Sneakers and To Do Lists. Happy Girl!

Well. He almost made it to my birthday:). Phil walked in from work tonight and made a bee-line to the bedroom. Brought me out my pressie:). I like waiting for gifts...it's the anticipation that makes it fun, but I didn't put up a fight. This is a record for him!! He has had it hidden for weeks. I'm actually really proud of the guy! And he knows how to make my day! Let me be honest-- sneakers are like diamonds to me. I LOVE getting a new pair of running shoes. I think Phil has bought me a new pair once a year since we've been married:). I get so excited when I see that shoe-shaped box in wrapping paper! New sneaks just put a spring in my step...get my butt movie' a bit faster on the treadmill! He also bought me my favorite running gear! I practically live half my life in Under Armour. I love it:). I'm one happy girl...and it isn't even my birthday yet!

 Earlier in the day, I was running errands and discovered the craft store had put out loads of Valentines-themed embellishments, papers, and goodies. I couldn't stop grabbing things from the shelves. I really love making things for Valentines Day. I feel like every project really is filled with love!! (PS...peek at the new Valentine's stamp coming out tomorrow girlies!!...)

After bringing home all those new embellishments, I just had to play for a while! Sometimes on a super busy week, it is nice to take a crafting break and make something you just can't wait to try! Right? It's kinda refreshing:). Last night I wrote down my "To Do" list at my desk. I realized that I don't think in lists. I think in blocks. Sounds really funny, huh!?! (Phil looked at me cross-eyed when I tried to explain this to him tonight.)  I group all my like things together in my mind...my to-do's are very categorized, as opposed to listed. Blocks.  Maybe that is the meaning behind the word "blockhead."  Yeah.  I could definitely qualify as one of those:).

After that Ah-Ha moment;), I decided to try and make a to-do list that fit me better. Helped me visualize everything in my day better than a bunch of lines on a pad of paper stuck to the fridge. Here is what I came up with...And I used my Zutter bind-it machine to keep all my sheets together in a cute, little handmade book. I really like it:)! Here is my list for tomorrow...

I thought maybe there are more girls like me who could make good use of my To-Do Project, so if you want to print out sheets of your own, click here...
