Catching Up... Kinda

I have no idea where I left off so I don't know where to begin. So, I guess I just need to start rambling as usual.

My ginormous paper cutter came...

...someone was a little too curious for her own good. Why it was necessary to put it together on the floor in the living room- no clue. But it was promptly taken downstairs to mingle with my letterpress. I'll be heading down a little later to cut down all those projects I've been talking about in a bit. Photos of those projects somewhat soon.

Speaking of photos, I bought myself a mini tripod today. I'm actually really excited because this will make taking photos so much easier- I won't have to set up the big floor-standing tripod to take product photos, especially macros. I can take a decent photo, but sometimes the slightest hand shake can screw up a potentially great photo. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Other than working on some of the freelance I have waiting for me, I haven't done much today. Hubs cleaned the downstairs pretty well yesterday (Thank you!), but when I went to sweep Little Miss' room, the Dyson won't turn on. Great. One. More. Thing. Here's a snippet of one of the projects I'm working on.



Hopefully it's just something simple. I went and picked up some ribbon today for a Graduation Save the Date and Invitation I'm doing for a good friend and picked up our new TV.

Yes. We have joined the 21 century and bought a new plasma. Note to buyers :: If you're buying a big ticket item like this, ask if there is an "off the wall" or "out of box" pricing for the item on display. We took advantage of this and saved BIG TIME. Luckily for me, Hubs looked at my yesterday and said "We're even. The letterpress. The paper cutter. We're even. I'm so excited." Sweet small victory.

Other than that, taxes are done as of last nite, refund is being anxiously awaited and that's about it. Next up :: Little Miss' 1st Birthday. Who in the world knew it could be so hard to plan this?! In my defense (or at least I'm claiming it as a defense) everyone we would normally invite won't fit in our shoebox house. If we had the option of going outside- no problem. But seeing as March in Ohio is unpredictable, we can't chance it. And seeing as how we're having it on March Madness weekend, we have to consider not only Little Miss, but those invited. So, I think I finally have it under control.

Though I do like this house, I can't wait to have space and be able to invite more than 5 people over at one time. Yes, we're beginning to look, but that's a whole new post!

Next up, a free download. (and if I forget, someone remind me!)
