My Day Off

It was so nice to have the day off. I actually stayed in bed until 8:30! That is something for me. I love to stay home, especially in the morning. I can drink my coffee leisurely, curl up with the dogs and watch the goings on around Lake Wobegone.

My husband actually got up earlier than I did. He was busy doing his thing in the barn and racing around the property on our six wheeler. His latest toy is a new lift for the barn so he can work on his cars easier. He was very pleased with that purchase, for sure! 

I got a "conference" call from my friends, Beth and Mary, to plan a stamping trip to Buffalo next month to a trade show. I told them it was my first conference call and if I had known I was going to get one, I would have gotten out of my p.j.'s!

After cleaning up the house, I worked in the cottage for the afternoon. I shouldn't say "worked" as it is really playing. I have gotten a few stamp sets on Ebay lately and put together a few cards using them. The one I was most excited about was a set called, "Nature's Sketchbook", a retired Stampin Up set. It has a beautiful stamp of a black poll warbler so I quickly made a card using it.  I also experimented with my Big Shot machine and cardboard. I made flowers and painted and assembled them for a card. 

Tonight we opted for a fish fry takeout and both of us clicked along on our laptops afterward, side by side. It's too bad older people in nursing homes don't have laptops. What a great way to pass the time!
