April jars are up! Right here, all the other special collections sold out super fast, but as of this writing there are still plenty of April jars left – ocean themed this month. Also I finally added that Hanah Silk I blogged about earlier here. And we have tons of new stuff on the new page (including Strano Designs yum yum!).

So I have been scrapbooking like a crazy fool! I’ve made 9 layouts in the last couple of days. Whoa. Considering I think I made like 9 layouts all of last year, I call this progress. I’m just so excited to start sorting my layouts into their new albums that I feel the need to have more layouts done. And more stories told, coincidently. It’s been my place holder waiting for the last batch of pictures to come from Shutterfly, which arrived just now (one day early oh ya!).

That is supposed to be 1,550 pictures, but it’s actually 1,720. I got two of the envelopes twice. I didn’t get charged for it, so I have some random doubles. Which is cool. Oh and one loan 5×7 ๐ I am caught up on picture printing!!! I can’t believe it! I had to go through all my digital files, on multiple computers, tag my favorites into a folder, then edit when necessary. I took it easy on editing for the most part, unless there was something glaring, like red-eye or exposure problems. I look forward to sorting these tonight while watching a NEW episode of the office (can I get a hell ya?!?!). I have only 4.5 empty photo albums. They each hold 204 (but you can totally cram more in there). Still the math might not work out, we’ll see. I’ll just have to scrapbook even more, and add to my category drawers (pictures of that soon).Meanwhile listening to this song by Sia on repeat. Love it.

For all of you who recommended Nancy’s yogurt and probiotics, I thank you. Man do I feel better. Like so much better. It was rough going there for a while, especially for Bj who had to go get me everything, go to the post office for me, clean up, ah he’s the best! And now that I’m feeling better I had to get my butt in gear (as my mom would say). I spent the morning cleaning. Vacuuming, dusting, cleaning mirrors, and scrubbing the floors (vinegar FTW!) to get ready for….

Our new furniture!!! Oh my goodness do I love it so. Yes I do! Now hush all you who are going to say terrible things about our foolishness with white. Here is the thing. We do realize that it is white. That we are going to be careful around it. That we will not eat in here (can I get an amen, I am sick of eating in front of the telly). I do know that I have an almost two year old god-daughter, but still I believe we can keep it clean. However we do have a back up plan. We got our pieces sprayed with some kind of repellent, and we also got an additional warranty just for the cleaning part. It lasts for ten years, and if you get anything on the piece they’ll come out and clean it. If they can’t then they replace the cushion, or chair, whatever. If the fabric’s been discontinued than they will replace all three pieces. Sound too good to be true? Well one of Bj’s co-workers has Ethan Allen furniture, and has had for years, they got the same warranty and had no problem using it. Apparently the only thing it doesn’t cover is sweat. How funny is that. And kinda gross. Who sweats that much on a couch. So the only bad thing is we were not able to sell our old furniture in time. This is mainly because they were so early getting our furniture to us (which would usually be great). So if you’re in the market for some heavy duty (and HEAVY, right Brent?) pink couches let me know. They are seriously sturdy. Old school type springs, so never gonna sag, and can be recovered. Anyway I’ve been up to other tricks as well, like scrapbooking, a lot. I’m going to work on a proper light box (for Ribbon Jar) and use that to take pictures of all the layouts, eventually. I’m behind on a few things right now!But thank you again for all the get betters and good advice!
What was that? One more shot of our awesome sofa, if you insist:

Next up funky pillows!
