Well, I know its safe to go to work tommorrow – Spitfires Won 2-1 over Kelowna tonight! Now as I type – The Wings are tied 2-2 with Obama’s team….. they better kick ass tonight. Or a couple of certain co-workers will make my life a living hell at work. Moping……etc…and lets not forgot about DH – Oh Boy! He goes crazy over Detroit Play Off Hockey. Its Insane!

So I managed to watch the AI Finals Tonight. I totally think Adam rocked over Kris. This post has a great read on the show if you missed it. Never mind that it’s titled 03/19/09 – its a big fat typo. BTW Kara’s song SUCKED. Just felt the need to get that out there! Kris looked like he was in shock all night for being up on stage as one of the finals. Too bad it wasn’t Danny!!

(((From all the shouting going on in my living room – I believe The Red Wings just scored! Go Wings!)

Back to AI:

And yes I voted! The little recording told me, “Thank you for voting for Contestant One!” Thank you very much. I do walk the talk ya know:)

Other News:

What a day! I have officially lost my glasses. They are somewhere in this house. Very Scary. DH & I have checked everywhere – and no luck. Even the custom officer searching my truck this morning didn’t see them. Darn!! lol
After work We bought ten, I repeat TEN tennis balls for the pups. They were in heaven! It was like watching the Easter egg hunt for dogs. Max had 7 in his pile, poor Maggie only had 3. But at least she brings the ball back for you to throw it again *giggles*

I’ve been officially informed that the Wings Won! Whoohoo!!

It’s getting late – I think I’m overtired with all this rambling here,,,,rofl.

Good Night!

Vote for Adam!

What better day than NSD to release a new Art Freckles Kit! Check out what the awesome Design Team gets to work with this month:)

This kit features gorgeous papers and rub-ons from Chatterbox’s Fabulous line, a heart warming Daisy Bucket stamp, and Art Freckles own ‘ART Houses’ (amongst other yummy items!)

The kit is available in the store now, but quantities are really limited on this one, so don’t delay!

I love to Scrapbook, and the Art Freckles Kits have never disappointed me:) In fact, it’s usually easier to scrap with one of Shannon’s kits, as everything goes together beautifully, and you always have way more than enough:)

From the March “Nest of Treasure” Kit one of my favorite LO’s is this one of my Kitten, Sissy:

Everything on this Layout comes  from the kit, the ONLY exception is the “?” Mark, it is from my stash, and painted to match. What I love about this LO, besides the fact that everything came from the Kit, lol is that DH & I will always look at this LO in the future and remember. We’ll remember the fact her nickname is “Kitten”, and also our fascination with the Joker (played by Heath, even though I still love Jack’s version too)

It is one of my more simple LO’s and one of my favorites too:) It’s a 5X7 Photo, matted horizontally & vertically, inked and attached to the pretty Patterned Paper:) Added my Title and I’ve got my keepsake:)

And That is why I scrapbook to make sure I remember! lol With this memory I have in my thirties, I definitely need my scrapbooks when I’m older…rofl!

I wish all you Scrapbookers Out there a Fabulous Day Today! Scrap Lots!!

Since I posted last! Lots to catch up on:)

I believe this is the longest I’ve let the blog go, in like….ever:)

Lets see….in a nutshell….if I can get you all caught up on my life…*giggles*

Early Feb – Injured my hand at work. It was worse than it looked I guess. Modified Duties make me bored, and being short handed at work, also frustrated as well….. It’s been let’s see….10 1/2 weeks.. and at least I’m having more good days than bad days with it now:) Sometimes I think it would have been better to break the hand, and get a cast, than to bruise it, and then keep re-injuring it with walking the dogs, or picking up a plate, or even driving….it was crazy!!

Valentine’s Day – DH got me Sapphire earings!! They are gorgeous, and I love them! He did wrap them in a hard drive box, so they seriously were a surprise! At first I was like, Thanks Honey, another hard drive – exactly what I needed…*giggles* That’s the best hard drive ever, if you ask me!!!

March was the same – doing nothing, getting frustrated, etc. One thing this hand taught me – was that I spent too much time on this computer. So does DH. So we worked a few things out this month. Communication is the best relationship advice I can ever give anyone:)

The end of March brought some changes to my life, in the scrappy world. Just before the retreat with Annie’s group, that week I believe, I became only a gallery moderator for SNS, and the board moderator for AF. I love both sites dearly, but with my hand and not scrappin for 8 weeks, I was at a cross road. (Best way to describe it) Now I have no deadlines, and less responsibility. At The retreat, it was the first time I could scrap what I wanted to, when I wanted to, in a long time. I usually end up catching up on DT stuff at crops and retreats. It was so liberating! Annie – you seriously rock at retreats girl!

So that brings me into April, DH was gone the last week in March, First of April. It was so quiet in the house…until Max heard an ant think or something:) I swear DH told him to go on guard duty while he was gone:)

I tell ya what was seriously sweet though, when I came home from the retreat, DH & I were both driving on 1-75, in the middle lane, doing 70mph. lol Only I was in Northern MI and he was in KY. lololol When I got home that afternoon, DH left me pretty flowers on the stove. I think he missed me:)

So I survived a week of Max Guard Duty – a whole lot of sleepless nights, NOT because DH was gone – but because he kept protecting me from the imaginary burglers in our house. Barking at 1AM & 3AM every night is not a fun experience. Specially when he’s tearing downstairs like a bat outta hell and waking Maggie up:) Not fun, not Fun!! When DH finally made it home, I was like glad your home, Love you, now I’m off to bed:) And I did just that *giggles* I need my beauty sleep!!

Easter came and went, we had a great time at his sister’s house. It was a lotta fun. They really get into finding the easter eggs too. Some seriously funny shit happened!!

This week – Mom and I started Missy’s Bridal Shower invites. I have seriously worked out my wishblade. I started with two new mats, and I think they are almost done now:) But I’ve made approx 100 or so. 60 are completely done, and 40 or so to finish up tomorrow.

I think this gets me updated now!! LOL I’ll update with some photos, if not this weekend – then this week:)

and if you’ve made it this far – Thanks for reading:)

With out further ado – Here ya go:

Congrats to Mardi!

Received in an email:

At a meeting of the AARP (American Association of Retired People) they showed a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was Titled ‘u @ 50′.

This video won second place. When they showed it , everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause.

So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it.

Enjoy!
