Just Five Friday Faves

Good Friday night all!  Hope its warmer where you are than where I am.........its WICKED cold outside!!  We even had a little bit of snow this morning.  Where is spring any way?!!!

So,  these were my five faves this week.

I'm an ex-diet coke addict.  I still drink it once in a while, but only if nothing else is available.  When I was poking around the Wrentham Outlets the other day I got thirsty and discovered this.  I'd never seen one of these before, and chocolate milk is better than soda, right?

This Dooney & Bourke for the summer.

I think once I tell the big guy I found it for free shipping, he'll be all right with it.  Will let you know  on that.  Either way, its a fave.

This is too funny! 

Can't get enough of this Stampin Up' border punch,

used here, on the outside edges of the banner.

 

And Friday fave number five.  Clarin's Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch.  It rocks.

Enjoy your weekend!

Just All Done

Hey there on a Thursday!  Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!  We had fun doing a few open houses on Sunday.  Well really, open condos!  Still didn't find our perfect fit yet, but we'll persevere........

We did get inside of this.

One whole wall, in the living room, was brick, and there were two bedrooms and two baths.  It really was cool, but not quite big enough.  I'm sure I'd miss a balcony, too.

We may revisit this one, which is brand new (this is the model unit).

It does have a balcony, but the big guy wants a garage.  And that dining area may be too small. We'll see. I never imagined this would be such a difficult decision.

Anyway, the knee is coming along well.  I'm heading to my third physical therapy this morning.

And,  a quick layout from the March Studio Calico kit, Quilting Bee.

I'm hoping to get myself some scrappy time this afternoon.  Seems like its been a push for me to get any creative time this week.

Enjoy your day!

Just Thank You and More Masking Tape

An enormous thank you going out to Laura and Cosmo Cricket for this.  I was beyond thrilled to see that! 

And here's that other layout with masking tape.  Cool challenge, Celine!

Enjoy your weekend!  And oh......happy first day of spring!  Its a glorious 72 degrees here!

Just Friday

Its Friday again!  Jumping on to list the faves for the week and then I'm off to enjoy this beautiful, sunny,  sixty-somethin' degree day.

But, before I get to the faves, the good news is I'm free of that big, heavy, cumbersome knee brace.   I'm starting physical therapy on Tuesday which I'm thrilled about - shouldn't be too long getting back to the gym afer that.  I have a new brace that I have to wear for the next three weeks, but its lighter and less cumbersome.  Still got hinges on the sides, but it doesn't click when I walk, so I'm not complaining!

So anyway, first, my new Calphalon grill pan........I  did up some shrimp on it this week.  It rocks.  I love the little grill lines it leaves...

This bright, flowery, Dear Lizzy scrapbook paper

I used a few micro beads in their centers.

The rub ons are cool too.  Haven't used them next, but I'm sure it won't be too long before I do.

With spring just about here, I'm thinking mani and pedi, and loving the new Opi nail colors. How awesome is this!!

"In my back pocket",

And for  dark chocolate and coconut fans , GET THESE before they are gone!! These were the big guy's discovery! 

I'm completely hooked on American Idol, so, since we're speaking of faves, and last up, 

this guy

Enjoy your Friday!!!

Happy Tuesday!

So here's that other JoyRide layout, inspired by a challenge on the Studio Calico blog this week.  The challenge was to print or stamp on masking tape.  

This masking tape thing was totally fun and I've got another layout using it just about done.  Stay tuned.....
