The to-do List

My daughter gave me a to-do list notepad for my birthday. I have mentioned that I tend to have a small attention span for anything to do with housework. I have a feeling I am not in the minority here. I can sit and cut and paste paper for hours. The sewing machine can also amuse me from sun up to sun down. I have things that need to be done which I do not consider to be to much fun. Cleaning the basement, the pantry, sorting out old clothes and just general spring cleaning. The to-do list has a few entries for today. The first is a trip to my daughter's college for books for summer classes and the dreaded cleaning of the basement. No paper crafts today.

    Hey Denise, I'm with you when it comes to cleaning, My excuse is that I have better things to do. When I make a to-do list I forget where I put the list. I've been watching for your etsy, I bet it will be beautiful. Hugs, RoseMarie

    Interesting comment you made on my blog, as to the Harrison Ford movies you like. YEs, I like those two; he was also really good in Witness, Frantic, and Working Girl.

    Have you ever done decoupage? I used to do that alot when my daughter was small...I found it very relaxing to sit and cut the decoupage pictures...no matter how intricate and detailed they were...

    Tonight I simply *had* to mop the floor...on account of the dog...you know.....I mopped the entire downstairs twice--first with Murphy's oil, and then water and bleach solution. Not my idea of fun.

    I like those yellow clips..I've never seen them in any other colour than black.

    It reminds me of the first time I saw coloured paper clips....wow, so impressive.....and too nice to give away to anyone!

    The yellow clips were part of a birthday gift from my niece Stacy. They are very cute.
