Catch October 22
I looked at my last post and went “Hm, September?” Yeah. It’s been awhile.
I haven’t been doing too much except working as of late. I haven’t really scrapbooked or worked on my altered book much. I am incredibly interested in altered art though (thanks Leslie for the altered book book that you sent…it got me hooked)
Glenn and I refinished the living room floor. It was a tough job, and I’m not going to lie; he did most of it. I asked him why he suddenly wanted to finish the floor so badly and he replied, “Well it has to be done before getting a couch, and I know how much you want a couch.” What an awesome guy <3 We put down chemical stripper, scraped it up, sanded like woa, and then stained twice and he varnished about three times, sanding in between each. There is a spot in the center of the floor where someone refinished the floor around an area carpet (why would anyone do this?!) and we could not get rid of it. Poor Glenn. He was so upset about it…after all his hard work. It still looks really really good, and the spot is less noticeable by a long shot.
I figured it’d be awhile until a couch, but of course after all of the work that Glenn put into the room, he looked over our mismatched poor excuses for furniture and said, “Yeah, we need to get a couch. I don’t want to put this crap back into the room since it looks so nice now.” We are getting a brown leather sectional and it’s being delivered tomorrow!!! I will post pictures. 
Tomorrow is…my birthday! Glenn couldn’t wait to give me my present, so he let me open it last night. He got me an iPod classic (I’ve never had any sort of mp3 player…EVER.) and it is so cool! I seriously can’t believe I didn’t have one of these things until now. He got the back of it engraved. It says “Life – Love – Music; Forever with Heather” I’m a lucky girl.
I spent all day today sewing. Glenn and I are going to a costume party for Halloween and we decided to be two of the characters from the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon series; Hank and Sheila. I’m basically finished my costume, but it still needs a cape. Then there’s almost all of Glenn’s to do…*sigh* Hopefully will have pictures of those after Halloween!
Happy October!
Where to start??
I have been trying to write a post for a long time, and it keeps coming out too boring and long winded…then I remember I don’t have any pictures on the computer and I stop, delete it, and don’t post.
This is me posting! (FYI, it’s still long-winded, but I finished this time!)
I got a bunny from my best friend and sister, Kristi.
Isn’t he cuuuuute? His name is Sammy and I’ve loved him since I met him. Kristi and Eric’s new apt charges per pet, so they are cleaning house (of the bunnies) I got Sammy just in time for Easter! (the photo is on Easter)
I didn’t get real spring break. I got Thurs-Mon off. I spent my time well…sewing, sewing, and oh yeah…sewing. This is one of my favorite SAI totes that I made….
All in all I made six totes and five shirts. I love my girls who keep me sewing! It was so cool at our Thursday night activity to see half the chapter wearing letters that I made!
My last day of freedom (which was almost its own post) was spent doing what I do best. Eating a ridiculous amount of food, watching an eight episode mini-marathon of Gilmore Girls, and scrapping with my best friend and fabulous cousin, Jessica.
I thought I was really uninspired, and then finally I created these two pages.
Sorry I can’t photograph straight. I should do it *before* I put them in the book…haha. These two are from our MITs’ musicale that they did. I included their program and some photos. The page on the right was inspired by Leslie’s fabulous layoring and ribbon techniques. I really like the way it turned out!
I’m back at student teaching. Getting observed teaching a class I haven’t even met tomorrow. We had early outs both Wednesdays I’ve been there, so I don’t even know these kids, but my supervisor (who I’m sure used his BEST judgement and not at all his hectic schedule as a basis for this) is coming tomorrow. Have I mentioned that I am DONE on May 9th and graduate the 10th? May is going to be so cool
So…that’s all folks….for now.
