Happy Weekend!

Good morning! I plan on keeping it low-key this weekend as I was home sick with the cold and flu this past week.
I wanted to show you a few more things I did for our house. In the latest issue of Country Sampler magazine, I got this idea to make a feed sack style valance. I already had some burlap on hand so I just needed to get a stencil- which I found at Euro Stencil Designs on etsy.
It looks perfect in my laundry room!
I also fell in love with this huge print screen of a horse- that I saw at Home Sense.
Last week, I slowly started working on the pages of my latest art journal. I am enjoying the process so much! At one point I found myself working on these pages unti 1 am- without even noticing it. It felt like I was in a trance.
Here is a sneak peek on something I will be working on next week. I hope I can sneak away some time to work on it- between work and the kids.

Before I go, last week the talented Denise from In my Blue Room- was a Guest Curator on Crescendoh and I was honored to have her name my blog as one of her favourites. Click on the image to get a close up of Jenny's chocolate smile from my Valentines post -created last year.

Cool again and again, but not cool that you were sick. You get sick a lot don't you?? It seems like it from my end. Touch wood, I never get a cold let alone a flu. Maybe it's because your kids are in school and they bring it home?? Poor you.
LOVE your journaling pages.
Mild here today, but not like you guys. We still have a nice blanket of snow on the ground. Was sunny all day, now it's just grey. I need a sunny vacation. Can't seem to find any deals out of Ottawa. I'll keep looking.
Hope you are getting lots more done. You still have tomorrow ; )

Take care and stay well. I think muffins are very good for colds and flu. Well, colds anyway. Congratulations on being mentioned on Creszendoh. That is such a great site. I will go look for you!
Hugs,
