Day 63 - Chocolate Fountain

Today was "Stamp Camp" in Washington. The theme was Valentine's Day, so Carrie got a chocolate fountain and asked everyone to bring something that could be dipped! I took pretzel rods, which were all gone by the end of the day. There were Nutter Butter cookies, pieces of angel food cake, marshmallows, graham crackers, banana pieces, strawberries and fresh pineapple. Since I'm trying to eat more healthy, I only ate the fruit and 1 pretzel rod. But the pineapple was fabulous!
We made a great layout and 3 cards which I will take a picture of and post later in the week.

Day 62 - Back Porch Memories February Kit

This came in the mail today and I'm thrilled. It's Crate Paper die cuts and paper. Will definitely use all the stuff in this kit. Can't wait to play!!!

Day 61 - Susie on "Her" New Rug

We stopped at Menards this morning after work to pick up a new inside works for my bathroom toilet (the 2nd I've broken in a month). David saw these rugs for $1 and bought 2 of them because he knows Susie likes rugs. Well, guess this was a hit because she claimed it right away! He also put one in the craft room and she lays on it, also......

Day 60 - The "25th of" Album

This is an online class of a sort. We get prompts on the 24th of each month of pictures to take on the 25th and then are sent a layout idea to make. We take pictures of specific things and then scrapbook them once a month in this album. I have chosen to take pictures of:

1-Wake up clock
2-Bedtime clock
3-Breakfast
4-Lunch
5-Dinner
6-Out our front door
7-Out our back door
8-What I'm reading
9-What I'm DVRing
11-Gasoline prices
12-Website visited
13-Whatever is happening that day (which can be several pictures)

I missed a few months last year and am filling them in this year for that month. It's neat to see how the food I eat changes, how the gas prices have gone UP and DOWN, the different things I've read, and how the yard looks at different times of the year. All in all, I've enjoyed this project.

Day 59 - Tignanello Purse

My QVC order came today. It's a Tignanello Glove Leather Hobo purse. The colored is called "peridot" and I LOVE it. I have another Tignanello purse that is dark green that I got for Christmas over a year ago from my Aunt Georgia. Love their construction, the way they hold up and the styling. They always have a lot of compartments without being too big. This won't be my last one!

Day 58 - Scrapbook Page of Girls

This is a page I made on Saturday while scrappin' with the girls. It's of the 2 granddaughters, Trina and Autumn back in 2006. I pretty much let the paper dictate what I was going to do. It's the We R Memory Keepers "White Out" collection. I have 2 more of these "4-block" papers that are a little different in design and I really like them. The girls are playing next door at our neighbors when they spent a weekend with us.

Day 57 - Ironing

Today I spent ironing and doing laundry. I actually enjoy ironing, as I was brought up to iron and do it right. My father's first job when he married my mom was at a cleaners. He was very picky about his clothes and always ironed his own Post Office uniforms (he was a mail carrier). He's the one who taught me to iron. I now have a digital iron and love it. Tells me when it's the right temperature, tells me when it needs to be cleaned, shuts itself off if it isn't used in awhile....

Most of David's work shirts need ironing, as they are cotton. I usually iron enough for 2 weeks at work and then put the iron away for a few weeks. I know this is not what most people do now days, but it is enjoyable for me. Pop a good movie in the DVD player, get a cup of coffee and go to town.

Day 56 - Scrappin' with the Girls!

Today was our monthly scrapbook day with my girls. I will admit none of us, except for Rachel got a lot done. Kendra and I both only did 4 pages and I'm not sure about Trina. I think even Autumn, the 5 year old, did as many pages as Kendra and I! But we did have a lot of fun and conversation. I had veggies and dip for snacks. Kendra brought 3 dips, Onion-Onion, Garlic-Garlic and Bacon-Bacon. They were great on crackers and I really liked the Onion one mixed with the Bacon.....nice treat. For lunch I made goulash and Mexican bread. There was a little left over but not much. We set our next scrappin day up for the first Saturday in April, because the girls have a camping trip coming up in March and will be gone 2 weekends, plus some other stuff to do.

Day 55 - Mousepad and Magnets

I ordered this new mouse pad from Cafe Press because the old one I had was a freebie from the Post Office and extremely UGLY! Love this new one.....plus I also got 2 magnets.....

Day 54 - Magazines

Stopped by the Post Office on the way home and was pleasantly surprised with these three magazines. There was also a Sports Illustrated for David plus 2 catalogs. The box was full, needless to say. I am really looking forward to seeing this "blue" kitchen, as that is my favorite color and I love the way these cabinets look!
