Labour Day

I'm back.

What a super week we had at the cottage.

It was a very busy place, we had tons of friends up, we at a lot of food (way too much) and had tons and tons of laughs.

I was so busy having fun that I barely even took my camera out of the case.

One of the days in between visitors I woke up early and started playing with paper. I was sitting in the kitchen making note cards. I spent about an hour cutting, folding and stamping.



I stopped to grab a ANOTHER cup of coffee (with hazlenut cream, of course) and I looked out the window and wished I could start every day just like that. Sipping coffee, being crafty and looking out at the breath-taking view.



I spent quite a bit of time playing with paper at the cottage, until my cutting blade went dull that is.

I love these new cards. I sewed them today in between loads of laundry.







Joe and I would love nothing better than to move to Northern Ontario, far far far away from any big city. I know I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only thing that I miss when I'm at the cottage is high-speed Internet!!!!!!!!!!

I have so many blogs to read, I've been taking my time and enjoying each entry since I've been home. I'm still in "cottage mode", not wanting to rush anything.

All that is going to change though. FAST!!! Tomorrow it's "back to school" for me. Labour Day is always such a sad sad sad day, the last official day of summer. Today I've done a MILLION loads of laundry and done a bunch of house cleaning. The first few weeks back to work are exhausting. It takes me so long to get back to a routine.

Happy Back to School! I know just how you are feeling tonight . . .

Weren't we just talking about summer starting? And now it's fall? Well, for you anyhow! Here too, schedule-wise, but sure not weather-wise. LOL!

Your cabin is just beautiful. Looks so peaceful. Love your recent card crafting.

Thinking of you tomorrow - have a great day.

I hope you had a good first day back at work! Summer went by so quick, didn't it!

That morning you described sounds so wonderful and it looks so peaceful at your cabin. I *might* be able to give up high-speed internet to live somewhere that beautiful. Okay, maybe not! :)

Those cards look wonderful!
