cricut board

A month or so ago the cricut board started having what I call "troubles" people kept complaining about post not being posted in the proper " categorie ". A few days ago administrators announced that topics will be moved if they are placed improperly. And today (as if this were the ck{Creating keepsakes} board) posts have been pulled left and right including one that said "Happy Monday". Now that sounds a bit extreme pulling a thread that says Happy Monday don't you think.? Of late (since this brouhaha started) I've been holding back from posting my work on that board. I have no ideal if I post in the right area or not, but it leaves me feeling un welcome and hesitant to post on the only mb that I visit. Sure I understand that if nobody followed the guidelines it would be a huge mess, however on the other hand I don't have time to go through 15 different categories to find an ideal or just see what today's "hot topic" is on the

Well I dont know about you but the weekend was not long enough for me. I spent the better part of the weekend hacking with my lingering cough and cooking I got some QCT, quality cuddle time with Clipie. We did not cut the grass that is 6 inches high but the sacrifice was worth it. I'm ready to skip this week and go strait to Friday night cropping, as soon as I find my glasses, I have not woke up enough to find them yet. The card above are cards I have made for family and I used the backgroud paper to print a letter on. I have and Ohio the State not Ohio State page in the works i just need a branch and have been to lazy to make the branch. To much more to say other than the prayer for todays is Dear Lord, send some sunshine. Amen blessings a

baby talk

So sometimes it dangerous when Engineers think as my life is so exciting I thought I would share this glimpse of my life here at home...... I was sitting with clipie watching the tv . Dirty Jobs you know the show with the guy with the deep silky voice, that does not mach his face. (at least in my opinion his voice and face are off) Moving on he was collecting poo at a daycare when the question was asked "How log do babies stay in diapers? And the reply was "2 1/2 years". "Your joking?" "No, very few can be trained before 18 mos and that's an exception to the rule" (in my best day care teacher voice I had) In all my years of day care I had only seen 3 before 18 mos. "Well I'd make a device" "blink, huh, what?" "I'd make a device so that you could sit the kid to the toilet and train it early." "You realize it has to due with muscle control right?" "We could train the cat at the same time save mon

the seat cuishion search

Yesterday was a very full day in which I'm still tired from. At the current moment I'm just listening to the news hoping it will be as nice as it was yesterday, it was 65 here at the house and beautiful. I'm currently trying to track down a seat cushion for my swing on the patio. Yes I've tried Wal mart, Kmart, Lowe's, Home depot, and Target and no cushion. I'm trying Trees and trends, Big lots today and if un successful (someone start praying) I'm going to need to get material and sew. You all know I can't sew don't you? You all know that any scrapbook page with sewing on it is well....tainted with me. It's all really comes down to self confidence and I can't sew, I'm sewing challenged. The darn cushion is an odd size 52 inches wide and 20 inches deep that's the cause of the searching. When we bought the darn thing at Target they did carry replacement cushions for it, just not now. All jokes aside it is truly frustration to try to

Hi all I'm back from my Easter Vacation of 4 days. Wow it was just what the doctor ordered, I'm finally feeling pretty much like my self, sure I'm not going to to be going on any long walks just yet but I haven't had any need to sleep with my inhaler in my hand, so things are on the up swing. I was so glad to see my Mom. I have never been away from her this long (before) and let me tell y'all I needed some Mom time. Since I'm not speedy Gonzales just yet I actually got to sit and just have fun with her at home. Since sis and I are still having a bit of a cough we did visit our local Cracker Barrel (despite the fact my Dad wanted Arby's or McDonald's) and we had a good dinner. I did manage (with help from Betty crocker) to finally make my very first spice cake in a 13x9 pan with cream cheese frosting. I have only one thing to say Why have I not discovered spice cake more soon? I had made it because of late I have been the neglectful Aunt forgetting Bethan

AN introduction

My introduction to you today is my other blog as if one were not enough http://scraphappygirlwork.blogspot.com/ I'm just going to post my work with out all of the blah blah blah bla . It will all be repeat posting. I did it so people who cant tolerate the spelling but like the work can just go look. No just joking I don't care about that. I did it so when I submit cards and stuff they have a site to go to and look at. I just don't want them to know how bad the spelling is ; ) enjoy There will be a new link on the side bar for it.

GET something to drink this one is long! I have thousands of thoughts running throughout my mind. I'm so thankful to be getting better, this really was a rough patch. I'm so depressed, and disappointed about not going to say good by to Aunt Betty. And on top of that I need to "be well" so I can go see my own mother this weekend. It's been since Christmas and one of the longer stretches of not seeing her so I'm excited to see her and Dad. Which leads me to be guilty again with the Aunt Betty thing because frankly it could be sis and I in there situation, we could be alone and need what small family we have. And with all that I have cooking guilt their is no way on this earth I will be able to cook Easter Dinner. Will my family be mortified when and if I'm able only to have a Stoffer's lasagna dinner from the freezer at Waly mart? OK now that I have all that out........ I'm so glad at the last crop at Betty's that I had sat down and made a beaut

What a week I'm glad a new one starts soon!

Well I am improving a bit more every day keep up the prayers though I'm not out of the woods just yet but getting better. Also as many of you know I have had a sick aunt for quiet a while My fathers sister Betty. She passed this morning I'm heart broken that I wont be able to go to her funeral. I'm even more upset because Sis and I are just about the only family my two cousins have left. I guess in the near future I'll be making a trip to Atlanta or S.C. what ever is the most convenient for my cousins Marry Beth and Susan. Maybe at our next gathering I'll try to make "congealed salad" it was a desert my Aunt Betty had made for me when I was young. pictured Marry Beth, Aunt Betty, Susan summer of 06, June

Retreat

Well as you can see it was a blast. I had a great time I had something like 17 pages done and enjoyed every minute of it. Coming home yesterday was like hitting a brick wall I laid down and was out for the night with only those annoying pee breaks to wake me up. A quick summary of Retreat Thursday night I arrived about 8 pm. Yes it was late but worth it not to drive in the sleet Friday morning. I didn't do anything but talk but it was a great way to start unwinding from day to day life. Friday morning began with watching the tv and wondering if our beloved other scrappers would be able to make the trip through the winter weather. It turned out to be a lovey scrap day where I drank lots of watter. Saturday was great as well a bit more busy with all the activities. I had a bit of a head ache but eventually it decide I was not going to put up with it and went away courtesy of Motrin. And I drank some watter Sunday was a sad day I had to go home. And yes I again drank more watter. Not
