Happy Homemaker Monday

Good morning! I had one of the best weekends in really long time! My time in Minnesota was so much fun! Spending hours in Stitchville USA looking at all of the cross stitch models, patterns, fabric and floss. So much goodness!! Then visiting Minnesota's Worlds Largest Candy Store, so much candy and other fun goodies! We then went to Mall of America, just to check it out, its been years since I have been there. We had dinner at Wahlburgers, oh so good!!

Then to Saturday...we headed to the out to Osage, Iowa to the Stitchery Nook to meet up with Holly and Anita from Shine, Sparkle and Stitch on youtube. We thought a few people were going to show up, it turned out that there was 14 of us altogether. What a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon... not only in another fun stitchy store, but the good times with some new life long stitchy friends!

And then it was time to head back home. Getting up at 2:30 am to catch a 5:50 flight was not fun. Back to reality and the work week.

Now onto this week's Happy Homemaker Monday post

I am linking up with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Head on over to find some other great bloggers.
