Relaxing Saturday

Sorry I've been away. Aside from owning my business and working a lot, I'm also a student, taking 2 online 4th year university courses. I'm exhausted. Today is my day to do a little catch-up and finish... I mean start a few assignments.

**********************

This week our first big purchase of 2010 arrived. We actually figured out that it is our first big purchase as a married couple. We each had furniture and so we've never really needed to buy anything new.

We bought a fireplace (just an electic one) for our front living room. It's pretty cold in there compared to other rooms. We search and searched and this was the nicest one in our price range. It is from Sears. It was a snap to assemble too. It only took about 15 minutes. We were a little concerned about the wallpaper being too much, but for now I think it's okay. I've had the wallpaper up for 2 years, well before this room ever became our living room. I love it, but my husband doesn't share my enthusiasm. I might take it down at a later date. Sorry the picture is so bad... the sunshine was beaming in (YEAH!!!!) and I was in a bit of a hurry. My husband's grand plan is to buy a flat screen to put above it. I've dragged my heels, but I think he's going to win this battle.

I also love this little stool that I got just after Christmas. It was $15 from Winners. I don't know where I want to use it, but I love distressed look it has. I'm also really loving this green colour with all the black and white in my house. My husband, once again doesn't share my enthusiasm for the stool.

Happy mail also arrived for me from Sara aka mzsarajane. She sent me the greatest earrings in the world. They are handcrafted out of leather. They are from cotton candy cupcake. I absolutely love them. They are so me. The artists etsy store has many more colours and styles.

That's all for now. Must go and work on some school work. It never seems to end.
