Day 363 - 2010

I got a new EXPEDIT shelf from IKEA (dad picked it up for me - thanks Dad), and it fits perfectly where I wanted it. One of the baskets holds all of our ipod stuff - wires, cases and boxes, and one holds my Project Life stuff for the time being. I'm hoping to declutter the hallway shelf and utilize the baskets more here. The digital frame fits nicely on top. What I like most is that it fits our scrapbooks and makes them accessible for the kids to look at them. I love it when a plan comes together.

Day 54 - 2010

Something we display in our home...

This would be our art display. Our refrigerator is typically covered so the door to the basement has become our art door. I can't say how often it gets changed up but the kids are pretty good at putting up their own artwork if they feel it warrants it! Works for me!

Day 16 - 2010

Today was painting party day at the church. We had a great turnout and did a tonne of work in one day. The result is a very bright, cheery new preschool room. The kids helped and when they grew tired, they took in a movie in the library. It was a very productive but LONGGGG day (with Bible study afterwards!)

Day 86 - Friday, March 27, 2009

Yes I do this. Often. Take pictures of things I like on TV that is. For instance, this is a backsplash from the tv show Designer's Inc that I like - and may one day want to use if we ever get a backsplash in our kitchen.

Day 66 - Saturday, March 7, 2009

Daddy had an eager helper with putting up the curtains again. Hopefully they will stay up better this time. We opted out of skiing with friends today due to the gorgeous weather and less-then-likely good skiing conditions. Instead of spending much time outdoors though, we got several indoor projects done.

Day 62 - Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Marlee helped with some painting this morning. I was able to get a piece of trim the exact size I needed - with a coat of white paint on it (the colour I wanted) for $2.70 at the Restore. Score! We put another coat of paint on it together. It will be put up in her room above her windows so we can put her curtains back up.

Day 50 - Thursday, February 19, 2009

I was missing a photo of our nativity set (Willow Tree from Sarah last Christmas) for a scrapbook layout I want to do, so I set it all up again. And took it back down again. Did I mention she gave me some new pieces this Christmas? YEY!!!

Day 40 - Monday, February 9, 2009

Marlee had the camera for a few minutes today - this is one of her photos. Do you think kids live here? (It's our front door).

Day 28 - Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Remember how we took the Christmas tree outside a few weeks ago? Well it is still here and has been sitting beside the fire hydrant since then (3 weeks now?). It appears that somebody came by today to clear out the hydrants and there is our tree. Across the driveway.
