    T stands for Tuesday

    20130716_2617So my friend Elizabeth has started a new tradition…which is a twist on an old one. She is asking everyone to check in on Tuesdays with what ever you’ve got going on that day. You asked for it my friend….

    I have a really busy day ahead…a busy week in fact.  Before I dive into the day, I’m enjoying a quiet moment with my coffee and computer.

    I won’t go into all the minutia of the day such as meal prep, shopping, errands and cleaning but my main focus today is garage sale stuff.

    20130716_2620My neighbors are having a sale  starting Thursday and we have a ton of stuff to contribute.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak.

    I have the storage room completely torn apart. Boxes all over the family room waiting to be sorted. I still need to go through my closet and more in depth in the craft room. So far I only have a tray of rubber stamps that are leaving.

    We keep thinking of other things to get rid of…so we tear into another room or closet.

    It’s chaos, I tell you. CHAOS!!

    But first…Little J and I are going to knitting.20130716_2618 I need a dose of friends and laughter before tackling anymore boxes!!

    What are you doing today?

    SOC3: sage and sepia

    Sage and SepiaThis is the last week of Summer of Color! I can hardly believe it.

    This is the color combo I’ve been voting for each week. The strange thing is now that I got it…I had trouble making it work. The photo color is a bit off for the green but my “Photoshop fu” is off this morning.

    I painted the background with sage then distressed it a bit.  After adding the sepia elements, I used some white rub-ons for visual interest. The bride and groom are my maternal grandparents circa 1929.

    Incidentally, this is my 1000th post! WHOA! That’s a lot of blogging. Thanks to everyone who continues to read. I love it when you leave comments to let me know that you’ve been here.

    I’m not in love with this page. I wish I had stopped with the background and just put the words.

    Oh well..it is what it is and today is a new day to try something different.
