Some days I seem to get so much more done than others. Yesterday was a good day.
I paid bills. I balanced my checkbook.
We visited the garden. Sad to say the slugs are eating our beans and ate all the lettuce seedlings.
The tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers are doing well.

I went to the dentist to have my temporary crown removed and the permanent one put on. The crown didn’t fit as well as the dentist wanted, so it had to go back to the lab, so I have yet one more dental appointment next week.
I cleaned my desk.
I worked on the daily crossword.
I made 15 gift card holders. June 13th is Advisor Appreciation Sunday, and I am the chair of the Youth Ministry Committee. We are blessed with a dedicated Youth Ministry Director as well as advisors for the junior and senior highs in our church.
All made from scraps in my scrap files.
I made a scrapbook layout.
Core’dinations (Jenni Bowlin) cardstock, sanded lightly; black cardstock from scraps; patterned paper: Bitty Box Basics (PTI); Jenni Bowlin Banner Stickers in red and black.
I took Matt to dinner at The Tap and Mallet since Tracy had a dinner-time meeting at church. We finished the crossword puzzle while we enjoyed our beers.
I ironed curtains and got them rehung. Ironed a few other pieces as well.
I read blogs and was surprised to find one of my Weekly Gratitude pages featured on the Weekly Gratitude blog. I had no idea they ever checked my blog.
I read some more of Making Toast, the library book which I just picked up two days ago. It is wonderful, but a real emotional roller coaster.
Maybe today will be just as good!
Fun post. Would love a tutorial or dimensions / instructions on the gift card holder.
An amazing amount done in one day,Karen. The gift card holders are fab…would be perfect at xmas as well.
I’m afraid slugs are the no. 1 plant enemy in my garden as well.
Love the cute bunting on your layout.
Look at all those fun gift card holders. All different – a great way to not get bored with mass-producing is changing up the papers on each… And a zucchini blossom!! Yay! I can’t wait ‘til we get zucchini from the garden later this year.
That sounds like a very satisfying day indeed (apart from the slugs of course..). Beautiful gift card holders.
Wow, sounds like a “superwoman” day! Don’t know how you did all that you did. Whew. LOVE the gift card holders – they are just yummy looking! Sorry to hear about the slugs.
So glad you had such a productive day and your gift card holders are lovely. Slugs…gross.
What a great day Karen – apart from the dentist visit I’m sure! It’s such a satisfying feeling to cross so many things from the list.
