Goals…and Then Some

This week, I vow to complete 3 out of these 5 projects.

1.  Finish reading Dan Brown’s Deception Point

2.  Finish reading Nora Robert’s

3. Complete the book I am in the process of making for my Mother

4.   Clean my desk/craft table

5.  Organize my rubber stamps to finally get them out of the boxes and on the shelf

6. Finish my lovely book from last Sunday’s class. 

7.  Make sure I visit 8 crafting blogs, one a day to enter the big give a way from Spellbinder's Give a Way

8.  Learn my new phone

(oh, wait…that’s more things than I agreed to do)

Any bets on what I really do this week?

Does anyone know what type of flower this is?  I posted it because I really love the texture of the leaves.

Granted, it has nothing to do with this post,

but it’s my blog and I can post whatever I want!!!

That plant is Lamb's Ear (Stachys) It is very easy to grow, too! By the way, after you finish all that, will you please come up here and do some stuff for me?

I have a couple of those plants in my garden too and had no idea what they were. Thanks to MPM we both know!

Since you wrote those goals down you have a better chance of getting them done! Me, I'd just do all the reading and maybe the book making and forget about the cleaning!

Mama beat me to it - the plant is Lamb's Ear (http://www.mountainvalleygrowers.com/stalanata.htm). It grows in the garden of our (yet) unsold home. It has never looked more lovely and I check in on it every week. I love the soft texture of the leaves.

Good luck on achieving your goals! It is quite a daunting list. Mine is much simpler 1) get up in the AM; 2) get ready for work; 3) go to work and be productive; 4) watch clock until 5:00pm. {sigh} I really need to retire...

Mental P beat me to naming the Lamb's Ears. It's a spreader in the garden, too. Easy to maintain.

I bet you complete more than you think you will. Especially if you have lots of air conditioning.

Am going out on a limb and predicting you will get ALL those things done this week. They sound like good pastimes for summer afternoons. I read "Deception Point" a few years ago, too.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
