These punch cards are really fun, like putting a puzzle together. I'm always so excited when they turn out, but they are a lot of work!! I saw him on someones blog and had to at least try. And then when completed... I had to decide what to do with him.... so since Bubba is a big Mario Cart(Wii game) fan... I wrote a little love note inside to my son during finals week last month and gave it to him! It is still in the same spot he laid it down 4 weeks ago!
Sunny skies out today, but at 8 am it's a chilly 9 degrees. Sorry doggies, maybe if it makes it up to 15 will I venture out! Brrrrr. I'm going to clean up my Kodak share pictures on the computer, now that I have two blogs to maintain, I'm getting confused on what has been posted and where!Last night we had Taco Bell Mexican pizza.... at home of course. The print out date on the recipe is 1/10/2009... so we've been making it since last January....

always love you.... I can't help but think of the Willy Nelson singing his song when I see these words. I just love the oh so cute puns and wording that keep on coming out of that creative scalloped oval hole out there in cyber space. It sure is keeping me busy when I don't have a 'real' job to go to. Again, this is just patterned paper I had laying around and I have decided to start using it up and start creating with the stuff I have!!!
Well all told, I think we got about 10 inches of snow during this massive winter snow storm here in the midwest. I shoveled twice and I walked 2.6 miles on my treadmill yesterday, I think that should count for something in the 'balance' of my life! The Sun is out right now... I think I'm going to bundle up and get the snowblower out and do one last final turn, neaten up the edges so that we can get all of the cars in and out!!!Don't forget the new and improved Creative Greetings too!!!!!here
I'm announcing: Go check out my NEW and improved creative greeting!!! card bloghttp://creativegreetingstoo.blogspot.com/You got to see it! Oh my gosh 900 posts to this silly blog.... that could mean almost 900 cards.... sometimes I posted more than one card, but then it also means I had family pictures I posted too.... anyhoo.... I really like taking tiny scraps and mushing them together to punch out one larger image. Does this give you a quilt feel? Or a quiet feel? Or it's quite a feel.....A few pieces of paper a card does make!
I think it's going to be a long, long day. Got rudely awakened at 6:15 am by the almost 15 year old, that she didn't have enough time to get ready to catch the bus since Bubby decided not to drive, due to the potential foot of snow we might get later today. Daddy was so nice. I think the job interview went well, but I declined going further after the temp. agency called to see how things went. First of all, it's 32 hours a week and I'm just not ready in my life to do a job in 'mental' health, ah whatever.... just doesn't feel right for me. I will bring a little SHINE into my life today... I think I will make an apple cobbler. Tonight it's Kung Pao chicken and isn't LOST on??? who hoo!!!
Since I became a blogger, that is how many posts I have published for Creative Greetings!! Wow! That is awesome.... crash....boom...@#$!?....... life as I know it for the past 3+ years gone if the computer is targeted (supposedly all forms of electronic communication will be disabled during our next terrorist attack according to one email circulating.) But, until that time, I will showcase fun, sun SHINE type of unique greetings for your viewing pleasure.This card was quite enjoyable to create! Double sided designer paper cut 3" x3", a few little folds, a center popped up, embossed background, heartfelt sentiment and a cute 'in' butterfly and a warm wishes card. Ta da!
Something is a brewing. Hubby told me last night .... Sissy had another interesting v-ball practice... for this weekends tourney they have lost two players to injury, so that brings them down from 8 to six. ALL OTHER teams have fielded 11 players!!! And to add insult to injury... this key player who they brought over to 'save' the team last week... wont be at the tournament due to another commitment. Sorry that I'm not getting into too much detail... just seems like a few broken promises on the administrative end of this club team, and that all they are doing is setting the team up for failure. What do you do? Tell your kid to just smile and bare it? But to end on a good note.... great dinner last night Shrimp & Garlic Alfredo Pasta with red peppers, very creamy and tasty... ooh, I like being a foodie!!!!
....I'm just savoring the moment. Wouldn't this be a fun card to receive in the mail? Is it a late birthday card? Or maybe somebody had some big news and it's taken you months and months to acknowledge them. Or maybe it's that I'm really slow and taking time to enjoy all moments, whats the rush? Life is not a race! Just liking the orange and red combinations, simple card with doodling!
Another dreary winter day, bleak, bleah!!!! What kind of sunshine can I bring to my little corner of the world? Remember the other day I told you Bubba was 'da judge? His picture is in our local paper. He's not identified, but WE know it's him! Boy, that day he didn't drive to school caused Sissy to be in a tizzy. She MADE me drive her to school!!!! Then she wanted me to pick her up (I could have, but why should I when there is a perfectly good bus who brings her and drops her two doors down?) Then she had a late night practice last night and Bubba decided NOT to drive to school today (I don't get his thinking) and that knocked her into another state of privilege. Ah the life in the house with teenagers. I'm trying to be slow and savor the moment, soon they will be out the door, butterflies spreading their wings!!!
Hope you are buzzin around soon!!! Get Well card with a fun little happy bee to wish you well! Although I followed the instrunctions I found on the scor pal gallery site, I tried to alter them a bit, and only I know what didn't really work... for next time. Will the person who receives this card know how to prop it up? Or do I put a little side view direction???
So Bubba was a judge for the day.... a preliminary voting judge at a VFW voting post in Woodstock, IL (actually where GroundHog day was filmed some 20 years ago... and it was Groundhog day yesterday) He was happy to get $165 for sitting on his butt for 13 hours, missing a day of school. Didn't get too much else out of him when he got home after 8pm, he needed down time and found his way in front of a tv. I've been receiving lots of emails from colleges lately... he must have put my address down for the contact. My baby is growing up!!
