Free Card


Go here to get a free absolutely beautiful card from the USPS and HBO. It is in reference to the new mini series on HBO called John Adams. Apparently he and his wife wrote over 1,100 letters to one another. Such a beautiful love story! Wish we had HBO so we could see it! The card shown above is one of six options. Go and look at how beautiful they are and choose one to have sent to yourself to mail off to a friend or loved one. You can also personalize them and add photos! Have fun!

Look at these cute Easter Spring Kits just released by Topline Creations. If you have kids coming round during Easter or Spring festivities why not get some of these kits so you are well prepared when they complain they are bored. Or if you visit your relatives or friends your chocolate gifts will look much better with your own creations.

Ok..so I am copying Ree but hey..it is a fun way to get to see what you are all thinking out there in the world! I think this photo needs a name.

Kylie was having a blast "eating" her yogurt. So what do you think is going through her head? What in the world could this photo be named? I am looking for a short title..not a long description. For your hard work one winner will be chosen from the lot tomorrow at 6pm. I am giving more than 24 hours for this because I want you all to go and tell your friends about this and have them get in on it too. The prize isn't huge but it is sure a great item for the scrapbooker out there!

3. He now loves broccoli.
4. He will eat ramen noodles every day.
5. He says "I don't know" more than any other person I have ever met in my life!
6. He hangs out with the girls around our home more than the boys..lol..especially since there are hardly any boys around here.

Melody (3 years old) -
1. She loves to do crafts.
2. She loves to dance.
3. She won't eat much of anything....just cheese, waffles, pancakes, toast, bread with butter..basically carbs.
4. She won't even drink juice any longer. Only water!
5. She loves to play on her v-tech nitro notebook.
6. She doesn't like to pick up after herself and would rather that someone else do it for her. (such a princess!)

Kylie (1 year old) -
1. She loves to play with her food.
2. She enjoys playing with her baby doll and refuses to go to bed without her.
3. She will eat just about anything...but really loves broccoli, yogurt, bananas and spanish rice.

6. She is talking like crazy and saying about 10 new words a day!

Now it is your turn: Nan, Maresi, Kim and Lynn. (You are the only ones I know with kids!)

I have been tagged...

Lynn tagged me so lets see what I have to do:

The rules are to link the person who sent this and leave a comment on their blog so their readers can visit yours. Post the rules on your blog. Share 7 strange/weird facts about yourself. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and link their blog. Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Ok..so 7 strange things about me..hmmm...lets think....

1. I HATE socks. I will wear slip on shoes year round as long as the snow isn't too deep..and even then I wear shoes that I can take off as soon as I get to where I am going.

2. I write lists for EVERYTHING. But I never, ever seem to complete each item on my lists.

3. I am always looking for ways to make money.

4. I can sometimes feel my father's presence...he got into a car accident on February 29, 2000 and died March 24th, 2000.

5. I love sappy movies and I cry during each and every one. (think Hallmark channel)

6. I grew my hair out long so I could do more with it but I basically put it up with clips or scrunchies or a barrette all the time. I never leave it down.

7. I wear the same size shoes as my 11 year old son. (Ladies size 10, Mens 8)

Now...I tag Nan, Kim, Maresi, Elena and Amy. (Sorry..I don't really know many more bloggers..lol.

Give-a-way

Keep an eye out..later today I will be posting a give-a-way. I am expecting you to all share this news with all of your friends! So that we have more than two people to pick from for the winner! :)

First I have to do a few tags I have gotten lately..then I will post the give-a-way..so check back later today.

Eclipse - Part 2

More photos...the last few taken right as it was about to be a total eclipse. Once it got that far it was really hard to get some good photos with my camera. But you can still see the glow a bit. :)

Eclipse

Photos of the Eclipse. The first I "borrowed" from someone off the computer..lol. But the rest are all mine. My camera only zooms in so far but I think I got atleast a few somewhat good shots.

Busy, Busy, Busy... ****UPDATE****

**** UPDATE**** So I just found out that the hall that the VFW was so kind to donate is not going to be ready on time...not till about the end of May..so the event will have to be pushed off till mid June. I am not too happy about this but going to still do my best to make this happen and happen with all the support I can get! If you are still interested in becoming an Angel please check out http://www.soldiersangels.org/. The VFW is building this new hall and adding onto their building so I am happy to be able to use a brand new space in town that should be perfect for this event. Please continue to pray for our soldiers. God Bless! ****
.
Ok..so I am just super busy now and haven't been paying much attention to my blog. Sorry about that people..but I have important business to take care of..I am in charge of raising $3,000 to get phone cards for our Soldiers! Want to make a donation? Email me or leave a message with your email. Want to help out? Give me an extra 10 hours a day!
.
I am working on a fundraiser with http://www.scrappingforsoldiers.com/ to help raise enough money to pay for phone cards for my soldiers entire unit! I support a soldier who is in Mozul, Iraq right now! He is there with 300 men and women and I want to earn enough to get a phone card in each of their hands! You can become a supporter of a soldier yourself by visiting http://www.soldiersangels.org/ for more information. Scrapping for Soldiers is going to be a fun day of food, scrapping and prizes!
If you live in the area email me for sign up info and I will forward the registration paperwork.
.
It is going to be held at the lovely VFW here in W (if you know me you know where I am talking about!) which has been donated by the VFW for free so we can earn even more for not paying for the space. April 26th, 9am till 9pm. $35 for the day. Come one, come all! Goody bags and silent auction included.
.
Check out the websites and contact me for more info!
.
Thanks to TLC (Top Line Creations) for starting such an event for our Soldiers..who do more for us than anyone else in the world. They give up time with their families, children and life in general to help keep us safe.
I can never thank them enough.

Crazy Kiddos....

Thursday, February 7, 2008

UGH!

Well apparently I am using all of my storage space for my photos. I was going to upload a ton of photos tonight but I can't! My picasa web albums is linked to my blogger page and because I have over 10,000 photos saved in there I can't upload anymore here until I pay to expand my photo storage. UGH! It seems that everyone needs our money RIGHT NOW! I can't wait till we can file our taxes and pay off a bunch of bills and pay down some of our debt. Life will be so much easier once that happens. Living paycheck to paycheck really stinks.

I do know that Peter is getting more overtime starting this week so hopefully that will keep up for a bit and we can play catch up on things. Wish us luck with that!

Love you all...keep checking in. I will still try to update when I can but won't be able to post anymore photos until I upgrade. Sorry!

On a side note: Kylie now says her own name and it is just the most adorable sound you can ever hear. I was trying to record her tonight with my digital camera but she wanted nothing to do with it. Maybe tomorrow.

Can we say busy, busy, busy???

I have signed up to be a rep. for yet another company. Yes I know...what was I thinking but I love it! Top Line Creations is a great little scrapbooking company and you can sign up for only $20! I thought it was worth it since I received a coupon for $20 in product plus another one for 10% off an order within the first 90 days. Check out the Shape Upz..one of the great new products that just came out on February 1st!


Visit my website to check out the company or what it has to offer.
