Cleaning Poem

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess.
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'
He told me to get off my fanny,
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.
I wiped and shined the topside..
That really did the trick.....
I was just admiring my good work.
I didn't mean to 'click.'
But click, I did, and oops -
I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into it -
I was into it all night.
Nothing's changed except my mouse.
It's very, very shiny.
I guess my house will stay a mess.......
While I sit here on my hiney.

Thank You and "The List"

Thank you everyone, it was so much fun to have a revolving door of friends and family... Here are some of my gifts! I didn't get to photograph them all, because my camera decided to quit working...

Now for reality... I used to be such a list maker and LOVED crossing off as I accomplished my tasks, somewhere along the way I stopped making lists, therefore not accomplishing my tasks, make sense?? Well here is my current list {so far}...

Gobble Gooble {fabric turkey}

When I saw this pattern, I knew I had to buy it...

Now the lil' turkey's can play with a turkey...

Fall Centerpiece

Using a mason jar rack {from Elise} I created this fall centerpiece.

Filled outer jars with popcorn, center jar with split peas, sunk a pumpkin spice candle jar in the split peas, added baby food jars with marigolds...
