Progress ...

As I mentioned in previous posting, I am a procrastinator sometimes. Especially when it comes to some of these SS swaps I have. I have 6 that need to be postal by 1/15/06 to get there by 1/20/06. I have had ideas for them in my head but haven't sat down and done them yet.

Last night I went to Dawnn's to crop, just to use her Sizzix and punch out letters for the states (Alabama, Michigan, Idaho, Rhode Island, Florida and then city of Orlando) as those are my states/major city for the swap. You may be looking at that thinking that's not too bad ... it's not until you multiply each letter by 12! I got them all done but it took me almost 5 hours. I feel good though knowing that part is done. I now need to actually make the borders! I also helped her sort 2 swaps she was hostess on so she can put them postal today. What a chore! Apparently neither of us can count correctly because we each had different numbers trying to match up the swaps for everyone and finally had to resort to doing them one at a time while we each counted out loud! =)

Tonight I am going back over to her new place for her semi-official-let-yourself-in-the-door-byob-New Years Eve party. I am going to bring some crop stuff too just in case I get really inspired!

I hope everyone has a safe New Years and has fun whatever you end up doing. And remember, if you drink, don't drive ... just do the Watermelon Crawl =)

Seriously though, if you drink hand your keys to someone who isn't, call a cab, get a ride from a sober friend, or just stay at your friend's place. I'm sure they'd rather have you sleep on their couch than drive drunk and kill yourself or someone else.

Take care ya'll.

Good mail day!

I love getting mail ... not the junk mail and bills but real mail and packages :) Today was a good day! I wasn't expecting several things until later this week into next week and came home to a surprise!

In front of my door was a package with a book I ordered from Amazon.com 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility'. I'm not planning anything so don't get worried ... don't even have prospects right now =) but I have heard great things about the book and wanted to see what it was all about, plus it sounds like it may help with other 'girl issues' I may have. We'll see. I'm a chapter in and so far I like it.

Then in my mailbox, I got my Scraps which is the Creative Memories Consultant magazine that comes out monthly that shows the new products and must haves that are coming out for the following month! I can see my $$$ going to new product come January! So stinkin' cute!
I also got my pictures I ordered from the Creative Memories Photo Center! I ordered extra prints from my trip to Seattle to send to family and to my twin Heidi and wasn't expecting them for a week since I hadn't gotten an email telling me they were on the way! I love surprises, plus the photos turned out great! If you are looking for a place to use to upload photos and get prints I recommend the photo center ... leave a comment and I'll hook you up with the info :)

Other than that, I am procrastinating today ... I have 6 border swaps to get done and postal before 1/15/06 and I need to work on them but some of the paper I need is in my car and I don't feel like getting dressed to go outside to get it ... I think I will stay indoors and keep reading TCOYF!

Until the next post ... take care ya'll!

How girlie are you?

You Can Hang With the Guys and the Girls
You've struck a good balance between girlie and laid back.
You can keep it casual but when you dress up, you are as girly as the next girl.

I never was a tomboy growing up ...
Check this out to see how girlie you are! =)

Why is it ...

that you don't crave something until you know you can't have it? Today for instance, since it is Christmas Day just about everything is closed, including McDonalds. I don't eat fast food that much anymore and I haven't had McDonalds in awhile but for some reason today I am craving their french fries and a cheeseburger. I am starting to think that this is only because they are closed. If they were open, would I be having this craving? Probably not. And on top of it, I'm not even hungry! But yet I am craving these things.

I guess we know what I'll be doing tomorrow ...

Merry Christmas!

Wishing ya'll a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends.
