MM giftbag & my broken specks
my old pair :( two months ago, i dropped my classes on the floor & Corinne managed to step on them before i could pick them up. they were kinda loose, but still good to wear. until last weekend, they  broke :-( i was so upset. i ended up going to Costco the next day to see if they had another pair but they didn't. so we looked for a pair similar, but no luck. after going to Target to see their selection, i made an eye appt. since my perscription expired already. went in two days later &am

some layouts...

MM thank you mini album...
Making Memories has mini album i created for this months "Thank You..." theme. you remember those mini albums they had that came out years ago where you had to buy the inserts to put into the cover that already had the ribbon? well i still have one of those & thought it was perfect for this project! i really really loved working in this size & creating with their Autumn Splendar collection! you can check out a few of the other pages i did for the book on MM Blog...i still have more

2 cans of paint...
last weekend the weather was so lovely, warm & sunny! felt like spring. perfect time to do a little home improvement on the outside of the house. we've been wanting to paint the front door & shutters. the original colors are forest green for both...UGLY UGLY! i never liked the color, i love green, but not that green. so after discussion, we both agreed on black shutters & the red door i've been wanting for a long while. Tim primed the double doors most of Saturday. Sunday & Monday i painted the door & upstairs shutters. that's me standing there...LOL. (i'll have to find a photo showing the green doors, to show the difference better)
