Long Week!

It has been a long tiring week...

It all started late Tuesday night with a bought of the flu.  Fun times.  I didn't sleep at all.  Then it started snowing,  this was the only snow I saw all day, from my bed: 

Then it started raining, freezing rain on top of the snow and then that froze.  Can you say inches of snowcicles?

Here is a beautiful picture my friend Wendy Griffin took:

37 hours without power, while sick, not fun.  All's well that ends well though, the ice and snow are gone and so is my flu!  Yay!  Now I am going to start looking into moving to a place with year round warmth and get away from this crappy weather.  I am beginning to think four different seasons are overrated.  I would like to have a few years that are all just warm.  Hmm, I bet Maui is nice...  I'm off to buy a lotto ticket.

Wishing you a wonderful week.

Starbucks Venti Nonfat Peppermint White Mocha

My happy place!  Hoping you find yours!

I won a Scor-Buddy from Scor-Pal!

WOOHOO! I won a Scor-Buddy!

I have been wanting one of these cool things since they came out but couldn't justify buying one when I have the Scor-Pal already! The size will fit better into my space much better.  This is going to be so cool!

Colored Doodle Page for my journal

I seem to be moving right along with putting my journal together! Woohoo!

Journal Cover

I have been holding on to this glitter flower paper for about two years and I think now is the time to use it! I am hoping to do this journal without having to buy too many new things... Goodness knows my husband will LOVE that!  He thinks I am a hoarder as it is...  I'm not!

Happy 2012 and My one little word!

Wishing you all the best in 2012!

My OLW (One little word) for 2012 is CHANGE.

I know that this year is going to be FILLED with change and being the control freak that I am I want to have a say in at least some of the changes that are going to happen!  It is going to be a very bumpy year but I hope that I will come out the other side learning to be more open to change...

I signed up for a really cool online class! 

It is a year long class is with the very talented Stephanie Ackerman.
If you are on Pinterest I am sure you have seen some of her doodles.
I am really looking forward to this class to help me find ME and have some fun to!

Ready for our Prime Rib Dinner!

It happens only once a year.  I would have it more often but I am not spending $70.00 for a roast!  I am a bit frugal when it comes to some things...  (crafts not included)  :)   This makes Christmas dinner even more special I think. 
We are going up to the snow in the morning for some tubing, which should be a blast!  Hopefully nothing gets hurt on this old body of mine so that I can cook dinner when I get home.  I am already planning on laying in bed not moving much on Monday, I have a feeling that my muscles are going to be a bit annoyed with me for bouncing down hills in the cold!

I hope your holiday is everything you want it to be and more.


Merry Christmas,

2012 word for the year is...

Change.  I need to work on changing many things in my life.  Some basic like attitude, from not exercising to actually working out etc.  Some a little more complex like, to change jobs, move, go back to school.  Major decisions need to be made for health reasons so I am anticipating a year of change and I know a few others are not going to like it.  They will have to embrace change in 2012 also!

Merry Christmas,

My Version of Tim's day 4 Christmas Tag

This was a fun technique to do.  These new stains are great. I tried to do this background with just the stamp pads and a spritz of water but it just didn't do what the stains do.  So I ran to the LSS and bought some more stain. I am really starting to like the glossy accents glue also used inside the number 25. 

Thanks for looking!
