I slept in, finished a layout, inspected the 'work in progress' that would be a new tree house for the kids. Yes. Husband is constructing a tree house! Intriguing to watch to say the least considering that he is into swimming pools and motor bikes. I feel like I'm giving birth to livestock... I hardly think Kendra would have had the same birthing experiences as me when her husband decided to build her this to live in. Still, I'm being positive. Oh my wordy Lordy YES! I'm being positive! AND I'm not down there supervising! And that is saying something because I'm really good at that.
Here's some of the progress...
"...Woh! Ok Dad!..."
So the floor is on and we had a picnic up there for lunch. I had to take a pic of my sub... BECAUSE I'M A SCRAPBOOKER!
Girlfriend is the project manager at the moment. She has been spending time with her Dad --which she NEVER does which is also kind of nice because she is usually stuck to my hip like an extra leg. She came to me last night asking if we could go shopping for carpet today. Haaaa! So I nodded and said "Nah!" We have a rolled up rug somewhere which will do quite nicely. She is already picking out furniture around the house and has marked the spot for a pot plant! So cute. Lord help the boys if they trash her new digs!
Here are a couple of sneaks for February at Scrapbooks etc.
This here is for my class - Dimensional Pop. Book now as places are limited.
This one here is my contribution for Product Pick for February.
And lastly... Here is the photo for Day 2 of Project 365.
I'm booked in for Dimensional Pop ... can't wait to see what the layout looks like ... oh my, have you used a border punch again?? Let me at it, let me at it ... LOL. See you soon.

How funny that you mention my house and your treehouse in the same post considering a friend of mine doesn't think my house looks like a barn but instead says it looks like a treehouse.
That's pretty awesome! Keep thinking postively!!!
Love your day 2 photo. : )

Go Dad on the tree house. So how will the boys like her feminine touches on the place? Can you see her giving them the business for trashing the joint? She will need a broom to shoosh them off- ha!
I have considered doing the 365- not sure I would stick to it. Good for you for the positive thinking.

A stylish, Peyton decorated tree house - cannot wait to see the photos and layouts that emerge from this turn of events! Am coming up for Moonlighting and Sketched this weekend - will I get to catch up with you? :-)

Awesome..can't wait to see it finished!

Wow a real treehouse! With carpet and furniture and all... makes me think of the movie Dennis the Mennace, where the boys have to spend their day with Margaret and they hate how she wants to decorate the treehouse with curtains and all! Anyway - you get the picture!
Sub - meaning Subway?!?! I'm totally jealous! We don't have Subway over here. When we visited the US (back in 2007) we had sandwiches there and we loved them! I miss those!

A POT plant? You guys grow pot? Huh?
I love the idea of a tree house. Living on our hill is the next best thing. You must look into a children's book called "Miss Twiggley's Tree" by Dorothea Warren Fox. It's wonderful!
That photo of Brad bending over with his butt pointed at Jayden is funny! The look on his face is priceless. I'd love to read your caption if you scrap that one!
