Sick of being sick.......

This cold/strep has run its course through my house. My husband and son have finally recovered after having it for over two weeks. My daughter is sick now with major ear infection and sinus infection. I had shots last Monday and was back in the Dr.'s office this Tuesday, by Friday it had returned with a vengence. NOW....here I sit at 1:00am posting on my blog because the Z-Pac I am on has me wired to the gills. The nonstop coughing isn't helping. I decided the best move to make was to remove myself from the bed and head to the craft room. No need in keeping hubby up my my wiggling and coughing!! Sickness please go away and never return!!!!!!!!

On to crafty info. Right now I am stalking Amazon for Becky Higgins Project Life items to return to stock. I ordered a few page protectors last week but most were out of stock. I want to purchase some of the kits also, but waiting to place one big order. I am soooo very far behind on my scrapbooking. I understand that the premise behind PL is to take pictures daily and complete your weekly life in a scrapbook, and after a year have a full year of scrapbook goodness. My take will be somewhat different. I need to go back several and I do mean several years to catch up. I will use PL to help me accomplish this. I love the whole concept behind it and can see it working for me. I am thinking I will have 2 PL projects in the works at one time. The old and the new. This should help me stay current while working on the process of catching up. If you haven't seen the concept of Project Life you can check it out on her website as well as on YouTube and amazon. I know that it has been out for some time, but our life is just calming down to the point that I can craft again. (Can you say sleepless night scrapping!) Must not have mentioned that I already suffer insomnia.

Hope your all sleeping soundly at this hour and that you and your loved ones are well. Guess I should say that I live in the South. Our Winter has been so strange. Last year was amazingly cold and we had snow. This year it has been 30/40 and rainy followed by a week of high 60's. How are you suppose to stay well when you deal with that?

Sweet Dreams

A wasted day.....well maybe not..

School was suppose to start back for me today, due to the threat of bad weather it was canceled. The kids are also out. My son is sitting in here with me on his iPod racing cars while I am updating my blog with my iPad. While I am thankful for an extra day to rest, I am ready to get back in school and get into a routine. If anyone out there is a mother who has returned to school, you know it is an adjustment for everyone. With each new semester comes a new schedule. This means getting everyone use to me coming in late (thank goodness this semester I only have one night class and the rest of the week I will be home when the kids are). Anyway, we had no bad weather. We waited alllllll day for snow that never came. A little ice on the trees, but that is melting away already. My daughter is taking advantage and sleeping in, and when she wakes we will have breakfast and just hang out the rest of the day.
Look for craft projects and videos soon. I have some things in the works. Enjoy you day....

HaPpY EaStEr!!!!

Hope everyone had a great day. We have been completely lazy today. Spent some time w/ the many critters and just plain lounged around the house.
I love Easter. It is my favorite holiday of all!! I love the colors, chicks, bunnies, and the candy....My two favoirte candies are available during this time. The top on my list are the robin eggs...YUMMY!!!
I was going to do the baskets last night, but fell asleep. I jumped up early this morning while the house was still calm and quite and fixed them up. I also made cute little cards to go with each of them. The kids were super excited when they woke. I had told them they were getting to old for Easter. (that's never gonna happen!!)   Just Noticed the card was up-side down in the picture..I don't think he noticed LOL

Enjoy the rest of your day! I hear a nap calling my name...

SPRING BREAK!!

Well, for me anyway. The kids have spring break next week. I really wish it would have fallen on the same week.. Oh well, such is life. Not gonna be much of a break though. I have Ethics, book report, and lit. to do all this week.. Yeah, I really should get off the computer.....(as my daughter would say, yeah whatever). I have a project in mind for tomorrow. I am gonna try and sneak that in between school work.. Stay tuned for that. Hope all who are on spring break has an awesome time..
Don't forget to hug your kids today and tell them you love them. You would be surprised what this will do for their day!

My hats off to ya!!!

For all of you who design blogs, I am amazed. I have worked on this blog for 3 days trying to revamp it.. I finally have it just like I want it. Ok and a big headache to add to that. I was adding a post divider and each time I would view blog, the divider would be way too long and cut off half my image. I revamped and revamped and still it would not work......HELLO!! hit save..that did the trick. If I ever decide to update my other blog, it will be so much easier. I downloaded my background image from the cutest blog on the block. All other elements of the blog were created by me in photoshop.

I did have lots of help along the way...Below is a list of sites I visited for tutorials. They were so straight forward and easy to follow. Just remember to save as you go! A lesson learned the hard way.

Check it out!!!!

This is what I have been up to for the last couple of days.... I am so excited that it is done and even more excited with how it turned out!!!!

Coming Soon!!!

I wanted to share with you my many crafty projects--Not sure if it would have blended well with all my chicken postings over at my other site (http://twocsmom.blogspot.com/). I figured the best way to do this would be create a new blog. So here it is--a posting with projects coming soon.
Some things to come- quilting, sewing, card making, scrapbooking, cricut crafts, and cake decorating..
Hope you Enjoy!!!
