365 ~ Week 15: a crafty-busy week!

The blog has not been quiet for lack of things to say.  There's been plenty.  Believe me.

You know that feeling of having so much to write or document that you don't know where to start??  So you do nothing?  That's me.

Here are a few things that have taken place this week...

Photobucket

Hubs grilled.  These tender cuts and aromas are like kryptonite.  I can officially no longer call myself a vegetarian.  *sigh*

Photobucket

We were busy in schoolwork, but had to take a break for sanity's sake.

Photobucket

We wrapped up our study in science with an actual blood typing test.  The girls' sigh of relief was laughable when I announced that there was only enough to test one person.  {as if i would have made them. ha!}  So, Mom was the guinea pig.  At least I received a good grade.  A+.  ;)

I think it's safe to say that I'm dedicated to my work.  Notice the girls didn't want to assist me for this part.  I can't blame them.

We made petal portrait {fairies} from Family Fun magazine.

 Photobucket

Original artwork is simply the best.  Looks muy sophisticated in frames, no?

Photobucket

The girls worked on hand-print lilies.  The best bouquet ever.

 Photobucket

And... we happened to be at the library when an Easter craft was being put together.  A crafty week!

Photobucket

There was a trip down to the boardwalk,  running into old friends, piano lessons, a dog under my feet at all times...

Photobucket 

And a trip to the vet.  Heart-worm tests, and all that jazz.  Chu-ching!  This is the 'how could you?' look.  It's the same look I give to the vet when they hand me the invoice.

Photobucket

We found a few bluebonnets.  More pix to come...

Photobucket 

And I'll just say that there's going to be some girl movie nights this week.  If you know my bloggy, you know what that means.  *sigh*

    I had 'girl movie nights' last week...I know what you mean. Sadly I didn't have any girlies home to share in the fun.

    I love those handprint lilies-they're adorable!

    Petal Portraits and Hand-Print Lilies....OH MY!!! You are SO lucky:) You can't do these with boys....well maybe you can, but my husband would NOT be happy:) And, you are right, looks so professional framed....a keepsake for sure:) Have a GREAT week.

    P.S. the grill shot was harsh on this dieting chick!;)

    Sorry for your "girl movie nights." ((hugs)) But I hope that you at least get to watch some goodies!

    Love all your crafts! We've done the hand-print lillies too - so cute! And I especially love the petal fairies! Now I just need to find some blooming flowers somewhere in this tundra... do dandelions work? ;)

    Great family team photos; lovely hand lily art--frameable!
    But the grill pic, I could almost smell the aromas. And all we had for supper was pancakes :(
