For the month of January, I challenged myself to blog every day like I did back in November. Well, with this post today, I achieved my goal. It really wasn't that bad, actually! And, I only missed 6 days on the photo blog as well. That was partly due to the fact that I didn't decide to start that blog until about a week into January. I've had quite a bit of fun thinking of things to take pictures of each day. I'm also thinking of clever ways to incorporate all of those photos into a special scrapbook layout.
Today we spent another wonderful day in the basement. We did some more sewing and a bit of scrapbooking. Then we spent some time before dinner beating level 4 in Su.per Mar.i0 W.ii. I absolutely LOVE that game!
Tomorrow morning I have my U/S at 8:30 and then I can hang at home for a bit. I have to take a half day - so I won't go to school until noon. MJ is currently upstairs working on "homework" and I am working on sub plans. A movie in bed will be in order soon, then begins the countdown - only 3 weeks until February Vacation!
Hope everyone had a great January!

Fabulous Weekend!
We had such a great long weekend! Three day weekends just can't be beat! We went to our scrapbooking and quilt clubs on Saturday and then when we got home my mom called and needed us to help them put up hay. So, we grabbed the dogs and off we went - we ended up putting about 350 bales of hay in the barn with help from the neighbors as well.
On Sunday we took a trip to Jo.Ann's Fab.rics to check out their La.bor D.ay Sale - we had a little too much fun. Let's just say that our receipt was 90 inches long! Here is the pic to prove how long it was:
Sunday night and Monday we had lots of fun sewing. We did our quilt blocks for September so that those are all done and ready for next month. Here they are, however, we are not real excited about the pink fabric in them. I don't know what the person was thinking when they picked that!
We also got a pattern for these adorable little wallets. We made a couple of those on Sunday night too.
Here is MJ's:
And here is the one I made:
On Sunday afternoon MJ made herself a sewing maching cover and I worked on making a tree skirt for our Christ.mas Tree. I have ALWAYS wanted to make my own tree skirt, and finally found a pattern that I liked, so we picked out the fabric for it!
Here is the fabric we picked (you'll have to wait until I finish it to see the whole thing!
