Is it sad...

That Bob and I went to Target today to get a new comforter set for our bed and when we couldn't decide which style to get, the deciding factor was the one with a pug on the package...Target totally gets me :)



Pug packaging aside, it is very cool bedding...



It's a pretty good indicator that things are a little slow around here if I am blogging about our new comforter...let's see, i've made a couple of LOs this week





That is about it...I will be working the next few days so I can take some time off for CHA next week...I love that it is only like 45 minutes from here...yipppeee!!

We Need your Votes....

Pixie & Mugsy have both been on Pug-a-Day in the last 24 hours and they sure would appreciate your votes and comments :) Go here for Pixie's pic. and here for Mr. Mugsy Boo



Let's see, what else has been going on....I finally made it into Craft Fancy yesterday...it's a fab-o new scrapbooking store in Arlington Heights that is the best scrapping store I have been to yet! It was love at first sight when I walked through the door and immediately saw October Afternoon, Pink Paislee and my beloved Thickers. If you are in the area you must check it out, it's about a 30 minute trip for me and is totally worth it!

The new challenge is up at Category Stories...this one is all about telling the story of "A Day in the Life...", of course mine was this...



Just for fun I made this pug-free LO :)



So I have had the last 2 days off and now I have to get it together and get my brain back in work mode...if only for a couple of days since I have Friday off for the 4th!! Hope everyone has a great week :)
