Did You guess it?



While cleaning the scraproom
I found this toy my friend Ann bought me like 5 Years ago :)
Her son Jack came to work with her one day
 and he said he could guess whatever I was thinking
{as long as its an animal,vegetable or mineral}
at that time I thought artichoke and it guessed it RIGHT!!!
 I was sooooo amazed :)
I never heard of 20 questions before :)
A couple weeks later Ann told me her son Jack said she HAD to buy one for me :)
 She bought me one in PURPLE cuz it was her favorite color
(& it didn't come in PINK)
Anyway when I found it again recently the battery still worked
and I tried hedgehog as my animal
and of course it guessed right!
I'm still amazed :) LOL

Speaking of Hedgehogs
it's time to for an Abbey update :)
She a little over 1 years old now!
I don't think shell grow any bigger
which is totally fine with me
I actually wanted her to stay teeny tiny forever :)
I let her out to play outside with Molly & Earl
and she was super-di-duperly HAPPY

I hope you enjoyed the pics :)
Have a good day!

Re-Organizing

I FINALLY cleared out my Public Storage (umm 3 months ago actually) LOL
BUT I pretty much just dumped all my crap in the garage
and I brought some of it up to the scraproom
so pretty much my scraprooms been a giant mess since then.
So a couple weekends ago
I finally decided to put up the Elfa shelves I purchased back in May :)

I figured the addition will be easy
since all I had to do was put up the bar right next to the existing shelf.
When we were designing the space the lady told me I might have a little gap in between
if I wasn't planning to attach to the existing shelf.
I thought...have a gap or take it all apart?!?!
ugh! I definitely don't want to take it apart
So I put all the shelves up
and this was the gap....




Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I stared at this gap for like an hour contemplating if I should leave it like that or not
I left it for a while, went downstairs ate dinner
 and came back and thought some more...

Conclusion:



I took it ALL apart
and brought all the stuff down from half the other shelf
so I could flip all the shelf connectors

HOLY MESS!



So FINALLY I put it all back together again
and I have to say that I feel SOOOooooooooo much better
without that little gap in between :)

This is how it looks now :)



I'm still organizing so its not fully complete
I'll take another picture when I'm all done :)

I've had a lot of people ask me where I got the pink scallop hat boxes
It's from KIRKLANDS
The PINK shoe boxes is my new find from Target :)
I don't know what I'm putting in there yet actually.
The 3 boxes at the bottom are from
My Sentiments Exactly
It's suppose to be for stamps
and I do have one that I keep stamps in,
BUT I also keep my 9x9, 8x8 and 6x6 papers in there :)

I still have a LOT of work to do!
I want to finish before I go on vacation (JULY 5th)
Crossing my fingers :)

 




 
 

Summer Card Swap

The weather here in Chicago this past Friday
was ridiculous! It was pouring rain and thundering
and while at work we actually lost power for a little bit.
I've been looking forward to our June Summer card swap with the girls
we were thinking it was suppose to be nice weather.
On our way to Lindas house it started pouring again
and all the stop lights on the way to Lindas went out!
Linda lost power at the house too
BUT that didn't dampen our plans to sit out in her patio
which was really nice even with the rain :)
Linda also made us some Yummy Lavaflows (1/2 strawberry Daq & 1/2 Pina Colada)
It was extra yummy with Kristas homegrown strawberries too!

Heres the pics of our "Summer themed" card swap
