Long(ish) time, no talk. Things are crazy around here. The basement project is in full swing now. The space is all framed up, the plumbing and electrical are in, and the initial inspections are this week. Then it's drywall and painting. Can't wait for it all to be done. All this pounding and sawing are starting to get on my nerves. :) I've been doing as much as I can to stay out of the house as much as possible, so I don't go completely bonkers.
This past week, they also added a sliding door to our kitchen. I cannot believe how much light and visual space it adds to the room. I think this might be the best thing we've ever done. Here is the before and the (mostly done) after. They still need to drywall around it and finish the install. It's too bad I don't have a better before pic. It really does make all the difference.
In addition to all that, we area also gearing up for some major landscaping plans around here. We are ripping up about 1/2 of our front yard and at least 1/2 of our back yard to put in an extensive organic veggie, herb and perennials garden. We are just barely starting now, and it seems like so much work. I hope it ends up being less time-intensive that I anticipate.
Anyhow, enough about all that. :) I wanted to come back and share another one of the card sets that I put together for the NICU charity auction. :)
I picked up a beautiful set of My Mind"s Eye stamps about a month ago, and I immediately knew what I wanted to do with them. These cards came together rather quickly, since there was nothing that I had to color. :)
Aren't those lacey stamps so pretty? :) I inked them up in varying shades and then inked around all the edges to make the panels pop a little. Then I added a little Lasting Impressions rub-on and some buttons and called it a day.
Hope you're having a productive or fun weekend (or both!). Thanks for stopping by.
Enjoy your day!
