I finished reading the book Five things I can't live without and I really enjoyed it - obviously since I couldn't accomplish much of anything else until this book was done.  Now I'll need to create my list of the 5 things I can't live without?  I picked up Augusten Burroughs new book today also.  A wolf at the table.  I have read most of his books (and while my husband says I have grown up sheltered...

Not getting too many projects done, though I am getting some reading done.  I started the book Five things I can't live without by Holly Shumas. Its one of those books that you like from the moment you start reading.  Needless to say, I'm half way done.

Recently I was reading a book written by one of my father's cousins.  Its about my great grandparents and when they came to America.

Here are a couple of the cool things I purchased while in Michigan.  I spent yesterday afternoon after work cleaning up my house and finding homes for my new goodies.  And since I was on a roll I hung up a couple more of my uppercase living signs.  Right now the basket is in the family room, though I think it would be put to good use in my scraproom too?
