DIY Birthday Cards

So this weekend, as I shared with everyone, was a little bit of a trying situation as it relates to my relationship with Rob. Not that anything is wrong or even warranting concern at all, but it's just plain old tough sometimes when the face-to-face contact that so easily solves this kinda thing isn't available. The struggle is real, people... :p .

And then he sends me a picture of his desk space.
... And I smile.
.... And so I took one of mine and threw us both on there and called the whole thing a his&hers kinda deal. It won't seem like much to most of you, but it meant a whole bunch to me today, and I was quickly reminded that I am a blessed girl, in many ways.
his & hers workspaces (:
He's awesome.
& I love that guy..
... a lot. (:
& 'Nuffa that.

One of the BEST perks of all my stuff being out of storage and into my house now is that I have all my craft stuff back. I'm not a true DIY snob, no, but if there's one thing I hate doing, it's buying birthday cards for people from the store. I'll do it if I have to, sure, but why, when I could make one?
this is no game. this... is birthday card time.
Not only did I have reason to make one card, but I have two people with approaching birthdays! (:

The first one.. I cannot show you right now, because it's Rob's, and his birthday isn't until next week, and there's no way the world will see this silly card before he does... so that'll have to wait. The other one is for my boss, Nancy, who I know won't see this.. or if she does, I can pretty much guarantee it won't be until after she's seen the card in person.
stamps galore ;)
Either way, there was MUCH DIY fun had tonight.. with two cards that are pretty fun if you ask me (:

diy birthday card for the 'first lady' of our office!
I'm praying this will be a good week. Sydni has an appointment on Friday for a small hernia that more than likely will require a quick surgery, but I'll know more after the consultation. I'm doing my best not to overreact; I'm trying to stay in that neutral zone of concerned but not panicked on the whole thing, but I've had my moments the past week. The good news is, she's a healthy little ox right now, so I'm just praying for minimal time under the knife and a quick recovery. And no, it's not me pretending to be noble when I say that I wish this was me and not her.... but I really do. *Sigh. I'll keep ya'll posted, but prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Make it a great week!

Today Was Thursday

I had to send some mail today, and went next door to Kroger to get a couple of stamps before work. This is the strip she gave me, and I had a moment of pride that I really wanted to capture. It seems small, I know, but it means things to us that we take for granted every day. 
Work went well today, considering Elisa is on vacation until next week. The Winnenberg's were here for the day today to lend hands, and I think Amber from their office may be here tomorrow to help out as well [woo!] Good stuff. I don't know that we'll have someone new on the books for this week, but the current issue of having orders and only lacking the people to fill them is a good problem to have for newbies like us ;)

I signed a lease today, too... [one step closer!!]

Rob sent me this randomly, as we were both driving home from work, two states away. He was laughing about this full-sized poodle and its windblown joy-ride. Simple things (:
♪ ♫ free & easy down the road we go.... ;) 
And then Ali... sent me these! Note: These are dry-erase and chalk wall circles that I bought her moooonths back - like, Christmas time. Wish I could've been there to hang these with you!!! I think I just decided I should redecorate my new digs with dry-erase and chalk circles, haha.

i miss you, my friend!!!
And nooooow.... I'm here with Becky watching Safety Not Guaranteed, a weird Indie film that is actually entertaining. Ya know, I think we're really on to something here with these quirky movies.

So that being said, I'm gonna go do that, call Rob back, and call it a night (:
TOMORROW = SYDNI! +CAMPING! +ART! ... I only wish two little white pups had babysitters for the weekend. *Sigh. Soon....
