Updates

I was going to title this post "New Kid on the Block" but didn't want any of you getting any ideas. So don't...get any ideas. If I had named it that, it would be in reference to the new link on the side (Plan, Organize, Decorate - Joy's Ideas).

Mark has been telling me that I should have a place to post my event planning stuff, so I created a new blog. Click here to see ideas about planning, organizing, and decorating. It's more just a place that I can post pictures of my centerpieces and events (a portfolio, if you will) and a place to share all the great tips I read in Real Simple. I don't feel like I have any great wisdom to share, this just makes it easier to show pictures to my mom =o)

In other news:

• The door is still really red. It needs a few more coats to make it a little darker but guess what? Forecast says rain ALL weekend.
• The garage is coming along. We got 3 shelves put together and one filled. We had some interruptions throughout the evening, so we'll have to get back at it tonight. I did remember to take a before shot, though.
• No sewing attempts yet. I don't think I'll be able to concentrate until the garage is done. Besides, now I'm totally intimidated because Caroline and Karyn both commented that they want to learn to sew =o) Where's my mom when you need her?
