Wow! It's been a while

Nothing big happening in my life........ other than

Eventually our house is going to be a wreck!!!! We're planning on a putting in a huge amount of conrete (like a full basketball court!) and then some landscaping (hopefully can do that myself - when it cools off!) and then my beloved hardwood floors. We've been saving forever for some of this and some of it will have to be a loan. We just can't do all that on our own. I hate having borrowing money, but that will so pay off in the long run - an investment. Oh yea, plus the hardwoods I'm getting new counter tops and a new sink and eventually new couch!!! YEA. I so need it all. My counter tops are so dated and fugly! I really want a deep sink - my mom sold me on this when she got hers. It's great!!! And all the flooring in our house needs replacing so, hardwoods here we come. The concrete is a Steve thing. We are pouring about 41 yards .... what, thats HUGE!!!!! But it will be nice to be able to use that space for more than just grass cutting.

I've finished all my consigned project. Should start working on craft fair projects soon. I dropped out of the Livery Stables, I just could keep up with the seasonal things. I think I'm keeping some cards up there since they sold really well. I really just want to concentrate this year on craft fairs and Christmas presents.

Work is work ....... lots of changes, new challenges, just stuff.

I've been keeping up with Christy Tomlinson blog.... have you? http://christytomlinson.typepad.com/ She's been giving great tips and information about make-up. She recently used a "minerals" make-up similar Bare Essentuals and loved it. So much that she hooked her readers up with a make-up rep. Then she's turned us on to E.L.F makeup, which I think I've seen at KMart, but on this site the makeup was only $1.00. Can you imagine? I bought $14.50 worth of stuff, including a set of makeup brushes, cause I soooooo need to replace all of mine! Anyways, take a look at her site, it's fun.

Gotta run to a meeting, blog ya more later!

Up to my ears in consignment projects


I have 4 clipboards I'm trying to complete by tomorrow and a 11 x 8.5 baby book - boy..... you know how I struggle with boy stuff. Although with an 11 x 8.5, it should be all good.... more room to play with than the 8x8. The client wants some 4x6 mats and some 5x7 mats.... mostly by the month with a few "extra" pages thrown in! Need lots of rubons to do "month" 1, etc..... I'd love to run up tot MIB tomorrow while by boards are drying, might try that pretty early, so I can come home and clean/laundry and then deliver the boards to my best buddy.


Wanted to share some recent pictures, but blogger is being bad. Let me try just one at a time.


Nana, Em & Me

Me and Em being silly!!!

I had another to share, but can't get the orientation to stick, so I'll have to upload it using blogger, maybe Monday.

Have a great weekend!!!!!
