Jenna was really pleased with her watch from us. She also really enjoyed her stylish rainboots too.


We're celebrating Jenna's birthday a day early


We are celebrating Jenna's birthday a day early with a family party this afternoon.
My 11 year old didn't have many things on her birthday list so its really hard to decide what to get her. I went with a gift I received on my 11th birthday so I hope she likes it. {She's reading over my shoulder and checks my blog daily so I can't tell you what it is.}

Dust bunnies are found


After 2 days of searching, the dust bunnies in my house have all been accounted for. They have moved on to warmer climates for the time being anyway. Now maybe I can start my weekend.

I have a problem!

I'm stuck! Its been so long since I have made a card, yes, I've been blog surfing everyday and saving pictures of cards I want to case. I have a dozen or so new stamp sets ,lots of pretty new papers. a ton of new ribbons and some pretty cool doodads (embellishements).. Our craft room is almost fully organized. So now? The problem is I have to make a birthday card for my daughter, Jenna's 11th birthday. She is such as special girl but I can't think of what kind of card I want to make.

I received the new Stampin Up Catalogue today!


Late this afternoon I received my very own copy of the new Stampin Up Catalogue. So guess what I'll be doing while Jenna watches the first episode of American Idol. I'll be browsing the catalogue and starting my wish list. I'll let you know what I think will be my favourites tomorrow.

Digging out again!


Can't find my camera at the moment to take a shot of Arthur digging out the snow yet again so this one taken from the web will have to do.
Aaron and Jenna are not happy that we live close enough to their school so they don't have to take the school bus. They missed out on a snow day again.
Ugh Winter, Is it done yet? Bundle up warm. I hear its going to be a frosty one tonight.

Under the weather

I know its been forever since I have posted and eons since I have posted a creation. I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a sinus and ear infection. My world seems a little cloudy right now. I'll be back when the sun emerges.

2008 in review


I was playing around with some images taken over the last year and decided to try the mosaic format that I have been seeing on a lot of blogs lately. This one was made using
http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/mosaic.php. Sure looks like we had lots of fun with family and friends and lots of birthdays too!

Sure is nice to relax


After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it sure feels nice to stay home and relax.
Tomorrow I have a list of things to do but high on that list is to put away some things in our craft room to make way for new projects but in the meantime I'm just going rest a while longer.
