This is a photo of my scraproom before

the big move. As you can see I was a bit

cramped in this space and the lovely

wood paneling(great idea for any room!)

made the creative process really take flight!

The new scrap nook is much brighter and

has a lot more storage space. I will post a photo of the new nook after I have cleaned up a bit:)

all about!
German Chocolate Cake
from Cold Stone

fantastic girl friends:)

I think I need this.............


and all of the add-on kits. Is there
a time when an honest hobby turns
into a strange but lovely obsession?

Last night we went to
the WCF Symphony Orchestra's
Spring Pops concert, a showing of the
original Wizard of Oz with all music
played live by the symphony. It was
amazing!! The movie was shown in its
original form with an intermission. I have
seen this movie so many times I have it
memorized, but let me tell you, I saw things
that I have never seen before! The colors, the
songs, the munchkins, all were better than I
ever remembered! If you ever have a chance to see the movie,
or any good old movie like this, do it!! You will be so glad that you did:)

It's Wednesday & I am dog tired.......


Sure this photo was taken after we
had had Christmas Eve dinner at my
parents & we had opened presents, but
this is kind of how I feel today.......I wish
I had some presents to open now;)

If it's Tuesday.....


it's Real Housewives time!
This show is one of my gulitest pleasures. The drama is more than I can handle some
times, but it is so worth it!! I love the Orange County girls, but the New York ladies are too much not to love:)

Monday......kind of glad it's over.

What if the week started with Friday???
Wouldn't that just make everyone a bit
happier and excited to start the week?!
Anyway, Monday wasn't too bad, but I still
am not a fan! Better post tomorrow - I promise:)

Remember when life was this simple?
The toughest decision you had to make
was how you would dress your Super Star
Barbie:) Love Barbie & the fact that even
today she still makes me smile!!
Hope you have a Barbie kind of day!

When good days go so bad.......

how long does a Tuesday really need to be?
I ask this because this has been the longest day
ever!!!!!! Really, I have been dead tired & the hour
between 12 noon and 1:00 took about 6 days!
I am now on my way to school where I will be for
the next two hours.......Mandy I need you, a latte,
a giant cookie, & US magazine:)

Here's to another great season!! Go Cubs!!
