Where did this week go?!? Yikes! I didn't intend to be away from the blog all week, but the Professor was out of town, so that meant single-parenting. And, how does that saying go? When the cat's away the mice will play? Well, this mouse likes to tackle an extra project or two...

Here we go (and please forgive the phone photos; the "good" camera went to LA with the Professor)...

I finally got a chance to stop by The Dime Store (after I got a haircut here). Very cool stuff - I will definitely be back! I snapped a quick pic of this beauty (I'm not biased)...

And picked up these lovelies...

Anna Tovar is a local watercolorist and the yardstick business card holder just makes me smile :)

Speaking of business cards, I get mine here. Pam is great to work with and I've gotten lots of compliments on the cards. (Oh, the bottle? From TJ Maxx awhile back)

Back to projects, if you are prone to move furniture around on a whim, these furniture sliders are a life (and back) saver (and maybe relationship-saver, too, since you now don't have to bother your husband or significant other to help in your craziness)...
