P.S. I Love You...



This was the movie we went and watched yesterday. Talk about a tear jerker!! But I loved it... It will be a must buy when it comes out on DVD. It's about a married couple. The husband dies and leaves his wife notes to help her get started again. WOW! what a guy. Oh and did I mention it has HOT guys in it!! and there Irish, so they have the accent and everything. My husband wasn't impressed.... It could be that I started the movie out with wow he's HOT!!! But he still gave me the tissues during the sappy parts. So if you haven't seen it yet, it really good..
Off to work now. Until later... Have a great day! :)

I Love Mail....

Look at this wonderful card I received from my blogging sister Annie yesterday... Isn't it cute?? I totally forgot she was sending me this great give away she posted on her blog, so it was a wonderful surprise when I got home from working late. There's nothing like getting a great card in the mail.
I'm going to have to get me some of these cute Magnolia stamps!! They are perfect for coloring. I'll add them to my wish list.
I'm waiting for the new My Favorite Things stamps to release tonight at 8:30 pm. They have some super cute stamps so I'm sure I'll love these new ones. I'm hoping they will have a discount again tonight so I can get a few. I love discounts, free shipping, specials, ect... It makes me not say NO other wise it's like I guess I can wait for a special.....Maybe!! So we'll see maybe I'll get some maybe not.
I'm going to be working on some swap images while I wait. I couple of ladies asked me to swap Bella images with them, so I need to stamp them up and get them in the mail.
Have a great day!! :)

Quilt 2....


Here is the colors I picked for quilt 2. My husband wasn't crazy about the yellow... But I liked it so it went in.
I decided to do a kind of picture frame quilt with a bunch of squares in the middle. I first had to decided on my block size then divided that up into different size squares that made up the center section.
Then I started adding borders around that to make it look like a picture frame. I'm not to crazy about it but when you put it on the bed and it draps over the side it looks really cute. I wish I had made the middle bigger! But didn't want to tear it all out after I had it together..... :)
So here is the finished quilt. Again thank you honey for holding it up for me.



Now on to a new project.... :)

Happy New Year....



Happy New Year everybody!!!
My Goals for 2008:

1. Spend more quality time with my honey.
2. Spend at least one day a month scrapbooking those pictures on the computer.
3. Lose 20 pounds.
4. Learn to use my new markers.
5. Buy & wrap 2 Christmas presents a month.
6. Bring savings up to $2400.
7. Have a picture taking day once a month and create a layout with the pictures.
8. Stop hoarding my stuff and use it.

This looks like a good starting point. And at least if a write them down I can look back and see what needs improvement in 2009....
Have a great day!
