Down, But Not Out!

Who knows how, but I hurt my back last week, and it's kept me down a bit this week! I pinched a nerve but the doctor gave me some good med's and I'm not in as much pain as I was! I did manage to make a few cards this weekend and this is one. I love using bingo cards and have a huge amount of digi ones in my stash. I used a nice new set of digi papers from my favorite seller on etsy and a cupcake image I found on pinterest. I love how the card turned out!

Barry got  his Hanukkah present last week too. He finally got a brand new car! We have truly come a long way back from a year or so ago! It's a very pretty Buick. We leased it so the payments would be low, and it's for 39 months, so it gives us a nice new car for a long time. After that we'll see what happens. His car was 10 years old and have over 140,000 miles! He takes good car of his cars!

I really want to thank everyone one of my friends who reads my blog and has given my strength in the past to move forward. Blessing for this holiday season!

Check This Out!

Yea, for a Wednesday it's not too bad! I got my nails done yesterday and I was dying to have Minnie Mouse to share my life---so here she is!

HUgs,

Happy Monday!

As far as Monday's go, this one is good--so far! I'm off work and that's always a good thing! I have nothing on the list of "to do's" that really needs to get done, and Barry is also off work!

This is a set of cards I made for a friend who asked for 12. but will be happy to get a gift of 4! She is the wife of a friend of Barry's and can be a pain at times, but I know she means well, so I thought I'd surprise her with this set when we have our Lions Club holiday party on Thursday. I used some new digi papers and an a wonderful image, along with a HA stamp. I love how they were so simple but look so nice!

We had our dinner with the kids on Saturday night and I must say it was wonderful! Only problem we had was the gift cards for the kids didn't make it in time, but we gave them IOU letters, and I couldn't get them to go home! By the time 9:30 came around, all I wanted to do was go and get into bed, but the gang was having a ball all together! Talk about the things that make a Mom happy, that was one of them! I got wonderful gifts for Hanukkah this year. Larry and family gave me a gift card for the nail place. Evan gave me a wonderful package of goodies from Bah and Beauty Works. Madelyn gave me a new necklace that is a Star of David! See how blessed I was! Barry lots of gift cards and a game from Madelyn.

Well, I'm off to go and do something! Take care and have a wonderful day!

Happy Holiday!

With this crazy time of year, please take a moment and thank the Lord for our blessing! Some years they are more, and some years they are less, but as long as we are breathing, we are blessed!

Tonight we light the first candle with our sons, their wives, and our grandchild Madelyn, and I will count them all as my very own blessing.

Happy Hanukkah to all my family!

Happy Monday!

It's 80 in Dallas today and it hardly seems like the holiday weather, but for Texas, it can be! We're enjoying a warmer day or two right now, but in Texas, we have a saying. "Wait a minute or two, and the weather will change"! Tomorrow, it's changing again! It was beautiful over the weekend and we enjoyed the tree lighting at one of the local parks with all my children. It was so nice to spend time with them and just have fun! After the tree was lite, they had a wonderful fireworks show. Madelyn enjoyed spending time with her Uncle Evan and I think he enjoyed it as much!

Yesterday I got to spend some time in my office playing with paper! It's something I love about Sundays. Barry works, and I get the whole day to myself! This sweet card was one of many I created. It's a digi image, but I've had the little verse stamp for years. Barry is in the Lion's Club, so my house has many lions in it! I also made a set of Christmas cards for Madelyn's silent auction at her PTA due next week. I think they should get a pretty penny for the school!

I'm off today and tomorrow, but I'm picking Madelyn up after school the next few days. It will be nice to spend a little extra time with her. She has dance on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, but at least Grandma can enjoy her some!

I got a new printer on Saturday. I was printing along just fine on Friday while Barry was at work, but then it died! Like DEAD! We went to Best Buy and Barry hooked up on and I'm so happy with the new wireless one!

Well, I guess that's it for now. Have a wonderful week!

Long Weekend!

It's the end of that very long weekend I had today! It was nice to be off 2 days in a row, but being sick didn't help much! It's a darn cold in the chest thing again and as always, I lost most of my voice! My kids never mind that, but it does help to have one at work! OH well, such is life!

I finally got some new cards made today and got them uploaded to my store.They are so stickin' cute! A must have for anyone needing cards. Priced just right and ready to go!

Have a great week!

Hugs

Monday, Again!

It's funny how Monday comes even if we're not ready! Oh how I wish I could skip most of them, but I guess I have to go with the flow! Today Barry and I are just being lazy. I can home yesterday and made a bunch of cards for my store. I added a few more today and now have a nice round amount in the store! I could keep creating everyday, but I have to work the next two days and then it's Thanksgiving. The kids will be home from their honeymoon on Thursday evening. I'll miss my Coco girl, but then I get to see her at least once a week for a nice long walk at the park. She does love her duck park!

Have a wonderful day!
