    All that glitters

    jewlery sortingI spent some time yesterday afternoon sorting and disassembling some junk jewelry I’ve collected over time. I’ve started watching a series on Netflix and wanted to be doing something productive while watching so I don’t feel quite as guilty.  The previous day I sorted my stack of papers that were months and months old. I hate filing. I had a temporary job while in college to get a vet supply company’s files up to date after almost a year of them stacking invoices in a spare room. ACK!! Soured me on filing.

    grandpa's treat boxWe are celebrating my FIL birthday today.  He loves chocolate covered peanuts.  Instead of doing the boring thing of just giving him a bag or two of them, I decided he needed his own treat box. You see, the kids each have a treat box at Grandpa and Grandma’s house. It’s only fair that Grandpa have his own stash as well.

    Notice the embossed paper…that was a piece from our time with the neighbor’s Cuttlebug. It definitely adds some pizazz.

    Another day, another party. It’s been a long week of getting together with friends.

    Last night we went out to see our friends new house. Not wanting to come empty handed, I made them some custom coasters.

    Rum and Coke “cake”

    We spent Independence Day, as we have the past several years, at a friend’s house along the parade route in town. It’s always a great time.

    I wanted to do a little something extra for our hostess who puts so much time and effort into making sure everyone has a good time. She’s a big fan of Rum and Coke. It ended up being a centerpiece on the buffet table.
