Excuse me, Mr. Weekend...where do you go?
♥
Saturday was busy with Doug and I both working in our respective home areas - me cleaning inside and him working outside. Then Saturday night we headed to Scottsdale to meet some good friends for dinner. The weather was perfect and we had dessert and a glass of wine {ok, two glasses...} while sitting outside along the "River Walk" {which is actually a canal all fancied up} waiting for the Super-moon to rise.
After dinner we enjoyed a nice stroll around the area and took a bunch of photos that mostly didn't turn out very well {point-and-shoot along for the ride}.
Sunday morning found Carrie and I in front of my computer for two hours chatting with some lovely blog friends on Skype. I had to borrow Rhona's photo {I hope you don't mind, Rhona!} because I accidentally deleted mine before I was able to upload it. Gr!!!

Accordian Mini-book - Shower Gift Part II
Then I got my hands on the disc that contained Karie and Joey's engagement photos, and knew right away that I wanted to make a mini-book for them.
And such great kids too!

Cosmetic Bag ~ Shower Gift Part I
Here's a little look at one of the gifts I made for her bridal shower.
:o) ♥
There are plenty of online tutorials for zippered cosmetic bags and I've wanted to give those a try for some time now. But, it wasn't until Carrie gave me Amy Butler's book "12 easy ways to 26 wonderful bags" for Christmas that I found instructions that were really easy to follow.
I wanted to dress it up a bit, so I used this pretty fabric I found to
create a ruffled look on the front {eh-hm...my idea, not Amy Butler's...;o) }
I love the look of this gathered fabric combined with the heavy canvas.
I lined the bag with a pretty teal fabric but if I show you that you'd
see part II of this gift, so you'll just have to wait till my next post.
♥
And now, I have about 500 things to fit into one short weekend!
Ready...set...GO!!!
What's on your agenda?
