I needed to make 3 get well/thinking of cards. Here's one:.jpg)
Sorry if these card fronts are repetitive but I finished the insides and decorated the envelopes. They aren't being mailed so I could do what I wanted. The last card is for a special 95 year old lady whose mind has gotten somewhat fragile. Kind of hard to watch. The other two are for a niece and a grand niece's first Bday. Tomorrow I want to start on a card for a special friend who passed away unexpectantly. It's going to be a work of the heart.

When I saw these buckets and the bar holder, I knew I had to have them. I saw them in an Ikea catalog just by chance. Then it took me several tries to actually find how to order them. Have you ever ordered from Ikea??? Their shipping is absolutely ridiculous!! However, I live in the boonies (80 miles from a MacDonalds with very little other than wheat fields in between). I would have to drive to Portland (2+ hours) and endure the crowds to buy them. I usually have my daughter who lives in Portland pick up stuff but I have to wait forever to get it. I just couldn't wait this time. THESE WERE PERFECT!!! 
The second picture is my slice of heaven. It's where I stamp, create, mess up, watch TiVoed programs, listen to music, eat :( and whatever with my cat, Lucy. I just doesn't get better than this for me. I jokingly say, "all I need is a mini-fridge and a port-a-potty!!! LOL Lucy has been on her perch all morning, she managed to get down just before I took the picture! Grrrr
I have one more major purchase to finish this spot. It's a wooden storage cabinet with all sorts of drawers to replace the saggy plastic ones (look at the slice of heaven picture and on the far left you will see the white plastic drawers). I need something much more sturdy. The third picture is the cabinet I'm going to purchase.........maybe next month. Can't have it all this month. :( I want it in dark walnut and with 3" black shelves to match the rest of the room. I wish the cabinet came in black but it doesn't!!
