this week

Late last night we had a neighborhood black out. All the power went out and everything went pitch black. I went digging for all my candles but it wasn't easy in the dark. I have been given so many candles as gifts in the past and now I can finally put them to use!
I am actually grateful for the black out because it gave us, as a family, time to hang out, laugh and bond. My kids have been bored lately and this sure did bring some excitement in the house. It was like camping out but in our house! We got a quiz book out and tested our knowledge on every subject. Great memories!


Also, I picked up this cute box at Micheal's this week. It was 40% off. There were different sizes and designs and I just had to have one! I am not sure what I will use it for but I have some ideas. A jewelry box, sewing box (as if I sew!) I do have a lot of buttons and small sewing starter kits that I could toss in there, or I may use it for some of my office supplies. Any suggestions?
