Something in the air

Well usually when I hear that saying it is reference to Christmas or someone falling in love. If you were around here lately it would have a totally different meaning.  I can never remember a year when the trees produced so much fluff.  It started early last week and my little one was miserable. His nose started running then his asthma kicked in high gear and by the time Sunday night rolled around his eyes were leaching as much green mucous as his nose.  One by one we were struck down with sore throats, migraines, itchy eyes and a hacking cough. We are all in misery. That my friends is my excuse for not posting sooner.  We have a reprieve from the fluff today so everyone seems to be feeling a bit better. I thought I would just pop on quickly to share my new haul of trinkets.  I am not sure what I am going to use them for but they are pretty just to look at for now.

Also, as summer is here and everyone seems to be partaking of canned beverages I have sent the word out around the camp that i want them to save pop tabs for me.  If you have a chance check out these two youtube videos for great ideas for crafting with pop tabs.

I love all this chickie makes.These girls are so talented!

More Lovely Scrapbook Paper to Ooogle Over

Hello Ladies;
My husband and I had our first daytime date in the last 10 years today. The bigger kidlets were at school and my little munchkin was at preschool so Hubby and I had a the chance to go out to a grown up restaurant  and to shop without trying to stay in the centre of the aisles so little hands did not remove the shelf contents onto the floor. I forgot what it was like to just wander a store with no time constraints. To make matters better he took me to Michael's where they had all their paper collections on sale 47% off.  Needless to say I had to grab two. I purchased The Primrose Stack and The Preppy Princess stack  (DCWV)and I can hardly wait to crack these babies open and start creating. I will be sure to post pictures of what I make. I am thinking that they will make lovely mini albums. If you have used these stacks please send me a link so I can see your projects.

Quote from my other blog that I thought was just too Happy not to share!

 

The Most Fun You Can Have Without Leaving Your Basement

Hello Friends,
I know that I intended to post crafty and family related stuff on this blog on a more..ahem...regular basis, but that is the reality of being a Mommy Blogger right? We are busy doing the Mommy side of it and have little time for the blogging end. That being said I have to share with you one of my new favourite things.  Blog Hops! I just discovered them and I am having a blast meeting new folks with common interests. Today I am part of the Blog Lovin Blog Hop at Happy Kids Inc.

You should try it. Even if you don't have a blog, just start at the beginning (or end if you want to be all wild and crazy) and pop onto each blog link. You will be amazed at the things people blog about! You are bound to find some interesting new blogs to follow.  So though this is neither crafty, homeschool, recipe or family life related I am posting this baby and filing it under Inevitable Ramblings of My Daily Life.  See, I knew that little loophole in the description would pay off someday!
