Running Around All Day...Phew!!!

I had to go to the library this morning, my books were due and I stayed up late to finish the last one, so I had to go...but it's "game day" today in Iowa City. YUCK! SO I got up early to aviod the traffic jam and general craziness that is Iowa Game Day. So library-DONE! Check that off the list. Next up our wonderful Scentsy person Lindsey is having a last chance 1st peak  open house today, I need a bulb for sure, and I'd like to see what's new too, so that's next.

I got a bulb...BTW, Lindsey gives away FREE bulbs if you buy your warmer from her...just sayin'...and I got a new smell and a little something for DD.here. She also is selling Valada-it's warmers for food, like fondue...yum!

You can reach Lindsey here.
Next up, I need to pop into Hy Vee to get gas and they have butter on sale...only $1.68 and the freezer is getting low on inventory, so I hit the 1st avenue Hy-Vee and it's not too game day Saturday crowded, thank goodness!

 I need to get gas too-dang! $3.59 and no points on the fuel saver yet for this week...darn! Well I might as well get the car washed too...it's been awhile!





So I finally get home-it's over 90 already here.  I need to get that blue 9 patch quilt basted and started being quilted, so I guess I better go do that!

Oh, too bad the Hawks lost their season opener...

Val's Bridal Shower

Well things went pretty well. I was THRILLED with how well the flower centerpeices came out...with our limited budget. That jar with burlap and lace was just perfect! Hick Chic!

I had doubts about the location-our local American Legion Hall, but it cleaned up pretty well.

If you want some scentsy, you can click this link. I thought I didn't like the fall small-Autumn Stroll- but I brought home the sample and I'm smitten! The Shower/Scentsy party concept was another thing I kind of wondered about, but ti turned out great and a lot of the guests bought stuff for Val! YAY!
Val's Aunts all brought the food-they brought a choclate fountain! It was awesome! I can't believe I didn't get a picture of it!

Lookie at those cute fruit skewers! We made the punch-a variation of Gramma punch using Hawaiian Punch, Lemonade, and SunDrop soda. It was really good!
