Creative Friday--Week 2 of Summer

Creative Friday started off a little rough this week with the kids all wanting lunch as soon as I got there. Michelle and I did a double-mom trick of making quesadillas, soup and paninis in the kitchen so that everyone got fed and out of there before we ate. Phew! We were starting to feel doomed again, but fortunately it passed.

We had soup and paninis again, and I've decided I'd be happy to eat this every Friday forever.


Michelle set up this table and chairs outside for the boys to have their board-game tournament so that they wouldn't be in the family room right next to us. This was a genius idea which we're hoping will work well through the rest of the summer even when it gets hot.


I didn't accomplish very much. I wrote 4 cards and mod-podged the cover of my Sunday notebook. I managed to make it look worse though because I didn't take the binding off the covers (lazy girl) and ended up with an unsightly edge of the original book. I fear I may scorn my beloved notebook now.

Michelle created a bunch of darling birthday cards and tags for sending to bloggers on their birthday. She's got a good thing going there for sure.


Our weekly self-portrait. We've finally figured out where to go outside for good lighting. How many years did that take?

**Do you have a Sunday notebook?
Do you make cards or tags at home?
Could you eat soup and paninis weekly?**

Your SP turned out great this week. The outdoor lighting is a good discovery!

Oh, and I keep meaning to tell you that I love your banner photo! It makes me hungry just looking at it, and I don't even like cantaloupe that much! ;)

Outside board game playing is a genius solution!

I definitely could eat panini and soup every week. Delish!

I love to make cards, but haven't in a while. And I don't have a Sunday notebook because I'm still in the high maintenance child phase with PQ. And, she thinks any notebook is hers to draw in, even if she already has one. Someday!

yeah for a kid's table-and a big yeah for a kid's table outside!

I don't have a sunday notebook what do you write in it...notes from the sermon or sunday thoughts after the sermon? We are visiting a new church and the preacher there has a study guide in the bulletin with lines to fill in and places to take notes and scripture references. I like that.

I'm glad things took a turn for the better! And I'm also glad you don't get tired of panini, since that is so often all I can come up with...
