Rob and I took half of last week off…we were scheduled to be off to East London but our plans fell through 🙁 but on the up side we got to spend some extra time with Aidan which is always great and turns out we both really needed the rest, leaving home at 6 and returning at 6 the eve can take it’s toll on a person…

oh and I got my nails did 🙂 |
Not sure if my comments are going through . . . Just wanted to say I love the idea of the chalkboard door!
Hey they are, and if you find out how I did it you will love it even more….It's simply vinyl chalkboard book covering, you know like contact paper but chalkboard and then I used patterned duct tape for extra security 😉
Sometimes it's great to just chill at home, but it looks like you were pretty industrious. Love the scarf
hehe it's all those little things you never get around to finishing 🙂
I like the chalk board on the door! And nice nails too.
thanks a bunch 🙂
A wine and craft day – now that is brilliance!
isn't it just *wink*
