Scrapbook steals day two

Party favor from the event (blanket)





Correction from yesterday's post it's NOT Project life, it is Simple Stories Snap Album.

Today was prizes and open crop. I have done some cards with all of the "extra" paper and stickers from projects.







(Looks green!! The table cloth is white so the color is off!!)

Scrapbook Steals Retreat 2014

The sales area


The seating area


Our gift bag had the following:
Nice slice bag


Box punch board


Odds and ends








Thick pad of paper


And then the boas came out





Added support!



Then we got down to business:
Project number one:


Packet for project number two is a LARGE pack of Project Life











I will have to share this one when it's done with pictures. 12 pages when done.


Next project:


A little fun with the props :)


The next project was to do something you've never done with this packet.... And I did nothing with it. I finished the LARGE Project Life package


Last project of the day:



Ok and with that it's dinner and open crop for the duration.

One decision made!!

The stove has been purchased. :) it's on layaway with Sears until the cabinets and flooring are done (not In that order)

Why white? The current fridge is white, the cabinets will be white, the dishwasher will be white...so why not the last appliance as well, right? And it also saves a bit of cash that way too.

Drop leaf table

It all started on July 10th. (http://donnasworddoodles.blogspot.com/2014/07/i-in-love.html).


And today I'm DONE!!


Who could resist a price like that? AND I got it $20 less than that!


After digging into it I found it's not original, however was quite old. It's veneer, however it made me less fearful of doing JUST what I wanted with it!!

So I sanded the top...


Restrained it....


Then painted the bottom....


And painted the chairs!!








And as of today they are all done. Yes, I know there are only five...that's thrift store life. I have a few "extras" around that will fit in just fine.


Ah, I'm so loving this table and chair!!

Furry visitor

I looked up and saw this squirrel with one paw on the window staring at us! Ha!
I had to tell Butch not to scare him and I managed to get a picture before hope disappeared. Then he was back, but this time I could see he had just laid down...


Zoomed in a bit...


I sent Angela upon the table and she could see him stretched out watching to world go by :)


So we such out to get a picture of him chillin. Ha! Funny little guy as long as he states put if my attic :)

The work is done for the weekend. We ended up working outside today on the fence line taking out all the shrubs and the chain link fence. HARD work as the fence had grown into the trees and roots after so many years!


Poor butch pulling a plastic bag out of the saw in pieces after it hit sucked in from the edge if the fence. There's a lot of leaves and junk in there. Yuck!


The after picture. All the chain removed and the excess shrubs removed and hauled to,the street.


Overlooking his domain.


The final parting shot of the kitchen.


Soooo nice to have it open now to get the electrical moved over and the flooring done. Peninsula installed and it will be a nice kitchen/dining room. We only gained 6" by removing the wall, but it should make it feel bigger on the long run. Brighter if nothing else!!


The wall and cabinet remains from that side of the house. Along with pallets from the shed out back.


The shrubs from the fence row.


The house is looking loved ;)
