Christmas is . . . .

Every year I dread Christmas day. Just the actual day, the rest I love! The prep, the anticipation, the whole season, most people just seem nicer! Then Christmas day is here and I have to deal with (and buy gifts for) relatives I see on the average of twice a year. Someday I am going to figure out just how to avoid this!!!! Other than this problem, Christmas was really nice this year. Everyone has job, we are for the most part healthy, and Mom is in from Florida. Also, our weather here in Michigan has been extremely strange for the past 2 weeks. I did not get as many Christmas cards made as I needed to, but then I really was doing sewing projects for Christmas!!!! I must have made 8 pairs of Flannel PJ pants, and I enjoyed every moment!!! Well I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends. (This picture is my favorite neices, nephew, mom and son!!)

Snowing. . . .

Well you all probably thought I fell off the earth. I have not posted anything in so long, I think I forgot how. Halloween has come and gone, the election has come and gone (thank god!!) and even health problems have come and gone!! So this has been an extremely relaxing weekend for me, I have been working on cards and also making a large pot of Chicken noodle soup!!! The weather here in lovely Michigan is really WHITE!!! Yesterday it was windy and rainy all day and today it is snowing like crazy!!!! I am also trying to get some patterns cut out for Flannel pants for Christmas presents, so I have been keeping myself pretty busy. Hope your weekend was also relaxing.

Las Vegas

Well right now I am in Las Vegas and let me tell you the weather here is really bizarre!!! It is like 65 and has been in the sixty's since we got here 3 days ago. We are having a family reunion with my husbands sisters and cousins and having a really nice time even though I really do not gamble much, but my feet and shins are killing me from all the walking. I will post some pictures when I get home. Remember have a really nice day!!!

"BB10"

Big Brother is officially over!!! (I miss it already!!) Yeah Dan won!!! A nice guy and also from Michigan! But what to do with my time now since BB was on 3 nights a week!!! Well I guess that means it is now time for Dancing, Survivor and Boston Legal!! Remember keep smiling it makes people wonder!!

Happy Monday. . .

So the beginning of another week. Our weekend here in Michigan was extremely wet!!! Needless to say the last day of our Garage sale was really lousy!! But at least while sitting at my sisters house (for the sale) in between the very few customers that there were, I got some images colored for cards and my sister worked on her nephews first Birthday book. Above are still a few cards that we created this summer, hopefully I can get all my Christmas cards done soon. Have a great week and keep smiling!!!

My chubby girl...

Happy Thursday everyone! I had a doctors appt. yesterday and have been wearing a heart monitor for 2 days now. This thing is extremely annoying!!! Well tomorrow I get to take a stress test and get this thing off. (I thank my Mother for wonderful genes!!!) I am going to take my new Stampin Up catalog with me tomorrow while I am at the Doctors. I have Stamp Camp tomorrow night and we all know that you have to order something, as you can never have enough stamping supplies!!! So anyway I thought tonight I would do something different like take more pictures of my girls. I love to follow them around and snap away, I don't think they like it but they love me anyway!!! So here are my latest pictures, this is Lacey, she is an extremely large girl, I don't know what to do with her?!?!?

Hello. . . .

It has been soooooooooo long since I posted anything. I have not even been that busy!! Let's see, Mom went home,my son started school, I am still addicted to Joann's, yes I would say that everything is ok here. Before Mom left she colored so many stamped items, I have been making her cards with them. So I decided that since she already went home with probably 25 Christmas cards and I have made her at least 10 more, I need to start working on my Christmas stuff!!! We made alot when we were meeting once a week and everyone had to design one card and everyone else made it. I made a thanksgiving card (above) and got yelled at because the assignment was Christmas. Oh well I don't care because I really love how this turned out. OK, I must go for now, but I have to make myself blog more!! (hope everyone is watching Big Brother - I miss Renny already!!!) Keep Smiling!!
