Packing....

I am suppose to be packing for our trip (we leave tomorrow morning) but instead I'm doing one last (fast) entry on my blog!!

Here is the litle tag book that I made for Sarah to help her remain motivated on WW! There are 4 pages where she can record the items that will help her stay on track and motivated to take

off the weight and keep it off! I added a few that she had told me about but left TONS of room for her to add the rest! I really hope that she will like it as much as I do!

OK, off to pack!!! I'll be back in a few days to let you know how London is...

ATC Challenge Weeks 4-5-6

I didn't have a camera for a bit, so here are the ATC's to our weekly challenge for the past few weeks!

Week 4 - What inspires me? I spend a lot of time looking at other's work! My favorite place to browse is Two Peas!

Week 5 -What do you miss? I miss my Mother most of all and all the things she did. This is my favorite one so far!

Week 6 - Shoes! The shoe on the front might be pretty but I don't have many of those in my collection! In fact, my opinion - they're highly over-rated! I'd rather be barefoot!

Hope you enjoy these! Will have more when I come back from vacation!

BTW - I bought a $7 Rolodex punch that works pretty good to punch out those notches! I didn't use it on any of these but will plan on it for the future! Hope they come out with something easier, but it does beat hand cutting!!

Happy Monday!

Most people aren't happy when Monday rolls around... it means back to work! I'm just happy this time around because I only have 3 days to work this week (well now just 2) and then we're off on vacation!!!

This weekend was fairly uneventful. Dan had a rough time on Saturday getting home from business trip to MI this past week. His flight was cancelled out of Lansing but they took him to Grand Rapids and got him on a flight direct to Denver instead. He was about 5 hours late, but at least he made it!!! It put a wrench in our Saturday plans though and we ended up doing errands on Sunday instead. No skiing for me. WAH! I sure hope I can get a few days in when we get back before the season ends. The season ends sometime in mid-April, except for A-Basin which can stay open into July if the conditions are right! We have never skied that late though - I wonder what that is like!!

I got a haircut and color before the big trip! Maybe it will help me look younger in all the pictures we take?! One can only hope! Haven't started packing quite yet, but we are old pros, the night before is good enough!!!

I spent the weekend working on a surprise for my DN! Since she may be reading this, that is all I'll say! It really turned out cute and I hope to take some pictures and post them before I leave. Keep creative everyone!!

6 days and counting down...

Actually less than that now since today is almost over!! London here we come! I can't wait!

In the meantime, I managed to get 2 CJ's done this week and several ATC's! Coming from a slow scapper that is AMAZING! I was hoping to trade with Toni today but she wound up with 2 sick kids. Bummer! We'll try again for Monday! It's weird, but I have no real deadlines looming in my face and I feel really lost tonight!! I'm not used to time to relax. It was a long week, so it is probably what I need - I'm dreadfully tired!

Dan will FINALLY be coming home tomorrow after a very long road trip! I'll be happy to see him! We have a few errands to take care of before our trip, so it's good timing! I am hoping to spend Sunday skiing or snowshoeing - whichever I can do! I just need to get some exercise and MOVE! I know Dan is tired, so it's really up to him what we do.

Have a great weekend!!!

No camera...

Dan took the camera with him on his busines trip this week, so I can't take pictures of all the ATC cards I have made! Wah!!! I've got 3 more weeks of our challenge sitting here waiting to get photographed! I actually am ahead of the game now since I will be gone for a bit starting next week! I suppose that's a really good thing.

We were suppose to get snow this afternoon but it never materialized. Now they say it's coming tonight - we'll see! I'm going to be a weatherman in my next career - they can be wrong all the time and still have a job! They just have to look pretty! I'm working from home the next 2 days, so bring on the snow all you want - I have no where to go!!!

I am working on a very challenging CJ from Patti tonight. Can't give away her secret, but she is really making me work!!! It's fun though - really it is!! Really using my noggin'!

9 days and counting down to London! Oh do I need a vacation!

Night all!

ATC Swap

This is for my first ATC Swap and I'm pretty happy with the results! The theme was Pink and Green. I used this great image from A Muse. It's a great stamp because (1) I don't have to color it in and (2) it's a bunny!!! I am an Easter Baby so bunnies are special to me!! The pattern paper and ribbon are Making Memories. I did a little bit of doodling too! This is the first one, so I wonder how the next 9 will turn out??!! TFL!

Enjoying (Pre) Spring Weather

Made this cute card for my dear friend Marlene, with the help of my other dear friend Toni! I saw this stamp that Toni had and knew it was a perfect fit for Marlene - the professional shopper!! When I was visiting with her in Chicago a few weeks ago, that is what we did - SHOP!! Toni did such a wonderful job coloring it! Unfortunately I had to tell Marlene the truth that I didn't do it myself!!! I know Marlene loved it (and so did I)!

Today is a quiet day in Castle Rock! It is beautiful out, so I think I'll go for a walk to enjoy the day! But for right now, I'm just being lazy - still in my PJ's! That is quite unusual for me! Dan is coming home from NM but won't get here until about 5:30 and then he's gone again to Chicago tomorrow at noon. I guess that means lots of guiltless scrapping time today for me!!

Enjoy Saturday - I know I will!
