More goodies!

Last weekend was my fathers 70th birthday.  I spent the week helping his wife put together a lifetime achievement scrapbook.  Very straight forward, no embellishments, almost came off in a business style.  It was a fun project to do and a walk down memory lane for me, it involved so much of my childhood.
It was a weekend of fun and family.  My son and daughter in law came down from Oklahoma City for the weekend. Lance (my son) has been doing wood work, putting together a wood shop and learning as he goes.  He had asked if I had a project, something easy to learn with.  I asked for a ink caddy, sent him a few ink pads and told him to "go for it".  I have seen one very similar at a store here and had described it to him.

He did a great job and I'm gonna enjoy having my inks at my finger tips.

Today has been beautiful outside, hubby helped me stain the ink caddy, as well as, added a clear coat of satin poly to the cedar chicken wire frame that I use to display layouts.

I have been spending time in the loft mostly working on project life (still trying to finish last year) and finishing up some other "projects".

I am going to try to dig into the last pile of photos (prints) that are still left to be put into albums, dates, location & people labeled, (they are mostly 2000-2005).  If I ever get that project completed I'm entertaining the idea of starting to scan some of the more important photos of the years past that are not digital. I did some photo scanning last week to help put together a "slideshow" to play during my dad's birthday party.  But, then again, I might come to my senses!!


Thank you for stopping in to check out my life adventure.  Hope you have an awesome, crafty week!
