Dinner in a Bucket

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Ours was pretty uneventful. We have been without countertops since Wednesday, and our new range is still not completely installed, so I didn't have to cook! We did some work around the house (mostly in the kitchen), and we had a lot of take-out meals! Our new counters come tomorrow -- woo hoo!! I'm looking forward to getting all our stuff off the dining room table and back where it belongs!

I had a chance to check out the Technique Challenge at SCS this morning. The technique is Dahlia Fold. It creates a beautiful paper flower perfect for a card or other project. I decided to use my flower on the lid of this tin pail. I used 1 3/8" circles for the individual petals. Eight of them fit perfectly on a Giga Scalloped Circle. I used a silver circle brad in the middle, and I attached the circle to the lid with dimensionals. I used Embrace Life and Ginger Blossom dp so I could coordinate it with this card I made last week.

Our neighbor's father passed away last week, and the funeral was today. Since my kitchen is out of commission, I'm sending over this "dinner in a bucket" instead of a cooked meal. I filled the pail with gift certificates and gift cards to a local restaurant and ice cream parlor (Skyline Chili and Graeter's Ice Cream -- yum!). Hopefully they can enjoy a night out this week.

I don't know that I'll get much stamping done tomorrow -- I think these countertops are going to be an all-day event. Wish me luck! I hope to see you in a couple days -- thanks for visiting today!! :)
