In honor of.....

Administrative Professional's Day

(04-15-09)

In honor of Administrative Professional's Day, my boss and his sweet wife, Christy, brought these flowers to me at work; along with a card and a gift certificate for Chili's. Isn't the arrangement pretty? Even though Christy called me later in the day to say there was a big "goof-up"---it really wasn't Administrative Professional's Day today after all---it's not until next week! Oh well, better earlier than late, right? We got quite the giggle out of that. I didn't mind at all, I really appreciated the gesture.

Azalea Time

In Bloom

(04-14-09)

Finally, some blooms opening up! This certainly won't be the most spectacular season for my one lone azalea bush---but at least it's adding some color around my front door. With the freezing spells and high winds we experienced the last couple of weeks, I wasn't sure any of the buds would even survive. I covered it up the nights we were predicted to have freezing temperatures---I guess it really does help. I'll be enjoying while it lasts!!!

Who knew?

A Bisquick Recipe Book? Who knew?
(04-13-09)

Look what I found while I was browsing at the library today. Who knew there would be a whole cookbook dedicated to nothing but Bisquick mix? That's something I always have on hand in my cabinet. Most of the time it's used for breakfast pancakes, and that's usually only when everyone is home for the weekend to enjoy them. But, every once in a while I get really adventurous and use the mix for some quick, easy biscuits. I'll be thumbing through the book tonight and hopefully I'll be able to share some of my discoveries. The recipes have to be easy-peasy. We're talking Bisquick, here!!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a happy Easter. I spent the day at Deda's with family. It was cold, dreary and damp outside--but warm, cozy and playful inside.

A Girl's Day Out

Bellini Beauty

(04-11-09)

It was so much fun to finally get together with the girls on Saturday. There were five of us, Paula, Debbie, Kathy, Robin and myself. Mom joins us occasionally, but she had previous plans this time around. We missed you, mom! We met at the scrapbook store (as usual) and had a great time. I'm so sad I didn't take any pics of us on Saturday!! How did that happen? Maybe because all 5 of us were non-stop talkers, trying to play catch up with all of our tidbits of news and stories that accumulated over the past 5 months. But, I did manage to get a shot of our "drink of the day" while food choices were being made around the table. Great company, funny stories, yummy food, layouts to share and pictures to catch up on---it was really awesome to see everyone. I can't wait until the next time. Thanks, girls!!!

....a little peek!!!

Colors Galore

(04-10-09)

Here's a little peek of my current project. I just can't seem to have idle hands, is that a disease? I'm using lots of colors in this one, so it's tons of fun. It also helps brighten up these cloudy days. Will we ever see the sun again?

.....as I promised

Remember this?
I have the finished product complete and dressing up my bed. I love it!!

I got the inspiration and pattern on Lucy's blog. She loves color and it's so much fun to follow her projects. If you need some color to brighten your day, go visit her world!!!
