Happy Dance of Sampler Joy!!
Anyone want to put on their happy dance shoes and join me? I finished my sampler this afternoon:

It's not washed or ironed yet, and it will be awhile until I get it framed because it's so big. I know exactly where I want to put it, too. There is a perfect spot in the dining room where everyone will be able to see it.
Talk about excited!! I am so happy to finally finishe this piece. I remember when I started it, thinking that 20 pages seemed so long. I still does, to be honest, but I guess when you compare it to the 69 page HAED, the 20 page sampler was a cake walk! When you first start something like this I guess you feel like you will never get to the end, or at least that is how I felt about it. But look at me now? One HUGE project done and out of my stitching bag! Now I plan on finished the LHN piece that I have started and then I think I will start some Christmas ornaments. I'm moving right along.
We are down to the last week of summer vacation here. Both if the kids finally got their teacher assignments in the mail. M got his yesterday, but nothing for Z, so I figured that it would come today. No, nothing in the mail addressed to the parents of Z. So, I called the school and they told me that it came back to them marked, "No such address." Umm...could that be because they have him living in the wrong town? So, we walked up to the school, which is not that far away, to pick up his envelope. Tomorrow we are heading out for one more beach day before the end of the summer, which everyone is looking forward to. Then the lazy days of summer will be behind us and it will be back to school bed times, and schedules, and routines. While it's nice to have the summer days where I usually don't have to go anywhere at specific times, I do look forward to getting back into the school routine. As much as I hate to admit it, I like the routine of getting ready for the day and everyone knowing exactly what it expected of them in the morning before they can play and head out to the bus stop. But, then again, we still have a week!
Have a good night!
