Thankgiving week off!


Hello!

Well I have the whole week off, and all weekend i've been under the weather! Go figure! No fever, chills, anything yucky like that, but just enough to keep me down with a sore throat, cough and little energy. My grandiosa plans seem to be slipping . . . .

Boys are cleaning their rooms, and on youngest has such an attitude about it. Frustrates me to no end! Hoping to go to Archiver's (shhh, i know some hate that store, but it's the only one around!) just to see if anything strikes my fancy. Wanting to make Christmas cards this year; haven't sent any out in two years now. After Dad's passing in Nov. 06, just couldn't get myself to do it. Now, I'm ready. Want to keep it simple and have a few ideas! Thinking of maybe doing a family portrait. We'll see . . .

I'm currently taking most of my wood-mounted stamps and taking them of the blocks. They take up a lot of space, so trying to see how this method will work. I'll use them like acrylics. Lots of wood blocks to through away; keeping some to see if i can make little photo block frames or something fun. Should be cool. And IF i do this, i'll definitely share the results. That's another thing i need to do is post some of my works. It will happen, just don't know when.

Off now to clean some more and do other things.

Things I love . . .




These are a few of my favorite things RIGHT NOW:


*The new background i found - festive and fallish - LOVE IT!
*The cooler weather, and hopefully the rain to come
*Jewelry from Lia Sophia
*coffee - now that the weather is cooler; of course it NEEDS lots of fun flavored creams
*thoughts of making a Christmas list
*knowing i got my boys something for Christmas before they even asked and knowing they are going to love it!
*leaves turning color - what few trees around here that do
*smell of good candles burning
*the fact i found $200 in my jewelry drawer and don't quite remember why it's there or what it's from, but it's mine now!
*dark chocolate - always
*scrapping weekends - like the one coming up
*soups - again great this time of year

Just a few things that came to mind as i was putting on my new background. I think i might even try doing a scrap page something like it!

I just saw the most wonderful, hilarious Christmas tree in Pam's sight - Just Daily Life. It's a redneck Christmas tree made of Mountain Dew cans. It's really cool, and i'm sure the caffeine was needed just to make it!

Can't believe it's just a few more weeks before Thanksgiving break! Wow, it's gone by quickly. I'm looking forward to it and hope to get more scrapping done then.

Well, i'm going to get ready for Cold Case. Like that show. They ended last week's show with a Journey song - "Who's Crying Now" Loved it!!!

I hope to post again at least one more time during the week.
