last

Well here it is. The last day of 2007, and I haven't even had the chance to blog about Christmas. That will be coming...at least pictures any way. Had a good one, sorry its over. Its time to move forward into the new year and tax season. I know its a bad word for a lot of you, but not for me. See tax season for me is fantastic. Nothing like being and unmarried head of the household with all the CREDITS!! I can finally get the bookshelves for the books in boxes on my bedroom floor. It will be nice to be completely unpacked. Then I will work on my closet. I need organization BAD. its so big so everything is just all jumbled up together. Getting that done will make my morning routine easier!! lol..



I hope everyone has a great new year and maybe tomorrow I can think straight long enough to post about Christmas!!



HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

18w



Today was spent proofing their pics so they could have them and then scrapping and making dinner. I needed to get done with the K n' K kit so thats pretty much what I used today. But it was nice I had the perfect pics to go with the paper!!

fun, shopping, lights, and a contest!

so Saturday was a perfect day! We got up early went out and got almost ALL of our Christmas shopping done!! So excited to have almost EVERYTHING done this early!! I even got a bunch wrapped last night! I just have the boys to do and a few handmade ones to finish up and I am DONE!! YEAH!!! After a wonderful morning of shopping and traffic we headed to a new restaurant in town. Its call Franco's Italian Pizzeria. Its on first street for all of you local. Its just one building e of bubba's BBQ. FANTASTIC pizza! The crust is PERFECT. CHEAP too! we had a medium which was HUGE for 11 bucks. They have a spot where you can see them throw your pizza in the air!! The kids loved it and whats great is that its family owned and run so they have their kids in there and family. It felt really homey and comfortable! Any one local should check it out! So here come the contest! the first person locally who goes into Franco's and scans their receipt and emails it to me will get a large goodie bag from me!! So go take your family out and enjoy a good meal and get something from me also!!



I got some really cool lights while out. They are little balls and are sooo bright. I put them up last night with some garland across a plant shelf I have and they looked so cute till about an hour later when half of them were not on! The box even said if one goes out they all stay on!! I have to get up on the stool and see whats going! makes me mad. They were 9 bucks! they SHOULD work don't ya think??



Me and the boys are going to make ginger bread men and sugar cookies today!! should be a blast!! have a good one y'all!!

Twiterpation

I love the the fact that my oldest son feels so comfortable with me that he will let me read his love letters. He received a letter from a girl he has been engaged to since they were three. We all love her and know her family now because of their ..... um.... friend ship. If they grew up and actually married I would be thrilled. Course that is a LONG way away. Christopher has always included her in his future plans though. When he is done with college and when she only has one year left of college they will get married. I will be aloud to babysit when they go on 'dates' after they have kids. He told me once when he sees her he gets all tingly inside and feels like he can't breath. Dang if I didn't feel that way when I met his father.



Back to the letter though. We haven't had much contact with her lately because we have just been so busy with work and family stuff that our get togethers really haven't happened. You know going to the movies, going to pizza. The letter contains some heartfelt concern (on her part) that he has found another girlfriend. That is NOT the case and he told me so. She made him a necklace that is one of those break apart ones that says Best Friends. Well she said it should say boy friend and girl friend but that is not the point. The point is that these two kids actually think about each other when they are apart. What ten year old thinks past the end of his nose? (is that the right phrase here?) I wish that my son could have this forever, not the relationship necessary but the optimism of the whole package, the college, career, and loving family. He deserves it. We all do. I just wonder if the package will be with her......guess we have to wait 20 years to find out......

still full

of crap that is. Lol...just kidding. Still full with turkey! I had a fantastic Thanksgiving, but haven't done to much outside the house this weekend! Completed a FULL rag quilt yesterday, cleaned house today, and finished up my projects for KNK, while watching sappy girl movies!



Img_0789 Img_0787 Untitled1 How_old_hidden_journaling_inside_fi



I have a few more quick tags and a card I did too. Not too keen on the how old layout but its done and it has hidden journaling in the cute file folder. Its actually a picture of my sis on Santa's lap. I have the original. Not sure why? So I scanned it and fixed a couple scratches and the color and printed it out. I loved the hopscotch paper (the lace number cs) from Ki! wish I could have figured out a cooler way to use it!!



Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

the tree is up~

We usually do our Christmas decorations the weekend after thanksgiving. Well this year my kids will be at their dads so we just decided to do it this weekend!! after several trips to walmart to get my NEW freaking vacuum working (yeah later post on that) we came home and got to work!! the boys really took over the tree this year. They put it up and Chris did most of the lights with my help and were so fast putting the ornaments on! They are really proud of their work and it looks great!! The tree looks so small in my new house!! We put it in the living room that doesn't have much furniture so Its just a tree room right now!! lol. I will put up my houses this weekend while the boys are gone!

Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat

Me and my family took a little drive last night to see my cousin in her last production of her high school Joseph01_2 career. This is the fourth play I have gone to see and it was fantastic. The talent this one little high school has is amazing. They did Joseph and the AManzingldafkja;s........... well you read the title. My kids and I had so much fun and I even remembered to bring my camera!! My cousin is the one shakin her groove thing in the blue poodle skirt!!

projects and christmas

Work_tree so as the days get closer to Christmas my urge to decorate is increasing. I have yet to break out the Christmas decorations at home but we did break them out at the office. The other lady in the office is a Christmas freak and has had her TREES (yes many many many trees) up at her house for week so she HAD to do the work one already. I like it . Its right by my desk and it makes me feel all festive. We need more to it though. We only just added the ribbon and some picks yesterday. I want to find some poinsettias in the blue color to add more dimension to it.



We are planning on doing some Christmas shopping this Saturday. Get some of the early gifts we need out of the way. No complaints here. I love to Christmas shop!!











Here is a layout I have done recently. Sorry for the bad pic. Didn't have time to scan it...its simple but done.



Mat_and_t



This is a tin I got for Queen of the month at KNK. I used scraps from November's kit to make a mini album in it. The tin is magnetic and i put it on my fridge!

missed almost all but TWO of these episodes on sci fi this season. I was in the middle of moving and living in my fathers motorhome..sniff....



This ones JUST for you ma!!!

I dont think I have ever been this sick...

I have been so sick. I have had a cold for two weeks now. I was getting better and then BAM! Sunday morning I felt like crap. I had a shoot to go to and I don't think that helped either. Being out in the cold and yucky. I could barely get out of bed and finally went to the Dr yesterday. I haven't been to the Dr (except for maternity) since I was 19! I don't do Dr's. they may tell me somethings wrong!! Giggle. Well I do have something wrong. I horrible sinus infection, and bronchitis. BAD. I am on some major antibiotics and after filling the prescription yesterday I went home to bed. I laid on the couch ALL day!! The only thing i did till the kids got home from school was start the dishwasher. I feel SO much better today. I still can't talk. I have NO voice. It's amazing what antibiotics can do!! I actually woke up this morning feeling refreshed and didn't get dizzy in the shower!! lol....So I am back at work. not liking it but I am here! LOL



How are you all feeling!!???

I'm in Loooooouuuuuuuve......

Carmel_apple_spice_2  Run do not walk to you nearest starbucks on the corner and order a tall Carmel apple spice. OMG....its almost like .......... well you know. I am soooo in love with this drink!! Gave me warm and fuzzies....just perfect for the cold rainy day like it was today!



For about a week now I have been craving my moms hot cider she brews in her crock pot. We used to always have it about this time of year. Along with molasses cookies shaped like Winnie the pooh. Coolest cookie cutter ever I tell ya. Well anyway. I just really wanted some today after work so we were going to head to albertson's to get the ingredients and on the way there I remembered that someone had told me about some cider drink at starbucks. Me and Taylor are the only ones in the family who like cider so I thought 'might as well just get a couple cups and call it good'. Little did I know that the addictive flavor of this particular drink will now have me going back again and again. As a matter of fact I think after the boys are done carving their pumpkins we might take a trip to get some more....



I love the fall....

It is one of my most favorite times of year. I am not a cold person but don't like hot either. Fall seems to be just right. However in Idaho Fall only really lasts a week or two, if we are lucky. Right now the rain is coming down and its cold and yucky. I have a cold and feel yucky. My oldest got sick last week and I ended up keeping him home Friday and not venturing out much at all this weekend because I got sick also. I finished up and entire rag quilt though!! My first one! LOVE how it turned out! I would show a pic but I am at work and didn't bring my camera. I have the quilt but no camera...go figure.



Tomorrow is Halloween. Yippee. Never have been one for Halloween. Sure we go trick or treating and carve pumpkins, but I don't go all out and spooky. A few houses down the street they have grave stones and spider webs and the like and my kids think its all cool, but I just don't. I am MUCH more into thanksgiving and Christmas. So the boys are excited to trick or treat. They both have their costumes and we are going to do a short jaunt around the neighborhood. They are good with that. They enjoy it and always get just the right amount of candy. Not too much, but not too little.



I am ready to move on to the Christmas season. Never have I been this anxious! I think its the new house! I can't wait to get it all decorated!



I have two shoot this weekend and have two shoots to proof. busy busy busy time of year I tell ya!!



Hope you all have a good one!

taking time out

I have canceled 3 appointments, 2 conference calls and a meeting at the water cooler to write this entry. No not really but I am taking this few minutes that the boss is out running errands to get some info out there. I have had SEVERAL people. ( yes mom your not the only one) call or email worried about me. I have been insanely busy and have really not had much free time at all. While the busyness is great and moves me even faster toward Christmas (YEAH! My favorite time of year), all i want to do at night when the kids go to bed is crash. I don't get to however. Been busy proofing these



http://heartfelt.typepad.com/photos/nelson_jenson_knopp/



working on these for KNK, among my own stuff.



Picme3tch Picqc7kte_2



Brook_3









Plus doing calendars for a calendar swap, and 2 circle journals.



Not to mention another photo shoot to proof, a shoot tonight and keeping my house clean. And working on my yard in between rain storms. The computer just really hasn't been a priority.



I have however enjoyed my October IMMENSELY and even had a wonderful afternoon and morning with friends on Saturday that included a lovely lunch and the purchase of a CUTTLEBUG!!! YES LOIS a cuttlebug....you HAVE to get one!! I used it a lot this weekend and so glad I made the decision to get one! It uses ALL the dies i have. QC, Sizzix, sizlits all of them. It cuts like BUUTTAAAAA.



Already started Christmas shopping! I have two gifts already purchased! well one is a quilt I am working on so its not DONE technically. I did however get my little brother Matt's gift already. Go figure he'd be the easiest!! lol....NOT...kind of a lucky break on my end. So that's pretty much it in a nut shell. Next weekend is the all day crop at the Knk site. should be a ton of fun!!



Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine I am getting!! giggle!!



Oh and by the way this whole entry took me an HOUR to do because of so many interruptions. THATS why I have a hard time blogging!!  So I have to hurry quick before my sessions times out!!

catch this




CTMH

Its my month for my Close to my heart hostess club if anyone wants to order!!! ANyone??



big rest

well as the world around me sat in a snowy wonderland Saturday I chose to stay indoors. I did venture out to take the before mentioned pictures but that was IT. I did not set foot out of my house till Monday morning. As I watched the evening news that night I realized that staying in was a smart thing to do. We had fallen trees and icy streets, and closed highways. Then I read this story today. I am so glad my weekend did not go like my friend Darla's. Yikes....



my weekend was spent playing games, cleaning, doing laundry and yes scrapping....thank goodness! I am loving having my scrap space in my family room. At first I wasn't too sure but its so nice to 'be' with my kids while I work. They give me more time to do it and we actually enjoy being in the same room even if they are reading or watching TV. I spent a lot of Sunday going through my embellies and organizing them. Its nice to know what I have and where.



here are some of my recent creations!



this BOO was made using mostly mm stuff. Sorry for the yucky pic.



Boo



next one is a little mini book made to stand up on a shelf. I made it with the October kit from KNK. Had so much in it that I STILL have stuff left over to make more!! I made this for my Close to my heart club that meets once a month. We are doing silent auctions every meeting for a charity that help children. Its through CLTMH. This will be my contribution next month.



Scrapgoodies_002



Sunday night after I cleaned all my mess up and the kids had gone to bed I had some more inspiration. I did a layout of Taylor bug at the beach near my mothers house this last June. I am going to finish up the journalizing then will share it will y'all!!



A happy day to you!!

My kids are going as snowmen for Halloween....

First_snowweb Firstsnow04web_2Yep this is us right now. The boys are out sledding down our dirt pile. The dog is frolicking in the snowflakes. I went out for a few SECONDS to take pics. Now I am back in my jamies with some hot tea watching them out the window. It has been snowing since early this morning. Who knows when its going to stop. When the boys come in hopefully they will be worn out enough and cold enough to slip into sweats and curl up on the couch and watch a movie (probably white christmas) so I can get some scrapping done!! GREAT thing to do on a day like this!! Firstsnow03web                                 Oh and jules I hope you read this and can see my little wave from my little white corner of the world.....

found some time.

had a yucky, rainy, snowy day yesterday. I cleaned house and did laundry then found that the boys were itchy and ready to play but couldn't go out. We played hide and seek, and then went to see the game plan. I wasn't expecting too much out of the movie but it was actually pretty cute. The boys really enjoyed it. Afterward we went to Robert's and got a new candle warmer, then home to curl up on the couch and read. It was so yucky and cold!! Snow in September. Yuck..



.The_grad_4 Mt Genuine M_2 Love_the_little_things



Pappa and Gloria came over for brunch this morning and me and the boys played play station and pictionary then they did pearler beads while I finished some scrapping and circle journals that had to be done by Monday. Also finished a circle journal calendar that is due to go out next week. Feels good to have all that done. I also started some tags for a Christmas tag swap I am in. Also did this CUTE tag thingy for some decoration!! I will HAVE to post that too when I can.



I also.....drum roll please...........................



scanned some layouts I did at the retreat!!!

kohls....i miss my pan

80163saute So i am in Kohl's this afternoon on my lunch hour. They are having a great sale on just about everything so I went in to get the boys some warmer clothes for the fall that has 'fallen' upon us so fast. The boys are so into all this 'stuff' on their shirts and I hate it. Kohl's has 'cool' clothes that we can all compromise with. Nicer clothes at walmart prices during their sales. I have yet to wash a shirt from Kohl's and have it fall apart! Plus huh? So any way onto the pan.



As I finished up on the boy's shopping I hopped on over to the kitchen area and found a fantastic 12 inch skillet and immediately wanted it. I have never bought a new pan. I have farberware hand me downs that are not to bad, but this is one of those cool big ones like you see all the chefs use on top chef and the food channel. I KNOW it will make my food taste JUST like theirs. So I have to have it you see. Well they had it priced clear down to 40 bucks!! It normally sells for 70, the cute little sign above it says so. Well I went to grab it and noticed the price tag on the lid said $245.00. Um WTH!? So after much searching I finally find a Kohl's employee to help me. I tell her I want 'this' pot for this price (see my chubby finger pointing to the 39.99?)



she said, 'oh, we don't sell that by itself. That price is for the WHOLE set."



"Oh yes you do" I say. "It says right here (still pointing with my chubby finger), I just want this one."



she says, "let me go see if I have one in the back. did you not see another one out?"



"No, thats why I found you" i say.



She runs to the back and comes back 10 minutes later to tell me they don't have any.



"can I just have this one here then? With the correct price?" I ask.



"well thats our display.....its not for sale...."



ugh....i told her fine I will just walk next door and get one at bed bath and beyond. I didn't but she doesn't need to know that....

One of 'those'

I was informed yesterday that I had become one of 'those' type of people. The ones that start a blog, do really well for awhile then let it go. Well here I am, telling you I am not one of 'those' type of people. I am actually one of those 'other' type of people. the type of person who has suddenly found them selves happy to be cleaning, tidying and being with my family. I am one of those who has been busy enough at work that I rarely have free time to 'surf the net'. today is the exception. I am thankfully all alone. Both men are gone and I have had 3 phone calls looking for OTHER agents. Ones not even in this office. Easy ones really easy. I have a few things I need to do but other than that this is what I call a 'slow' day. And its Thursday...the day before Friday. Friday is pizza and movie night in my house. With my scrap area now in my family room maybe my kids will allow me to scrap while we watch...lol. Have lots of stuff I want to do. I need to finish a circle journal for kit and kaboodles, start a calendar circle journal with a group of friends and family and play some more with my KNK October kit. I ALSO want to make this cool little project that I am doing for my card club meeting next week. I want to get that done this weekend also. Gotta clean first, finish laundry and start the edging around some flour beds in the yard, and clean up the yard a bit.



I use netflix...do you? Well you know, I shouldn't say I USE netflix. i have had the SAME three movies since June. With the move and all- they got packed and we only watched one of them so far. I have them unpacked and ready to send. I don't even want to watch them! Those were the most expensive three movies I have ever rented. I didn't really think i would have them this long. I didn't want to send them back just to receive three more movies while living in my dad's motor home while the house was being done. I wanted them somewhere safe so I wouldn't loose them...dang! Three months later and I STILL have them.. lol...better shake a leg huh?



So my friend Heather posted a really nice thing about me on her blog. Cept she posted my least favorite pic. Its a picture of her and her hubby i recently took just for fun, because I could. If you wanna c go visit her blog....and tell her to take it down...giggle....



I have layouts I want to scan and have been asked to by several people but just keep forgetting. I was proofing pics last night and it just slipped my mind...They are coming honest. maybe tonight.



this is a photo i took here at work of a friends grand daughter. she is so cute!! even with her snotty nose!

Fast forward.

My life seems to be in a constant state of run lately. Loving it, enjoying it and even pushing it faster!! lol...



I have thought of so many things to blog about but then the opportunity to write about them comes and goes. I finally have Internet at home so that will help! I have several pictures on my powershot of my new home but just don't have time to pull them off this morning. I promise to do that soon...giggle.



Saturday we had a great day of wallpapering the office and eating lunch with a friend. We had a great time and the job came out pretty nice. After that I did a quick visit with my friend Darla who just had surgery. She is doing well and hopefully she is getting enough rest. That night was a local High Schools homecoming dance and my friend Heather's daughter was going and she asked if I would come take pics! Of COURSE!! lol. Her daughter was so beautiful in a hot pink dress. Gorgeous hair and makeup....Here are a few!!

fuzzy....

ack...i am so tired and worn out!! Had a GREAT three day weekend in my house though! My brother and sis in law came to visit and my bro built my front porch for me at HALF the cost I thought it would be!! YEAH!! Thanks mike and jen!! Planted three bushes, got my dog back, unpacked most of my scrap stuff and organized it, and put together ONE part of my new entertainment center with the help of my brother. I love my new house!!!



It was really hard to get my kids moving this morning, heck it was hard to get ME moving this morning. All we want to do is stay home!! We had to go to pet smart yesterday for dog food and a new doggie bed, and the boys just begged me to not go so we could stay home!! They just Love it there!! Its so nice to feel this way! Instead of DREADING the drive home wishing you didn't have to be there? Such a different feeling!



I do have more pics to share but they are in my camera at home. I have my computer set up but not the Internet yet...that reminds me gotta call to get that set up!!



Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!

Ok...breath....just breath....

Phew ok as I said before I am finally in my house. A bunch of my friends came over Monday after I got the keys and had me completely moved in by 9 pm!! How grateful I am for such GREAT friends. Thank you Heather, Blake, Glen and Jakey poo!! You guys are life savers!! I owe you big time....



I did a little unpacking Tuesday, but I had to work all day so i Only had a few hours at night. Wednesday I got off half day at work because the dish network guy had to come out so I unpacked while waiting for him, and while he was there. So nice to have my DVR back!! lol...



My kitchen is done. I think I have one more box left but I can't find it so I am going to move on to my closet, then to the family room and so on. I am ordering books shelves from Ikea because I have so many books and want to display them nicely. Can't unpack those till I get them! Same with an entertainment center. Right now the TV is on my coffee table. Haven't even touched my scrap supplies....ugh...



So here are a few pics from around the house!

The view to my front door...All books....



House_bedroom



Kind of a random pic of my bedroom. So happy with my space in there. My old bedroom was so tiny it was hard to make my bed!! Only had about 2 feet clearance around the whole bed. This room is MUCH bigger....I plan on eventually putting a comfy (put your feet up) kinda chair right here.

My bathroom, not a big view but it is huge!!! I LOVE my bathroom...my tub is FABULOUS!!! Anyone want to come try it??
