Faux Tag Spread

In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread. By tracing around it and then shading in the edges, I was able to mimic the look of layered paper and give my pages extra depth without the bulk. It creates a dimensional effect that makes the tags look like they’re tucked right into my notebook. To keep that “layered paper” look going, I added strips of washi tape from the Planner Kit to the top and bottom of each 'tag'  Washi is one of my favorite ways to bring in more texture without overwhelming the page. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule.

To Do List

Both older boys and hubby were gone last weekend. So if you did the math correctly, that left Luke and I at home alone.

yeah right...I could have sat my rotund behind on the couch and watched copious amounts of the Bravo and Food Network channels. But since I am so very far behind on my housework I put together a list in Oede9's Spiderman notebook.  A list that kept growing. 


 

Yes..and I even wrote stuff down that wasn't on the list just so I could cross it off.  
Admit it...you've done it too!



While cleaning out the refrigerator  in my bathrobe I had a rewind moment.  I remember watching my mother wash out the fridge in her bathrobe using knitted dish rag and an ice cream pail.  Up until that Saturday I had always used paper towels and spray cleaner.  What possessed me to use a knitted rag and pail is beyond me.  But what I do know is that when the opportunity arises to clean the fridge you do it wearing whatever you have on...Sunday best or otherwise.

 

And it worked! While Luke was snoozing I not only got the fridge cleaned out but also the freezer and pantries.
4 down, 22 to go with 48 hrs. left.
I felt like I was one of those reality challenge shows. Boy, wouldn't watching me cleaning in my pj's be riveting!
