time in a bottle?

anyone know where I can find some?

I swear I LOVE to not be sitting around with nothing to do, HOWEVER! this is over the top. I can't find my head!!! crazy I tell ya just CRAZY!

I have a kajabilzillion things I am trying to do and of course ALL at the same time... I doubt I'll be keeping up with blogging, I'm trying but with trying to keep the kids busy (without the constant help of the television) and the weather is teasing me... I sneak outside as much as I can without a jacket!!! wahooo!!!
I had our house at a place that was somewhat orderly and then I blink, and it's over. Ah well... I'm needing to work on some scrappy Stampin' UP! creations but I have been having this inner desire to want to SEW! I'm thinking of bustin' out the machine to get my 'fix' then maybe I'll get back to the paper scissors ink! ;)

might as well be addicted!

so I had decided to hack my time at the computer and doing stuff that *I* like to do, so that I can keep the house ship shape {quit laughing -some parts look better!} :P and spend time with the kids and blah blah blah... Dawson had school today and is off tomorrow -his birthday. I thought I'd be a "nice" mom and make cupcakes for him to share with his friends, as well as lollipops to share. So after school I mentioned to him before leaving that he needed to get the dishes that we brought the cupcakes in... CUPCAKES!?! uh, ya??? uh... NO! :( WHAT??? they didn't have them :( the "lunch" lady was suppose to share them -I bet Dawson didn't even TELL her he had them! I know he's only 6 but that is the age that they are suppose to ~LOVE~ everything that their mommy does for them no? {sigh} so the cuppa-cakes are still at school, hopefully they'll eat them on Thursday! if not -- dog food! :P

I baked a banana bread with choco chips today, it fell apart when I put it on the cooling rack.

I'm in the midst of making a pork tenderloin for supper - and I have a birthday cake yet to make.

I found some OH SO CUTE pictures on the card that was in my OLD camera - look at my "puppy" ...

I haven't even *thought* about stealing time to work on my Stampin' Up blog yet... I'm hoping that perhaps Thursday since Ally is going home with my mil tomorrow for a couple days. While Dawson is at school on thurs. I might work on it.... maybe! ;) I've been pretty lucky with all the enthusiasm regarding SU! I just need to get it all sorted out and better yet figure out a time table!! ok, time's up!

Happy Easter

today we spent stuffing our faces with chocolate :D it was great fun...

I'm looking forward to getting back to 'normal' tho ;)

So let it be known....

I am a Christian, this weekend is Easter and as a Christian we celebrate that through God's son we are saved. It's an amazing celebration of how lucky we are. When I reflect on what my saviour did for me... I am amazed! and VERY thankful.

Today my family and I spent the afternoon/evening with my mom, her other half, my sister and her children. We had a great time... it's been a while since I can actually say that we enjoyed ourselves there, I am glad :) Tomorrow we'll spend the day with Steve's family and then Sunday we'll spend the afternoon with my dad at my grandma's house.

I can't WAIT to see more of the snow melt away seeing as how it *IS* spring!!! My crocus bulbs are starting to sprout, there are other things too but I'm not sure if it's the daffodils or tulips...maybe both? I also have seen some the iris poking up and something kinda burgendy?

just enjoying all the little things :)

miss me?

WHERE on earth did MARCH go?? wow! I thought February flew by (figured it was b/c of it being a shorter month) but man, March has been SO busy it also has nearly flown the coop!!

I hate being behind on blogging b/c then I feel like I have WAY too much to say, and some of it is just boring so I'll try to sum things up around here.

ok, so March 12, I had a birthday (thanks for the wishes everyone) it sure wasn't the GREATEST day evah, but it was in deed another day that I was blessed with.

forward... Steve and I hadn't *exactly* been getting along for a while and some subjects are still touchy but we're getting on with it.

not really as much 'happening' as I thought? there is more but I don't want to depress you all and I am feeling over a lot of the saga and would just rather let dying dogs die -or whatever that saying is :P

SO! I haven't been spending AS much time at the computer lately... just don't ask what or for proof of what I HAVE been doing! LOL

today is the first 'official' day of Spring - and of course we'd wake up to snow flakes in the air {eyeroll} on a happy and inspirational note back in the fall I bought and planted a bunch of bulbs -including daffodils, crocus, tulips and I moved some iris' that were already in the ground but weren't in the "right" place and therefore never bloomed last year -sad eh? I also bought a hydrangea -my new FAVORITE! and I can't WAIT to see everything in bloom!!! There are signs of life starting to sprout up all over the place!! it's awesome :) hmm, I think I might take pictures.

Anyway... 49 days and counting down til I spend a week in the sunny California!!

it's here!!! my kit is here!!! :D I wasn't expecting it until today and voila! it showed up yesterday! yippeee!!! all the goodies are yumalicious!

I really have to spend some time organizing a blog that will be "home" to my SU! projects :)

so now that I'm rolling in goodies I'd better start bustin' a move!

thanks for sharing in my excitement.

been a little preoccupied

sorry I haven't gotten around to posting the more stamps yet... I am undecided on whether I want to part with my SU sets - I know that I *should* from a business perspective, but I think what if I WANT that ..... some time, I'll regret it if I get rid of it!?! :sigh: just call me missIndecisive!

I think I'll hold off... for now ;)

Stamp sets - not available at this time.

I'm just going to keep it simple... $10 for each set -shipping will depend on where they're going. Of course I'll combine to save shipping ;) Each set might have seen the light of day but not much by means of the "ink of day" ... please leave me your email addy in the comments and state what you want. thanks!! Maya Rd. journal set -spoken for.

...the following aren't all 'sets' but they are either mounted on EZ mount or acrylic and stored in cd cases...if you see anything that intrigues you, we can figure out a fair deal! :)

the S's are spoken for in this case.

Tractor set -spoken for.

stay tuned!!

I plan to go thru my pile of rubbah today! -I will be listing stuff that I want to part with...

some are retired SU sets, some are VLV red rubber, some is --other! LOL

it's only 10am but before the day is done check in to see if I have anything that you NEED! ;)

well... guess what?!

I did it! :D I decided it was time to do something that I love and I took the plunge! I'm a brand spankin' new Stampin Up! demonstrator. WaHoooo!! :D

So what can I get you fixed up with? I have a sleeve full of ideas :D workshops, card classes, going to look into teaching a class at Dawson's school for SR. grades and teacher's if there's interest.

today we went skating -we had a ton FUN! LOL it was the first time that Dawson was on "real" skates, he didn't quite get it at first but then he finally caught on and did alright for his first time! :D Ally LOVED it! she had those skates that you strap on over your boots and she kept telling us that she could do it her SELF! and she did! I think I'm next year we'll get her into skating for sure!

Dawson is signed up for soccer and is VERY excited about it. I'm going to look into swimming for Ally. I'm looking forward to the spring SO much!! I hope that EVERY last morsel of snow is GONE soon. I'm SICK of it!

some pics of us skating today... from top to bottom-Ally, my dad holding Dawson up, Ally and I, Steve zooming Ally around she was GIGGLING!!
