Need your help!

Ok ladies, I have a favor to ask of all of you.  My husband has entered his truck into an online truck show and the winner is determined by the number of likes the picture gets.  He is currently in second place so we really need a lot of votes!  If you all would be so kind to click on this link, then click on his truck (6th row down, 2nd over from the left) then 'like' it.  I would be ever so grateful to all of you for your help!
Here is a picture of his truck so you know you  'like' the  right one.

Here is the link to go to the online truck show.  Thank you again!!

House hunting!

We looked at a house on the lake that we love!!  It looks small from the outside but once you are inside it is very roomy and comfortable!  The kids and I loved it!

 Just look at that sweet flower bed!  My head is spinning just thinking about all the flowers I want to plant there!  I can see a pink peony or 3 living happily there and maybe some hens and chicks in between those rocks!  I have a couple of bird baths that would look good in there too!

 Look at these Amish cabinets!!  They are beautiful!  They were made here in the area too!

 More kitchen views.

I love the wooden blinds here in the kitchen and in the living room.

 I love the living room.  There is a huge skylight that lets in more light and that is a wonderful thing!

 This is my future scrapbook room!  I am so excited, I see lots of  pink going in this room!

Ok, that is it for now, I will post more pictures later.

Time to play catch up again!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted!!
Life has been crazy as usual.  We moved from Arkansas to Kentucky and have really been busy getting in the groove  of things.  So without further ado here come some posts with pictures!

Beautiful weather!!

We have been so enjoying the past couple of days!! It has been beautiful with clear skies, sunshine and temps of 70's!! It was so hard to come inside long enough to fold a load of laundry and then run back outside!!

I hope you all are having some amazing weather too!

Handsome little man.

I just saw these pictures and couldnt resist. Isnt he a little stinker? You can see the mean just dripping off of him!! Then he will turn around and be the MOST loving thing you can imagine!! These pictures really capture the real 'him'!!

Christmas 2009

Santa did good!! Nick got his Lionel Train and he was a very happy little man!!
Nick was helping Sissy unload her Christmas Stocking.

Brittany with some new eyeliner. I dont think it's possible to keep a teenage girl stocked with enough makeup!!

Nick scratching off his lottery tickets. He won $2.00!! Way to go Nick!

Just what every little Pekingese girl wants!! Chicken Jerky!

Oh, yes, this IS her happy face!!

Most of the time our house reminds me of a barrel of monkeys!! (see Brittany's 'matching' socks back there??)

She got a little tickled!!!

Ok, so maybe she got a LOT tickled!! It was an inside joke and we laughed about it quite a bit!!

I didnt include a picture of mine, but I got a GYPSY!!! YAY!! I LOVE you Santa!!

A couple of LO's

Here is what I made while at the Michigan crop. Not very much for 3 days of scrappin, but I was busy!! (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
Nick meeting McQueen!!

Cinderella's Royal Table, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Le Cellier, and just out and about. This one was a fun one to make!

Poor Nick, He was NOT the happiest camper while we were at Disney. I guess after 17 days he just wanted to come home! Not me, I wanted to stay another 17!!

Another one to use up a lot of photos! I had already made 3 double page layouts of the Cars characters and STILL had a ton of photos. That is until I finished this LO!!

Scrappin' in Detroit

November 21, 2009
Melissa's 40th Birthday Crop!! Wow, we had a wonderful time!! Several of us 'girls' from the Cricut board attended the crop and celebrated Melissa's monumental birthday!

Here is Kim and Sherry. Kim is a Michigander and a super sweetie and she had a little surprise for us..........................................SHE IS PREGNANT!! YAY!!!
Sherry is from Virginia and is absolutely one of the sweetest people you will EVER meet!! Love ya Sherry!!

Here is Cindy, she's comes to us from Pennsylvania. Cindy brought her daughter Stacie to the crop with her (she is a very sweet teenager!! no, that's not an oxymoron!) Cindy was the resident photographer at the crop. Hi Cindy!!!

Here is Tamara, a Detroit girl!! She just stopped by to see who all was there and to say Hi to everyone there! Tamara sells Close to My Heart goodies!! Hint, hint!!

Here is T-Nina, better known as 'The Queen' and 'The Most Beautiful Woman in the World'. Here she is sporting Melissa's tiara and sash and showing us how to properly wave. T is from Indiana.

Here is Laurie!! A true Southern Belle from deep in the heart of Texas!! Laurie was trying to get out of the shot but I still got her! Oh, I almost forgot. Laurie is SHY!! or at least that is what she says, the rest of us are not so sure about that!!

Another shot of Sherry. Doesnt she just look like the sweetest person ever?????

At last, the Birthday girl herself!! Melissa. or better known as EMA (Evil Melissa A*****) She will tell you that she 'knew' that I was coming to the crop, but I dont think she had ANY idea!! She was SHOCKED when she saw me!! Gotcha Melissa!!

And what does every 40 year old woman need??? A good stiff drink!! She had plenty!!

The Group shot! Tamara, Kim, Laurie, TNina, Stacy (me), Melissa, Sherry and Cindy!! What a wonderful group of women!!

I absolutely had a wonderful weekend. It was so much fun, I wish I could do it every year!!

On my way to Michigan!!

November 19, 2009
Today did NOT start out like I thought it would!! I got up at 4am, got ready, got to the airport by 5:30a and was getting ready for my 6:00 flight when the board showed our flight had been delayed until 6:50. Well ok, not too big of a deal. I went ahead got checked in and got settled into a very comfortable wing chair (not your standard chairs for an airport and the bathroom was......OMG very nice!! It had won awards!! Who would have thought that for such a small airport in Fort Smith, AR).
By 6:30 the flight had been delayed yet again, now it's an 8:30 flight to Memphis. I am getting tired of this already. I was supposed to catch my connecting flight in Memphis at 9!!! Back to the check in I go. The man in front of me got the last seat on a different flight. Great! I got sent to the AA counter and they were able to get me on their next flight to Dallas with a connecting flight to Detroit at 5:45. But on the bright side I did get bumped to first class!!

Finally in Dallas!! Now to just wait until 5:45 to get my connecting flight!

DFW airport is BUSY!! I was just a little more than bored waiting for the next flight. It would have been a lot better if I had someone there to talk to but I made it just fine. The flight to Detroit was good, I think I had 5 glasses of wine and was not concerned at all if the plane went down or not! That is great information for the next time I decide to fly on a tiny propeller plane!! More wine=less worry!
