Gregg has been back working on the basement on his days off. He finished the subfloor on Sat and it makes me soooooooooo happy! I am really hoping to have sheetrock in a few weeks!!! Then I will be busy learning to mud and tape. Or is it tape then mud? Guess I will find out! :)
In the mean time my stamp room has been a PIT! I worked on it today just so I could get it ready for Gregg come in and put the electrical in. I don't want anything in his way to slow him down!
Cleaning is also a great way to pass the time waiting for Mr. Brown to come. He has our club order and my restock of supplies! I did not get anything fun for my monthly order. Ok, I was the hostess so there was a free stamp set. But I used all my benefits to restock on paper. I had not done it in a while and realized that the colors I usually go for were just about gone! GASP!!!
Before I can enjoy the new, crisp cardstock I have to get the corned beef going (Happy St. Patrick's Day - not an ounce of Irish in me but I love the dinner once a year!) get the boys to a soccer class and all the usual mom stuff that keeps me from stamping too many times! Someday I will post something UBER COOL! Someday...

Two of my favorite hobbies in one creation
I have three passions I really enjoy outside of my wonderful hubby and kiddos. One is food and cooking. But we all know that can be dangerous! :) The other two are papercrafting and basket weaving. I really find relaxation in them! Well last night I combined the two and created this basket. I found the directions and the whole idea at another wonderful blog, http://wishyouwerehere-laura.blogspot.com/2008/02/basket-tutorial.htmlI REALLY loved it. The first basket took a little finagle but worked out pretty well. The second went a lot faster and I knew a few tricks. Now I feel like I could whip them out. The only big issue is sponging ALL the edges. Time consuming and ruined a sponge dauber. The sponging really makes it pop and gives a lot more dimension than if I left it plain. Go make one and show me!
