Good-bye Ms Blue

Ms Blue has gone on to greener (or bluer) pastures and is with a new family now. I hope she does well and we will miss her. Pretty sad to see her go, but all is well in the end.

So after a really long week at work today is my day to kick back and play. Went over to Jan's to pick up my StampinUp order and then the usual Starbuck's. From there it was to Mystic Paper so I could drop off my ATC swap and Bingo card swap. Mike Putman had left my skeleton package that I had won from his Monday blog giveaway. I was thrilled with all of the skeletons in it. Have plans for these guys

I had ordered lots of new trims from Kim's Etsy and she was nice enough to deliver them to me. Little Aliya gave both Colleen and I goodie bags with some of her original art work and lots of goodies from her Mom's stash. She was so cute delivering them to us. She had them in a white bag with tissue tied with a ribbon. It was just too cute. Kim has some really neat black and white trims in her Etsy check them out!!

Did a wee bit of shopping and picked up a few more Halloween goodies, Tim Holtz new stamps and some paper. I have used a lot of my Graphics 45 so needed to replenish it

And a pic of my new cell phone. Nothing fancy just a plain simple phone unlike 2 people I know who have the new Iphones. all I can say is boys and their toys. Actually they are having fun with them

So tomorrow it is out to the yard for me to accomplish a lot of clean up

So many goodies. How cute is sweet Aliya! LOVE Kim's new trims -- just in time for Halloween. I have some on the way (although I won't get the hand-delivery!). . .

Hugs, Kim

The Stockings Were Hung

I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
