Week in the Life : sharing samples + giveaway

What I love about today has been having time to catch up on some blog reading and get inspired for a night at my scrapbooking desk!

Getting to sleep in, mailing a goodie package to my nephews, sitting next to my cat sipping pumpkin coffee... :)

My 3 yr old is taking his first preschool picture today. While getting ready for school, we were practicing his smile and instead of saying "cheese" he was yelling out "pizza!!! pizza!!!"

I've been following along with your "everyday" and I know in my heart's heart that I would have love to have seen what a week in the life of my family was like growing up. You've created an amazing experience for all your blog readers - wow! What's good about today - I woke up on the right side of the bed, on time and ahead of schedule with work and life.... so far. Can I add an everday scrapbook to this week.... maybe... thanks for sharing all of the lovelies from your readers, they are amazing!

Getting a break and some silence to think!

Today i held a very fun playgroup! Then it was so nice outside, we went to the park. It was a fabulous fall day, just putting aside all the stuff i probably have to do and enjoying the moments with my son.

The best thing that happened to me today is that I woke up this morning! Have to be thankful for that!!

The good today was watching all the hot air balloons over Albuquerque. It's the middle of the Balloon Fiesta and each morning is a delightful treat.

Today I studied like crazy for an exam on Saturday...still 5 chapters to go. :)
Thanks for the giveaway! Love all the different examples of the creative week!

Something good about today: It's raining outside and I'm in a warm house with a roof over my head. I'm also healthy, and so is my sweet son.

the good thing today was that my car has been in the shop since last Thursday and I could pick it up today. Another good thing: only 1 more day left at work until I go on holiday for almost 3 weeks ;)

Love everyone's projects. Very cool!

Sleeping in (thank you 4 & 2 yr. olds!) and pumpkin spiced playdoh. Thanks for the chance to win!!

The best thing about today is that I'm FINALLY finishing the painting/varnishing of our new huge bookshelf!! We bought it at a surplus sale for $10 -- it is 6 feet long and has sliding glass doors and we painted it black. I can't wait to move it indoors and load it up with all my books!!

Something good - I homeschool my 12 and 10 year old kids and spending time teaching them is such a privledge. Now, not every day goes smoothly, but every day has its good points. Today things are clicking - it's a very good day.

I started printing out my photos for my album last night! Exciting!
A beautiful sunshiny day feels good today!

umm... I'm trying to think of something good about today to mention. How can I pick just one thing? Let me say life itself - being here and alive, being able to use all my senses. Through all the things that occur each day, good or bad, it's all good because I get to experience it. (I savor life even more now than ever before, because I was in a motorcycle crash this summer that I shouldn't have lived thru, and I walked away!)

This morning my husband, baby girl and I all went grocery shopping. It was around her nap time and she fell asleep in the car on the way there. And she stayed asleep when we took her out of her car seat, and then she slept in his arms while I pushed the cart. I love moments like this because she doesn't stay asleep like that for him very often, and I know he wished he could feel it more. But today he got to, and that was priceless to watch.

Wednesday bests:
Babysitting to fun and beautiful children.
My own fun and beautiful children will be returning to me via the bus in about 10 minutes.
There is nowhere to "be" tonight so I can work on my album.
Finding lots of inspiration here today.
Oh yeah and we are half way to the weekend!!
Gotta love that.

Good thing about today--rain! Lots of it, and no sign of stopping. We need it so much. Yay!
