happy sunday

77 days of summer

Yesterday was the last day of the sixth grade. After the school awards ceremony, we enjoyed lunch with Young Boy's favorite aunt, then went to see Shrek in 3D. Pretty fun stuff! Wow, 77 days until we have a seventh grader!?

the green owl

If you ever find yourself in Urbana, Ohio, stop by The Green Owl. It's soooo much fun! Eclectic, handmade, vintage...purses & bags, jewelry, cards & tags, homemade soaps. Owner, Kristie is sweet-as-can-be and talk about creative, oh my! You can visit her shop, Facebook page or her etsy site.






Thanks, Kristie for such a fun place to shop!

springfield flea market

Saturday was the perfect day for the flea market! Had a fun time with my sister, got a few small treasures and enjoyed the sights. Yep, my favorite way to enjoy the weekend!

the 200 dollar card (don't look if you're squeamish)

So the other night, my boys were gone...perfect time for a little crafting! I made one card and thought it needed a little flower embellishment. Using my best sewing scissors (yes, I do know better!) I was cutting the little flower from its WIRE stem and in that split second, I also cut a little 'v-chunk' in my skin! How embarrassing...it required 2 stitches! (And, I had to throw the flower away because I ruined it. Ugh.)

a tuesday smile from starbucks

Had a busy day, didn't take lunch 'til 2:30pm. I needed (yes, needed...) my Starbucks Iced Tea and I also picked up a ham breakfast sandwich to tide me over. Got back on the freeway to go back to work when I spotted this note. Hammy for Tammy. Now that's funny! Thanks, Rose (or was it Mike!?)

it's the little things...

These smell incredible this year.
