Thirteen down, Eighty seven to go...

Well, I'm starting to get a little faster at making these favor boxes. The first five I made took me 2 hours, but tonight I made 3 in about 45 minutes, so I seem to be getting better at them at least! Here's what they look like...

I know all the tags and bows aren't perfect, but my girlfriend is going to have to untie them to put the glasses inside them anyways, so that's why I'm not to worried about it.

Nothing too exciting has happened over the last couple days. I've been sleeping during the day alot, but then I'm up late so it all evens out. My dr. tells me I just like to "work" the night shift. I figure whatever works right?

I get up and get Mercedes off to school, do a few things around the house for an hour or two and then go back to bed for a few hours. I'm still getting my eight or so hours of sleep, I just get some during the night and some during the day while she's at school. It just works best for me since I am most productive from about 10pm-2am, so I still get to stay up late and do my stuff at my best time of day, but I'm also still getting enough sleep so that I don't get to overtired and grumpy. And being that I'm single I can do whatever I want! Man, I love that!

No big plans for the weekend yet, so hopefully it'll just be a lazy and quiet couple days. I don't think we have to be anywhere or do anything, so I'm fine with that. I do have a dr. appt tomorrow, and I will of course be working on more boxes, and need to get some more cards done, but other than that I'm hoping to just take it easy, sleep in, have our little Mommy & Mercedes party and hopefully not have to spend any money!

I'm trying to save my money since I'm hoping to have something to celebrate in a couple weeks...can't let the cat outta the bag yet, but when it happens I will be one very happy camper! I'm happy just thinking about it!

Well that's enough for tonight. I'll be back in a day or two. :)

This makes 25...

It's only March 1st and this is my twenty fifth post...one more than all of last year!! Yay for me!! My goal this year was to blog more often than last year and here we are only 3 months into the year and I've made my goal! I'm so proud of me...if I do say so, myself!

Well, it was a typical Monday, nothing too exciting...hard to get up at 7am, but I did manage to catch a nap later so I can't really complain.

Our weekend was rather uneventful as well. We just mostly hung around the house, slept in, watched a couple movies and then caught the closing ceremonies of the Olympics. Gotta love the way we Canadians can make fun of ourselves! lol

I also finished my girlfriends wedding invitations, but forgot to take more pics before I packaged them up to be mailed! Doh!!

I have a new project for her wedding to start on now though. They got shot glasses with their names & date engraved on them for favors and she couldn't find any packaging that was a reasonable price, so I told her that I would see what I could come up with. After a little experimenting I found something that will work and I can do them for $75 less than anything else she could find, so I will be working on those for the next little while since she needs 100! Part of me wishes I hadn't opened my mouth, but most of me is glad that I can help her out, and I can use the little bit of extra money too. I'll post some pics when I get a few done, cause so far I've only made the one prototype and I think the pic will look much cooler when I have a bunch done.

Here are a couple cards I did get done on Sunday though...
