M-I-A

Yes, I know I have been missing in action. The end of the shool year always bring about the end of the year countdown or should I say meltdown. I feel like my second home has been at my boy's school. And since I am the President of the Parent's Club I get to oversee a lot of the end of the year activities. Everyone who needs a reimbursement from the Parent's Club has miraculously found their receipts, band concerts, D.A.R.E. graduations, and getting the 8th graders off for their class trip, and their dinner dance. I have only had a few minutes out of the past 2 weeks to come up with 3 cards and they were all for swaps. Hopefully by the end of next week it will start to calm down. My craft room looks like hell, I can't find anything, and I have all these ideas floating in my head for an arts and crafts show that I need to get ready for in June. I hope to get some pictures of these cards soon so I can post.

And on top of all that I am in the process of scheduling some upcoming card and technique classes. So that means samples, samples, samples. Whew!!!! Can you tell I need a break?

Hope to be back very soon. Have a wonderful holiday weekend.

I WON! I WON!

I still can't believe it. I won the "blog hop" that Shirley's2Girls hosted last week. If you have not visited their site or their blog you have to go take a peek. They have some really great challenges and the cutest new stamps that were released last week.

I have a great package of blog candy coming my way and I'll be sure to share it with all of you.

And by the way, I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.

"TIPS" Thursday

Good Morning Everyone,

Well today's tip is not an actual tip but more of a "Hey did you now?" As most of you know I spend waaay too much time blurfing, surfing, and googling. Well in my web travels I came across a site called "Postcrossing". This site allows anyone to send and receive actual postcards from random places all over the world. Now don't think it is all about postcards. You can send cards, letters and there is even a "Bookcrossing" site. Seems like a neat idea, especially since I am sure we all have tons of cards we can send to someone in Finland, Romania, or China. Go check them out.

Bad Wife!!!

Well my last post talked about being a very bad mommy. Now I am a very bad wife. Yesterday was my hubby's birthday. And we did absolutely nothing for him. And what makes it even worse is that he made the big 4-0! Now don't get me wrong, I attempted but my hubby is a home-body. He pretty much likes to stay home. I think it might have to do with the fact that it seems like every time we do go somewhere we run into someone he has either arrested, interrogated, or surveillanced. I guess it's one of the downfalls of being a county cop and not just a city cop-he works all over. Well any who, I offered him a big party at a club, at home, I offered a dinner party, or a cocktail party. Just something to bring people together to celebrate this milestone. He declined. So humf-I guess I'm not a bad wife after all, at least I tried.

Well even though he's not in his 30's anymore, he did pretty well yesterday. Unlike me who will start kicking and screaming at least a month before my 40th b-day. I, myself, will absolutely dread the day.

Well here is his card...

I sent a request through Wish-RAK for motorcycle images last year and received some great ones. My hubby is actually a Harley man. He snuck one in on me last year. As I was enjoying a nice quiet Sunday morning, "Baby" was delivered to our front door. "Baby" is the official name he has given her. I just call it "the thing in the garage".

I really need to do better at paying attention to the supplies I use so I can list them properly.

Bad Mommy!!!

I goofed. I had every intention to post this yesterday but the evening got away from me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!!

I wanted to do a quick post to my littlest little one: Nick. He is going to be so flabbergasted to see his big mug on the screen-LOL.

Nick turned 9 years old yesterday. I'm sure you don't remember, but 9 years ago on April 23rd it was actually Easter Sunday. Which is how he got the name Nickolas Christian. And this little munchkin has come a long way-he was born at 26 weeks weighing 1 pound and 1 ounce. Can't tell-can you? The picture on the left, with dad, was when he was about 4 weeks old and the picture on the right he was about 2 months old. He spent a totl of 10 weeks in the hospital which isn't bad for a kid born 14 weeks early.

.

He had a wonderful birthday. He took treat bags to school. They really didn't do any work in school yesterday since it was the school's annual Tech Trek Walk-a-Thon where the students get to walk the neighborhood to raise money for their computer lab. His present from mom and dad was the new Nintendo DS i he was asking for. Have you seen this thing. I tell you, the technology they think of. This is an upgrade to the original DS. With this newer version you can connect to the internet and download games, it has a camera, you can record and listen to music. I think I might want one-LOL. He also received a guitar from grandma, and spoke to other family members who will be gifting him over the weekend. So I have decided to have cake and ice cream Saturday evening to celebrate the little Prince. I even let him eat dinner in his room last night so he can continue watching SpongeBob. Believe me when I say he is still all grins.

Again---Happy Birthday Munchkin!!!
