Weed Whacker, Curtain Rods, Curtains, Scrapping Goodies, Oh the excitement!!

Well Good afternoon all! Today has been a long day for CJ and I!! We woke up this morning got dress and headed out on our Adventure to find a cheap weed whacker!! We went to 3 different stores before I found one! CJ was getting tired and cranky lol. I got the weed whacker was very excited about that!! Yay! Now I just have to tackle down this jungle that I call my back yard! I also go curtain rods for my kitchen and dining room window. Maybe I wont be to scared to go downstairs at night.

I bought a curtain at Target but when I got home it wasn't what I wanted!! It was all one piece but covered up both windows. I looked for the receipt but the lady didnt give it to me, so I dont think that I could of taken it back. It was only $10 so not to much of a big deal plus I didnt want to go outside in the heat again. I sat there and was thinking "how can I make this work?" Well I got this clever idea to CUT the curtains,lol. Reminder I dont have a sewing machine at all, lol. I cut it in half and I went upstairs and got my supplies to hand sew what I cut!! It was very interesting to sew this with my one year old all over me but I did get it done! Sorry the Picture is dark. I will though take another one when it is darker outside. To me I think it came out great. I was very happy with the end results of my little problem solving that I did!! I was also excited to accomplish putting up curtains in the kitchen and dining area as well!!(dinning area)

Well I will also add all of the scrapbooking goodies that my mommy bought for me when I was down there visiting her. She spoiled me I would like to say. I love my mom so much!! She is the greatest!! She bought me a crop-a-dile!!! I also got some cuttlebug embossing folders, fiskars dry embossing thing, stapler, brads, stamps, ribbons, and chipboard tabs. Now I just need to get my cuttlebug!!!


While I was on my vacation my Stampin' Up! came in the mail for me! I was so excited to get home and open my box of goodies. That was the first thing that I did when I got home from the airport. I didnt even unpack that car. I just got my box and opened it up, lol. Now I am ready to start selling things!! Anyone want to buy? lol! Well I will post a picture of all my goodies that I got. I want to order more things which of course I will be doing. My mom also told me that she is going to be my #1 customer! Maybe I can get my mother in law to buy from me as well. Now its time to play with all of my goodies that I have. Now what am I going to make? Hmmm... I guess I should practice my explosion box that I need to make for a swap on CM.

Well Lovely ladies thanks for reading my long blog. I will keep you all updated with everything.
