We are halfway to the weekend! :)
Today I have a post up with a layout over at the Craft Your Nest blog.
Here is a peek. I would love for you to come over and see the rest of it, which you can see *Here*.It is the one layout I was able to complete on National Scrapbooking Day.
I may not have scrapbooked much this past weekend, but I have been working hard on cleaning my scrap space...
Like I said in my last post, I am cleaning all seven of the windows inside and out! Thankfully, they fold in pretty easily so I can clean them from inside the room and not have to climb a ladder on the outside. My room smells pretty strongly of glass cleaner right now, and as of today the windows are done!
Right after I took this photo, I noticed my right pendant light was burned out. And of course there were no light bulbs to be found anywhere. That's ok though. It gave me a good excuse to go lightbulb shopping. Evan has had a tiny lightbulb burned out in his bedside lamp for at least a month. Maybe more. Finally picked some up.
All of these piles and containers are being sorted, purged and organized. I am about halfway done right now.
It feels good to really give this place a good cleaning every few months. I like starting with a fresh slate and with everything nicely organized. Or as much as it can be :)
Fun to look at the clean side of my space and see Evan's art on my counter. A city skyline he has been working on. I wish you could see it closer. If you click on the photo, you probably can. Some amazing details in there! And I love his array of pencils. Each one has a different type of point on it that he sharpened just so for a different type of line drawing. This kid has never had a real art class. And it amazes me what he can do at just ten years of age!
Well, lots to do today between the kid's school, homework and trying to finish up my office.
Have a great Wednesday!

ReplyDeleteHi Mary Jo, before I go over to have a look at your page I just have to say that Evan's drawing is absolutely fantastic! It looks like he got the CN tower in there too (one of my favourite buildings ever). What a fantastically talented Son you have, he clearly takes after you!
