No Housework Blog Hop!!

WELCOME to the National No Housework Day Online Blog hop! We celebrate this national holiday by scrapping today and into the weekend with projects that remind us of housework or getting away from it!!! Take the day off, put up your feet and let's hop!
 
If you have arrived not knowing until now about the hop, no problem...just go to the blog If It's Groovy and start from there. If you've started at the beginning, you should be coming to my blog from Peg's Crafting Corner. When you have seen all you need to see and left a comment on my blog you will need to go next to Heather's Blog Scrapping the Guys.

Today I have for your viewing pleasure =) a card I made for the blog hop challenge over at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things. The challenge is about our favorite colors. Mine is Green! I love all shades and when I was younger I wanted to paint my entire room green, my mother put her foot down on that one though. Maybe someday I'll have my green bedroom, until then I will try to work it in to my life in all possible ways! This is a simple card but it was fun to make!



This next project, I made in honor of this fun hop! I made it about my most dreaded chore ever…folding clothes! I hate it with a passion! If I could get away with it, my entire family would live out of baskets of clean but unfolded laundry! I am such a procrastinator that I will often have 3-4 baskets full to nearly toppling over of clean clothes before I can make myself fold them! I'd rather scrub toilets all day than fold laundry! =)

For this LO I used some leftover fabric and sewed it onto my page. My journaling is all along the curve of the fabric.



Thanks for visiting, remember to leave a comment and if you are so inclined I'd love it if you became a follower too! Your next stop on this hop is here! Below is a list of all the blogs in case you get lost! =)

    Oh! That picture of the bed could have been taken on a laundry day at my house. Dump it all on the bed and fold it up! Hopefully I won't have to do any of that on No Housework Day!

    Super cute card and I love the laundry layout, which by the way is my least favorite chore as well! Enjoy this no housework day!

    I love green too - and your card is fab! But the layout, well that really speaks to me, LOL!! I think we can all relate to the laundry... it just never ends does it? One load done, and there's always another in its place. (Well, not today!!)

    Love the laundry layout! I always have piles of laundry, it will make a great layout. I'm already picturing the paper I will use! It's at the top of my hate to do list of housework also, but cooking is still #1!

    Sweet projects! And I'm the worst for leaving clothes in the dryer so long that I have to add a wet towel and RE-dry them so they aren't wrinkled. I'm new to your blog and am now a follower. So very nice to meet you. Stop by my blog sometime and say hi. HUGS!

    Great use of fabric on this LO! I don't mind washing the laundry, but I, too hate folding and putting away. I'm not brave enough yet to take and share a pic of my "clean clothes mountain", but maybe I should take a picture now and scrap the before and after!

    I love it, folding clothes is my most dreaded chore, I can count 7 baskets in my bedroom right now, make that 8, one was hiding. I dislike whites the most, all those socks missing their mates. I am a new follower.

    Hello fellow IIG blog hop hostess. I am a new follower. I hate putting away laundry, unfortunately my laundry is always all over my couch, folded until the kids unfold it or throw it on the floor. LOVE your LO!!! TFS! :-)
