Yippy. I finished them in Time

So tomorrow is the card exchange at work.

We have been so busy and last night we where gone. So tonight I just finished with my cards for my card exchange tomorrow at work. It should be alot of fun.

There are about 19-20 ladies at work that all stamps.

Twice a year we have a card exchange over lunch. It really is alot of fun. Above are the pic's of the ones I made. There is alot of glitter on them as well. But that didn't show up on the pic. I will post some of the ones I get tomorrow on the blog.

Hope you all are keeping warm with these chilly temps. Bed time for me !

Fall is Finally Here !

Fall is here I think this week, color temps and the humdity is gone. Glad for that. Here are some flowers and a small scarecrow I have mixed in with them that sit on my front step for all to see and admire. Love the colors and the fun they bring to this time to year. I also have corn stocks and pumkin and much more to show in post's to come!

Hope you are enjoying the fall colors this year as well.

Stop and enjoy the small things if you can !

More Halloween Cheer

Here is My Vampire that graces our front yard right along the side walk. This is only the top of him. But he has a whole body to him. Sooo fun.

Well today it is a warm one here in Mn. 83 or so on this sunny Sat. Can you believe it. 83 in Oct ? They where wondering if we are going to break records today with the temp. Guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out.

Hope you are all having a good weekend and finding a nice way to enjoy yourselves. Today with help from a Friend Mike, Jes and him are installing our brand new patio door. What a big project that is. I didn't think it was going to be such a big job. But we will be ever so pleased when it is done. As will our heating bill this winter with a door that doesn't leak 1/2 our heat out of it.

Well soo many things I need to do and I am getting there step by step.. to becoming the Mrs., offically.

I got my license changed, social card changed and already got that in the mail. I got my new checks in the mail today. I have my name changed on email at work, but not on everything else yet. There is a perk also now we are married, Jes will get his own discount card and he is excitied about that. We added my name to Jes's checking account this morning. The men have it soo easy I tell ya. Show up at the church, say I do and it's that easy. No changing your name on everything in the world, getting all the million things done to look your best and by all means no spitting out any kids either. WOW... sounds good to me.

Jes and I sure enjoy being married. But I have to admit it is not all that different then before. But I get to call him my husband and I seem to find just joy in a small simple jesture. I know all you married people are laughing your ass off right now to that statement. But its true, at least for now. Today is 3 weeks that we've been married and its soo cute that every Sat. morning Jes reminds me how long we've been married. He has been doing small things like that, and its so fun to see.

Well I have many things to get done, and my cards to finish up for my card exchange this week at work.

Have a good weekend all !!!

Just a few weeks away !!! Yahhhhhh....

Wellll Here it is !

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BANNER!!

This is on our front door. I have some other items out there and some cute items around the house also.

( You know me...decor, decor, decor - its like my middle name )

But I will add some of those pic's as time goes on.

So I hope you are getting ready for Fall and Halloween and having a good time at it. It is sooo fun and really brings life to fall and the house! Happy Haunting you all.. hope you are decorating your life with fall items to add to the excitement of this time of year!!

More pic's to come...

Till next time..... love and peace.

Hand Made with Love

Soooo I found a bit more time in between all the things I am doing around the house.... ( head is starting to pound :( )

But.........................

I had to share....

These are a few hand made with love items that Jes and I where so lucky to receive for our wedding.
I know alot of talented people. To be honest I was kinda thinking I might have gotten some hand made items from a few other people I know. But I am grateful for these ones I did get.

As some of you might or might not know I like Dolphins. I use to collect dolphin items. I don't any longer because I just don't have any more room for them, and my collect is very big. Not really any more I need. But these are something in my collection I can use for years to come and remember Anne, the wonderful Mother and Family friend that made them for us.


These are hand made dish towels with dolphins on them. There was a wonderful set of 7 different ones. These are just two of them. Neat or what ?
Look at the one above, adorable and even a light house on it, which is another favorite of mine.

Below you will see a very large hand made blanket.
A very good friend at work, RaeLynn made this for me.
Boy do her hands do some great and wonderful things.
It looks wonderful in my living room for me to appreciate on a daily basis.

I wanted to add this close up on below, just to show you more of the details and great design.
What wonderful wedding gifts and what great items to remember my dear friends by.

Of course we got many other nice gifts and items we really wanted, we love and appreciate those as well. Thank you all. But I just wanted to share with you these great hand made items.

Wed, already !

I am tired tonight, with lots to accomplish.

I hope this week finds you doing well.

Fall is in the air and I am sooo pleased I have all of my Halloween decor in the house up. I have yet to get things up outside. But I have hopes to do that soon. It is fun and gives a whole different feel to the house.
Everyone that lives around us tells us how fun it is for them so see the Halloween items outside and on the house. However last year some items where stolen. I am hoping that does not happen again this year.

I am awaiting my wedding pic's from dear Melissa, I can't wait to see them. She took sooo many photo's and I am dying to see them all. I am sure one is better then the next. Special thanks for Aunt Rose for letting us use her RED 65 Mustang as well and a different Uncle Doug for taking photos as well. It will be great to see those as well.

I have a card exchange at work again this month. So I need to get those cards done and finished up.
When I am done I'll have to post those as well. It is always alot of fun. We have a rather large group of woman at work that are stampers. Some new to stamping and some are pro's who have been doing it for years. Nevertheless a great time to get together and have some lunch and exchange cards, get different ideas and skills from fellow peers. Nice to hear the kind words about your work as well.

We have many things that need to get done around the house before those snow flakes fall.
So this winter I have HIGH hopes it will be the winter to get things done and completed. Each winter we have plans to get things done and then something or another comes up and we never get around to it.
This year for a change our needs are coming first. We are getting things done around our home first.
So often we get side tracked with other things and other peoples projects and ours get neglected because of it. While we don't mind helping others. We also need to have time for us and our home as well. After a few years of little progress, its time to kick things in the butt and really get a move on things.

I have more to share, but I'll have to get to it later....

As the dryer is buzzzzzing it is calling me name !!!

Night for now... more to come later! :)

Friday

Hello All -

I am feeling a bit better today with the migraine. Not outta the woods yet. But doing better.

Just wanted to wish you all a great weekend.

Home and Suffering

Well, it is Thursday night, and I am home. After spending nearly most of the day at work suffering from a major migraine headache I had to leave work @ 2pm.
I tired so hard to make it the whole day. But when I pain got sooo bad I just had to go.

Not thinking I could make it the drive home. I went to my parents home to rest for a bit. I knew no one would be there this afternoon. I took more Advil as I got there.
Rested for some time. But no luck getting over it.
With much pain and disappointment, so time later I made it home to my own bed.

I feel terrible. Not only my body..my head but my heart.
Today I was to leave work a bit early and go apply for my new social security card so I could get the ball rolling with the rest of my name changes and things at work. But tonight was suppose to be my night with my Grandfather at the nursing home. It was warm and sunny out. We could have gone outside on the patio for a nice visit. Normally my grandma would be home. But her and my mother are gone. With my head as it was, I could barely make it home much less to visit all night with him. I am so sad. I have printed wedding pictures of us together to put in his room. I have bought fall and halloween decor to put up in his room. I wanted to do it all. Spend some meaningful one on one time with him. He is sooo cute and always has the cutest things to say. Good memories for sure. All stolen from me tonight because of this pain in my head.

I am feeling a bit better, the pain is not as intense, but by no means gone. I am hoping I feel back to myself by tomorrow. As for the pain I am sooo ready to wave good bye to it.

I don't have any meds from the doc for these migraines. But you can bet my next visit I am going to have to ask for some. The over the counter ones just aren't even making a dent in the pain.

Hope this day, for you was far better then it was for me.

Any suggestions on Migraines, please feel free to let me know.

Signin' Out.
