Sewing: Card Holder

I snuck away downstairs for a few minutes this afternoon and made another card holder.
I love how these come together...and that they are a great way to use scraps!

Aren't they cute sittin' there on the shelf together?
Each of these is holding ten cards...I think a few more just might fit.

And room inside for a pen and book of stamps.
Be on the lookout for a new version of this sometime in the next couple of weeks
(as soon as I'm able to sneak back down!)

Progress!

Finally, after way too long, I finished the curtains for the hall pantry.  I love how they look...much prettier than the wooden bi-fold doors that always seemed to be blocking the hallway.


And the curtains for the game closet...



When we moved in, this shelving unit was on the wall downstairs.  It looked nice down there, but it has served no purpose whatsoever for the last year.  Ryan has tons of little things that needed a home...so we decided to move this up to his room.  Man...was it heavy!!  It works perfectly, holding all of his collections, toys, awards...and there's still room!


Emma and Trevor found a fun use for the hall curtains.  :)

So much for taking a week-long vacation from the blog, eh?

Easter and Mom & Dad's 40th Anniversary

Emma and Ryan on Easter



I love the leaves on this tulip.


Me and my kiddos



Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary fell on Easter this year.
We had dinner at Max and Amanda's to celebrate.
The food was delicious and the time spent together was wonderful.
Congratulations to Mom and Dad for 40 years!

Playing tug-a-war with Uncle Jon

Our family, just missing Matt

Me and Bob...so nice to get to spend some time with him again!

This is how our attempts at a family photo go...Emma's pretending to be a
rabbit and Ryan is goofing off.

Just a little bit better...  :)
~~~
We hope that you all had a wonderful weekend.
Just a note...I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from the blog...just until next Monday.
We've got some special company coming for the weekend, and I've got a
bit to do before they arrive.  Have a great week!
