In my internet travels I came across a website that has some great sketches.  What I really like about this, besides the sketches, is that you can download them in groups as a PDF.  So if you are into organization, this is a great thing.  If you aren’t into organization, well, get on it, lol.  Here is a link.

I think I just said how productive I’ve been this week, and I really feel good about it.  Yesterday morning I was able to get up before the kids, (which I always do anyway), and got a ton of stuff done.  I even had dinner in the crock pot before 7am.  It’s so nice to come back home and smell a nice dinner cooking.    Love that!  I didn’t have much laundry to do, a fact that I find refreshing in itself, but I got a load in and that always makes me happy.  (Not the doing laundry part, but the feeling that isn’t done.)

I ran to Archivers while Shelby was in school after meetign up with Michelle at Panera for our Wednesday morning gripe-fest over a snack.  Note: Michelle does most of the griping and I do a lot of nodding, and suggesting that we pass out tainted baked good to one of her enimies in particular.  LOL.  I mean that in the nicest way, really.  Anyway, so Archivers… if you are a American Crafts Thicker fan they have them 30% off and there are some new ones there.  I didn’t buy any *gasp* because I’m learning to resist my urges.  See, told you I was going to be better this year.  *wink*

Also paid a visit to Hobby Lobby this morning.  I went in for a particular thing, they didn’t have what I wanted, which wasn’t a big shock.  Some people just love this store, umm, I don’t get it.  I went when the one in Port Huron was open and wasn’t all that impressed then either.  Maybe I’m hard to impress??

Michelle did end up buying some yarn so that I could knit her a scarf.  Good luck with that.  I know how to knit, but I’m awful at it.  I must have too much pent up stress because I knit to tightly that near the end the stitches are so tight my finger tips are sore.  So basically it takes me a case full of yarn to knit a 4″x4″ square.  I started the scarf yesterday and so far so good, but I had to keep telling myself to watch it, so it certainly isn’t this relaxing stress reliever for me that it is for everyone else.  It does help that she picked out my favorite color – KIWI.  Woo Hoo.  I’ll take a photo of the scarf and it’s very impressed owner when I’m done. 

FYI – it’s still too gosh darn cold here.  Let’s all move to Hawaii… who’s with me?
