My to-do's this week reads a lot like last week:
Here is my Dad excited about his gift certificate from Lowe's. My sister got him two dress shirts and ties.
Here is Bailey and Jenna. Jenna had brought her iPod and Bailey thought it was cool to hear music through the headphone.
We had a great day and my Mom stayed to visit with us for a few days. We are going to Ft Myers to the thrift stores so I may have a post later with the goodies I find.
These next two pages are digi pages and the second one is from the More Mad Digital Skillz class at Get It Scrapped. I am also a couple of classes behind in this class but am slowly catching up.
I start a new class at Big Picture Scrapbooking called The Challenge of Me! And the first challenge is I have been given the size of 8" x 8" to scrapbook in. This will definitely be a challenge since I do most of my scrapbooking in 12" x 12". I am excited for this class to start.
Then we got a crib for Bailey and Dave put that up the other night so this little crazy curly haired girl could spend the night with us. She loves her new bed and the dogs love that they can see her through the slats.
And then yesterday we got a twin day bed with a trundle and an old rocking chair from the store. We took all Bailey's old baby stuff (swing, bouncy seat, etc) there and loaded the chair and the bed in the rain last night. Left the mattresses for this morning. Now I have tons of work to get the rest of the guest room cleaned out so we can put the daybed in there.
It's time again for Sunday Scrappin'. Please come and join us!
Here are two pages from My 365 Project.
And the only other page I completed is from the 40 Days of Joy. I so enjoyed this challenge and am disappointed that the pace on it is so slow. The gal who is hosting it is having some serious personal problems.
This layout took a little longer than most since I had to make the list. Here is my list
Here's my meatloaf before baking.
And my finished pie. Now the lemon filling and the meringue were both made from scratch. Not a pudding mix mind you, cook sugar, eggs, etc on the stove from scratch. And it was awesome!!!!!!!
The AuGratin Potatoes (from a box but oh so yummy).
And my finished to die for meatloaf. We have so much left that we will be having leftovers later in the week. YUM!
And here is my zucchini and yellow squash dish. It is super easy and really, really good. Slice and cook your squash in olive oil in a large skillet. Add in salt and pepper and a couple of crushed garlic cloves. When it is done to your liking, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and then top with mozzarella. Let set long enough for mozzarella to melt and serve. Delightful!
I am trying a couple of new recipes tonight and I will post pictures of them tomorrow.
I used to Menu Plan every week and have since stopped. It is crazy to try and figure out what to cook and shop for if you have no plan. So, I am going to start menu planning again. My plan is very unstructured. I come up with five meals and they may or may not be made on the day I planned. We always have leftovers one night and we usually go out to dinner another and that is why I only plan five meals. So with no further ado, I present my menu plan for this week:
It's time for Sunday Scrappin' again! And tonight starts the new season of Army Wives! Yahoo!
And another My 365 Project layout.
I am taking a class at Get It Scrapped and these two layouts are from the More Mad Digital Skillz class lesson one. It was paper and picture tearing.
And my last pages are also from the More Mad Digital Skillz class lesson 2. This lesson was on embossing and I embossed the flower and the lettering on the tag. This has been a fun class.
We haven't gotten too much farther with the 40 Days of Joy over at Divine Digitals. The gal who is running the challenge has had some issues, good and bad so we are on Day 9. This is one layout from Day 9 and I am working on putting a list together for the companion page.
Here is my Day 8 from 40 Days of Joy.
