Perhaps Plexiglas Is The Answer!

I spent some time looking at Plexiglas to see if there was a cheaper way to frame my prints! And, no it's not! But, I still like the idea of matting them and placing them between two pieces of Plexiglas though! It will be the same amount as wood for the most part but I like the unique feel to it!...

Another Week Has Passes And I Am Left To Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait...

Another weekend is upon me and I still haven't heard anything! I truly did not expect but I was hopeful! By Monday 2 weeks will have passed and that means hopefully only one more to wait at the longest! The best part is that hockey starts this weekend so at least I can keep myself occupied and not...

There's A Lull, There's A Lull, And Man Alive, There's A Lull! My Oh My!

I have spent the last two days trying to decide what color laminate I would like in the living and dining rooms as well as carpet for the bedrooms! My goodness the selections seems to be endless! I have a fancy for red maple with a butterscotch stain or Canadian maple! Both are very warm and either... Sign in to see full entry.

As A Single Lady I Contacted A Man On Craigslist! And He Called Me...LOL!

I contacted a man on Craigslist who had advertised making frames! His were made of cedar! I thought it might be nice to have something different! He called me and we talked about the size although I had included it in my email! He said he could make them for $20 each! I told him I was buying a house... Sign in to see full entry.

I Got The Coolest Surprise From My SIL Today! I Mean Coolest Surprise!

Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year! It is the recognition of the birth of my Lord and Savior first and foremost for me! But, I love to give great gifts, that are within my budget, and wrap them in awesome paper with exciting trimming, too! At the end of the season I peruse the stores... Sign in to see full entry.

As The Weekend Comes To A Close, My Angst Begins To Increase...

The weekend is coming to a close and my angst is increasing! I rest the most on the weekend with this waiting to close on my house because I know that nothing will happen! It has helped a great deal! However, I begin the second week of the latest wait for the paper work to come together per the... Sign in to see full entry.

I Got The Deal Of The Century Today! How Utterly Fortunate For Me?

I have the good fortune to get a Barnes and Noble gift card each year for a Christmas gift! I had planned to buy bookends this year but I couldn't warm up to any they had to offer at the store today! So I browsed the bargains. I picked up a couple of books I liked then I can across an M.C. Escher... Sign in to see full entry.

WOW! It's Cold In The Treasure Valley! I Mean Cold! BRRRRRRRRR!

The over night low tonight is 1 degree farenheit (-17 Celius) and I can envision my heating bill go through the roof with the heat! LOL! I have a well insulated home with no icicles hanging but it's still costly to keep warm! I like my house at about 65 degrees but since my daughter moved back home... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Snowing Again! My Goodness, I Can't Remember A Winter Like This One!

I was out before daylight shoveling the drive and sidewalk this morning and I have to go back out and shovel again! It's not like we are getting a huge amount of snow, just that annoying inch at a time! I know I have no place to complain but it's a tough one when I live in the desert, although it is...

Great Deals at the Depot Today, But I Had to Walk Away from Them!

Jes gave me a Home Depot gift card for Christmas! I told her it probably enough to get the supplies I need for painting, and indeed it was enough! Now I just need to buy the paint and I am good to go! I will not make that purchase until I get a closing date! I kind of riled my SIL this morning when... Sign in to see full entry.
