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!

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!

me

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!

Two posts in one day. amazing huh?

so not to push this again but if y'all want to join a monthly scrap kit club this company is one of the best! I love their unique products and fun embelies that come with every kit. I have only been designing for them for a short time, but EVERY kit I have gotten in the mail has inspired me beyond belief!! December's is going to be NO exception!! Check out what I have coming!!

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 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

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.

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!

 

Morning!!

I am feeling so much better its unbelievable!! Gotta love drugs!!

I got two pages done the other night. One for a calendar swap I am in and another of my little brother and his sweet wife. I have so many layouts and projects I have done that I want to share just haven't had time to scan or take pics of them. Hopefully I can do that soon!

My friend has a blog!! Well not only is she a friend but she is also a client!! She is such a cutie patutie and so is her family!! Go take a look!!

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!!???
