A Little Something I Made for My Cubbie!

I have been sadly neglecting this blog, kind of lost the mojo to type each day and for that reason I shifted over to You Tube. Somethings just can't be shared with a video but rather best shared with words, would you not agree?

This week begins my fifth week at a new job and I am now out of training. Am I fully trained? Not even a chance, but I love the job and especially my co-workers! Which brings me to my topic today!

I'm back in a cubbie, stark, bland and no personality. I wanted to bring some pictures of my family but not fill up every open space in my work area.

Over the weekend, I worked on a project specifically for my cubbie and wanted to share it with you today. This project was inspired by Heidi Swapp and a project share she did here and here.

 

Here we go...

 

 

I dug through my stash and put this together in maybe an hour at the most.

It needed to be simple so that the pages stay flat.

 

 

My first two pictures had to be of my granddaughter, Macie. She's now 18 months old and so much fun, just beginning to love dolls!

 

 

I shared this picture on FB last weekend, Macie and her family were here and she loves to watch

kitty videos on You Tube and she knew right away how to work that mouse.

 

 

I also wanted to include my children, this page shows two of my three children.

All grown up but still kids in my heart.

 

 

This is one of the many blurry pictures from Macie's first birthday.

She is one of the hardest people to photograph now since she is never sitting still.

 

 

Macie is pretty tired in this picture taken on Christmas day.

She had so much fun playing with her new kitchen that day!

 

 

One of Macie's other quiet times is after bath and again, more You Tube videos!

She loves Mickey Mouse Club and watching Itsy Bitsy spider (over and over and over again!).

 

 

I'm very happy with how this turned out and can add pages as time goes on.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Wishing you all a wonderful week.

Linking to these parties.

Great Savings Now Through April!

I'm excited to announce that I recently signed up to become a consultant for Close to My Heart. 

 I shared on You Tube what I received for my kit to get started.

 

CTMH  

  Now through the end of April, CTMH has sweetened the ability to become a consultant.   I hope you'll take a few minutes and learn about starting your career or maybe just saving money on papercrafting supplies and watch my video.   Have a wonderful day!!

Finally Found Some Things at Goodwill!

I've been visiting my favorite Goodwill every few weeks and haven't been finding anything.

It can be discouraging and then I visit them more infrequently.

Now that it's sort of warming up (parts of our state are in a winter alert),

people are beginning the spring cleaning and taking things to Goodwill!

Let me show you my finds!

One item I always keep my eyes open for is toys for our granddaughter, Macie.
Found this just like new, kid size Dirt Devil vacuum. Doesn't every kid love to
pretend they are cleaning house?

This visit the book section was overflowing and I tend to stay away but I couldn't resist this cookbook. I'll take the book jacket off and add it to my collection of cookbooks.
I'll share my collection of cookbooks very soon, most are Goodwill finds and
I've been very spoiled by what I've aquired.

This dusty little thing is a cast iron cat figurine. I plan to set this outside on our covered deck
once the weather warms up. It's still a few weeks off before that's going to happen though.

 

While I'm typically not into primitive decorating, I snatched

this grater for $1 and know exactly where it's going to go.

I remember the days when I used to use a grater just like this.

For some reason our Goodwill has a ton of trophies and I pass them by all the time.
The trophies are usually baseball/softball inspired but there were a few
bowling trophies.
I'm making plans for a wii bowling competiton very soon!

And that wraps up what I found yesterday at Goodwill.
I'm getting excited that rummage season is coming up very soon.
If you've never visited a Goodwill before, you might need to visit
them many times before you find something. But I guarantee, with
persistance, you will eventually find something amazing!

Thanks for stopping by today!
I'm so sorry that I had to put the verification back on,
I was getting slammed with spam comments and I'm
hoping this will send those spammers some place else.

Have a wonderful week!!
