House Mouse Swap

I am sooo sorry for now keeping up with my posting of creations over this last week. It has just been kinda busy around here. We bought a new sectional for our living room this past week and then *I* decided to rearrange the entire house(living room, master bedroom and both girls rooms) on Sunday!! So everything that we cleaned out of those rooms went down to the basement. Needless to say I have not really been able to get near my stamp room!

I thought I should share something with you all though...I am feeling quite guilty ;0) I was planning on not posting this until the swap cards were sent out, but I have seen a few of the cards posted this week. So here is my House Mouse Swap card...

It is very simple, but I quite like it. I did some faux stitching, which I have not really played with all that much. I quite like it. I love these little guys...how could you not, really?

Thanks for stoppin' by...and thankyou to all of you who have sent in your entries. They look amazing!! I am gonna have a hard time deciding on a winner...might have to enlist the help of my hubby...although he is a boy and what do they know, right?? ;0)

p.s. sorry that you cannot click on the photo...believe me I have tried everything and can not get it to work. I even enlisted the help of my friend Nancy and her hubby and we could not figure it out!!

Cuttlebug plate update!

So off to Michael's I go lastnight. No luck...everyone is sold out. So I get home and decide to try it out anyway. My plate is just cracked not broken in half, so I thought I would try. Worked fine!! Wheew! Actually I think it should be fine now too, with it being cracked it now lays totally flat like it should. Now the other one is starting to warp though. Just thought I would let you all know that you can still use the plate...just keep it on the bottom.

Promise to be back with some creations in the next day or two. Been busy with swaps that I can't share yet and have my Stamp Club meeting tonight. I will also be doing a product review too...I am quite excited to share it with you!! Stay tuned...

Looks like I am off to Michael's today!!

So sad :0(

Right in the middle of making a Hostess gift too!!

I've been tagged again...twice!!

Okay so I have been tagged again, by Nancy and Laura. This one is a little different. It is more of a 'get to know you' kind of tag game. I am suppose to list 7 things about me and then tag 7 others who will do the same. I have been raking my brain all day...not much to tell, but here it goes...

*After the birth of my second daughter in 2003 I joined Weight Watchers Online...decided enough was enough and time to get healthy for me and mostly for my girls!...After 1 year and 1 month to the day I lost a total of 85 pounds! I have done pretty good since then. Although over the course of the past year and half...due to the stress of losing my Grandfather and just life in general...I have put back on 20 -25 pounds. So I really need to get back in control on the whole situation!

*With my second daughter they sent me in for a stress test and ultrasound to check the baby's position. They had a hard time due to the fact that I was so big...I was about 250 pounds at the end of my pregnancy!! They determined that she was breach. So 'we' decided to try an inversion...basically they try and turn the baby from the outside...probably the most painful thing I have been through...even more so than actually labour. But no luck...still ended up with a c-section...but I would still try and turn her again...much rather have natural than the csection...just me though ;0)

*I love Peanut Butter, but my oldest is allergic to peanuts. We have not had any Peanut butter in the house for about 6 months now...I really miss it.

*Anyone who knows me already knows this, but...I am a HUGH Disney fan. I have only been to Disneyland and Disneyworld once. But I always tell people that when I was in Disneyworld I just felt like I was 'home'. I know it sounds coocoo, but oh so true. I get goose bumps and teary just thinkin' about it! Just the sights, the smells, the sounds...I really need to win the lotto!! ;0)

*Hubby and I have been together for almost 17 years(June 28th ) but only married for almost 6(May 3rd).

*We were married in Maui. Just the two of us...it was perfect!

*I 'LOVE' Tazo Chai from Starbucks!! I was soooooo happy when Costco finally got the mix!! Woohoo. The carton at Starbucks is like $6.50 each, but costco is $9.50 for 3!! I actually need to buy some more...only have 5 cartons left! ;0)

Well there you have it...not too exciting.

Okay now who to tag?? So many have been tagged...I checked and thus far I do not see these ladies as being tagged. So...your it!!

*Ashley
*Kelly
*Toni
*Julie
*Natasha
*Anna
*Allison

One Week to go!

Just wanted to remind everyone that there is one week left to get your entries in for the 'Contain Yourself Spring Giveaway'. I am sorry for not getting pics up this week of the prizes. I had planned to this weekend, but gone and got myself a head cold! But, now I think I will keep the prizes a surprise!! ;0)

Hope everyone is have a great weekend!!

My hubby's creation!

Just thought I would share something hubby created yesterday. He has been painting for many years now...landscape oils...but just started dabblin' into acrylic flowers. I bought him a set of Donna Dewberry's paints and books. He has played a few times but nothing major yet. Well this week we bought both girls new bedding and he decided to paint El's headboard. Lookie what he did...

Not too shabby eh?? Next I am gonna have him paint our dressers...these are the first ones we bought from a neighbor for $50 15 years ago!!...I am gonna get some Plumeria, Hibiscus and Birds of Paradise!! Can't wait...don't worry, I will be posting pics for sure!!

Thanks for stoppin' by :0)
