National NO Housework Day Blog Hop!



Welcome to the National No
Housework Day Online Blog hop!
If you have arrived not knowing
until now about the hop, no problem
...just go back to If It's Groovy where
this hop starts and work your way through.
You may find games, prizes, projects and
how do-you-dos along the path :).
We would appreciate it if you sign up
to keep in touch with us by "following"
and would love your comments!

Perhaps you arrived here from
Life With...(Julie), Great!

Hope you enjoyed that stop
and the others so far!!!

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!

House work has been like a four letter word here
at home lately. With company coming and going often.
Now that's I'm pregnant I rather nap then clean, lol!
But it must be done, sometimes.
(especially after this project, lol!)
But from April 7-10 We'll be celebrating No House
Work Day, which should in fact be every day!
So in honor of this very
important day I made this sign.




I used a $1 store platter, SassaFrass Papers
& the house from Sweethearts Cricut Cart.

Marianne B in AZ said...

You did such a wonderful job on your sign! The ricrak, the buttons, all of the paper piecing. Just a really great job!

Oh, when no housework is a requirement, I do just what I am doing right now...looking at crafty sites!

You can click on my name to find the link to my email.

I agrre with you!!! Evry day must be a no work day :-)))))))) And your project is awesome!!!!

jennyplace2 said...

OMG! Kristin...your sign is just amazing! So filled with wonderful details. There are two things I like to do when the housework is done, scrap and play bingo. TFS your wonderful talent.

Groovy Deborah said...

Hi Kristin! I remember all too well how housework was the last thing I wanted to do when I was pregnant with my girls. Now about two weeks before delivery that thing "they" call nesting kicks in and more than likely you will want everything to be extra clean for that precious baby coming home! I am so happy for you! I wish I was able to have more children but alas I have reached advanced maternity age as the docs like to call it and besides that I am spayed!

LOVE your project!!! As if I wouldn't? Everything you touch is gold! 24K Baby!

Happy NHD and enjoy the hop :)
Deb♥

Pam said...

Love your sign! I think I need one, too. I shall be crafting today. I have a pile of projects to work on...a mini Tim Holtz album, a mini Graphic 45 album, Easter cards, on & on...Kind of like housework, huh? But, oh, so much more fun!

KarenB said...

I agree - it should be everyday :) My favourite thing to do when there's no housework to do (or even when there IS housework to do...) is to scrap :) I also love going out to the cafe with my friends :) Happy NHD.

Hello fellow IIG blog hop hostess! This is my first blog hop and I had a ton of fun meeting new people. Your sign you created is fabulous! I need one of those in my house, although I think my house would fall apart if I never cleaned, with 4 kids it gets pretty messy. LOL!!
