My week

So, the good news is that I am almost fully recovered from my bronchitis.  The bad news is that I almost cut the tip of my finger off... unbelievable.  I was chopping onions last night, and my freshly sharpened knife sliced right through the tip of my ring finger.  It bled a lot and I cried.  I phoned my mom (who lives about 5 minutes away) and she came down and fixed me up, and as a bonus washed my dishes.  What a great mom!  

Anyways, the finger is healing.  It's always scary when I do something to one of my fingers because I am a massage therapist and I use them all day.  Crisis averted.

I thought I'd post  what I have been up to this week.  First, I decided that my husband and I needed a menu board.  For the past month, we've been planning our dinners, so I can grocery shop easier and not feel so stressed about what to cook.  We've just been writing it on a piece of paper on the  f ridge, but I wanted something more.  This led to a post done by the idea room.  Here is how mine turned out:

I love it.  I really wanted the frame to be purple, but I think I need to break my husband in slowly!

Secondly, I made clipboards for our bills.  Because I have a home based business, I need to keep almost all our receipts, and the paper can get out of hand.  We tend to miss bills that need to be paid, or lose something that I need for taxes. To solve this I made one clipboard that says "pay" and another that says "file".  Hopefully this will help, and my fridge won't look like a sea of bills anymore.

I used some Amy Butler scrapbook paper on the front, on the back (not shown... oops) is some Martha Stewart paper.  I glued everything down with mod podge.  Then, I cut out some extra flowers and glued them on the back.  Around the edge I used purple ribbon to finish it off.  I love them.

Anyways, that's all.  I am off to have a family get-together and celebrate Canada's GOLD and enjoy the closing ceremonies for the winter olympics.

Cheers!
