The company is all gone and Jeff and Sara are in Hawaii on their honeymoon so it's back to real life today - darn!  I was having so much fun I didn't want it to end.   Need to get my house back in order - after all the cleaning before the wedding festivities it now looks like a tornado went thru here.  Since I have class tonight I guess I better start with getting the kits cut and bagged for that and then do some straightening up. 

Have a wonderful day.

Ahhh....one last day of fun!  I took Tracy and Tony to the airport this morning ....boo hoo... but I still have a couple of California relatives here.  Scott has never been to Colorado so I thought a trip over the Colorado National Monument this morning was a must.  Tracy and Tony took them up to Grand Mesa yesterday and they loved it.   So.....I'm off for a little sight-seeing.

Enjoy your day!

Ahhhh.....taking a break from the whole shed thing today.  The cleaning out is all done but Jeff is working on putting up some wire in there to try and keep the birds out.  Today I'm going to try and get some stamping done - gosh, it's been two weeks since I've done any stamping so it's time!

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Saturday - I love these Martha Washington geraniums and I buy a different one each year for my patio - I think this one has been my favorite so far.

Whew - I'm rather tired!  But after two full days of physical labor (and 5 trips to the dump!) the shed is almost done (the open part anyway - the enclosed part will have to wait for another day)  It's probably cleaner than it's been in 40 years - now if I can just find a way to keep the darn birds out of there!   Anyone know of a good way to get rid of pigeons???

Have a great day!

What I hoped was going to be a one day job has turned into at least a two-day job!  We made a lot of progress yesterday on the shed but still have quite a bit to do.  So, it's back to work on that today.  We're celebrating a friend's birthday tonight so at least I have something fun to look forward to. 

Enjoy your day!

The card - stamped images are from SU.  Colors are wisteria, celery and white.

My son decided today would be the day we cleaned out the mess in the shed in back of the house.  Ugh - that was really not in my plans for the day, but I've been wanting to get it done for so long that I was not going to take a chance that he would change his mind if I tried to change it to another day.  Hopefully we can get it all done in one day!

Have a fabulous day!
