Well it's been awhile!

We have had a lot going on as a family and as you will see from some of the pictures posted, that I especially have been busy.  I will be getting back to regular blogging.  I miss it and I will also be doing a few different things on here not just crafty.

1.  As you see in this picture we got a little more snow in February.

2.  I decided that I needed to have a female Boston Terrier.  So off we went to pick one out and came home with Izzy.  In this picture she is only 6 weeks old and I had to train her to go outside in the snow.  Not good planning on my part.  She is a bundle of fun and makes me smile and has tons of kisses to give.  She is now 12 weeks old and I will be posting a new picture soon.

3.  I had to let this big guy Riley who is 6, know that she is not to be eaten and will one day be a  playmate.  He is a good boy but a mommas boy and follows me everywhere.

4.  My days are spent looking into the beautiful eyes of this baby girl I babysit everyday.  She turned 6 months old today and has been sick so it has been rough around here.  I will be turning 43 next month and with 3 kids of my own that will soon be 21, 16 and 10 this takes a lot out of me.  I enjoy her but like giving her back to her mom.

That is it for tonight.  I have to work on a Red Fox wanted poster for my daughter in third grade and I need to eat, so goodbye for now and will be back soon.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday-

Hello everyone-

Life her in Va. Beach has been cold and rainy with a touch of snow this weekend.  My family lives in Northern VA and got between 30"-36" of snow.  Everyone is fine and shoveling.

I have been feeling under the weather this week with a cold and finally had my DH drop me off at the doctor last night.  It didn't take long to be seen and left with 3 weeks of antibiotics to take.  I have a sinus infectiona and fluid in both ears.  What fun.

Yesterday as a family we went out to dinner and later to the store to do some shopping.  This was my favorite purchase-

I love it.  We also purchased 3 boxes of different K-cups.  Hot Cocoa is the kids favorite.  I haven't picked mine yet.  I have to buy a My K-Cup so I can use my own coffee when friends come over but I absolutetly love it.

I will have time tomorrow to post a few cards that I made for challenges and I hope to get my Sure Cuts a-lot installed for my Cricuit so I can cut my templates I purchase from My Time Made Easy.  Lauren Meader is so creative and now my Cricuit can do the cutting for me.

See you all tomorrow and I hope your team won tonight.

Happy Sunday to Everyone:

First I want to show pictures of the snow we got yesterday in Va. Beach, VA.  We got about 6 inches where we live and that is a lot for a city that doesn't own any plows.

I love the how it looks outside before anyone gets out there to play in it.  Next are pictures of the cat and dog enjoying a day inside by the fire.

Next up are a few pictures of the kit I will be putting up in my etsy store later today.  You can get there by clicking here.

There are over 100 items in this kit, with enough cardstock to make 8 cards.  I hope you enjoy

Have a great weekend.

Happy Monday to all.  My first Valentine Card!

Happy Sunday Evening,

I was able to get my February Wallhaging done.  I will wait till the end of February when I take it down to send it off to be machine quilted.  Here is a picture of the finished top:

This hangs on the wall at the bottom of the stairs behind our front door.  I already have March - May made and quilted.  I will show them here on the first of every month.

I also made this wonder pound cake tonight for the family to snack on this week.  I put a few slices in the freezer so I can toast them with my morning coffee.  Yummy!

Hope all of you had a great weekend and I will be back tomorrow with a few Card Challenges from the weekend and the Mojo Monday Challenge.

Goodnight,

Happy Friday-

Thought I would share my last 2 POD (Picture of the Day). The first one is of our white boxer Riley curled up on our bed last night.  He blends right into our feather comforter.  As you can probably see in the photo he has transferred mud to the cover, because after cold weather comes the dreaded thaw and he brings in tons of mud from the back yard.

The next picture is a card I mad from the Coffee Kit by Mish Mash.  She makes up kits and sell them on Etsy.  I was one of the lucky ones and got this kit.

I am working today on my wallhanging will hopefully have a picture this weekend.

Enjoy your weekend.

Hello Everyone in Blog Land:

I have been MIA, but I have been doing a few things.  On our way home after Christmas we go across the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel to get from the Peninsula to Va. Beach where we live.  After you come out of the tunnel to the right you can see the ships in port at Norfolk Naval Station.  I took this picture and thought I would post it.  The words say everything:

I have also been living my word of the year-"DREAM".  I made this journal for everyday notes, websites, blogs and things I need to do and remember.

I also cleaned up my Scrap Space and put my ribbon in a vase I found downstairs.  It makes me smile when I look at it now it is so pretty.

I have also put together and have been keeping up with Project Life by Becky Higgins.  The purpose is to take a picture a day and journal about that day.  At the end of the year you have everything doucumented and done.  To fine out more about Project Life click here.

I will continue to give you updates on my Project Life as the days go by.

I am also working right now on a wall hanging for February.  I haven't done any quilting since last year and I still have the month of May up on the wall, so I thought I would at least get the top pieced for February

so that I can hang it up this year.  I will post a picture when I complete it. 

I will be putting hand sewn items and paper items up for sale this year that I have made so be on the look out.  They will either go on Etsy or Ebay.  I will let you know when I get enough made to post for sale.

Have a great evening-
