You know that little white rabbit Alice chases into the hole to Wonderland?   That seems to be ME this month!  I’m constantly screaming “I’m late I’m late…” and it just keeps getting worse and worse!  Every night before I log off my pc and head to bed, I write out my “to do” for the next day.  If any tasks are left over from the current day, they carry over to the next days list.  5 off / 10 on.  It’s not working out to well for me lately!  I’m starting to think I should just give up on ever CATCHING UP and just roll with the current flow.  lol.

I have was going to do a great post today, my To Do List SAYS SO!  But I for the life of me can NOT remember WHAT I was going to blog about. hahah!

Oh well, I think I will just sit here and enjoy my morning coffee and watch the snowfall.  I can’t worry about EVERYTHING, right?

Our Thanksgiving was great, I will post some pics as soon as my Dad uploads them.  Yea, that’s right.  I took a TON of photos, BUT when I was getting them off MY CAMERA I realized that when I picked up his new big monster camera to play - I NEVER PUT IT BACK DOWN!!!  All the pics I took of family and food, all on his camera not MINE! ackkkkk!!!

I’ve also been sneaking in some late night crafting sessions and working on a mini-album.  I will post some pics and “how to” when its done.  I have about 5 pages left to do.  So soon it will be soooon.  Maybe soon.  *crosses fingers*

I do have a little freebie for you today!

I loved KimBs new From Santa With Love kit, and used it to make my desktop for Dec.

I know, you’re wondering WHY I made mine so wide. LOL…
I have dual monitors on my big pc, so the image actually spreads across 2 computer screens.  Looks funny on here, but FANTASTIC on my computer!

For your freebie, I resized and rearranged it for you to fit on a normal monitor.
This is a transparent PNG file, just pop in your two favorite photos and save.  If you aren’t sure how to change your desktop image, just hollar.

You can download this desktop HERE
Big hugs to Kim for letting me give it to you!

I posted this on a board today… its funny so I’m a repostin’

ok Im silly but I had to share.

I’m relatively new to all this stamping business. So when I was trying to build up some supplies I ordered tons of Stamping Up! stuff. Well, I got one of each of the colorsets of inks + refills. I asked around for weeks before doing so because I didn’t (and still don’t really) understand the difference in the types. Color was more of a concern to me. Well, since I like to hand color, watercolor, markerize (is that a word even?) everyone said I needed the CLASSIC ink. So that’s what I bought. Bought it ALL. LOL..
ok, shoot forward to last night.

Up until now Classic ink is all I had used. I used some Encore once, but it didnt feel like this.
Anyway, so last night I could NOT sleep again. I have no idea why my mind will not shut off at the end of the day! So, I decided to break out my new wal-mart stamps and make my family Christmas cards.
When I signed up to be a demo for SU! a few weeks ago, one of the things they sent me was a pad of white CRAFT ink. Which I used last night to make my snowflakes.

I have to tell you I just wanted to SCREAM OUT "wooohoooooo"

Up until now, Ive stamped and been like
"oh yay, Im stamping look at me make a pretty…"
but last night…
the way the craft ink FEELS when you stamp the paper…
the stamp almost HOLDS the paper screaming out
"Do ya feel that!? DO YA?!"
omg it was just AWESOME!!!

hahah! ok, sorry, just had to get it out. Had to tell SOMEBODY. My hubby just doesn’t get it. Although, when I was telling him about how awesome it was this morning he responded by saying. "That’s great babe. How much is THIS going to cost me?" hahaha poor guy.

Finally got to use my new cute little wal-mart stamps, and got my family Christmas cards done. woohoo!
on the side: this was my first time stamping with craft ink, and I LOVE IT! Now I think I bought the wrong kind of ink when I ordered all my stampin up stuff!

Noney-Bug that is!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY!!!!

Man, what a crazy few MONTHS… It really seems like I just can NOT get ahead!

Today is Buggles birthday, she turns a WHOPPING 8!  And for her birthday she has decided she wants either a Just Like Me doll, or a my Twinn doll.  BOTH are over $100.  Basically they take your kids picture and create a doll Just Like the picture.  I told her if she wanted something THAT expensive she would have to buy it herself.  Shes 8, high time she learned the value of a dollar.  Right?

Omg, this child, who always lets her loose teeth stay in until the come out on their own.  As in wont let anyone TOUCH them… has even been pulling her OWN loose teeth to get the money from the tooth fairy! LOL….

So for her bday, she says "momma, please don’t buy me junk, this year I need money. "  hahaha

Well today is the day!  Even though her party and cake and gifts wont be until Saturday, I couldn’t let my Bug go off to school  on her birthday without doing SOMETHING, right?

Here’s our morning!  PS…  jacking your kid up on chocolate BEFORE school even starts… I’m thinking maybe not such a good idea.  *They’ve already called once today! hahahaha!!!!*

Snuck these out on the table before Bug got up….

Wake up Bug!!! Time to wakey wakey!

Wake up I say… wake up!

Dont make that face, its your birthday!!!!

Awwww, what was in there?! 

Was it…

MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting ready for school,

who’s a big girl now?!

"I’m a Rock Star"

I read her jacket back to her, and THIS was the look…  "I’m not spoiled, I deserve all my stuff"

Big girls buckle up!

"Wonder if anyone will sing to me today at school….."

"I hope I have a lil party today, you know I get a birthday pencil today from Mr ****!"

There’s the SCHOOOLLLLLLL……

Are you going to have a great day!!!!

Out in the rain you go lil birthday girl!!!!  HAVE A GREAT DAY BUGGLES!!!!!!!!
