wednesday
along with shining my sink every morning and night & in keeping with flylady philosophy, i have started setting the table for dinner in the morning. i change out the plates, place mats, centerpiece, etc. each day. it just makes me so happy to walk by the dining room during the day and see a pretty table setting! chris just loved it and was so impressed (he's been wanting to start using the dining room on a daily basis.)

thursday
this is mckinlee's and my diy project--my new stamp shelves. i was so over keeping all my stampin' up stamps in those plastic boxes they come in and wanted to display my stamps so i could see what i have and maybe be prompted to use them more!
so i had 3 strips of 4 foot trim cut for me at home depot. i got really long nails, some white putty, (the trim was already white) and mckinlee and i went to work. it took quite a while and when we were finished the shelves were kind of beat up looking. not wanting to paint, we decided to "distress" them! mckinlee remembered how we distressed danielle's fireplace at her old house, so we did that to the shelves. didn't they turn out cute?

friday
well, today my biopsy was scheduled. it was a nasty, rainy, cold day and i had to be there at 9:00. i was almost there when my phone rang with the news that i would have to re-schedule. the dr. had an emergency surgery and the fill-in dr. didn't do biopsies. i know the poor nurse couldn't do anything about it, but i was so upset. i just wanted to get this over with! since i was already out, i stopped at starbucks and got a wonderful breakfast, cozied up at a little table and finished the book i had brought with me! the day wasn't a total loss :)

saturday
mckinlee and i spent most of saturday afternoon in our scrapbook room creating pretties and watching movies. we had so much fun and mckinlee got a boatload of pictures scrapbooked. cosmo got in on the action too!

sunday
a dear friend of mine here made this beautiful scarf for me, wrapped it all up and stuck it in my mailbox! the picture doesn't do it justice, but it is a wonderful rust color. the flower is a chartreuse-y color of green with dark brown and purple-y accents. i've already worn it with a sweater just that color of green and a plaid wool skirt.

monday
this isn't the final version, but going along with my flylady routine, i've made a daily, morning schedule to keep me on task. i was reading over what i was supposed to do this morning when i saw an entry that looked unfamiliar. i don't know when he did it, but chris apparently penciled in something for me between "drink coffee" and "eat breakfast". it just cracked me up--and was pretty cute! (if he knew i was posting this, he would die! hee hee!!)

tuesday
canvaspeople.com had a special where you could order an 8 x 10 canvas for free and just pay shipping. i got mine the other day and just love it. this was my favorite picture i took when we were in mexico and now it's in the guest room!

thanks for looking at my week--see you next tuesday!
