No excuses no excuses! Well actually I do have an excuse and that is that my sister and her family were visiting and we were moving.... but that was in August! So no excuse for missing out on the rest of July! We didn't do much but work, and I managed to get some crafting in!
These are a few pieces of old ugly furniture I wanted to refinish! It was my first attempt and I think they turned out well! They would have gone in the baby's room if we were staying in Canada!
My sister Mary (who is serving in the Texas San Antonio Mission) requested that we send her a journal, and even better? A home made journal! I covered chipboard in burlap, lined the inside with chevron canvas, used planner refills for the paper, used grommets and hemp to bind it, with stretchy lace and a large mustard yellow resin flower cabochon to hold the journal closed! I think it turned out super cute and she loved it!!
She also requested purse organizers for her and her companion - I love these things! So handy!
Andrew and I also managed to do our July date! This was very exciting because even though we have these envelopes for every month with pre-paid date ideas in them, we've had a hard time doing them! This one was extra special though because it was a re-creation of our first date way back in 2006! Crazy how time flies! We went down to the Kinsmen Pitch and Putt to play some golf, then headed over to the Marble Slab on Whyte Ave for some ice cream, followed by walking, eating and talking. It was nice, I love this guy!
You can see my little baby bump!
Andrew being all joyful that he WON
Mmmmmm ice cream!
