work.  I actually got a few pages done, which is good for me, since I usually spend most of the time talking.  I guess someday I will decide I need to get caught up on my scrapbooks and make it happen, but for now I am good with a few pages here and there.

Day 267

Friday September, 24, 2010

Today's POTD is of Zach playing volleyball.  He started a few weeks ago with Special Olympics.  He sure has come a LONG way from his first season playing.  His serves are great, and from time to time he even hits the ball during the volley.  It is so great to see the growth!
