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!

Money, money, money!

Why, why why do we need money? Is it so that we can be forced to part with what we have worked so hard far? I do believe so. If we want to have the convenience of talking to someone else while not being in the same room, we are forced to pay a phone bill. If we want to get to from one place to another without walking, we are forced to purchase a vehicle, keep insurance on it, put gas in it and maintain it. And this is so that we can be legal about it. Now, let's talk about keeping a roof over your head. If you don't want to be homeless, you must purchase some form of a home. Then, you must purchase insurance for this as well. And if you don't want to freeze to death or die of heat stroke, you must purchase some form of heating and cooling source. And if you don't want to starve to death while living in your home, you must purchase food and a source to cook it. Not to mention a washer and dryer, if you don't want to stink to high heaven or wear dirty clothes.
In purchasing all the above things this takes away from any money you might want to spend elsewhere....you know.....like for something fun! Something that you don't have to have.
And do you know what happens if you can't pay for all of these things, mentioned above. THEY shut it off! THEY take it away! And then we have to do without. Can I just say....MONEY STINKS!
I do feel a little better after my venting, but not much! My brother in law is going through some things right now and needless to say.....he's living like a pioneer right now! No electric, no water, no heat! He's behind in mortgage and vehicle payments and to boot someone stole his debit card number!
No one wants to help, that can. People that want to help, can't. The economy stinks right now, people aren't working, money's not coming in, but the bills are still coming!
All we can do right now is pray! Pray that things get better! Pray that he doesn't lose his house. Pray that he finds a better job.
Thanks for listening to me vent! And this too shall pass.

Quick Card

Just a sneak peek of the card I'm doing for a brown and pink swap. I just love the cuttlebug, don't you? I'm also working on a surprise for my peeps, but...shhhhhhhhhhh....don't tell! :)

O Happy Day!

Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! How is everyone this fine morning!!! The sun is shining!!! The temperature has risen!! And all is right with the world!! :) It is Friday in my world and I'm glad for it!! Too bad I can't say the same for yesterday! How many of you have 13 year olds? We took my 13 year old son shopping for shoes last night. 4....count them....4 stores later, we still had no shoes! He's as bad as a girl! His feet grow at least 1/2 to 1 full size about every 6-9 months. No way am I paying $60.00 for shoes that he is only going to wear that long! Am I nuts??...Am I unfeeling??....I think that I remember my mother going through the same thing, except girls are different, right? Apparently not, in my case. Anyhoo....I guess we get to out again on Friday.....I'm so excited....I think my heart is racing! NOT! If he doesn't find any, I do believe the dear boy is out o luck! OK...........so I'll probably just take him to another store, until we find some! What these kids put us through! Ya gotta love'em! :)

Have a great day all! I hope to finish some more swaps this weekend....but only if it's raining. I've got cabin fever! Think Spring everyone! :)

Down Time!

Well, I finally had some downtime this weekend! I got a couple swaps done. (See my cards below.) We had a little bit of nice weather this weekend. We got to take the girls (our cocker spaniel puppies) out for 3 walks. It was great! Even though we did have to bathe them when we were through. It was a little muddy and wet out there. But....we're happy ...we'll take what we can get right now.
Did anyone watch Oprah's Big Give? I wasn't going to....but it was on and I was crafting...and I wasn't about to get up and go into the other room to change the channel. Anyway...talk about a tear jerker! Jeeesh! There are just so many people out there in need and it makes me realize how sometimes things just get so hectic and I start to take everything for granted. Lord, make me humble! It was a good show, to Oprah's credit. She makes these people that signed up for her show go out and earn money to change people's lives. Most of them did a good job! I think I cried through most of it!
It definitly makes me send up a few words of thanks for what I do have. I'll have to be sure to give my husband and kids big hugs and kisses tonight!
Have a great Monday everyone! Good night!
