We're a big college basketball house and today our #18 Drake Bulldogs beat #8 Butler Bulldogs at Hinkle Auditorium in Indianapolis. For those of you who don't follow basketball, not only was this a BIG win for Drake, but the venue it was played at was featured in the 1986 basketball movie "Hoosiers" with Gene Hackman.
Fred and I were doing some major yelling and screaming during the game. Connor on the other hand went upstairs to play his PS3. I think we scared him. :)
On another note, I wanted to share my new piece of furniture I got several weeks ago. The best part was the price. I found this online at JC Penney's. It was normally $399 bucks and I got it onsale for $129 with FREE shipping....ya gotta love stuff like that.
Of course, Fred had to put it together, but he said it didn't take long at all and he even likes the way it looks. I use the bottom two storage areas for the cat's supplies and Connor's art supplies. The top two storage cubbies are used for candles and wine glasses.
I've been scrapbooking today and I've almost finished the the second page. I made a quick visit to Memory Bound today and bought some of the new Tinkering Ink "Provincial Faire" paper & embellishments, which inspired me use it on a page. I'll share it when I'm done.
Tomorrow is Connor's last basketball game (a make up from last weekend) and then my sister and the kids are going to come over for dinner and to watch the Academy Awards. It's kind of a tradition with my sister and I.
Have a good weekend!

I *love* seeing all the furniture you score :) Looks great in your dining area, too.
Good luck to Connor on his bball game!
The furniture looks awesome! I'm impressed that it's fully stocked and decorated already:)
We have an ugly (IMHO) big 'ol TV now hanging in the recessed area of our LR. My beautiful entertainment center is history. Now we have bare wires and stereo crap littering the floor under the TV. Maybe in a year or two DH & I will be able to find and agree on some sort of cabinetry and shelving. Add on another year to actually decorate it.
:) (Can I pay you to come do it all faster than that, pretty please?!) Did you ever see "Designing for the Sexes" on HGTV? DH & I REALLY need that guy to come help us! LOL
How cute is that! What an awesome score.
Hey, is that you taking LOM? I noticed a Kristina from Des Moines on the message board. Email me off line - jskinney@midamerican.com.
Hey, Kristina! Can't wait to see how you use the TI paper. That PF line is beautiful! Love the new furniture piece, too! jp
