I had a good weekend and I needed it!! I just had a hard week dealing with my job and I needed to just relax! The Hokies played on Thursday night so no football hogging up the whole weekend! Here's some of the highlights for my low key weekend!
I re-did a monogramed Christmas Ornament for my sister. She's getting married Decemeber 18th and she is having a Christmas tree instead of a gift table! How cute huh? Anyways I bought this ornament from Kirklands. The ornament is pretty but the tirm and ribbon was a bit cheap-o!
|
Removed the ribbon and added a wire with some beads to form the "loop" to hang the ornament on. |
|
topped off the loop with a clear bead and made another loop to thread the ribbon in. |
|
I used a white organdy ribbon. I wanted to add more to this but I don't want the ornament to clash with her other decor. |
Tia and I went to go watch our first fly ball tournament. It was really fun to see those dogs in action. There were a lot of Jacks competing. Tia got into it watching too! Hopefully she'll be ready to run at the next meet up!
|
Tia was barking her head off and pulling at the leash most of the time. |
|
This is a "box". The dogs have to run up and make the ball pop out and run back. Poor 9 lb Tia has to have a good running start to make this happen! |
|
I just liked this little Whippet. |
|
I got a brief explantion of the different ribbon levels. The dog who won the big maroon and white ribbon has been doing flyball for 6 years.
|
Something totally random and awesome happened at the flyball tournament! There was a book exchange table. In the midst of How to deal with Menopause and a lot of old religious books there was the book that I had been really wanting but was to ashamed & cheap to buy!
I really miss The Hills! I checked out Lauren's blog the other day. She has a really pretty theme. Go check it out!
I ended the weekend by making English Muffin Pizzas and salads for Josh and I. My weekend included crafts, dogs, relaxing with Josh and a little eating/cooking so I worked in all of my favorite things. Here's hoping that I have a better work week! I hope you have a good upcoming week too!
Joli told me about your book. I am so excited for you! When I quit school next semester to write book reviews I am going to need to borrow that from you!
