Well, yesterday I crafted most of the day - WOO HOO. Then I decided to join in on the fun of the Close To My Heart (CTMH) Color Dare for this week. I enjoyed putting together a "family" page using the colors required. I like the way it turned out. NOW, I have to figure out how to link it to the CTMH Color Dare blog. I wish I knew someone who could help me with blogging...

It took me quite awhile to add a link to my CTMH website - which I did last week - but I forgot what I did!  I hate when that happens. But now, you can read this and then shop!!

Here is my Color Dare artwork:

  A little bling and lots of LOVE
"FAMILY" is highlighted on the CTMH word search paper. Colors are Fern, Sapphire, Lemon and Daisy White. The photo is from December 2010 and includes my Mom & Dad, my 2 sons and my 3 grandsons.

I also worked on our monthly workshop scrapbook pages: Dreamin' Big. I love the bugs!!  Especially since I have 3 Grandsons. It is perfect for them. I will finish today and post all 6 or 8 pages tomorrow.

My friends Anne and Debbie are coming by today to work on their Wreaths. Can't wait to see how theirs turn out!

Happy Scrapping,

Hello again,
I have not done any crafting today. I was supposed to update some HOA documents and didn't do that either. I didn't finish the laundry load I was supposed to finish. Actually, I don't know what I did all day. Oh, we did order Pizza Hut and so I had my favorite personal pan pizza. I ordered 2 and a medium pizza for Tom. We were supposed to split the second personal pan - but he ate the whole thing! I couldn't believe it. Now he has part of the medium pizza left and I don't have anything...woe is me.

I read one of my favorite bloggers today - she does recipes, which aren't my favorite, but her blog is so funny. Today she talked about NOT closing cabinet doors & drawers when she is busily baking or cooking. Her husband comes home and counts each drawer or door as he closes them. Even though she has hurt herself numerous times, she still does it. I laugh out loud when I read her blog. Other than Close To My Heart, I don't really follow any other blogs...

I was able to talk to both Ethan and Seth last night. Ethan, at 10, doesn't talk much. He probably has better things to do. BUT, my little Seth is a talker. He won't stop. If I ask him what he did today, he will tell me everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!!  Seriously, he told me what he does from the time he gets to school until he leaves for the day. He told me all the things he learned also...what he is studying and his favorite subjects. What a doll-baby!

Bonus - I got to see Tristan - the middle Grandson. I finally dropped off my D-I-L's Christmas gift and got to give my T a big hug and kiss. We didn't have much time to talk, but it's ok. Vanesa loved her gift, T liked his new kitten ornament (they got a new kitty) and Stuart liked his statuette of the UCF stadium. (Thanks, Peggy!!)

It's Thursday night and I don't watch any TV on Thursdays. I guess I'd better get busy with my HOA documents.

Talk to you soon. It's time for my favorite snack - iced mild and a nutty bar!! YUM, YUM

End of February is coming up soon

WOW - how cool. I haven't been blogging too often because I have to keep up the FB page, the emails, my events and trying to do my Newsletter. Regarding the Newsletter, I think I will do it every other month. Regarding this blog, I have been trying to set up the "shop with me" link to my website and I couldn't figure it out. My computer specialist son, Stuart, couldn't help because he's been so busy and he doesn't know that much about blogging. But TODAY I figured it out and it actually worked!  Now, I'm excited. So, if you'd like to shop for anything you see on my blog or want to look at new products, etc...the hyperlink works.  YEAH

We have had a busy month. Tom had back surgery at the end of January and instead of recuperating like he should, I think he is overdoing it a bit. Time will tell...

For a short month, February always takes more time than other months. Must be in my head only though, because it really doesn't have more days, they are just slowly passing.  Even so, I didn't get my so-called monthly Newsletter done - so I'm changing it to every other month. I need to use my new Close To My Heart Planner to plan and set deadlines. It's not as if I watch a lot of TV or anything either. I don't know what I do all day, hmmm,  I need to think more about this and see what changes I need to make regarding my schedule.

2 of my grandsons have birthdays coming up - March 10th and 14th - brothers, 5 years apart. So we usually celebrate them together.  I'm hoping we go bowling this year. Many of us bowl and it is so much fun. I haven't bowled in awhile, but I'm sure I could still throw it down and hit a few pins...LOL

I have to check the camera to see if I have any photos to share of our artwork.  BUT - I hope some of you will post your work here on the blog. Also, comments are welcome and encouraged anytime. 

Don't forget we have an open crop this Saturday from 11 am until 9 or 10. I'm looking forward to having some new croppers. If not this Saturday, maybe next month.

There is still time to get in on the February special, if you've ever thought about joining my team, now is the time. You only have to host a party and any rewards can be put towards your Kit.

The kit we are working with at the next Workshop is Dreamin' Big:

Here are a few cards that I'm in the process of making. I have to wait for glitter and Liquid Glass to dry before I can finish.

Thanks for visiting. See you again soon on the internet.
