Monday Morning!

Okay where does the time go...it is Monday already....yesterday was a blur around here...Cowboy and I got up early really early and started our fall clean-up around the house and the yard....I have a laundry room off the kitchen and I love it...but it is the catch all....if we do not know where to put it...into the laundry room it goes.....lol...so yesterday at 5:45 a.m. we started the overhaul of the laundry room....I must say I think it is wonderful now that we are done.....teehee...lets see how long it stays this way....we bought shelves and organizers and such....looks good...once the sun was out we moved to the outside.....I really hate this time of year...we put away all the patio furniture.....pulled the last of the flowers.....stacked the wood for spring and just did an complete overhaul of the whole darn yard....about 2:00 in the afternoon the wind picked up and the leaves are now starting to fall from the trees...a sure sign of fall for sure.....both of our daughters and their families came for an early supper with us....we went through some things that we had here that belonged to them....it is time to do that.....I am not sure why this is the year to purge, but that is what is happening around here these past few weeks....our next project for the coming weekend is the reorganizing of my stamp room...yipee.....I have a whole room just for me...it is not very well organized any more.....I am out growing the space and need to better utilize it.....so stay tuned for that....I did work on a page for a Calender swap that I am in and will get it uploaded to the site later tonight....have a good one...later gators!

Posting!

I made a promise to myself yesterday that I would post on this blog each and everyday...well I have no pictures of cards to post again today so I will just type....lol...my online shopping stuff is starting to arrive, I have swaps due and all I can think of is nothing....I can not make my thoughts gather around stamping these days...the sun is shining and fall is in the air here that is for sure...I want to spend time outside before the long dreary winter hits.....all though I love to stamp...I find myself getting caught up in the hype of having to have all the latest stamps released by all the various companies....I get them and then here they sit...they need to be used and loved....lol...I have a goal set out for the next week and that is to make at least one card a day....lets see if I can keep this goal...well later gators!

MOJO Gone and a Spending Spree!

Okay not sure what has possessed me to go shopping... online...to make matters worse...but I have managed to spend the countries annual budget in the last month and have not created anything...oh where oh where has my MoJo gone...oh where oh where can it be...it better get back soon or the Cowboy is going to divorce me.....lol...with life being so unsettled, I tend to spend...gives me the warm fuzzies...teehee....I have managed to buy every spooky house stamp ever made I think in this last round of spending...hmmmmm....best be getting some cards made for on here....I have discovered some new stamp companies and am loving the work the I see the DT's make...so of course I gotta buy the darn stamps.....maybe I should delete Google reader....would make my life so much easier......haha...I could not give up my daily dose of these women...they are my family...my life....oh wait...that is not right......oh well you know what I mean....

Gotta share a funny story about my little grand daughter Julie....well she has made the big excidous to kindergarten...she attends day care in the morning and one of the family must pick her up and take her to school in the afternoon...the grand parents have been taking turns for a week at a time....this was my week to do it....so before I start...you need to know that Julie is the love of my life....I would do anything for this little girl...she is at our home everyday...and I think Cowboy thinks that she belongs to us....lol...oh well onto the story....so on Monday I go off to pick up the little munchkin...she has started a new day care and Ms. Amanda is an amazing daycare provider....so I get to the door and remember I have never been here before.....I see Julie in the background just waiting me for...so anyway Ms. Amanda says to me...I am sorry I have never met you before....do you have any Identification with you.....WHAT I say.....hmmmm...yes I guess I do...off to the car I trot to get my drivers license....back to the door I go....Ms Amanda has a look at the picture and says yes that is you.....then in the background I here this little voice saying with a giggle...no no I do not know her that is not my gramma.....lol....I was absolutely beside myself...then around the corner comes my little Julie laughing and laughing.....she yelled April Fools Gramma....lol...okay a little late....but she was funny.....

Onto one other topic before I go off to do some more online shopping....oops I mean go to work......I have been chosen for a posting on this blog...from my dear Friend Karyn...I will get it posted to here later today.....and will answer all the questions involved......anyway gotta go later gators!

In a Funk

Okay once again I am not very good at Blogging.....yikes...I am in a funk and really need to start working it through with the Cowboy(for those that do not know that is my hubby)...we have some pretty big decisions to make in the next few days.....and no we are not seperating or divorcing...oh well we will get through this as well.....I am not sure how to make my Blog pretty...I want a pretty Blog...one that will have people coming to it....hmmmmm...maybe I need to actually put some of my work on here.....teehee...that would probably help....I have been asked to make some more wedding invitations....another huge order.....have not said yes nor have I said no.....I need to see the template before I make the decision....it is cold and dreary here today...temps are not warm, nor is it warming up here much through the day...actually it is driving me crazy to see the end of the summer already...Cowboy is outside doing some winterizing to the pool right now....we did not plant a big garden this year so there is not much left to take out...we really downsized everything this year....good news is, my son and his family are in Manitoba as I write this and will be here at my home for the next five days...oh how I love these visits...although a little crazy when we are all here together I still love it non the less.....well I guess I best be going and seeing what needs to be done before all the family arrives.......later gators!
