Happy Wednesday

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week after Valentine's. Scott and I got away for the weekend for our Valentine's celebration. We had a great time in Norman, OK and Grapevine, TX for the weekend. I got to add a new Mark Roberts Elf to my collection, Forest Elf is his name. I got hooked on them years ago, and only pick up one or two a year generally.

I hope to get some of my cards posted on here as soon as I can get my energy level up to speed again. I've been told that I am borderline diabetic and am learning to eat differently and learning to watch what I can eat. It's been a challenge to do too. I keep craving more and more sweets, but try to curb it with fruit and yogurt stuff.

Well, I'm off to try and create something cardstock-ish! Talk to you soon and thanks for checking on me.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone was able to celebrate today with their loved ones. Scott and I are on the road to my doctor appointment in Dallas tomorrow. We woke up to snow in Norman, OK where we spent the night last night. We thought we'd left that at home! But it sure didn't last very long, then we caught up with the front driving south and went through it all again, but was not bad. We've had a lovely time, went to the Riverwind Casino last night and gambled a few hours. Then today, I got to add another Mark Roberts elf to my collection. Grapevine is an adorable little/not so little Dallas suburb. They have a really wonderful "old town" area with gift shops, eateries, and other things. We want to come back and take in more of that next time. Dinner was at Saltgrass and we had a great steak dinner. I know it's not very late, but I am so pooped from driving that I am ready to head to bed. Stayed tuned for my next chapter... after the doctor appointment tomorrow! I'll be back on Tuesday or Wednesday with that update. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Hug someone, they really need one.

LOST tonight!

I'm sitting here watching one of my favorite TV shows: LOST! My LOSTie friends are "here" too via cyber-watching...

I got my Valentine's all signed, sealed and ready for delivery in tomorrow's mail. I hope all the recipients like them... I will do my best to get a picture uploaded for tomorrow of my project. I am so excited to have gotten them done ahead of time, I'm hoping that's the way I operate my card making all year!

I am thankful for the support that my co-bloggers aka LOSTie friends have given me to jump off and start this blog. Thanks friends...
