I am not sure I have ever seen this magazine in my local stores, but I went and checked out the blog and it looks really interesting. I have not been well this past week (head cold) and find I have been too blah to do anything creative, so have been sitting on the couch watching my Downton Abbey DVDs!Charmaine Stackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02035694190265995283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679804780605870153.post-37405523731760164902012-04-06T20:43:00.029-04:002012-04-06T20:43:00.029-04:00Congrats Anya, you are such a great talent.

Big Congratulations to you.

Your melon berry rose is so pretty!<br /><br />I mowed for the first time last week, too. :) We had a BIG weekend! Friday night we went out to a charity dinner event with friends that benefited the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Saturday we went granite and appliance shopping. We are about to embark on a kitchen remodel/total gut project and so we've been busy making design decisions. I love going to granite warehouses and strolling through aisles lined with giant slabs of beautiful stone. Fun! And Sunday we moved a bunch of stuff around in the garage in preparation for this coming Saturday when we are going to move a bunch of our existing kitchen cabinets out into the garage. Can't wait to have all that additional storage! And finally, Sunday night was a thriller - we finished up our tax return.

My, what a busy weekend we had -- not cutting grass but working to be sure we grow some at my daughter's house. She's been in it for 3 seasons now, but this is the first spring that she's had a baby who's now a toddler. Seeing little Charlotte stumble over the clumps of grass, weeds and just plain dirt as she ran on 15-month old wobbly legs convinced the family that we needed to pitch in to make a real lawn. So my son rented a rototiller and got some friends to help ... delivered a truck full of topsoil and another full of mulch ... and over two days we had at that yard. 10,000 square feet in the backyard, all tilled, leveled, raked, topsoil, fresh seed, fertilizer, topped with 8 bales of hay. Laid 32 16-inch pavers for a new walkway from the patio to the front yard. It rained all day on Saturday and stayed cool enough to work. On Sunday, it was clear but chilly, with just enough breeze to help spread the hay, and just as we were done, God provided a nurturing soft rain. <br /><br />Today, I'm still paying for it -- these grandma knees ain't what they used to be. So I could really use some magazines to curl up with on the couch. Thanks for the fun giveaway, and congrats again.<br /><br />Fondly,<br />Ellen ♥ CardMonkey<br />http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com<br />E-mail: cardmonkey@comcast.netEllen Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17932914906202298059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679804780605870153.post-30696677216146102182012-04-03T04:28:32.783-04:002012-04-03T04:28:32.783-04:00Well done on your new cardmaker team, it sounds gr...Well done on your new cardmaker team, it sounds great, l know your comp would only be for your area but l thought l'd tell you anyway, we had a lovey weekend with some friends over for a meal and just relaxed on sunday as we were to tired to do anything else, and our grass got cut too......love your cardkate adderleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291184020709854997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2679804780605870153.post-44592631398273674302012-04-02T22:42:31.686-04:002012-04-02T22:42:31.686-04:00Oh my.
