Today is Wednesday, isn't it?!

So I guess I missed my Wednesday blog post this week! It was just busy busy busy around here. Yesterday for example, we spend the morning in Winkler at a Dr appointment and doing some errands, then headed off to Altona for a B Jewelled delivery, picked up stone for the house in Rosenfeld, came home for a nap, and then headed off to Winnipeg to replenish stock of jewelry in a store I sell at, out for supper, and oh - did I mention the furniture shopping? We snuck the purchase of an entertainment unit for Scott's new 50" plasma tv into that day somewhere! WHEW!
Even our days at home have been full. I have been working very hard on getting the basement unpacked and organized so that we can set up a playroom, an office, and a craft room for me. Then I got a new order in of jewelry supplies and so any spare time has been spent filling orders and creating new pieces. The kids are so great with playing together (most of the time!) and they love 'helping' me with whatever I am working on. Scott got the garage mostly in order this week too, so now we can actually park our vehicles in there - BONUS! Here are a few pictures from the week.


Yay! This is the small pile of boxes that I have left to unpack or put away! It feels SO good to have accomplished so much!

I really should have taken a before picture here. Just imagine no floor, and in its place, boxes, garbage, building materials, and scraps!!

The kids are playing computer games together while I tidy up the house in the morning.

Little poser. She can hardly ever be seen these days without a dress-up necklace on. She loves making herself all fancy.
Of course Oliver sees his sister posing for the camera and wants his chance to shine too! He was shouting "Mama! Picture!"

I was taking a picture of this necklace I made before I brought it away, and Kalia asked so sweetly "Mommy, can I be in the picture with the necklace?" Well of course!

Thanks girls! And Heather, I'm enjoying being back too. It had been forever since I'd even been reading other people's blogs.
Gina - it's a new shop on Academy called Mad About Style. I love that they're selling my stuff becuase it's such a trendy store!
