This is a cute little desk I found
at a yard sale yesterday. It fits
right in with my new
red and white porch

Announcement/ Invitation Templates

These are the style that I worked on all day instead of doing my taxes.

Taxes??? Not! Maybe next week.

Well this week definitely is turning out to be an office sitting week. I was supposed to do taxes yesterday, but I sat and organised pictures all day. Then today, my sister called early and we started designing wedding invitations. Once again, taxes will be put off.

Saturday finds

Today, I was so undecided about what I would do.

After realising that trade days onlyhappen once a week, I left my house to the weekdays and went to see what kind of cool pieces I could find to hang on my kitchen walls.

My hubby is not very happy with all the junk I found. I think he is not crazy about the cluttered "Cracker Barrel" look in my kitchen. I will take a few things down, but I will add most of the cool things I found today. I found three bridles that I plan to use as towel hangers. A couple of rake heads, an ice pick, and some pulleys will go up quickly. I should have just hung them up and he woudl not have noticed.

After the trade days, I stopped at a pretty barn to take pictures. One day I will compile and complete my farm project.

LOOOONG Weekend Drive

Our original plans were to be real simple. Saturday morning - get up, drive two hours north, vertical rope training until the afternoon, drive one hour to Huntsville, sleep,wake up, cave, come home, relax Monday.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED - Saturday, we went to Attalla when we should have just headed north to Cherokee Rock Village(one extra hour of drive time). We then headed to a friend's house for a get together/party which was in Southside/Albertville area. About 9 p.m. we drove home more than an hour to get home. Sunday afternoon, we left for Huntsville driving 2 hours to Jessica's to stay the night. Monday, we left around 7 a.m. to go check a cave and do some ridgewalking. Around 1 p.m. we drove back 2 hrs to home arriving around 4:30. At 6, I got back in the car to go to Gadsden for the GAP(Photo Club) once a month meeting. I don't miss it unless something REAL MAJOR comes up. So 2 more hrs of drive time and I was home around 2 a.m. So all in all, we put enough miles on the gas tank to not have grocery money for the next six months. Hahaha but we did travel around 11.5 hours the whole weekend covering about 650 miles.

Today, I woke up to an email that offered me the deal~Photobook for $10.00. Since these things usually run about $50, I pounced. Then to keep momentum, I went right to work. I have a friend who really wants pictures of her daughter's wedding but is so overwhelmed by all the digital pictures that she has yet to get anymore than what I have given to her. I set right to work. Six hours later, I hit the "upload to the website" button. Informed that it would take 88 minutes to upload, I had to stay on my computer to keep it from hibernating. Hibernation would interrupt the upload and I would have to start over. Once that was done 10 more minutes of processing and paying, the book should be delivered about March 7th. My body is literally sore from sitting here all day(over 9 hrs). I hope she loves it. The work just flew by, but now I am tired and moving hurts. I guess I will go check my mail, have some breakfast, and go on a walk.

Okay! Let me try again part 2
