And so it begins . . . .

So I guess this confirms my last blog entry. I'm terrible! There's a lot going on in my life but not much that I think is worth sharing. For instance, you can't possibly be interested in our heater going out, or my root canal, broken tooth and subsequent crown.

Christmas was just as wonderful as always. Baby Boy came home for a couple of days and for the first time ever, did all his own shopping this year! What a pleasant surprise and I must stay, he rocked the gifts for everyone. The night before New Year's Eve, my sweetie and I celebrated 20 years since the night we met. The New Year's Eve celebration was quite, just me and my sweetie.

The good news is that now I can share with you some of the projects I did before Christmas as gifts. I'm still lovin' my Cricut and Make The Cut!

I'm a bad blogger.

I really am. I intend to post more often but I get busy. And then I'm torn between wanting to post about what I've been working on and not wanting to bore you to tears. I just don't think the things I do in my daily life are that interesting. See, my days are usually filled with job hunting, errands, visiting my grandmother, and exercising mixed with computer time on various message boards and Facebook. Sounds thrilling, huh?

Right now, I'm working on Christmas presents. Today, I played with MTC for a while and got some artwork ready. As always, click on the image to enlarge. I'll share the files here for anyone who's interested.

Busy, busy, busy!

I have been a busy little bee for the last couple of weeks.  I did my August retreat at Rockin' R, fantastic, as always!  Thanks Rena. 

I've also been working on a card swap coming up at the end of September as well as my Mom's birthday.  Mom loves to send cards to her friends and she loves sending hand made cards.  To hear her tell it, you know you sent a great card to someone when they send you back a thank you note for your card!  My biggest fan.  What can I say.  She's my Mom.  :o) 

As if that wasn't enough motivation, my friend Joanie started a new blog and Stampin' Up business.  She's posting a daily blog entry with TONS of wonderful ideas, projects, hints, tips and videos.  If you haven't seen it yet, you MUST go visit Joan's Daily Stampede.  I get so much inspiration from her and I shamelessly C.A.S.E. (Copy And Share Everything) her ideas.  Visit her blog and leave her a message.  Trust me.  You won't be sorry.  You WILL be enabled and you might even start searching for your local SU demonstrator to place an order of your own.  Don't say I didn't warn you.  :o)

So, here are some of the things I've been working on (click on photo to enlarge):
