Five for Friday

Well, if I thought that June would be a slower month,

I was definitely wrong! LOL!

1. Last week, I got to go along with Sage's French Immersion field trip to the

Children's Museum in Winnipeg, which was fun.

2. On Saturday, the kids & I went to Winnipeg (again!) to volunteer at the

Iron First Taekwondo Championships. Jonah & Sage were runners (meaning they escort the winners

to the podium), Austin got to do some administration work, as well as corner judge for sparring.

I conducted for the patterns (meaning I called people to their spots and told them when to begin,

when the judges vote, declare the winners, etc.) & was a centre ref/corner judge for sparring.

3. On Sunday, the Winkler Bible Camp had their annual Family Fun Day,

which was a blast! Perfect weather and lots of fun with my family --

it doesn't get much better than that!

And check out who's zip lining on the photo in the bottom left hand corner....

yep, that's me! :)

4. This spring, I decided that my bedroom needed a make-over. (Click to see the before)

I painted the walls aqua mist (Serendipity) using some of the left over paint from

my craft area in the basement.

I bought the white duvet & curtains at IKEA ($60 total!).

I was going to make a quilt for my bed, but I found this one at the mall for $35, which was

way cheaper than it would have cost me to make my own.

The kids gave me this Eifel Tower for Mother's Day -- I love it!

The quilt I bought came with two shams, which I took apart (they had too much stripes on them)

and made the throw pillow.

I also made the two square pillows with some fabric I found at Walmart.

Above my bed, I filled these IKEA frames with some stamped images of

Papertrey Ink's Feather Finery that I heat embossed on melon berry card stock.

5. Tomorrow should be a busy day, as we're having a garage sale.

Hopefully the weather cooperates & we have a good day.

(If you're local, feel free to stop by between 9 & 4.)

Oh, & before I go, I just wanted to share these two peeks from Chickaniddy Crafts --

these are their two new lines for fall & Christmas. 

Aren't they fabulous?

Thanks for looking!
