the monday update

this has been a "stay at home" kind of weekend. i haven't felt like doing much of anything so i spent most of saturday in my scrapbook room. i organized and threw away a lot of stuff and made cards with mckinlee.
here are some of the cards i made:

this a collage of pictures from florida that i recently found a frame for and hung. i also found this old tape measure that i think was my dad's that i added to the frame.
evidence of my cleaning out. the top shelf is for my stampin' up stuff. the second shelf is for new items that i haven't used yet and shelf 3 & 4 are completely empty--yay! (don't worry-i'm sure they will soon be filled!)
i've been organizing this shelf of scrapbook items by color. it's taken a long time and i'm still not done. the little blue buckets have acrylic stamps and blocks in them and the wooden box is filled with cards i've made.
mckinlee loves to make cards too and is so creative! (looks like someone needs a new polish job)
the weekend has also included a lot of blog surfing. this is one of my favorite blogs--now i just need to make some of wonderful things on it!
i've also been reading a lot. just finished this book--it was pretty good.
because i start coughing inexplicably out of a dead sleep, i have been moving to the guest room so i won't keep chris up all night! (2 things i cannot possibly sleep without...my contoured pillow and my mask. chris tells me he feels like he's sleeping with the lone ranger. ha!)
didn't feel like going to the meeting on sunday, so mckinlee and i called in and listened over the phone--so glad we did. we heard a wonderful talk about god being the grand creator and a lesson about jesus' role as the messiah--all while sitting in my comfy chair wearing my slippers!
FINALLY, started feeling better on sunday evening. chris left for a business trip to delaware so mck and i got take-out. me=pei wei, mck=freddy's. the spicy korean is my favorite. i really need to try something new, but every time i go i always get the same thing. their chocolate chip cookies had just been baked and were still warm and i stopped at joanns on the way home and got a new scrapbook magazine i'd been wanting. so it turned out to be a pretty good night.
i've got a busy week ahead. mckinlee's book fair is this week and i'm working 3 days of it. that will be fun and hopefully, i'll feel ok.
have a good week!
