More to share...

Okay.. so in case you forgot. I made a 30 page scrapbook as part of my sister in laws baby gift. Now that the shower was this last week and it is all over with I can share just a few pages I did. I do have to say I am sorry.. some are hard to see. It was late.. I was in a rush and tired. These are just a few.

Sat. Finds!!!!!!!!!

Sooo sat was a full day for us. I was up bright and early by 7:00 am and ready to go hit the streets. My sister-in-law joined my Hubby and I as we hit the streets of our city for all of the garage sales and there where plenty of them let me tell you. In fact around noon when the temps spiked and we got tired we called it a day and ran to Subway for some lunch!

Here is a wonderful glass , brand new..( still in the box ) hummingbird feeder I got for 4.00. What a steal. I have it on a hook outside my house.

I also got this brand new butterfly on stick for 2.00. That when in the front yard in my planter with all my flowers.
I just love these signs. I have a few of them already in our home but could not pass this by for only $1.00. I am going to put it in our bedroom ! Ahhhh sweet huh ???
We had a blast and I got many other goodies as well. Lots of little baby items and odd and ends....! I am not a Mom get..but when we have a baby it will be nice to have a few things and when they are like new and a steal of a price ,how do you pass them up ???

My sister in law made a killing as well. She is due in Oct and having a baby boy. She got 3 shopping bags all filled with goodies as well for a mere $19.00. She also got items there were brand new and still had the tags on them. How fun. That is why I like to hit the local sales. You never know what goodies you might find ! What someone else wants to get rid of just might be what you are looking for....!

Hope you all had a good weekend !

Friday Night Fun !

Well, if you had read...last week was a rough one for me... But I was looking forward to a little fun at a fellow co - workers Friday night Stampin' Up Party. We had alot of fun and had a wonderful dinner of Ranch and cheese chicken breats, cheese tators... my fave.... as well as friend bread and a big yumm salad and dessert to top it all off.

Here are the cards that we made. ( We always get to make 2 cards )
So I wanted to share.....

Is it Friday yet ?????????

Hello alll...

I am happy to say that I am glad this day is nearly done.......

As it has not been a good one...

I had a very late night last night with my migraine lurking in the back ground. Today was a ruff one with not much sleep and my headache still there. Tonight it seems to be flaring up a bit, I think due to stress and I am not pleased about that. But I will do all my normal things to help it and pray it will subside.

This morning as I forced my self to work... once I got there the day seemed to get worse..... as the workload was heavy and we are busy. I got a phone call this morning from my sister with some bad news. My aunt that is simply a few years older then I had been taken to the ER late last night and my Father was almost taken late last night as well.

My Father is not always doing so well and we all worry about him alot.
His coloring is not good and he has a serious infection in on open wound on his foot which is eating his bone. He is to take some strong meds and see what happens. He might still have to be hospitalized if things don't get better. He also was told he can not work for a month. He has stage 5 Kidney failure and he is a serve diabetic and so those are always things that make his process alot longer to heal as well as more complicated. Due to the infection his foot was 4 times the normal size and the skin was peling off like paper I was told.

With a busy life and week this week and other items that I also have going on...this was not good news. If you all could find it in our hearts to keep the entire family in your thoughts and prayers it would be appreciated. The more positive energy the better!!!

Tomorrow as the worry will be in my mind and hopefully not my headache. I look forward to a Stampin' Up party and if we make cards I will post them.
I need a little fun to releave some stress. Or I myself will not be well either.

That's all for me tonight. I am going to go and get some rest. If I have another late or sleepless night I will be in rough shape myself tomorrow.

Weekend...

Sooooooooo that is what is going on lately in my life ! I hope you allll have a super week.

Insight for the day

"Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year's time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody. No, let us devote our life to worthwhile actions and feelings, to great thoughts, real affections and enduring undertakings."

Sat. Fun

Well it was a long day for us... we started out getting up VERY early..... we got up showered,dressed, feed, and truck loaded up and ready to go downtown and sitting in the parking lot of the recycle center by about 7:10. Then we ran to the Mpls, Farmers Market... I got fresh veggies and fruits and these lovely Glad's. I just love them... I usually get them alot but this is my first time this year and I love their color and beauty !

Then we ran home, got a picnic lunch packed, boat packed and hooked up to the boat and everything ready to go and my parents and sis and grandma came out. We headed to the lake for some Sat fun and enjoy the WONDERFUL day ! We got some fresh air and sun and had a lunch all together....! Below is my sis in the front of the boat giving me a wave.....

Here is a pic of the lake... nice and calm and nice blue skies !!!Here is my Hubby driving us alllll gals around yesterday and giving us a tour of the lake and the nice homes to look at! He is also essential in getting the boat in and outta the water.. hehehehe !

One of the alll time favorite things to do is relax in the boat and enjoy the water and outdoors....

Now today... My Hubby is installing our all new glass storm door on the front of our home and I am doing chores and getting ready for my shortened work week and packing for the lake!

Also working on a scrapbook for someone special !!!

Hope you all had a good weekend
