Well my cleaning lady isn't coming today afterall. She has a dental emergency so she won't be here til next week. I am so glad I got a lot of housework done yesterday as the house is pretty tidy. Just a few things to do that the cleaning lady would normally do (mop, wash the linens, scrub the bathroom, etc.)

I would love to get a jump start on my xmas gifts. I feel like Christmas will be here before I know it and I'll be unprepared. I think this year I will make most of the gifts. I have some ideas of a few things, just need to get some things on my to do list done then I can fool around making stuff. I also need to start designing my christmas cards. I haven't decided what I'll do this year. last year I did a cute photo shoot with my son holding up HO HO HO letters....I'll have to get creative to top last year's card. =0)

Did I mention I have the front of my house all decorated for Halloween? I normally don't do it outside but my son really wanted a spooky house so I tried my best. Hey, compared to most of the houses in my neighborhood, my house looks pretty impressive. I don't know why more people don't participate in halloween. When I was little almost every house did. Now most of the houses have their lights out.
I feel bad for the kids. So atleast I have my house decorated and I'm going to buy a ton of really good candies to hand out! I also got a spooky halloween cd from the Spirit Store!!!

Well that's it for now...I'll take some pics of my yard this afternoon and post them later on tonight...

BYE!

Today was quite a busy day for me. I got up, got my son and neighbors daughter off to school, came back did a few loads of laundry and then went out to run some errands. I went to 2 banks to make deposits, stopped by the finance company to pay our RV payment, went to Kaiser to do some bloodwork for the fertility treatments (I HATE DOING BLOODWORK!!!!! they can never find my vein!!), went to AAA to buy another registration sticker for our car cause someone decided to take ours - isnt' that great, someone steals mine and I have to pay 16.00 for another one...just lovely! Had lunch with my friend, and went to her house to check out her 2 engagement rings that her fiance got her, she's trying to decide which one to keep (lucky her huh?)

Came home, did some data entry for our business (my least fav thing to do), did some more housework, moved our living room furniture around (I get bored easily with my house so I like to change things up!),helped my son with his homework, cooked dinner, and went to bed early.....I feel like I got a lot accomplished today which is nice! The cleaning lady will be here tomorrow so that will be good, I can take a break from housework and get some more paperwork done for our business.

That's it for now!

I LOVE WEEKENDS!!!!!!!!

Okay the weather isn't so great today, it's been raining a little bit off and on, but I don't care, it's the weekend!!!!!!!! I love weekends! I'm picking up my niece and nephew this afternoon and they will spend the night at our house. We're all going to the movies with the free movie passes I earned from Albertsons! (I've earned 6 tickets so far woo hoo!).

I'm going shopping at Suzy's garage this morning with my friend Valerie and then hopefully get some scrappin' done before it's time to drive to my sister's to get the kids.

I went to Joann's fabrics last night because a friend tipped me off that they had a new shipment of DCWV Textured Cardstock Stacks. I LOVE THEM and always have to buy them online and pay for shipping cause our Joann's always runs out of stock. I got 2 regular colored stacks and 2 of the Christmas colored cardstock stacks plus a little Christmas stack for making some cards and tags:


I also went to Tar-gay (Target) and got some more of my favorite Jar candles for only 7.99!!!! I dont' have a fireplace in my house so I always light a TON of candles...... =0) These are my favorites right now cause they are pumpkin spice and french vanilla and because they are so cheap! I usually pay an arm and a leg on jar candles so I stocked up on these!!!!



I also bought some halloween decorations for outside. Haven't put them up yet, maybe I'll do that tomorrow afternoon after I take the kids back.

Well that's it for now, I'd better go get ready to shop at Suzy's! (to all you 2peas that's fairyscrapmother)

Ta ta for now!!!!!

Today was my first FERTILITY APPT!!!!

Well today was my first fertility dr. appointment. It went really well.
DH and I went to the appt., met our dr. we will be working with (she's
really nice!) And we discussed some of our history with her. She felt that
there is no reason why we could not have another baby and that we would be
great candidates for artificial insemination. THe best part is my insurance
covers it!!! YEA!!!!!!!!! So she has ordered some tests from both of us.
I will have to do a dye HSG test soon and then we'll go from there. I'm so
happy the appointment went as well as it did and am really feeling optimistic
about things!!!!!

Bye for now!

What dya know.....

Okay so I actually got A LOT accomplished today! Got all my laundry done,
cleaned up the kitchen, organized some scrap stuff I bought, and actually SCRAPPED the car wash pics I took this morning...how's that for staying current in my 2005 album?? =0)

Here's the finished layout!

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted. I got frustrated with blogger and my not being able to post pictures for some reason. SOmetimes it works for me and other times it doesn't. Today seems to be a good day, I made some cute vintage halloween cards for my mom and for my niece & nephew...wanna see?





Ummmm...what else? well I've been scrapping A LOT lately. And am hoping to scrapbook some pics I took today. My son wanted to surprise my DH when he gets home so he washed his car. I got a bunch of shots of him and want to do a "Car Wash" page. =0) WE'll see if I get it done today or not.



I really should be doing some housework or we might not make it to the pumpkin patch today which I really want to go!

Since I haven't been posting lately, I'll post a few pics, this is of the Outback Coasters I painted and altered into a Welcome Baby card for my friend. I love how it turned out!
