Office Space

About a month ago, I moved offices at my day job. I’d been in my old office since I started working at the university – that’s more than 5 years. I shared my old office with 2 other people, so it was somewhat lacking in privacy. Mind you, we had partition walls and similar things…

Christmas Wreath

A couple months ago, my sister asked me to make her a Christmas wreath.  So, we went down to Hobby Lobby and picked up a wreath, some decorative picks, and a few flowers.  I love the Hobby Lobby weekly sales.  We got a great price on everything. For most of the last month, all those…

Redecorating

I’ve been looking for something to put me in a good mood lately. Redecorating seems like just the thing. Of course, before I started any renovations, I did my research. I knew that doing this would accumulate quite a substantial amount of mess, so I researched into companies similar to those that offer skip bins…

Craft Month 2011 – Day 1 – Spring Wreath

It’s National Craft Month.  In celebration of this, I’m going to make an effort to do lots more crafting this month… and blog about it.  Hopefully this will get me back in the habit of crafting, and blogging… since I’ve been slacking in both areas lately.  My first project is one that I actually did over…

The Mysterious Rock

A mysterious rock appeared at our house a couple days ago.  I found it on our porch.  It is a really nice garden rock with a quote in gold.  I had meant to ask Matt about it but didn’t have a chance to ask until this afternoon.  He didn’t put it there and I didn’t…
