INSPIRED

I was a little depressed, but a lot inspired by this blog post:

Thought I would share, have a good one!

winner winner chicken dinner!!

So, I get a call this morning from Amy W. telling me I won the customer appreciation drawing from the LSS of a $50 gift certificate!! WHOOOO HOOOOO!! I had to stop in and pick up some cardstock for the christmas projects I have been working on saturday, didn't even realize it was "Customer Appreciation Day" how lucky is that??
Crazy here at work (as usual) just wanted to stop in and say "HI"
hope everyone is having a great day!!

Very excited to announce that my friend Stacy in Texas gave birth to a second baby boy this afternoon. Colton Dwain Forrest, 8.5 lbs and 20 inches long. As far as I know, mother and baby are doing well!!!

Been the first of what I suspect will be many very difficult weeks at work. I will try to post as often as I can, forgive me for any long absences. Looking forward to Chase's band concert tonight, really looking forward to the weekend. Hopefully will be able to get some christmas presents completed, I am out of a certain color cardstock that I need to finish 2 gifts-that can only mean one thing: a trip to scrapfunattic!! (I guess it could mean a road trip to ARCHIVERS in KC....) Probably not a good idea ;)

Anywho, hope you all have a great day. Be sure to remember to put rocks in your pockets, I hear it is going to be a windy one out there.

Morning all! The above pics are the Sassy Affair swap project I made for Jodie. Really happy about the way it turned out, really happy with what she made for me too! I will post a slide show here after a bit with those pictures. Been a pretty low key week, still adjusting to it being dark on the drive home, not really liking that too much. (what can you do?) Haven't had any time to work on my project this week, haven't really even had time to give it any thought. Maybe I can put something together this weekend. Got a little package last night from Emma's Paperie, some Melissa Francis cardstock stickers for christmas projects. Have you ordered anything from them before? I was very impressed, when I opened the box, the stickers were wrapped up in tissue paper with string tied around and the most beautiful thank you tag with some candy attached! Definately won't be my last order from them, and how have I not obsessed before about Melissa Francis???? She is the bomb, can't get enough of her right now. So I guess as usual back to work, don't blow away out there today.
OK so I didn't reduce the size on the individual photo's (maybe someday I will figure out how to do this stuff right, LOL) So the project I made and the project I recieved are both in the slideshow) TFL!!!

Well, I had my memory card here yesterday and completely forgot to post pictures of the item I made for the Sassy Affair swap. Maybe I can remember to bring them tomorrow ;D Going to be a rough few months ahead. Lots of changes at work, downsizing departments, you know the drill. Managers getting nervous about the lack of work coming in the door. I am just afraid they may be going a little overboard, limiting the amount of work that just a couple of people are going to be capable of doing, you know? Oh well, I just do the best I can do. Hopefully it will all work out in the end, right? I have so enjoyed all the beautiful weather that we have been having, dreading the drastic change that is supposed to start tonight. Not a cold weather girl. Well better get back to work. Have a great day!
