Well now, THAT was a weekend!

Good Monday morning, everyone.
And welcome to my weekend recap.
 :o)
So many cool things about this weekend! My mom and step-dad were here for a visit, I found out Friday afternoon that I had a successful interview and got a great job {eeep!!!}, and the flower seeds that I threw out in our front yard months ago finally sprouted a bloom! I was over-the-top excited about that!

And speaking of flowers, I had a little bouquet in my craft room for my mom {it's where she slept while she was here}.

My mom had never been in a Whole Foods Market, so I took her by there and we had a nice walk around. {I love that store!}  

Mom came in on Wednesday, and my step-dad {Rod} flew in on Friday night. We picked him up from the airport and headed straight for my mom's favorite restaurant - Macayo's.

And at Macayo's, there was the coolest balloon man ever. He whipped this turtle up in about two minutes time. Hard to see from the picture, but this turtle had little balloon balls inside his eyes that bounced around. Super cool!

Donuts #9 and #10 were pretty darn good! I'll share more about those later this week.

So, I have a busy week ahead! I have some shopping to do because I need new clothes for the new job. And we're going camping this weekend for the first time in MONTHS so we are super excited about that.

How was your weekend?
What does your upcoming week look like?

I did an awful lot of not very much! Drinks with friends to start the weekend off on Friday night, relaxing Saturday and then pre-Mother's day yesterday.
So pleased you had a lovely weekend with your mum x

A lovely lot of wonderful things in your weekend - including donuts and turtles! So pleased about your new job - enjoy the clothes shopping. Glad you got to see your mom for all those days!

I had a good weekend. Saturday was sort-out day and I started a project to re-organise and finally sort out my studio. Sunday was "Scrap Club", so I had a good day of scrapbooking. Almost finished the pages I made - I will blog them!

Have a great week, Deb! X

Wow - things are really looking up for you! So happy for you.
I loved putting flowers and a bowl of fruit in the guest room when my parents came to visit, as well as some bottled water. Kindof like a little bed and breakfast set up.
You know you will now have poppies in your yard. . . forever, don't you? LOL,

Thank you so much for the great long weekend--I love being treated like a queen! The best part of the entire time was just being able to hang out with you and your little family--all the rest was just icing on the cake--or in this case--donut! Love you, Sweetie! xoxo
