BUSY BUG BABBLE ~"YOU'RE FIRED & YOU'RE HIRED"

Sorry to say, but I had to "fire" the newest member of my workforce!

She wasn't performing up to my standards! After just 10 minutes of work, I decided she had to go. I am never usually this ruthless, but I need the work to be done properly & efficiently!
Here is the newest, newest, member of my workforce, ....... Her name is Mouse!

She went right to work...

she'll be working "FULL TIME" & Permanent.

She didn't stay shiny and pretty for long!

~~Ok, I'm done now...~~

Gotta get back to "work" !!

Untill later....

BUSY BUG BABBLE ~"STORM"

WOW!! We had a really quick storm today!! First the Hail, then came the rain. I knew it was coming so I quickly went out and spread some EZ-Seed down on my lawn. And boy did it come down after!!

HAIL, everywhere,

Patio....

Front Yard....

On the Van.....It has no home now, since I turned the garage into my wood shop!!!

Then came the RAINBOW....If you look closely, you can see there was a double rainbow!

Beautiful!

May your days be filled with rainbows :-)

BUSY BUG BABBLE ~DECISIONS, DECISIONS....

Hi everyone, we are back from Puerto Rico and getting back into our normal routine!! Boy, do I miss the ocean and the breeze, and the....(I need to stop daydreaming).....
I have made a decision about what direction I would like to take in my life at this moment. I have been scrapbooking and making cards for awhile now, but there is something else that I really enjoy doing and haven't had much time to do. That something is decorating, working with wood, gardening, and making my home the home that I would love. I'm a handy~woman at heart, around my home, and I enjoy learning new ways of updating old furniture and fixing what's broken. I have so many projects to do around my home and I haven't allowed myself the time to do them. I will still be crafting and I definitely will be blogging about all my new ventures! I'll be keeping this blog's name because it describes all the BUSYNESS in my life! :-)....and I hope you all will come along with me, because I have some REALLY FUN STUFF in store!! Here is what my dear husband gave me for my birthday....other than the trip to Puerto Rico! I am so excited to start using it!!
It's an Air Compresser, a Finish Nailer Gun, Brad Nailer Gun, and a Crown Stapler. Now I can work more efficiently with these power tools! Who knew I would be so excited about these kinds of tools!!!

YEAH BABY!!

You can even see through to the bottom!

Well, I am now on the plane back from our vacation....

what a greet time we had!

Back to our everyday schedule.

Here is another card I made before I left....

Have a fabulous day.

Here is a picture I took outside our window,
when the clouds started, literally, rolling in....
And the waves were huge....
Pretty cool!!
This is what it looked like 3 hours later when it all cleared up!
I also finished my Teacher's Cards!!
Here is number 9....90 cards so far.
