It's Coming...and Other Fun Stuff

I write this post while I am on the phone. I am on hold with the Pinal County Assessor's office. I have 11 calls ahead of me. I thought well, I should do something while I am waiting. So, here I sit. Yesterday, I was outside and noticed something on my tree. The buds are on my tree!! I was so excited. I told my kids to look because this means the leaves are coming soon. YES!! 9 calls ahead of me... Also yesterday I tried to take it easy because I wasn't feeling very well. I was able to get my kitchen clean and then I did some crafts on my table. Here are some pictures of what I did. I had so much fun and it really helped me stop feeling how miserable I felt. Yeah, 7 calls ahead of me...

I saw at the Small House blog that she placed a floating R in one of her jars. I stole her idea and did the same thing. I think it turned out cute.

This next picture, I bought this candle holder at the DI for .50 cents and decided that I didn't want it red anymore. So, I fixed that problem. I also was given the square and the letter D by my sister and painted these also. I loved how it turned out.

Yes, 2 calls ahead of me...

My last picture I show is a board that I found also at the DI and wanted to make it into a chalkboard for thoughts. This is hung by my front door where I will place a little message for everyone to see each day. Our first message of the day is "smile". I painted the edge a navy blue color it looks really nice in person.

Finally, I got through to speak with a person regarding our property in AZ. Thanks for spending time with me on hold. Doing this helped the time go faster.
