Never Enough Notebooks!

Have you ever gone somewhere and had that need for a piece of paper to write on?! I can't tell you how many times I've thought exactly that! Wouldn't it be fun to pull out one of these notebooks?! I made these for the 4 women, yes 4 women (then he comes home to 2 more....poor baby! LOL!)that work with my DH, as a "thank you" of sorts for everything they do for him! I got a pack of mini notebooks from Wal-Mart or CVS - can't remember where but I knew I could put them to good use! Well, actually that would explain a lot of stuff on the floor, in boxes and on shelves in my craft room! LOL! Anyway, I used a mixture of SU products, scraps and random stamps that I had in my stash to create these. He mentioned they might not like "frou-frou" so I made them with no bling and no ribbon! I guess he knows them better then me! I had perfect matching ribbon for them too - darn! Anyway, I hope you like them!










This one was actually for a friend of mine! See! Frou-frou! I guess that makes 5 notebooks though huh?! LOL!



Until next time......

It's In The Cards.....

I was just thinking, I know it can be dangerous and has been known to get me in trouble but.... I like trouble! LOL! I thought maybe you might like to see some of the cards I have done! The easiest way I could think of to share some was with a slide show! There are quite a few on here so grab a drink or a snack, sit back and hopefully enjoy! I'll do my scrapbook and other creations next!

Am I Dreaming.............

Is this my daughter actually making our dinner?!! Why, yes it is! My friend Chantal gave us a 29 minutes til dinner cookbook from Pampered Chef as a going away gift (she's the best!)! How'd she know we needed that?! Anyway add that to a bored teenager and you've got her making dinner! So what's on the menu tonight? BT Mac & Cheese! It turned out rather good in my opinion! There are a few more recipes on her list so it can only get better!



***Disclaimer - no I'm not disclaiming the teenager (she's way too cute to not take credit) I have no affiliation with Pampered Chef other then really liking and using a LOT of their products (yep that's 2 PC knives and cutting boards too!)! Oh and what was I doing while I was avoiding the child labor laws as she made dinner instead of me?! Well, he he he you'll have to come back later and see!

Until then.............

What's Going On?!

So, okay, we're moving....soon, very soon. We've done this a kazillion times already, well, okay maybe not that many but we've done it a LOT! I love to move and the excitement of a new place, new discoveries, friends etc.. Then again, I don't care for this part of the move! The in between part! You're at a point where it's hurry up and wait. Not enough time to make many plans but then you have to make all sorts of plans. Your pantry is very low - you're torn between spending more to save more and give away less and actually eating a decent meal. Your friends all want to see you but the calendar is so full you're not sure you'll be able to! Now add to that I've been sick enough to stick to my bed for about 2 days - almost straight! For pure vanity reasons (and I'm sticking to believing I'm still 29) I had to get up to get my hair done and feed my family too! It's crazy I tell ya! Well, when I saw a link for mixing up words it seemed perfect for describing how things are right now! I put all the words that came right to my mind as I typed. Of course, when I was done I thought "oh I could have added this, that and the other words too"! This is the gyst of how it's all coming together right now!



Pretty cool huh?! Want to make your own? Go here
