Hi everyone!..Today was a beautiful sunny day that got up to 78 degrees...I had my sunroof open on my way to take Taylor to work...Wonderful!!

Well, I have finished for now...I worked all day yesterday and late last night trying to get all my things organized...The big stack of 6 notebooks are x-stitch patterns...Two of them are Fall and Halloween...One is Christmas...Two are samplers...And one is old patterns with some samplers mixed in....They are completely filled past capacity, except one...I'm going to have to buy some more notebooks!!..Do you think I have enough patterns??..I bought 3 new ones this evening..LOL...Yep, I'm definitely going to have to buy more notebooks and sheet protectors!!

The second stack of 3 are my favorite country primitive homes that I have been saving from magazines for years...And they are my absolute favorites...One is Fall and Christmas...The other is just everyday decorated homes...My home pics are in there that I was sent from Country Sampler for the next issue...Can I believe it???..Along with all my favorites, my home is in there!!!!...And then the actual magazine pics will be put in there in a few weeks when the next issue comes out...I wish I could show you, but I can't!!...You will have to wait a little longer!!..And then the last notebook on top is my "I want to make one of these" and tutorials I have for future references...Think I have enough projects planned??!!??..LOL ...Then Mr. T*F*A asked me "Where are you going to put all those notebooks now?"...HA...I'm not sure!!..Oh, wow!..Maybe I need to get the "I want to make one of these" notebook and decide on something to build to put them in..Hmmmmm!!~~Until next time!!~~hugs, Jen

Good evening everyone!!..Today was a beautiful sunny day...I have been going through tons of x-stitch patterns and magazines as far back as the 80's...DON'T LAUGH!!!..LOL....But the best thing I have come across is sheet protectors...

Now, we have been buying them for all the years Taylor has been in school, but I never paid any attention to them...Now, I've turned into a sheet protector maniac..LOL....I bought 250 of them today...I bought 100 last weekend....I've been going through all my x-stitch and getting them grouped together according to samplers, Christmas, Fall, etc...Some of my magazines I have been holding on to for years only had like one or two patterns I really liked, so I pulled them out and the magazine is in the "for my sister to go through" box....I can't even tell you how organized I feel...

So next, I will be going through my favorite home folders where I've been saving my favorite homes for years from Country Sampler and other country magazines that don't exist anymore...I got tired of saving the magazines, so I tore out the pages I wanted.. Then I stuck them in just a cheap folder....After years of them being in the folder, and me going through them, the edges are getting quite ragged.....

It's the small things in life that excite us, and right now page protectors are at the top of my list....LOL...So what have you been up to this weekend??~~hugs, Jen

WOW!...Sorry I haven't been on here much!!..I've been sooo busy trying to decide on software to do more patterns, working on orders, painting more boxes, trying to get my picturetrail going, etc...Not to mention coloring, abc's, number's, colors, practicing cutting with scissors, puzzles, cars, and Star Wars.....WHEW!!!....I'm tired!!..LOL

But I did want to share with you two baskets I got from the Goodwill back in January...The small one was a bright white and the big one was a pale white....Mr. T*F*A spray painted them for me...Now they fit in my decor perfectly!!

Off to do some picking up toys and folding laundry.... Then hopefully some x-stitching...

Hugs, Jen
