Memorial Day 2010

Today is the day that we honor those people who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  I have many in my family past and current who have served in the armed forces.  I was always proud to say that they are in my family and still am proud to say they are in my family.  I believe in the need for them to continue to fight for our country. 

Had quite a busy weekend, graduation party on Saturday with fantastic food and cards afterwards. Sunday, we worked in the yard and got it all mowed, weed-eated and the pool cleaned, then sat around the pool with some adult beverages while we cooked some steaks on the barbeque pit. Another YUMMY meal!  Today, we are just pretty much vegging out.  Helped Heidi clean her closet out, then she had to go to work, Scott and I are just vegging!  Great movies on LMN channel....  Oh yeah, and we both got a great nap worked into the schedule!

I'm going to try and make a few cards in a little while after I get caught up on a few more things on here first.

Talk  to y'all soon .....

Saturday, Cold or Allergies?

I haven't done much today, fighting a cold or allergies, not sure which they are... but it's sure making me feel pretty crummy!  I cleaned up my craft room corner last night and now can find everything a bit easier!  I organized my papers and stuff.  I'm just about ready to make some new cards again.  I have used up all my reserve cards, so need to replenish. 

Been watching a movie called "Just Like Heaven", it's a fantastic movie.  I highly recommend it.  Now I'm going to watch "The Blind Side". Hubby is out playing cards, so I get movie night while I'm foggy in the head!  But  the popcorn is good... Yum.

Gotta go... more next time.  Hugs all around.

It's Wednesday

The week is half over and three days of physical therapy down, three to go... I was soooooo sore from Monday's workout! It was good for me though.   I can sure use the exercise! 

I'm hoping to be able to get some cards made tomorrow evening.  Tonight I helped with Sunday School on Wednesday at church, would that make it Wednesday School?  The kids are so cute and "hungry" to learn more.  Even I learned more...

It's late and I'm headed to bed...Will check back in tomorrow evening. 

Hugs all around...

This is one of my favorite cards that I've made.  Thought I'd finally start sharing my cards with you.  I need to make some more like this one, just 'cuz!

Monday & Therapy!

Today was a typical Monday.... work, lunch, work, physical therapy!  OUCH!  I got a good workout and I'm hoping that I will work some of the extra baggage off that I have picked up...

I hope to get something done around my "idea" desk, like move it back into the room it's suppose to be in and not in the living room anymore on the card table... eeeek!  Hubby has been so very good not to complain, but I feel like my time is running ever so short. 

Well, off to see what I can get done in the next hour before bedtime... I won't be around tomorrow evening because I have an Altrusa meeting and it will take up most of my evening.  But, I will return on Wednesday evening after church.

Hugs all around.... share one with someone and make them smile.

National Scrapbooking Day

I totally forgot to wish everyone a HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!!! I hope everyone will do some sort of scrapping, whether it be a 12 x 12 version or a 5.5 x 4.25 version!!!  I was once told that a card is nothing more than a minature scrapbook page!  I used to say that I could not scrapbook until someone told me that.  But, I still hardly ever, ever scrapbook a 12 x 12 page.  It's not my niche.

Okay, off to start me day so that I can do something scrappy.  Hugs all around!

Busy Weekend

Good morning everyone.... I have a busy weekend coming up, so and writing this a bit early! This afternoon I have a Southern Living party to go to, cards tonight, and then two baby showers tomorrow!

This weekend I hope to finish my little tealight cake that I made from the instructions posted on SCS. Here is the link to the instructions: cake. It's a very simple project and cute too!  (I wanted to rename my link, but just couldn't figure it out until I was ready to go to bed!  But I will master that skill soon I hope, because I don't have a clue what I did to get it done!) When I get my tealight cake completed, I'll post it here...

Well, I'm off to start my day and party, party, party!!!  Happy Weekend everyone!
