Sunday Recap

It's been a VERY cold week here in Houston. We've had 3 nights of freezing temperatures. Fortunately, there has been no precipitation (or Participation, as Adam keeps calling it. LOL!). Just super cold temperatures. But, that means we get to have a fire. I love a good blazing fire.

It also means that I could stay inside all weekend and play at The LilyPad's 3rd Birthday Bash! The ladies over there are lots of fun! I even won a couple gift cards during the Saturday evening chat - to Valorie Wibbens (Spotted Dog Designs) and Amy Sumrall. Can't wait to get some new goodies from both of them. But in the meantime, I picked up a TON of new stuff from Kaye Winiecki at The LilyPad's 30% off sale. Right now Kaye and Kristin Rice (K Studio) are my two new favorite designers of digi products. Here's what I got:


and these as well...including something from Amy Martin and Amy Wolff:


And since I'm showing off my digi purchases, I need to include these other things as well...
Gina Miller's contribution to the LilyPad's BYOC:


And the other pieces of the BYOC that I picked up:


Well...this was supposed to be a Project 365 post, but looks like that will have to wait until tomorrow. Yes...I'm keeping up with it. You'll just have to come back later to see what we've been up to.

Project 365

...or how many times am I going to attempt to do this? Once again I am embarking on a Photo-A-Day journey. The first year I made it 45 days before I pooped out. Last year, I made it about 3 weeks before it got to be too much. This year I swore I wasn't going to do it, but here I am, on January 4th, with photos from the first 4 days of the year. So, rather than say I'm "doing it" I will say that I will take a photo each day that I feel like it. And I will post those photos here...when I feel like it. No pressure. No guilt. Just some photos that represent our everyday life.

First...our New Year's Kitty.


The cats were being cute on the 1st, so I thought I should highlight all 3 of them:


Saturday, I went to Bonnie Blue Quilt's Warehouse Sale. I'm getting back into quilting, so this was the perfect opportunity to stock up on Civil War prints:


Sunday, Danny took down all the outside lights...and got tangled up a bit:


Some of the other ladies who are doing P365 are taking photos of each family member on their birth day, so today it's Geary (who even smiled for me :) ):


So how are you doing on your P365?

New Year...New Look

Just updating the look of my tired old blog. I'll be back a little later to share some new photos and give an update on all our doings.

Bye for now~
