The stuff we found.....

Yesterday, Brian and I went through his boxes that traveled from his old bedroom in Morgan to our house. I had gone through a lot of his things last weekend while in Morgan, but was afraid I was going to throw things that he wanted so I didn't do a really thorough job. I did get rid of his rock collection (with his permission) and a letter from a 4-H girl.


Here are some of the treasures that we found.

He swears this wasn't his.... I really don't believe him!

We also found some of his high school clay workings. This one is kind of cute. I don't really understand the purpose of the duck inside the cup, but maybe it was the assignment :)

A Christmas card was found.... green and all!
Not at all sure when this is from.

Here are all the empty boxes!

Brian is also happy to know his old cougar clothes will continue on with Cedar Mountain. Our little nephew Dawson is currently a cougar and I'm sure will proudly display his school pride!

What a weekend!

This has been the weekend of home improvement! Mom and Joe drove to our house to help out with some projects. It feels soooo good to have been able to accomplish so much this weekend.

1. Nursery Chair rail:

The only things left in the nursery are the blinds and curtains which we will be doing tomorrow.


2. Stripping and re-caulking the downstairs shower.

We now have to wait and see if it is still leaking and if not, patch the sheet rock and replace the trim.

Yes... this is mold... YUCK!

3. Tree/bush trimming:

4. Lighting: Joe put a dimmer switch and new fixture in the nursery, moved the white ceiling fan from our living room to the guest bedroom, and installed a new ceiling fan in the living room.




5. Got a wedding present: Mom and Joe told us at the wedding when we knew of something that we wanted to let them know.... we decided on a rocker/recliner for the nursery. We decided that we were going to try it out in the living room for a while first.





6. Stacy's Graduation: On Friday, my Mom, my cousin Beth, and I drove to Fergus Falls for Stacy's graduation. No pics as they are on Mom's camera. Congrats Stacy!!!!!!!

Crazy Bird

Here is a little video of the crazy robin that attacks our window daily!




Sorry it is sideways.... I don't know how to fix it :(

Opinions?

I was just looking online for some pink butterflies in case we have a girl to "girl up" the nursery a bit. Here are two good options. Which do you like better to go with the already present decor?

Scrapbooking

So, I have delved back into the world of scrapbooking. I was picking up a few adhesives at Archivers and little did I know that April is National Scrapbooking month. Luckily I happened to have Friday off so it was only mildly insane in there. They had some make and take projects and since it was the last weekend of national scrapbooking month, there were 3 projects. I completed all 3 and had a marvelous time doing so.

Then later that night I went to scrap mania at the same location. It was a bit intimidating as there were people there with enough scrapbooking tools to fill my largest suitcase! I went by myself so I sat at a table with 3 other fabulous ladies and they made me feel right at home. The employees were great and overall I had a wonderful time! I think that I am going to try and do this monthly. They also have die cuts that you can use at no cost... that is very nice for a beginner like me :)


Here are the projects that I did.
