Memorial Day

Today I am grateful for the men and women who have sacrificed so much to ensure my freedom. God Bless the USA!

Garage Sale

Just a quick hello between head-bobbing in the recliner and letting the dogs out....I am whooped! The good news....the garage sale netted about $630 total between us all. The remainder of my stuff was dropped off at Goodwill this afternoon. I am so excited that I can now use some fun money for WHATEVER I WANT. I have a bad habit of giving all my money I receive as gifts...to bills! I am just too responsible I guess, but this time IT'S ALL MINE! hee hee I don't miss a thing in the stash that was in the sale. Not a thing. Hallelujah!...it's gone!!

Had a bit of a scare last night with my Grandma going via squad to the ER. Thankfully, it was just a bad case of vertigo/vomiting. She was treated and sent home. Vertigo comes out of nowhere and makes you feel like you've been hit by a truck or as Kevin said "It's like you're on a ride spinning around that you can't get off." Ugh. I am not one for amusement park rides, so I hope I NEVER get vertigo. She is super tired today, but thank goodness she's better.

I'll be back on Monday with something crafty. I gotta rest now. *snore*

Non-Crafty Update

Just a quick hello. I am preparing for a garage sale this weekend, so blogging and whatnot is pushed to the side for a bit. On Memorial Day, I hope to take pics and upload some goodies to show you. Thanks for your patience...yet again. Once I cleaned the disaster off my craft table, I realized I have SEVERAL pages I haven't shown you.

On a weird side note: I seriously have no idea just how many people are really interested in my blog. I see the counter on the bottom left increasing slowly, but that might be from repeat visitors. I hope that those of you who are faithful in reading do enjoy this blog. I often wonder if I should just hang up my blogger hat and move on to something different. I don't really find the time anymore to keep it updated as well as some people might expect. Any feedback? Keep it or move on?

Weight Progress: I had skipped Weight Watchers last week, but did go this past Monday. I was up .6 of a pound and kind of felt defeated in a way. Did I deserve a loss? No. Did I write down foods and count points? No. So, I have to get back on track, etc. etc. etc. I am still down 33.2, so I still feel a bit accomplished. I just have to get over this hump, get back to tracking my foods and move this body more. I went to Zumba tonight and quite frankly, I am whooped! I guess I've just had a lot on my mind, etc. So many people on my prayer list are dealing with some serious things and I just tend to internalize it...and eat. So, gotta Let Go and Let God and move forward.

On a funny note: I have bought three of the Glade Sense 'n Scent motion-activated fragrance things. One is in the kitchen, one is in the bathroom and the last one in the basement. Kevin just came up from the basement, where one had squirted. "fire one" Then, he came in the bathroom to brush his teeth and the second one squirted. "fire two" Then, he went in the kitchen and the last one squirted. "fire three" They do kind of surprise us, but it's kinda funny. I like the apple cinnamon ones better than the fresh linen one. It is so strong. Ok, night night.

A cute card using the Top Note die. Remember I showed you two cards last week that I made using this die? I love this shape! Also, the white gel pen adds some real pizzazz! Do you notice that the word pizzazz contains the word pizza? Oh brother, now I'm hungry. ha

So Sorry

Such a sweet, simple card. To color the foliage/flowers, we used a marker and a blender pen. First, color half the leaves with the marker. Second, grab some color from the brush tip of the marker onto your blender pen. Then, color the remaining leaves with the blender pen. You'll get a shade lighter than the full marker. Neat! Such an easy to get two colors without using two colored markers. I always learn neat tips from Holly!

Aloha

Love those teeny weeny stamps. Did you know there is a punch trio that you can buy to punch out those shapes? Cute!

Sweet Celebration

This is my favorite one! Notice the woodgrain background stamp. It is totally on my wish list! Love the color combo of this one!
