Time Flies!

Well, here it is, August already! The kids are going back to school next week! Hallelujah!!! I'm ready! They're not, but too bad. My house will go back to staying somewhat clean, anyway. At least it won't be destroyed within the hour that it was cleaned.
I do believe I feel fall a little early too. I love fall! Not sure if I'm ready for it yet.....but...if it's to be...then it's too be. Fall goes along with school, I guess. I must say, that I am somewhat melancholy. My baby is going to be a 4th grader and my first born is going to 8th grade. I am getting so old! Gonna hit the BIG 4-0 this year. Oh, boy! Not sure if I'm ready for that. But at least I have good friends to drown my sorrows with. Here's to best friends!
I haven't done much scrapping lately...been to busy. Hopefully that will change soon.
Well...I suppose. I think I might read a bit before bed. Night all!

Ughhhhh! It's Monday!

Have youe ever seen the green looking fuzzy person holding a coffee cup in any of your emails? That's about how I feel today. Tired, crabby, needing caffiene to even think about functioning to one quarter of my capacity level. It's that bad!
Have you ever cut wood for a weekend? With my father? No, probably not. Well.........let me just tell you....it's like when you're at work and you want to check your email without getting caught, so you constantly are on your guard to see if anyone is watching. You don't stand around when you're with my dad, no siree. You work....and you work hard....VERY HARD! I have moved brush, stacked wood, raked sawdust and leaves and small branches. I have blocked off the street, I have held logs while sawdust has splashed in my face. I nailed my thigh (front and back, mind you) with a large tree branch that curled around my leg, unknowingly. My loving husband ran into my calf with the bobcat bucket (yeah, baby...that hurt!) when he got to close and obviously, I wasn't paying attention.
I did all this for my father for 2 days! I am one tired puppy! I sit here at work and just wish I could go home and go back to bed! I even went to bed early. This is why I am not one for manual labor! My body goes into protest after it's all over.
The one good thing that came out of all this is that my dad was proud of me for busting my hump! And do you know why I busted my hump? (This would be my dad's comment to my step mom) - I'm good stock! What am I, cattle? Oh well.......I got a loving comment and a hug. What more can a daughter ask for?
My advice to you......if your dad asks you to do something, that consists of manual labor....tell him you're busy! :)
Hugs to my peeps!

Spring is here!

Good afternoon to all!
What a beautiful day! The sun is shining, the air is warm, the house is clean and the dishes and laundry are done! All is right with the world! I love these kinds of days. I'm sitting here surfing the net, when I feel like I should be doing a little something! There's always something to do...but, I have to say, I'm pretty content to just sit here for once and surf, while watching tv. I have plenty of cards that I could be making. I've got stuff I need to put on ebay. I could finish my book. But, nope! Here I sit! Ain't life GREAT! :) (Maybe I'll take a nap later! :) ) These are the days! Too bad they all can't be this way!

I just want to shout out to my peeps! Love ya! Have a great day!

Hello All!

Hello to all! It's been awhile since I've blogged. I do believe that life has gotten in the way! My mom was here from SC, my boys have started golf and baseball and we are running to and fro! Not to mention the time that I am trying to spend with my friends. Some days it feels like we live on totally separate planets! I love them dearly, live in the same town and it seems to me that I hardly ever get to see them. We talk on the phone if a need arises, or just to say hey! These days, I do believe the phone calls are stress related. The economy bites, people are losing their jobs and/or are being cut back. It's rough here in Elkhart County! All we can do is pray that things get better!
On a good note, I do believe that somehow, I am finding a little time to craft. Well, I guess I do have an extra day off during the week. (Work is slow)To heck with the housecleaning, the laundry and the errands! Crafters unite! Let's create! I'll be doing some graduation invitations for my sister in law, this week. I'll post those when I'm finished. The trial one turned out great! She really liked it. We made a few changes and I'll work on them on Wed.
Have a great week everyone!
Love to my peeps!

Who else likes flatbread?

Is there anyone else out there who likes flatbread sandwiches from Subway? Well, like them no more! They are gone, finished, out....to be made no more. I do believe, I just felt a little piece of my heart break off! They were so yummy! And now there gone.......quoting "For a limited time only". Well........fooey on you! She tells me that if I want to see them come back, everyone must flood the office with complaints and letters, etc. So I say.....WE MUST UNITE! We must do as they say! Come back to me o'flatbread, come back! :)

Have a great day all!

I love it when a card comes together!

I love it when that happens! I actually got to scrap today! I worked on a couple of swaps that I joined on Splitco. I had most of the day to myself for once! That hasn't happened in a long time! The house is clean, the laundry is done! The kids are back from their practices, we've eaten and all is right with the world......for now! We might have found a roomie for my brother in law and someone stepped up and is going to try and help him out. Thank you Lord!

Anyway...........check out my new Whipper Snapper Stamp! Don't you just love him! He's the turtle and the frog.

I also did a bookmark swap and used Bugs & Kisses. I love that set! If you didn't have time to scrap today, try to find some this weekend. How relaxing, how soothing......and you get something out of it in return!

Have a great weekend, ladies!
