a little therapy goes a long way...

made our monthly stock up trip yesterday to Paris...
and this is my new stash of fun...

I found these for the bears...
on clearance for $1...

I finally found them!
chalk board labels for jars!

more washi tape...

and I had to try it out last night...

and then I had this in the mail...
hhhmmmmm
who could be that old?
not me, surely...
oh well, at least I am still around to get mail like this...

we had a high of 42 yesterday...
it was so wonderful!
its going to take several days to melt all this snow...
but we already have pools of water here and there...
its going to be very mushy out there...

maybe I can talk DH into a Sunday drive today...
I don't think I am going to get anything done on the kitchen this weekend...
except cooking, cleaning and dishes washed every day...
but that's ok...
there's plenty of time...
it will be done soon enough...

I also picked up 3 night gowns...
and DH bought me a cord less drill...
so I could take the cabinet doors off easier...
could that be a hint?
;0)

and up to 61 on Wednesday!
I think it might be here...
you know, that other s word...

a couple of things I was playing around with last night...
doing our shopping today...
need to stock up again on things...
have a great weekend!

think spring!

today will be our last day below 40 for awhile...
and I hope for good...

its been a long while since I have had any prints made of my photos...
so these are some that I have picked out to have done...

and to put in a scrapbook that I got last year...
maybe even the year before...

I didn't realize how much I missed color outside until I started sorting through the files...

and how much fun we have when we can be outside...

so, once today is gone...

I am hoping, as I am sure everyone else is, too..
that spring finally happens...

and how good it feels to have the windows open!

there's so much work to be done out there...
we have a lot of limbs down in the yard that need hauled to the burn pile...
which needs burning...
the north siding needs washed bad...
its turning green...
didn't get to it last fall and thought it could go until spring...
I was wrong...
too many warm days in December...
I don't know about you...
but for us, winter is officially over when we hook the hoses back up!

plans for the weekend?
kitchen and shopping...
or is it shopping and kitchen?
you will just have to stay tuned to find out!
Have a fabulous weekend!
;)

its time to pick the colors again...
to make the final choice...
it will happen this weekend if I can get out of here...

found this online and love, love, love it...

not much going on here...
just waiting for it to warm up and melt all the white stuff away...
gearing up to work on the kitchen again this weekend...
same kind of stuff going on...
laundry, vacuuming...
dishes, cooking here and there...
I just have not been feeling well this week...
so many around here have been sick...
with the same symptoms...

have a good day...
and smile...
;)

hump day....

it was a very wet day out...
freezing rain through the night turned to rain all day long...

and the birds loved the melting...
they found some long lost bird seed...

covered an old journal to use in my online selling...
kind of crazy keeping track of it all and who it goes to and how you get it to them...

bought a new light off of an old friend online, too...
and its perfect for the playroom...
I didn't think I wanted it, so when she came down on the price...
I thought Doug could use it...
but he's not getting it...
sorry, Doug...

so then I did a photo shoot with it to see how they came out without the flash...
and the colors are true...
easter candy has entered the building...

another online find...

this is going to be a great place to take photos of things I need to get rid of...
I know a lot of people have been doing this for a long time...
but its new for me...

I'm not getting rich yet...
but at least I am paying for what I am buying with it!

going to be cold, cold, cold!
staying in and keeping busy...
they are teasing us by saying we could be in the 50s by this time next week...
can it be so?
;)
have a super fun day!
