Wednesday's Journal

By


What’s happening in my home?….
In my kitchen…Mother Hubbard's cupboards are bare, lol. Finances were slim the last two week thanks to me. I did not stop completely at a stop sign but "rolled" through according to a cop. I don't agree but it cost me $120.00 :( So my food budget was slashed. No extra for us, but we did have some good dinners thanks to Aldi's! Lasagna, Chicken Parm, Meatloaf, Shrimp Scampi Pasta, Tuna Noodle Casserole. I do miss going the luxury to go out to eat :) My favorite restaurant Quaker Steak and Lube, AppleBee's, Marino's (local Italian place). Thank goodness payday is Friday and believe me I AM NOT "rolling" through stop signs any time soon.
With our marriage… So grateful that Chris is understanding and that it was funny that I got my first ticket and it wasn't for speeding.
With the children… do you want to babysit for me???? I have three, you can watch for a couple hours. That's the kind of week it's been.
Around the homestead… I am getting a dining room set!!! I found a Queen Anne style on Craigslist.com for $300.00. Table w/ leaf, 4 chairs, 2 captain chairs and china cupboard!!! We pick it up tomorrow!
In my “Inner Man”…. still reading the One Year Bible but I have to admit, I'm reading 2-3 days a time :( My "outer" man seems like she is being torn in 20 different directions.

    Can't wait to see the new dining room set. Glad Sam's birthday isn't on Memorial Day weekend. We are not allowed to request holiday days off anymore. Is it March yet?

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
