christmas countdown

I have waited to long so now I have to play catch up so lets get started
December 1
I have looked high and low far and wide and could not find curtins to fit my living room, that frustrates me so much when it comes to liveing here when it comes time for me to decorate i can never find what I have in mind for my house I dont know weather it just my taste or these lousley stores here so I have to improvise and work with what I have here, I got these curtins from Roses and beleive it or not these are shower curtins and now I have to put my skills to work and make these shower curtins into living room window curtins.



December 2


Today I had lunch with Gracie Poo, we ate at our favorite mexican place 3 Amigos and as we ate we talked about old times and new what she has been doing since she retired and what I have been doing since I took over her place at eic we talked about our aces and pains and troubles and whoes and about our good time here and there we talked about how we missed working together we talked about how I cant wait to retire but still have a long way to go, but the main thing is we talked and I think Grace really needed that, after all that talking I paid for lunch, Grace left the tip and I went back to work and she went to the book store to get her some more reading material, I miss her, I dont miss some of her ways but I miss having her around, Good luck grace on your new adventure.

December 3,
Still working on these damn Curtins and they are really getting on my nurve I fix one thing and before I know it there is another thing not fitting the was I seem to think it should, why didnt I just buy the marerial and make these things from scratch because thats what it feels like I doing now, I dont want to waste my money but I dont think I have the patience to work on these things any longer I think I gonna quit.








December 4
Well after much looking and a very very very long wait I have finally done it, I have went and got myself a wii I cant beleive I got a wii I knew sooner or later they would send enough of them to the stores for every one to get one, Called Daniell on my way home to pick with her, she didnt think it was funny, cause she did get hers yet but can you beleive it I got a wii and ashley and Kristy want me to open it a play with it so bad not gonna happen I am gonna wait for Christmas I want something under the tree to open to when Ashley is tearing rapping paper and throwing boxes around, I love it just love it.

been working

I've been working long and hard on my countdown to chirstmas book and I'm really liking the way it's turning out I really must post some pictures. I am so glad I followed Ali on this venture It really looks like its going to be a book to be proud of in the years to come. I can't wait to start putting pictures and journaling it is going to be a great book.

been a while

havent been here in a while, been very busy scrapping and other things, well first off I have decided to join Ali Edwards in her December Daily challange I have to make or find a album that will have at least 25 pages or more number them all 1 - 25 and wait for december to roll around, when it dose I will post a picture and journaling for every day in December, that should be one pretty mean book

This is Ali Edwards book for 2008 its suppose to be about texture, telling your christmas 2008 story about being there in the moment and being able to document the here and now when it happens. If I can keep up this will be a very special book for my family. Wish me luck I'm gonna work one it once I get from under this dryer.

Used my new system

I finished a new book tonight and I am very proud, I gashed a big hole in my finger trying to open some glue so I could fix my liquid chalk so I could finish this book but I finally finished it and I'm very proud, its called pieces of home just some pictures and journaling about the bits and pieces of my house that make it my home.

page one and two tell about the bookand it goes on about my little things but the point I was trying to make is that when I decided to make this book it was just a thought and I looked into my little file of all about me pictures and pull the pictures that I wanted to use right out, it was so easy I didnt spend three weeks looking for the pictures and loose intrest after a week, I pulled them out and took pictures of what I didnt have that I wanted and bam here is the book I'm so proud.

did a couple of layouts to and they were easy to just looked throu my photo albums and pulled out the pages and wham put the pages together (I must say I scrap lifted them from Becky's 2nd book) that was easy too I love those books.

this is the second page I will stich them together one day to tired tonight but I really did want to post them. o.k I will post some more tomorrow. good night for now

GREAT WOLF LODGE

Well we went and ohhhhh what a place it was, I loved it I have never seen anything like it an indoor water park, spa, game room, it was all so nice I would like to go here every year I must start saving my money now.

our room was on the fourth floor, and a long walk away from the water park (note to self next year make sure you get a room a little closer to the water park) but that aside the room was just what I saw on line when I made my reservations. I loved the balcony I spent a lot of time out there just watching things move around me

I have never seen a indoor water park before this was turly amazing ther was water spriting out of every open hole a big bucket that filled up and dumped water on any one that was standing there, if your not here to get wet this is not the place to be.

this is the spa and I treated myself and my oldest daughter to a massage, our first and oh it felt sooooo good this is something I have to treat myself more often I just felt so good so relaxed everyone should have at least one in their lifetime.

the girls loved the water they stayed in there as long as they could, every day we were there I had to pry them out the water to eat

all in all it was a beautful trip and I am gonna take another as soon as my money is right.
