Bath Time

I must have been sleeping through the last summer Olympics because while watching last night I saw a competition that I didn't even know was an event.

When did trampoline become a medal awarded event?

I saw the women compete and wow did they get up in the air!!!! YIKERS!!


Maggie received her first full bath from me on Sunday. She really needs her hair cut and I am shopping around for a groomer. She has been getting into these little burrs (sp?) at the forest and I am having to comb them out each night. She was very good during her shampoo with the exception of her face. She doesn't like to get her face wet. The hair dryer did not even phase her which was a great thing. After she was 70% dry I finished with the towel and her brush. She is now a very full fluffy girl, at least until I find a groomer.

The Rest of the Cards From the Weekend

This is the balance of the cards that I made last weekend using the paper that was in a kit that I bought with a very deep sale price. I am trying to get rid of supplies and create inventory for my upcoming craft fair. Have a great weekend!!!!

A Wonderful Weekend

This was a great relaxing weekend. I met 3 of the JUG's (Just Us Girls) for lunch this weekend. Thanks to Bubbles for suggesting a restaurant that I have not been to yet. Along with my state quest I also have a quest to try new restaurants whenever I am going out with my friends. We went to Benihana and I loved the chef and all the things that he did. The little volcano made with onions, the rythmic thing that he did with the salt and pepper shakers and the delicious food. Thanks to Bubbles I was able to combine my leftovers with hers and had a tasty lunch yesterday too. I went back to Bubbles' pool and had a nice float. What at times was a rainy overcast day turned into a very nice day and the sun came out for our pool time.

Yesterday I cranked out 18 cards for my upcoming craft fair. I used a kit that I got on sale at either Micheal's or JoAnn Fabrics. So between doing laundry and watching the Olympics I made, photographed and put in plastic wrappers all of my cards.

I will also be having a give-away very soon. The purge-o-palooza continues and I have moved to my craft supplies. Up for grabs will be paper that does not appeal to me but may be someone else's ooohhhhh or aaaahhhhh. I will figure out the best way to combo this and it will be in an upcoming blog post.

I will leave you with two of the cards that I made yesterday.

Words With Two Meanings

United States
Boot (footwear)
Bonnet (headwear)


England
Boot (the trunk of a car)
Bonnet (the hood of a car)



These were just a few of the items that our houseguest and I discussed after dinner last night.

We discussed accents too.
I was unaware that there are VERY many accents over in England depending on the region. So, just like we have different accents depending on where we live, the English too have the same thing.
