Until my boys get home....if not sooner.
Tom and Erik will load up the truck today and I hope leave after that. I will be worried about them until they get here. UGH! I hate stress!
In any event, I still have the livingroom to clean up and my scraproom. I also have to get the fridge pulled out and vacuum the coils...that thing gives off way too much heat. I may scrub the floor, we'll see how ambitious I get.
All the laundry is done, until the girls get their room cleaned..then I'm SURE I'll have 4 loads at the very least. I should take a picture of my laundry room...it looks nice in there. I need a shelf over my washer and dryer though, then I can eliminate the shelves that sit on the floor and then my hampers will fit nicely in there. Yep, I better take a picture...it'll never be that nice looking again.
Happy Sunday y'all.
Stay cool...high of 98 today!
Love,

30 Days Hath September
April, June and November...Remember that poem? I had to memorize it and write it in 1st or 2nd grade. It's been one of my favorites ever since. That's how I learned and remember how many days are in our months. Works like a charm when you're trying to remember which months have only 30 days...And who made that calendar up anyway? They must have had some good drugs or alcohol too...shoulda made the days all evenly dispersed...with the same amount of days per month. Apparently, it was a man. Need I say more?
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November;
February has twenty eight alone
All the rest have thirty-one
Except in Leap Year, that's the time
When February's Days are twenty-nine
Need I say MORE?
I'm off to shower and head to Wal-Mart to load up that card so my boys can make the trip home. Tommy wants to leave Monday morning...sans the car and tow dolly...I'll drive it home in July...or sell it or junk it...whichever we decide.
Happy Saturday...

Creatives
It's official...I'm a Georgia Peach now....Friday I went and got my Georgia Driver's License...they printed it up right there...very cool...
Here are my layouts I shipped to B&I......they loved them...except the broken frame from the Flowergirl layout...but not bad for marking all over the box "FRAGILE"....
I used a sketch for inspiration on these...well all of them actually...so I can't take credit for the design...but I did pick out the elements and colors.
Of course...with such a beautiful couple and stunning pictures...I couldn't go wrong creatively...
And of course, they loved them!

A While Back
A while back, I mentioned Grandma's Breadbox in a post. I promised a photo...and well, here it is. Now mind you, I don't use the dang thing for keeping our bread in. It just sits on top of our microwave and looks pretty...so to speak. But as I type this up, I realize it might look even better in my scraproom as a storage piece...to store something-or-another. Heh. You scrappers know what I'm thinking there...We will see, after I get the rest of my stuff here and situated in 5 days or so...I'll update next week, I'm sure!
My diningroom table...will never look this way again. It was so beautifully clean until I did up the layouts and projects earlier this week. The girls and I actually liked eating here for a couple days...but we decided that we needed chair cushions...so we're taking donations if anyone has any they can donate...email me...hehe. Do you see the creamer and sugar bowl? THOSE are the INFAMOUS Grandma's Dishes...A single 10" plate runs about $12 on the net. They are PRE 1960...and I have eaten off of these things thousands of times in my lifetime. They are THE dishes we ate off of at Grandma's house...no exceptions. They were the only dishes they owned until my silly (and favorite) aunt bought them some new ones circa 1995 or so. They unpacked the new ones and packed up these for me....it's the only thing I begged for to my Grandma...I kept telling her...when you die, I want your dishes...that's all I want....until I saw the scrapbooks...lol. {As family historian, I should by rites have them...lol} I love these things...even if they are green and kinda ugly looking...I still love them....they hold so many memories and family gathering stories...now if they could only TALK...I'd be set!
These...are Tommy's Grandparent's dishes...Fine porcelain China at that...complete with a ceramic China pie server. I couldn't tell you how old they were, just that they were used at Thanksgiving and Christmas at G&G Pumper's every year. They are pretty and when we unpacked them, I told the girls we'll be eating off these for Christmas.
Nanny's Hutch...is a beautiful piece of furniture...don't look at the streaks...I haven't perfected my Windex skillz yet...as I so don't do windows...{this could be WHY}. But after we dusted and Windexed, Nanny's hutch was all pretty once again...as I'm sure she intended for it to be.
So that's my China story, and I'm stickin' to it....and it's Friday y'all...TGIF!
