Oh yes I am! 14 Gold medals...most ever in a Winter Olympic Games! I managed to get home in time to see the last 10 mins of regular time and then the overtime. Talk about nerve racking!! But they pulled it out in the end.

I just wanted to drop in a do a quick post before dinner and then to watch the Closing Ceremonies. Friday night was Calgal night(see my sidebar for each gals blog) and it was Nancy's turn for a challenge. I suggested to Nancy if she did not have one already we could all try out Julie's color challenge. Nancy decided to go with that. I was not 100% sure she would so I went ahead and did the one in my last post. So when I got to Nancy's I thought...great, what I am gonna do now? But ya know what? I actually like this one better...and it actually follows Julie's Challenge better...I added black to the first one, which was not a color in the challenge, I just add black to almost everything!!

I am very happy with the way this one turned out! That image was a freebie from the Motivet blog and still available. This image was very fun to color. Although, I had printed it on white cardstock, which did not go with the vanilla cardstock...so I decided to cut it out and pop it up. And I used one of my new punches I got for Christmas too! Thanks again for the challenge Julie and Nancy!

{ A Challenging Day! }

That about sums it up! First off, I decided to do some baking since we are getting together tonight for our Feb Calgal night. I decided to try out a new to me Banana Bread recipe. First off we have issues with our bread pans...well lets just say they did not come out horribly, just not great either. Then I decided to make a new dip...well I seemed to have screwed that up too! LOL! Just one of those days I guess.

I did manage to get down to my stamp room for a bit and worked on a couple challenges though. This one combines Julie's first Color Challenge and this weeks MojoMonday.

This one turned out okay. I am not in love with it, but it's okay. I guess the main thing that is bugging me about this one is the red panel on the left. Perhaps I should have used a different color. The image is a freebie from Bugaboo Stamps that I picked up this week and very fun to color!

Well, I am off to pick up the kids from the bus soon. I may do some more baking this afternoon, just incase the banana bread isn't a hit. ;0)
