Tagged!

Ok...I've been tagged multiple times by my blogging buddies and I've seriously slacked on posting! Forgive me, please! Let's see I have to share seven things about myself that you may not know...well here goes:



1. I've never been in a car accident...and praying that I never am!

2. I have never broken a bone...not one.

3. I got my Masters in Teaching and by the time I was done with the program and student teaching I figured out that I didn't want to teach in a classroom setting! I really believe that I will use what I learned in my Master's program to homeschool Bella and any others that come along.

4. I collect dolls and sew clothes with my mother. My mom has been collecting dolls since I was born and I grew up with them around and naturally got into it to.

5. I love getting pedicures...I would go every week if I could! But I limit it to mainly spring and summer time and even then its about every month or so.

6. I have a thing for Cherry Coke...Definitely need my caffeine!

7. My favorite color is pink! I love pink! Pink, pink, pink!!!

Cards!

I'm finally posting some cards...can you believe it?!?! I'm amazed myself *hehehehe* It felt so good to actually take the time and create a card! Recently I've not been feeling my creative for card making. I know it's one of those things that will come back as I start to create...it's just so hard to get it started!

Some of you will recognize these cards...they've already been sent and received! These colors have been floating around in my head for some time. I've been wanting to play with these pastel colors and actually see what they look like when they've been "put down" into a card. I'm pretty pleased with the results...simple, clean, fun. I think these colors remind me of a whimsical winter feel.

I've been really into Amuse images recently and these cards are made using their stamps. I did three different cards that all use the same images, cardstock and colors, but I felt like mixing it up a bit with each card so they are all a little different.

Card details:

Amuse images: Just sittin' here sentiment, Snow Angel

Marvy scalloped square punches in Giga & Mega

Pallette Noir ink, Copic markers, assorted ribbon, eyelet

These items will be sent the least expensive way possible (using USPS). If you prefer a specific delivery method, let me know in your email. Items will not be sent until payment is received.

Note: Some of the catalogs have a sticker with my name and information on it. This is easily covered up and doesn't detract from the catalog at all.

To my PIF gals...

I owe you three *you know who you are :)* a big I'm sorry. Your goodie bags have been ready for some time now, but I've been missing packing tape!!! I know that should be no excuse, but I'm going to remedy it today. Packing tape is on my list for the store today! I will be getting them in the mail on Monday. Please forgive me!

WOW!

How cool is this?!? The gals over at Queen Kat Bloggers have asked me to be a featured blogger! Big excitement!

I'm super honored that they've asked me to be a featured blogger, but can I share a little somethin' with you all? It kinda freaks me out a teeny bit....because I know that I havent' been doing the best job with keeping my blog up lately...especially in the realm on posting creations (well...that could also be due in large part to my lack of creating ANYTHING recently)...wait, I think I did take some pics of the paint cans I made for my aunt and cousin(well, I'm now calling her my cousin, she's really my cousin's SO *they've been together so long she might as well be my cousin!) Anyway, enough rambling...I'm going to try and be better about posting my creations...and actually creating! ***hehehe***

We had a great Christmas day. Family came over and we had a nice time. Jeff and I waited until the last minute to get our bird for Christmas day. We went out the Friday before looking for a bird. Jeff had always wanted to try goose. So....we ended up getting a goose and turkey! The only problem that we encountered was how to bake both of them at once! I started to peruse http://www.allrecipes.com/ *I LOVE that site!* and found a recipe for grilled turkey. We're always ones to try something new out...so the goose ended up going on the grill. It turned out really good...nice and juicy. The turkey was also good...very juicy too.

On top of being busy with Christmas preparations, I've had a nasty cold the past 2 weeks. At least that's how long I've counted in my head. It started out with a sore throat, then moved to my nose and now I'm dealing with a stuffy nose and congested chest. I'm SO ready for this to be done. I'm sure I haven't helped my healing process by going so much the last couple weeks. We've had his family over, my family, been shopping....etc, etc. It's been busy! So today I had a sick day. Jeff has the week off and I took advantage...took a nice hot bath *which felt incredible* and tried to relax.
