Weekend Warriors!


Okay everybody, it's Friday. Time to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

For us it's a busy weekend. Peyton has play practice in the morning, then she and Bud have the Daddy/Daughter Dance tomorrow evening. That means much of the afternoon will be taken up with primping, etc. It takes a lot of work to get Bud ready for a date.

On Sunday after church, a local organization is holding a Cut-a-thon to benefit a children's clinic here in town. If you are in the North Dallas area, you should participate. It's quite a deal and for a good cause, too. And, let me tell you that it could not be more timely for this shaggy family. Those hairstylists may rethink being so charitable after they are done with us.

And finally, on Sunday evening we host our Bible study. The best night of my week.

So it's a busy weekend, but not completely jam-packed. During the inbetween times I plan to install toe kicks.

Also, at some point in the weekend, I intend to get that game of Sleeping Queens put away. That might be shooting too high, though.

So what about you? Add your link here on Mr. Linky so we can see what you are going to be up to. I know I'll come by and give you a hiney kickencourage you to get to work. I bet there are others like me who would love to be inspired by your projects.

Please be sure to link to the specific post instead of to the main page of your blog. That will not only make it easier today, but in a few months when someone wants to see how you faux-painted your dining room, it will be alot easier to find.

Update: Finally I got on Blogger. It was being mean to me. We had a full weekend and completed our list. The toekicks are in:

You'll notice the Sleeping Queens have been put to bed.

Rimshotthankyouverymuch.

The plan is to install toekick drawers and a pullout stepstool by the baking area (for Peyton) and use the toekicks as drawerfronts. But that's probably a summer project. I just need to get the place looking put together right now. Translation, I'm tired pressing my face against the floor and the base of the cabinets to reach all the stuff that rolls under there. It's getting old.

Bud was also a Warrior this weekend:

Please ignore the green sponge. It's not even there. It's your imagination.

He installed the casing around both pantry doors, and the hallway to the laundry area. AFter a few pieces of baseboard are in place it'll be time for filling/sanding/painting and it's really going to start to look finished.

Be sure to check out Dy's link below and see her fabulous futon!

I hope you join us next weekend and be a Weekend Warrior!




And don't forget to comment after you leave your link! Happy Warrioring!

Hey there! I do have a weekend warrior project. Gotta get a "before" picture to post. :-)

Is there a way to copy your image so I can add it to the entry? Or can you email it to me?
