Flannel sheets -- ahhhhh!!! I haven't used these since college when we slept in a cold dorm in the sorority house -- named that because we had to sleep with the windows open! I forgot how warm they are. Slept on them last night and it felt so good to slip into bed.
Did I have to have this? No. Did I need to spend the money on this? No. Have I wanted one for a long time? Yes. Found a good deal on one so I went for it. I drink coffee for flavor, not caffeine. So I often want some but do not want to make a whole pot. So this really is perfect for me. Whether I NEEDED it or not! :-)
Yesterday I talked about a special colleague who is leaving the company. This is a picture from the happy hour we had for him last night. (he's the one in the blue shirt) We will miss you Steve!
I've been working on an album as a gift for a special work colleague who is leaving the company. Truthfully, I do not enjoy scrapbooking anymore but for him? I gladly agreed to do it. Now that it's finished I can get back to card making! :-)
I had some friends over for dinner last night and was looking for one of a number of trivets I had somewhere. Of course I found none of them but stumbled on this.... A trivet my niece Sami made for me when she was little (she is 22 now). Back in the days when she was Sammy (because that is the way she signed it on the back). :-) Of course this was much better than any of the other ones I would have found. THIS one made me smile.
FINALLY a better way to store Copic markers! The compartments are slightly slanted and you can grab whole color families at once. Perfect! And of course it makes it very obvious that I NEED more purples! heehee
Here is where to get them.
All willing ducks -- come on in! Raining -- all day. Turning part of my back yard into a swamp. Lovely....
Cherry crumble --- with Benjamin Twiggs' cherry pie filling (shameless plug for my sister's store!). I don't even like fruity desserts but this stuff is good. And you wanna know the silly things that I appreciate? Have you noticed how often you look at a recipe and it says to get an X ounce size can and the cans have been downsized? Almost all the time. Not this -- 21 ounces is still 21 ounces. OK, it doesn't take much to make me happy...
So you're thinking... oops! Jana pulled a picture from December by mistake! Nope. In my family room right now. I'm still rehabing my knee and I'm not taking any chances by trying to put this away. Do I get credit that I don't turn the lights on? And how can it hurt to have an angel looking down on you all year round? :-)
Goodies from Hero Arts for the card class I am teaching next week. I am SO grateful to them (and Jennifer) for their generosity in supporting my teaching.
