Another week down...

It has been a long week.  My boss has been on vacation and of course, it ended up being a very busy week covering both his job and my own.  Usually when he is away, there is only a couple of critical things that need to be dealt with but not this time, it seemed like everyone need to have something completed ASAP.  I certainly don't begrudge him his time away, lying on a lovely beach somewhere hot and sunny, but I will certainly be happy to seen him on Monday.


The one thing about busy stressful weeks at work is that I don't feel like being creative when I get home.  I was so looking forward to Friday, finally getting my hands dirty and creating another layout.

Alas...it was not meant to be last night either.  I had picked up some of the new Core-dination embossed cardstock -- the Jenni Bowlin line -- at the ScrapBox earlier in the evening.  Wow...I love this stuff.

I was inspired.  I could see a really cool layout starting in my mind.  But first I needed to make some more dictionary paper flowers to match.

 

As I was making these beauties, I hear a noise upstairs.  It is 2 am, I am putting the finishing touches on the flowers...a bit of gold dauber paint on the edges.  There is that noise again....Oh no....It is my son.  Being sick.  All over his bed...He didn't miss a single blanket.  Eekk...OH....YUCK!

Oh well....After cleaning him up, tucking him into our bed, stripping off the bedding off his bed, getting the first load of blankets in the washing machine and washing down his mattress, I was zonked.  Sleep was calling and it was now after 3 am.  Thankfully, he is much better this morning and hasn't had another episode; but, what a way to end an already icky week.

So today, I am keeping my fingers crossed that he continues to feel well and I am going to start looking for a photo got with the paper and the flowers.  So hopefully, sometime this weekend I might actually get something creative finished.  One can always hope.

Happy Saturday!
