HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE TO ALL!
As you can see from the time of this post we are not doing anything exciting for New Years eve. Rob is sitting in his new recliner, Andrew is watching TV with dad and I am on my computer updating everyone about my neck and checking emails!! WOOHOO what an exciting life we lead..LOL
We wish you all the best New Year wishes ever! Have a safe and fun night!

MRI RESULTS

So I was finally able to schedule an appointment with my Dr. to get the results of my MRI!
Well today my Dr. called me to let me know that he is scheduling me to see a surgeon. I was a bit shocked by this because I have not even had my apt. with him. He said that he took a look at my MRI results and decided that I have a (his words here) HUGE BULGING DISC in my neck that is pushing on the nerves in my neck and causing the pain and numbness. He does not feel that physical therapy would do any good and that surgery will be the only way to fix this. I kinda chuckled because he was the one that said I would have to FAIL PHYSICAL THERAPY before he would even consider sending me to a surgeon!! Well I guess I must have FAILED before I even went!!
So now I have an appointment scheduled for January 20 with the Orthopedic Surgeon to discuss what we will do to fix my neck. I am a bit freaked out by the whole idea, but I know that I can not live my life the way I am now. I will keep you all updated as info comes to me!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!
I am so totally in the Christmas mood! I dont know why but this time of year makes me want to bake yummy treats and be nice to people that I normally would not be nice to!! LOL
From my family to yours we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Safe New Year!!

MRI WENT WELL

The MRI went pretty well today! All that worrying for nothing..LOL!
We showed up an hour early..not sure why! So we decided to go down to the cafeteria and have a snack. The snack turned into a full meal, their food was so good! That wasted about 45 minutes! So we went back up to the Radiology department and they were ready for me! The whole thing took about 20 minutes. I didn't even have to undress for it. By the end of the 20 minutes I was in so much pain from laying on my back that I had to take a few pain killers and a muscle relaxer just to be able to move. All in all I think I did pretty good. They didn't have to stop the test, I worked threw the pain I was feeling and tried to ignore it. I knew that if I make them stop it will just take longer!
So now I have to try and get an apt. with my DR. so I can find out the results. This part could take a while. I was told that I needed to make an apt. for the 29th to see my DR. for the follow up. Well, when I called to make my apt. they said that they didn't have any available apts. left and that I would have to wait until at least January 5th. I am trying very hard to stay calm and not over react about this. I know that they are busy this time of year and really I have waited now almost 6 months with the pain, I can wait a bit longer! SEE...I am EVOLVING!! LOL
I will let everyone know what I find out when I find out!! Thanks for your continued prayers and well wishes!

2DAY IS THE DAY!!

Well, It has been almost a month since I was told that I can finally get an MRI of my neck and shoulder. Today is the day!!! My appiontment is at 1:00 and I am a bit nervous. I am not sure I will be able to lay still long enough for them to complete the test. The last time I had one done it was on my lower back and I was able to stay still for the whole process but I was not in pain then. This time I am not sure..I can not even stay still laying in bed. Maybe they will have to give me a muscle relaxer or something. Oh well we will see...wish me luck!

TOTALLY BUMMED!!!

Well I am totally bummed! Nathan has been gone for almost 2 whole days now and it is so boring around here without him. Yesterday he freaked me out by not answering his phone or returning texts. I must have sent him a dozen...poor mommy!!
Anyway he finally sent me a text this morning telling me that he didnt look at his phone at all yesterday...the kid that has his phone hooked to his side at all times!!! I guess he is having fun or something like that!
I will try to call him later today or at least text him. I am sure he is busy doing whatever it is they do there>>LOL
I sure do miss that stinker when he is gone!

Wii Reaction

As you can see from the picture, the reaction to getting a Wii for Christmas was GREAT!!! I am telling you they stayed like that for almost an entire 5 minutes...it was GREAT!! Then once the initial shock wore off Andrew got up and started jumping around like a wild man. We could not get him to put the box down for almost 30 minutes. We had them believing that that was all they were getting..no game to play just the Wii itself. They did not seem to mind very much..LOL! Then we started giving them the accessories and then a game! MORE SHOCKED LITTLE FACES!!! About 20 minutes into this we finally gave them the Guitar Hero's world tour box to open! Andrew screamed so loud! He was so excited. That is all he has been talking about for such a long time. It was really such a special night! We did however make them stay at Margii's for over an hour. They just kept asking when we would be going home so they could get everything set up!! We are so cruel...LOL

The Secret is Almost Reveled!!

I am so excited for tonight. We have been keeping a secret from the boys for almost a month now and it is killing me not to be able to tell them!! Our Landlord (who is like family to us) bought the boys a Wii for Christmas....WOOOOHOOOO!!! Since Nathan is going to his dad's on Saturday for the Christmas break she decided that we would get together tonight and exchange gifts so he would have 2 days to play with it! The boys have been asking for a Wii for over a year now and we truly do not have the money to buy one ourselves. I was in shock when Rob told me that she was getting them this gift. I told him that I didn't think we should except it because it is such an expensive gift. Of course he told me that she was not going to take NO for an answer.
So now the day is here!!! This morning after I took the boys to school Rob and I went over and dropped off all the Wii accessories that we bought for them for Christmas so they would not see us bringing a huge box of stuff over there tonight. This is going to be GREAT!!! I will post some pictures tomorrow if I remember to bring my camera with me...LOL

Day 2 Of This Freezing Weather!

GOOD LORD IT IS COLD OUTSIDE!!!
Last night it got all the way down to -19 degrees! I don't think it hit more than 7 degrees today! It is nice and toasty warm at 70 degrees in my house..which I am sure I will scream when I get my electric bill! The last one was $195 and it was'nt even cold yet! I love the way the snow looks outside, I just wish it didn't have to be so cold to get that way...LOL!
I was on my way to picking up Nathan from school today and got stuck coming up the hill by his school..TWICE!!! I am pretty sure that I left 1/2 my tire tread on that road. I just kept spinning my tires. I finally decided that I should try to get out by turning the wheel to the left and hitting the gas while in low, then turning the wheel to the right and I kept doing this until I finally got loose....only to have the moron in front of me stop so I ended up getting stuck again! This one was a bit easier to get out of. I of course will not go that way again when the roads are icy! I will just have to go the long way from now on!

BRRRR.....BABY IT's COLD OUTSIDE!!!

WOW!!! I stepped outside this morning to pick Nathan up from Ian's birthday party and got the shock of a lifetime! It was 3 degrees outside and about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground. I have not watched the news for several days so I had no idea what the weather was going to be like!! I hate to drive on the freeway when it is icy, I don't think I made it much past 40 mph! But it sure looks beautiful from my front window!!

Busy Making Cards








I have been so busy making cards that my eyes are about to cross! This is my busy time of year in the Greeting Card Buissness. I have been filling card orders like crazy the last few weeks. I have to finish up an order for 20 personalized cards and then start on all the cards for Rob's employees, teacher gifts and cards for us to send out! I will apologize now for those of you that do not receive a card from us this year...I hope to not overlook anyone, but I am not perfect!!

This is a sampleing of some of the cards that people are ordering. You can find more at ScrappersBuzz.com.


It's been a while

WOW!!! How time flies when you are having fun...at least that is what I am told!
I know it has been what.. 12 days since I last posted anything on here! I have been caught up in the Christmas hustle and bustle! Yesterday Rob and I spent the entire day shopping for the last of the Christmas gifts! We went just about everywhere! Places we normally do not shop at because they said they were having a sale. Well after looking around the entire store we realized that we could get the same things at WalMart or Target for the exact same price. Have I told you how much I hate shopping...LOL!
Anyway we are completely done!!!! I mean we are so done all the way down to the stocking stuffers! So now we can relax a bit and try and get everything wrapped.
Nathan will not be home for Christmas so it will be really strange this year! I am not sure how I will take him being gone for Christmas. I just have to keep telling myself it is only for 12 days or something like that and I will be fine..LOL
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

STATE CHAMPIONS!!!!






















WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! They did it...They won the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
It was a very cold and snowy day! The game started right on time at 11:00. Everyone in the stadium was very excited...not just the players I mean everyone! The place was ELECTRIC!!! You would have thought that the Broncos were playing!
The game was going along really well, we were ahead in points until almost the end of the 4th quarter! They had kicked us an on side kick and our # 7 (Nick) missed the ball and one of their players grabed it and ran it in for a touchdown and then a 2 point conversion. We were now down by 4 points and only 29 seconds to go in the game! Everyone on our side of the stadium was completely silent. I know I personally was praying like I had never prayed before. 19 seconds to go in the game and #13 (Parker) got the ball and ran 56 yards for a TOUCHDOWN!!!! Of my lord you would have thought the place was on fire there was so much screaming and people hugging and crying!! It was a magical moment. We then went for our extra point which made the score 38-31. We then kicked the ball to them and they almost got another touchdown but their quarterback threw the ball to far and missed his target!!! WE HAD WON THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
Of course there were pictures taken and cameras filming everything. It was a very special moment that I am proud to say my son was a part of!!!
I can not wait to see what next years team has to offer!

Neck Update

Update on my neck and shoulder!
I went to the Dr. again on Monday and was seen by the Sports Medicine DR. this time. He did an exam of my neck and shoulder, asked a bunch of questions, took a look at my new x-rays and decided that I will need to have an MRI. So I finally have an apt. for my MRI on December 23 @ 1:00. He did seem a bit concerned while looking at my x-rays but never really told me what he thought the problem might be. He did mention that depending on the results of my MRI I may need to have surgery and that I will definitely need physical therapy. So I am a month away from finding out what has been causing me so much pain.
I will keep you updated!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I sure hope that everyone is having a great Thanksgiving! I am currently at my sisters house enjoying my family's company! The boys are playing cards, Rob is cooking, and the rest of us are watching football. The smell of Turkey and cinnamon fills the air. We are having a great time.
Here's to the turkey being moist, the potato's being smooth and your pants having elastic.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Update

So I went to the Dr. on Thursday for my very first apt. regarding my neck and shoulder situation. It went pretty well. I really like the Dr. that I will be seeing. He is very nice, has a great sense of humor and listened to everything I told him! That is always a PLUS!!!
He asked me a bunch of questions, examined my neck and shoulder and decided that after looking at my x-rays that I had brought with me, he wanted to have more x-rays taken by his team. So Friday we went to the X-ray place and had 5 more x-rays taken. I have another apt. on Monday to see a Sports Medicine DR. He will have looked at the new x-rays and decide what to do from there. So I still have no idea what is wrong with me but at least I am getting closer to an answer.
I will keep you up to date!

13 and 0 it's OFF TO STATE WE GO!





I am so excited! The boys won their third and final playoff game today!!! So they are now 13 - 0!!! We are now headed to the STATE Finals!!! That game will be held on Saturday November 29th at INVESCO FIELD (Broncos Stadium) We are all so excited but I am sure that Nathan and the rest of the team is even more excited than we can imagine! To have the opportunity to dress in the Broncos dressing rooms and then to step onto the same field that they play on...what a wonderful memory that will last a lifetime! I already have our tickets to the game...I might be a bit excited!! LOL

GOOOOOOOO FARMERS!!!!

The Big Day

Tomorrow is the Big day!! I finally get to see a DR. about my neck and shoulder. I have my x-ray's and letter from my chiro in my hot little hands and I am ready!! I know that they will not be able to "FIX" the problem at tomorrow's apt. but at least it is a start! I am scheduled for a "new patient" apt. so who knows what all that will mean. I am sure something along the lines of weight, height, last period, how many births...etc! All the boring stuff. But I hope that I will be able to convince them that I need an MRI! And they will schedule one for me...LOL! Wish me luck!

Feeling a Bit Crafty!

I was feeling a bit crafty yesterday so I decided that I should get around to making some Thanksgiving Cards! I only had the energy to make two..LOL I made one for my Chiro and one for Andrew's teacher! I sure hope that they like them. Enjoy~~

Another boring Monday!

Another boring Monday here in beautiful Colorado! The weather has been amazing for November. Usually we have had at least one good snowfall by this time in the month. Today's high was 75 in my neighborhood! I am told that tomorrow will be the same if not higher. I am sure that a big storm is on the way...but when.
I didn't get anything accomplished today. Well just the normal Monday stuff..kids to school, chiropractor, pick kids up from school...that was it! Nathan did not have practice today so it was nice not having to go back out and get him. They have their last playoff game scheduled for Saturday @1:00. It is against Dakota Ridge, whom we crushed the last time we played them. So I am hope full that we can do it again. If we can than it is off to the State Games @ Invesco Field on the 29th!!!! I am so excited about having Nathan step onto the field where the Big Boy's play!
GO FARMERS

12-0 One More To Go!

WOOHOO!! 12 and 0 and only one more game to go before the State Finals! I am so excited that the team is doing so well. We are having a blast going to all the games. Last night was a bit cold (28 degrees) for me, but I sucked it up and enjoyed myself.
It was a pretty exciting game. The final score was 28-13 or something like that. All but 2 of our games we have scored at least 50 or more points. So it goes without saying that the games are getting tougher. They have one more playoff game and then it is off to the State Championship. That game will be played at Invesco Stadium @ Mile High..where the Broncos play! How exciting is that, to play on the same field as the Broncos!!
GO FARMERS!!!

Letters to Santa




So I was given a task by my husband and a co worker at his work to make a "Letter's to Santa" mail box. We had come up with the idea to make an igloo the goes over the top of the mailbox. Unfortunitly I could not find styrofoam that was big enough for the project!
So this is the idea that we decided to go with. My hubby painted the pole and stand with a spray paint that is very simular to Pazzles Blue..LOL (pole is PVC pipeing). Then I took it home and went to town with my Pazzles. I cut everything with my Pazzles. The snowflakes that have the ACE Hardware logo cut into it, the swirls for the pole that the snowflakes hang from, the lettering, the Santa (file by LOVE MY ZOMBIE)..Everything! I even made icecycles that hang from the sides of the mail box (can not really see them in photos)!
So from us to you...a very early MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

SICK AS A DOG

Oh my word I am SICK AS A DOG today!
My sweet Andrew caught a cold (most likely from school) last week and has been sharing with everyone...LOL! Rob caught it on Saturday. I am sure sitting in the cold watching the football game did not help. He is worse off than I am, he has just about lost his voice. I have a runny nose and just feel all run down! I am hopeing that Nathan does not get it or he will have a hard time playing football on Friday.
Well I am off to find some OJ and chicken soup for everyone!

Ready for a Change!

As I have said before this years election was the first time EVER that I have voted in my 38 years. I have never been one to watch CNN or follow any type of election coverage. I have always felt that my vote would not count, that they put who they want into the White House no matter what.
I have been moved by this years election. I watched all the TV coverage, followed all the debates and paid close attention to everything everyone said. There is something special about this election. Not just the sex of the canidates or color of their skin, but for the first time I truely believe that this will be the year that something will really be changed for the better. My family has been strugling with money issues and health issues just like everyone else, having to make the choice between paying a bill or going to the DR. And I feel that maybe in the near future that will not be an issue or not as big of an issue.
I look forward to what the future holds for this wonderful country! Thank you for these wonderful words President Elect Obama "Not a red state, not a blue state, but the UNITED STATES."

11 and 0


WWWWWWOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!

Well the Wheat Ridge boys have done it again! Last night they beat Rock Canyon 59-27 in the first playoff game. It was such an exciting game. Nothing beats watching a game of football on a Friday night under the bright lights! The weather was very cold and we each had about 3 or 4 layers of clothes on but it was worth it. Next week we will be going on to game #2 against Fountain Ft. Carson. I am looking forward to it. This time I will bring more hot chocolate!!

Friday, November 7, 2008

I GOT IT!!!

WOOHOO
I am so freakin excited! I was able to get CICP for me and my hubby! The lady that did our aplication was so nice and fun to work with. Andrew was extemely well behaved..I was so proud of him. I know it was hard for me to sit still for over 2 hours so it had to be even worse on him.
I have an appointment on November 20th to finally see a DR. About my neck and shoulder. I know that this will be a long process but at least we are on our way to finding out what is really going on in my body. And hopefully in a month or so I will be up and running again! The last 2 days I have been in so much pain that all i can do is just lay around with my hot water bottle. My house looks as if something has exploded. I REALLY REALLY need to clean it.
Tonight is Nathan's (the team's) first playoff game so I have been resting my neck so I will be able to go without suffering too much (I HOPE) If he plays in one play he will automatically letter in Football! Of course we are excited about this. Hopefully we can get the score up really high so everyone can play.
~~ G O F A R M E R S ~~

Wish me Luck

Well tomorrow is the day...
I have an apt. in the morning to see if I can qualify to get CICP. CICP is a program that helps people pay for medical issues that come up. We do not have any insurance so we just do not go to the doctor unless it is really an emergency. If we qualify for this program then I can finally get the help I need to find out what is going on with my neck and shoulder. I have been dealing with this now for almost 5 months. I have not been able to do much of anything for any length of time. Driving, sitting, walking,it is all painful. It does not seem to want to go away on its own and my Chiropractor is just about out of ideas on how to help me. My spine (neck) seems to be getting a little better, I mean I can move my neck now without too much spinal pain. My shoulder however seems to be getting worse. Last night was the first time in 2 weeks that I could sleep in my own bed and not on the couch. I have been told by my Chiro and the DR. that i see at a clinic that I MUST have an MRI, but I do not have an extra $900 laying around. CICP will help me pay for Dr. apts an MRI, even surgery if I find out that's what I need.
So keep your fingers crossed that we qualify!

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!
Well I hope that everyone had a great Halloween!
We had the best day today! It started with a party at Andrew's school. All the kids got to dress up in their costume's and then have a parade around the school to show off how cute..or scary they looked! After the parade each classroom had their own class party. I volunteered Rob and I to help out in the classroom. I made cupcakes that each kid could decorate with sprinkles and put together some "goody bags" that included candy, a pencil, tattoos, and some playdough! Other parents brought some veggies (EWW) and juice. They seemed to have a great time!
This was Rob's first year off for Halloween since we met s the boys were pretty excited about TRICK or TREATING!! See, Rob loves to dress up for Halloween and scare the crap out of little kids. He usually is the only one at work who dresses up and then stands at the front of the store and scares people as they come up to the door. But this year Halloween fell on his day off!
After dinner we got our costumes on and headed to the best neighborhood on earth for trick or treating! They have a bunch of houses that participate and they give out a lot of candy per kid. Rob of course was in seventh heaven! He was scaring just about every kid out tonight. He made kids stop in their tracks and turn around and go the other direction!! It was GREAT!!! He even got a few adults to scream.
Once Andrew's bag was full we went to our old neighbors house to say hello (we had not seen them since we moved..bad us!) It was nice seeing them and catching up.
What a great day had by all. It sure was one to remember!

MY FIRST VOTE!!!!!




WOOHOOOO!!!!
I voted for the first time in my 38 years!
I am so excited about the whole election process this year . I have never been one to get into politics. I find the whole thing a bit dull. A bunch of people telling you the lies that you want to hear and never actually doing any of the stuff they promise you. I have always had the mentality of, my vote wont count anyway!
Well this year I totally got into it! I started really paying attention to what everyone was saying...or not saying!! I listened and read about all of the Amendments and watched all the debates.
I got a bit worried when my mail in ballot did not show up at the same time as my husbands. When it finally got here I looked it over very carefully and made my choices with a lot of thought behind it.
Today as we got ready to go drop our ballots off at the polling place (not taking any chances with mailing them in) I made sure to snap a picture of us with our envelopes. We drove 20 minutes out of our way and gently handed the guy working there our envelopes with our secret inside. He handed us our "I voted today" stickers and we drove off...feeling very proud!!!
So hopefully everyone will get out and vote if you haven't already!

HE DID IT!!

I am so freakin proud of my hubby!! He just found out that he passed his Algebra class. He has worked so hard on his school work and was a bit nervous about taking his final. It was almost 1am by the time he was done, but he passed the class and hopefully he will not have to take Algebra ever again..LOL
Way to go Baby..I am so PROUD of YOU!!!

My Birthday Gift from My Boys!

While my husband and I were at my sisters house last night doing his algebra final my sweet boys were home making me this beautiful card and cleaning up the living room for my birthday gift!! They know that I love to have my house cleaned for my birthday...better than anything you can buy! They are so sweet! My youngest wanted to take me to the store the next day to buy me some paper for my birthday...which of course is my second favorite gift!!

What a great birthday!!!

Card for Cindy!

My nieces birthday was on the 19th this month so my sister asked me to make her a card for her 28th birthday! I think it turned out pretty nice! I used my Pazzles Inspiration to make the card (just playing around with some welding tools). Then I had my machine cut two different patterned papers for the front. I also cut the words and the flowers with my PI! Added some cute ribbon and there ya go a cute card!

A Few Pages For My Birthday!!




Well I woke up this morning to Andrew singing me HAPPY BIRTHDAY right in my face!! I love that!! He loves to sing and is pretty good at it I must say!
So ...I made it to 38!! Good Lord that seemed so old a few years back. Now although I am feeling a bit old ( the way my body is falling apart) I realize that 38 is not so bad. For years I would tell people that I was 25, but now 13 years later I must admit defeat and tell them that yes, I really am 38!
Not much happening for my birthday. Andrew, Nathan and Rob made me a cake and everyone sang to me. Nothing exciting as far as gifts. I usually buy what I want anyway...LOL (why have to wait a whole year to get what you want)
So I was invited to go to Archivers to meet up with a few lady's from one of my Yahoo groups yesterday for a crop. As I was going through some pictures and deciding what I wanted to bring with me I got a bit carried away! I ended up staying home and just cropping by myself. I have not made a scrapbook layout for a while with ScrappersBuzz.com taking off so I totally got in the mood and could not stop myself! Above are the two layouts that I made. I used my Pazzles to make all the embellishments...LOVE THAT MACHINE!! It is so freeing to not have to buy all my embellishments anymore. I know I spent a lot on my machine, but in the long run it will save me tons of money on embellishments. I mean I can make anything I want with it, including my own rubber stamps! HOW COOL IS THAT!

A fast week!

Well this week has went by pretty fast considering I have not done much of anything!! I had such a hectic week last week that I guess my body decided that I needed to slow down a bit.
I have the go ahead from Andrew's teacher for the Halloween party at school! I have filled all 20 of the goody bags and have some kind of idea what snack we will be bringing. Rob and I will most likely be dressing up in costumes. Kinda fun scaring kids!!
The varsity team won their game on Friday and let me tell you it was TENSE!!! I was so tired when we got home from all the screaming and jumping up and down that I did..LOL! Unfortunately Jr. Varsity lost in a major way today!! Only one game left for each! Varsity has already gotten their spot in the playoff games..WOOHOO! GO FARMERS!!!

MY BOY LETTERED!!!!!!!


WOOO-HOOOO!!!
I am so excited! I received an invitation to my oldest son's school for the Academic Achievement Awards for this morning. So we got up early this morning and got ready for this event. I will be honest I thought it was going to be kinda dull.. lets face it most school events are! To my great surprise I was wrong..I don't admit that very often but this time I must.
We arrived at the school and walked in and they had a table set up with a bunch of large envelopes organized by names. My son got his envelope and we were told to go into the auditorium and find a seat. The students sat on one side and the parents sat on the other. He gave me the envelope and took off to sit with his friends...big surprise! I opened the envelope and to my GREAT SURPRISE was a Letterman's letter !! A huge W R plain as day. I called him over to show him and wanted to burst out of my seems with pride. He lettered for his GPA! I am so proud of him!! He also received a silver medal and a paper award! They were doing a drawing at the end of the service for gift cards and low and behold he also got a $10.00 gift card to Starbucks!!
Now I get the joy of going to the store to pick out his Letterman's jacket. The football coach told him that if they go to State that if he plays in just one play he will letter in football too!
I of course wanted to smooch him and hug him to show him how proud I am of his amazing accomplishments but I didn't want to embarrass him in front of his friends. SO I told him that after practice today he is fair game for all the hugs and love I want to bestow on him...LOL
WAY TO GO MY SWEET BOY!!!!

Wednesday, October 15, 2008

On my way!



Pretty boring day today. I feel like a taxi driver with all the back and forth driving that I do! Next year my oldest son will be getting his drivers permit and I will have to grit my teeth to teach him to drive...WOW!
I have been uploading cards like crazy to ScrappersBuzz.com. I do hope that it takes off pretty soon. I have been having trouble sitting for long periods of time so making cards has been an issue for me. I hope to be back up and running soon. I am tired of feeling like crap!

Sunday, October 5, 2008

My first post!

Well..
This is my first post! I am really excited about having a blog where my friends and family can come see what I have been up to!
Not really sure what I will be doing with my blog, but you will have to keep checking back to see!
