Let’s Paint

Some friends of mine from high school who I have re-connected with on Facebook told me about this art class nearby where you come learn to paint a particular painting (we chose this Klimit Red Circle Tree), drink some wine and just spend time with adults.  This was our first class and this is my version of the painting.  We had a blast and I can’t wait to go again.  Of course mine didn’t exactly look like the sample but it got me motivated to try more so I even went to the store and bought some paints and canvass to do more.  Something else to add to my hobbies and things I want to do that I never have much time for Sometimes you HAVE to make the time though.

Happenings

Okay I’ll admit..my addiction to Facebook has kept me from blogging as of late….We are allowed to view it at work now so when I get a free minute….that’s what I check in on….I will try and do better.

Lots of things going on at the house of Scrappycat….I’ll be starting a new job in a couple of weeks (which may end my facebook addiction) which I’m really excited about.  I’m going to have to be more professional and my free time will be limited but I’m ready for a change.  Since the new job doesn’t start for a couple of weeks I decided to get those household projects done that I’ve been putting off (projects that require taking off work).  The guy comes on free to measure for new carpet which I’m happy about.  For those who read my home improvement page you may remember that the contractors ruined my carpet and it cannot be cleaned.  We’ve been putting off getting new carpet but I finally bit the bullet.  Along with the new carpet I plan on calling our electrician and get some new ceiling fans and light fixtures installed too.  The new carpet coming will also encourage us to finish painting the master bedroom and finally get that new mattress we’ve needed for over 3 years now…yeah!

Little boy is doing very well with his potty training.  I think alot of that is contributed to his new teacher at daycare who also happens to be one of our nearby neighbors.  She is really good with the kids.  So now I’m in a house with two boys…so you can imagine that I have sat down on the toilet rim a couple of times.  I need to teach little boy to close the lid before it’s too late…. I’m really proud of him though.  He’s growing up too fast!  Getting him out of diapers/pullups except at night is bittersweet because it does mean he’s growing up.

Let’s do some card making!

Since I haven’t had too much time to scrapbook and not the best pictures to scrap these days I decided to do a little card making…..

They are very simple cards using some pre-made white greeting cards, some paper I had laying around, my cricut cutter and some little embellishments.  It’s hard to see but the first card says “Just a little note to say I was thinking about you today”.  I made that one to send to my Mamaw

Cards seem to something I can do fairly quickly and a chance to use up some of the millions of dollars worth of paper, stickers, brads and other embellishments I have in my room.  I think I’ll do some more and try some new designs……
