April's Creative Corner

This is how I feel right now.....exhausted! I was up until 2 last night cleaning, and was up before 10 today. Oh, and can't forget being woken up at 6:45 by the dog whining to go outside. It's almost 11:30 right now and I'm pooped! So I was doing my usual blog stalking this weekend, and went to Kim Hughes blog, and saw that I won some blog candy! If you don't know, I absolutely *heart* Kim Hughes.....not only is her work amazing, but I LOVE her line of stamps that you can buy over at CHF. OH, it made my day to see that I was picked! Seriously, I find myself reaching for those stamps over and over. I am starting to work on my coloring more, and they are so good for that! So yeah.....good stuff!

Some other good stuff.........I went out with my mom today and we went to Joann's and picked up some really pretty fabric, and I got a stamp set with some fairies, mushroom houses and frogs. We then went over to the thrift store and picked up a TON of board books to alter. I finally covered a board book with fabric, and it looks CUTE! When it's light outside tomorrow I'll take pics. I was so happy with the way it turned out (Thanks MOM!). We then made dinner tonight, which was lasagna (recipe courtesy of The Pioneer Woman) and my mom's homemade biscuits, and salad. AGH..... sooooo good! Darrin and my dad went to Lowe's and picked up a new faucet for the sink, which should be getting installed tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, Darrin and I are going to the Halloween store to pick up his and hers pirate costumes. Our close friends from Cali are coming in the night before Halloween to help us celebrate the holiday and just to hang out, and we are all dressing up as pirates and pass out candy to the kids in the neighborhood.

I know I said I would be making a new recipe each week, but this is a by-week for me (LOL!). We are going out to dinner Sunday night, so I promised myself I would make something Monday or Tuesday to make up.

Ok, enough rambling, I'm going to bed. Goodnight!
