the brewers are back!

baseball season is in full swing again and scott and i celebrated by attending the brewers opening day game last friday and what a game indeed!! here's a cute pic i snapped of us as the game wrapped up. Notice the sweet sausage race hat that scott gave me :)
I also used the remainder of my saturday night to work on the final pages of my mini-book about scott and me. i love how this turned out...and i'm glad i eased myself back into scrapbooking with something small, not nearly as intimidating. here are the final pages to the book-still need to decorate the outside of the album though.....


i've taken up a new project to work on now that it's spring (or possibly an overload of late nights and hgtv)-refinishing an old kitchen table and chairs (4) and bring them back to life in a super cute and fun way! my inspiration comes a la' "FRIENDS"-my favorite show, my brother laughs at me because he knows whenever he visits there will be a dvd of friends playing somewhere in the house. but back to the subject! i plan on sanding the table and staining in a dark brown, and then painting the chairs a color-i'm thinking cranberry and reupholstering the fabrics in a really great dahlia upholstery fabric with great mustards and burnt orange flowers i saw at my local craft store. i'll try to remember to take before pics so you all can be amazed at the finished product lol!
it's raining horribly here today...rain makes me restless...tomorrow is predicted to be sunny...i could use some sunshine to snap me out of my blahs. it's late. must rest. need to save up my energy for table sanding tomorrow :)

Love your mini book, can I ask what size it is? I like how you used the pictures for the full page. I hope to copy that style on a book someday. I just started using small books so I'm new to it. I was a 12x12 person and then got burnt out on them. Your dog is a cutie, I have three street muts that I love also. Take care
