Monday...we're making a list

checkin it twice got add and minus gifts until christmas night.


This is your last chance to get the Toys in the Attic kit at www.songbirdavenue.com for the month of November 2009. They also added some quick page kits, and cards for you to buy. All proceedes go to the Toys for Tots organization. A totally cool cause to support.


..come and look at this...

today clean off my computer work spot
redo page 2 of my BIG thing I did for songbird avenue
(one of my kids deleted one of my slides, love my kid learning software but stay off mine)
mop with my homemade all purpose cleaner that smells like nutmeg, all spice, cinnamon, and I haven't even baked since the night before Thanksgiving.
Maybe just maybe finish the christmas pictures from last year and make christmas dvds for family.
laundry (hang up, put in drawers, and collect and put in the laundry area)

Brr..did I forget to mention I went on strike yesterday. Oh, yeah the blogs do reflect that. Even my van is spotless, God help any of my children that don't clean up after themselves.

Here's the pub ad inspiration from yesterday..

Saturday...

its 2:47 am in the morning. I can't sleep. I have cleaned rearranged things for christmas decoration that I couldn't stand that my DH did. I just thought like man agreed then moved it later. He really can't decorate.

I have started laundry and a new pitcher of kool-aide for the kids. I will in a minute go move some outdoor furniture around before trying to return to bed. I have the coffee pot ready to for us to hit the start button.

Friday...I have turned into a ...

turkey myself from eatting all the good food yesterday.

OKay, thank you to my congraters...

Today cleaning and putting up the christmas trea and other decorations.
Next week paint inside and clean the vechiles it out..

Yes, I finished the big project for songbird avenue. I'm waiting to here back from either Meredith or Jan to see what they think of it. OMG, am I such a tease about this our what. Okay, so, I am being such a tease sorta like a an older silbing that knows what the younger silbing is getting at Christmas but totally misleads the other just to get a good rile out that person.

I am so proud of myself. Not only did I complete my holiday in hands class assignment but I also completed my requirment for songbird avenue. Let's see if I can get my assignments completed for Design by anita this month..I may need an excused absent from her due to company coming into town.

Sunday Ad inspiration

Here are your sunday ad inspiration above.

My blog posts may be less but more contest in the next few weeks. I have way to much stuff I need to do before my inlaws get here. So, hang on for the wild ride.

Saturday....reorganzing

well, my dh got sick at 3 am this morning. I have been up with him since then. Needless to say I am exhaugsted.

I am in the process of reorganizing, re-doing stuff, and getting ready..

Friday..where'd the week go?

Seriously, someone catch the flying pig clock and stop time for a little while please.

Okay, I really should be at the strollerise class right now. Since I have not excerised all weeek thanks to the cold I got. Not happening, today. I have to make out a grocery list, break down a box and sand for the christmas project at the school, and go to the school.

I am so disappointed that no one took advantage of my contest that I sponsored in light of national scrapbook day 2009.

I hope that I can tackle the cleaning up of the blog, plus getting into the final weeks of getting the house ready for my in-laws to come.

Glad a lot of my friends are feeling well. I am so on edge right now. I am waiting the announcement of two peas in a bucket ct digital/hybrid team, and waiting on cast author's to announce their winners on their tatoo design.

Does anyone have fresh white sage or lavender growing in their back yards? Email me if you do.

Thursday...get ready set go

I given you an early inspiration!!


After a week of having an annoying cold. Thank God I'm not all runny nose and congested chest this time. Ghessh, I couldn't take it not after last year with bronchitis ordeal.

Today clean up because my DH is having a piece of furniture delivered for his office with co-workers. Thus means, showroom perfection. Love the guy, he's a good guy but definitely has ocd issue about somethings. He has omitted openly to everyone. so, that's a start.

I also have a boring ptsa meeting to attend. Since, I missed the last three meetings. I guess I better get my booty there today. Thank god for a laptop. I might just get some designing done while waiting.

Veterans Day No School

First and foremost to all veterans around the world that stood for freedom for using freewill. Thank you!

Sorry I have been absent this week. I got hit with a cold on Sunday. The whole fever, headache, soar throat, etc. Dh has been great about me resting when I can. I finally caved yesterday. I got over the counter cold medicine for some relieve. It has be nice. I just wish there was an herbal remedy instead of medicine that can mess with my stomach.

Has anyone thought about the contest I announced in Saturday's thread. OH, yes. its still going but no one has enter. Boo Hoo..

If you haven't already gone to www.songbirdavenue.com then you need too. They have some quickpage kits up for sale along with the kit. They really need to raise a little more money for the toys for tots program.

Other than that have a good day..

I have a cold..

I told it no
it could not stay with me.

it makes my nose tickle
then achoo

OH My goodness the head
begins to hurt too.

After awhile the nose dries up
like a river but then
the nose bleeds start bubble and
trickle.

So, i say to my cold
you must go go go
I don't need your unwanted
company stored in my toes.

blog your fairy name

Your fairy is called Feather Goblinfilter

She is a bringer of riches and wealth.

She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.

She is only seen on midsummer's eve.

She wears pale blue like the sky. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.

New Email Cards

The top card is made from Shimelle Lane's Freebie Kit at 2peas in a bucket site. It is an email card for the week three card class. A little late but I think it was worth the wait. The original design was done by Erica Hernandez. Who designed this month's monthly Freebie digital kit at two peas. It was used to design the week four email card shown below. Both ladies are very talented and always enjoy using their kits.
Update on the computer issue. Last night Dh and I were discussing Santa and my christmas wish list. The fact that I really do need a new computer is very important to my DH. So, he said that closer to christmas he will have to back up all my files and wipe the hard drive a few times. Then he will be selling it to help Santa pay for a new one. Laptop probably it won't be but a desktop instead. He said that he can add extra memory and hard drives to a desk top vs I get what I get with laptop.

So, everyone, FYI the blogs and creativity maybe shut down in December for awhile while we "overhaul" the equipment running it.
