Gone Fishin

The lilacs are blooming - it's amazing how flowers make you feel

And, they smell wonderful












Hello and how was your weekend? Ours was fun. No deadlines this time. Just enjoying the weather. Last Friday one of the girls also had a school trip to the zoo that I was able to go on. Followed by Chinese food for dinner for us all (minus a dd12 who went away for weekend w/friend camping).



The girls were happy to go fishing.




















But.....this was what happened when the fish were no where to be found. It's the Sad Puppy Dog Face, oh no!
So,
we went for water ice
That helped.



Saturday was YARD SALES Too. AND we love yard sales.Picked up a few treasures.


A few wonderful books and some pictures

















A wire/wicker shelf for craft supplies (remember, we are organizing our stuff)

I hope you had a great weekend too. It is Monday again, so soon. Dd-12yr. happened to play soccer w/bare feet while away. We know what happens when we do that don't we?? Yes, we hurt our foot and had to go to the Dr.s today...just bruise/swelling...
Is anyone else organizing, cleaning out? I am happy to say that I am getting rid of things here and there almost every other day. We will not quit. We need a place for everything. It is time for positive thinking. Can we do it? Yes we can. Oh sorry that was from a kids show.

Gotta go, signed up for 2 more swaps. Must continue w/our creative energy in the midst of life. AND swaps demand that I fulfill my commitments and create! Have a great night.
hugs, Carol

Hi Carol!

Love the pics and the Fairy Tale book! Great find!

I wish I were as energetic about cleaning out. We need to have our own yard sale here...

Have a good week!
