Weekend... so much potential

Oh how we love our weekends....  it is amazing how two little days can just be the happiest, most thought of and....... well, just about the best part of our lives.  We work towards them, live for them, dream about them, smile the biggest smiles when we are living them and then... poof.... they are gone, just like that.

Last weekend was the wedding... so after Friday night was over - we were pretty much toast....  I think I slept most of Sunday afternoon after we got home from church....  So as you might guess, I had lots and lots of plans for this weekend.  One of the more obvious was getting that craft room back into some state of mild chaos, so some more fun could be had in there. 

So.... I guess I can check that off the list.... I think even Mr. Michael was pretty happy that he could go in there and be in the sun.....  

There was all the other errands that we all have.  I am very blessed to have a husband that does not mind doing laundry.  In fact, there are two loads going and I have not stepped one foot in the laundry room!   


So because of this blessing, I had a little time to use the craft room and make some cards...  


Got some stamping done.....

picked out ribbons.......

Had a visit from Miss Susie......


She does love to give me little help in the craft room.  


Did a little matting......

....and..... 


....was able to get some cards made.  I am just not ready to give up the Fall colors yet.  I just love those rich earthy hues.  I still have many more cards to make.  (I am so behind... I still have my "Thank You" cards to do from Christmas....)  


I wanted to get a little bit of reading in and my chair was absolutely calling my name......  


And I did get a bit of reading napping in this afternoon....  Yes, the crochet bag is also calling my name. I will have to get those projects out and start working on them...  

And can you guess what else I want to start working on?


It is only Sunday evening and I already have my next weekend.... those two glorious days of fun.... already chock full of activities.....  I cannot wait!
