~This and That Tuesday~

Well, the weekend was a good one for me, Saturday I went to GW but nothing there...that wasn't so good but I did stop at JoAnn's and found the CS special issue! Looks like I'll be buying it there because they do get it alot quicker than Walmart.

I've so enjoyed looking and reading about Linda Silvas home, I've been a big fan of her home for a while even before we started blogging:) I'd always go to her webshots then was thrilled when I found out she had a blog:) I really liked how she explained not to use so many small things and that to look for the "wow" and use a large object then a few smalls.


I watched the girls this morning and there is a half hour after I take Syd to the bus before I have to dress Sam for preschool so I redid Michele's shelves, taking away all the smalls and making a completely different look to it and dusted for her, gave me some play time:)

Also in the mail that day came the spring Mercantile Gatherings magazine, Linda Rudman's home is shown and oh I just loved how they framed the pictures of her home, of course I've just poured over it:) Also in the mail came a wonderful box of goodies from the swap we had at Angie's. My swap partner was Toni ...look at the cute card she made and it included a sweet note too:) Toni, how did you know I needed a new spring magnetic tablet for my fridge? Love the pen too with the cross and the little note book kit to do with scrap paper. I'm almost afraid to try it because I've never worked with paper before:) Thanks you so much Toni, I'm really going to enjoy this:)

Then Friday Sue sent the cupcake calender that I won from her blog, the cupcakes are just beautiful the girls will love it Sue...thanks so much!

I did manage to take down the Americana sign that I had under my kitchen cabinets and put this stitchery there instead...no I didn't do this one, I won it on ebay a few years ago.

I printed off this German Easter rabbit over at Dame Penniwig's , we got a new printer and it is wonderful for things like this...the paper is creme BTW:) I think it will really add to my spring stuff this year, thanks !

That's about all I've been up to lately just waiting for spring to show it's face...oh I do have these updates on some things :

1. The fireplace insert has worked out just great, our home is all electric Stush said our electric bill was 250.00 for one month...after a month of having the fireplace insert in and that includes the days of zero temps and below, the bill was 56.00!!! What a savings huh?

2. I'm going to go back to commenting to you on my blog comment section, I know some of you have asked questions and I always forget to write them down so I'll be doing that, I don't want you to think I'm being rude...just forgetting:)

Have a wonderful day everyone!
