Taking the rest of the afternoon off to tidy up my surroundings...

my house, my office, my laundry & my cooking all take a hit when I'm in the "design mode". My husband (one handed and all) bless his heart, picks up the slack around the home front during this time...I probably owe him a lovely home cooked candlelight dinner this evening!!

Have a swell weekend everyone,

Brenda

Don't forget...the blog hop starts Tuesday!
