My new blog

Photobucket



I started a new blog. I know, another 1? I've decided to do the 365 project. I'll be taking a photo a day. I prob won't get to add 1 everyday. I might add a few at a time. You all know how much I love photos & I pretty much take pics everyday anyway. A few girls on a Cafemom group are also taking the challenge with me. I have their blogs on my list of Blogs I'm following. Please check out their blogs too & leave them comments. I'll be starting tomorrow, New years day.

New things this year


I got into a few new things this year. The main 1 was scrapbooking. I'm also starting to get crafty & want to get into making cards & stamping. I'd love to get into some crafting groups & meet some new people & maybe sell some of the stuff 1 day online. I also got into vintage stuff this year. Also getting mags from the library. I'm a magazine junky, so I'm having lots of fun with it. My fave new thing from this year was starting a blog & blog surfing. The bad thing is that almost every blog I look at, I love. So have like 200 blogs saved to check out. I've met a lot of really nice blogger friends this year.

holiday party

I went to a holiday party in the Newcomer's club. The house was really nice & up for sale. I just found some pics of it online. The house is only $600,000+. Anyone interested? haha. This house has 4 bedrooms & 3 & 1/2 bathrooms. I know I sometimes complain about the snobby W. people, but it is fun hanging out at mansions & a lot of the people I've met are really nice. I've only actually been to 1 mansion so far & this awesome house. I'm hoping someday I can feature different houses in my town in my blog.

Valentine swap


I'd love to do a Valentine swap. Does anyone know if there's any going on? Maybe I can host it if no one is having 1. I know it's early, but wanting to start planning for it. I've never done 1, so I don't really know how it works.
Oh, I thought I'd add to this blog. It's kind of like the Christmas swaps that people were doing. I was bummed out that I missed out on them. We can swap Valentine things. I know they have a lot of cute heart things out for V'tine's day. We could swap cute notepads, nailpolish, candles etc.. We would somehow each get 1 person to swap with. That's the part I'm not sure how it would work. I guess it depends on how many people decide to do it.

gifts & after X-mas things

I got this s'book stuff from my old roomie, Renee & a few things from my sis

My friend Peg in VA sent me this awesome shirt. I love it. I'd love to make a pillow out of it someday.
upclose
I got this bag to carry my s'booking stuff when I go to the s'booking club. I got a $30 gift card to Target. That's what I got with it.


I got these wicker baskets at X-mas tree shop. I got some more different 1s for my closet to put my clothes in.

Happy eve of the eve


We're getting ready for Christmas. Just a little bit more of wrapping to do. Tara is sick with a cold & coughing & has a drippy nose. So she's been real grumpy. Hubs is getting out of work early tomorrow & getting the food for Thursday. We have friends coming over to exchange presents tomorrow night. We're gonna just order a pizza since we're cooking & having family over on X-mas day. We're making homemade manicottis for X-mas day. I'll be making pretzel hugs tomorrow. I got the candy cane Hershey kisses. They are soooooo good. I'm gonna use them for the hugs. I'll really be glad when it's all over.

pajama day

Today we had a pajama day. We both stayed in our pjs all day. It was fun. This icicle was outside hanging over our deck this morning.

I figured since we were having a pj day we'd have breakfast for lunch. That's egg nog.

You should have seen me walking down our crazy hill driveway, that's covered in snow, in my striped pjs & my spiffy new boots & coat & scarf, to get the mail. I was hoping none of the neighbors would be out. Whew, I didn't see anyone. These are some of the X-mas cards we got so far.

I made some X-mas place setting cards. I know, they didn't come out too great. Hey, I'm new to being crafty. I might add something to them. Just not sure what yet.

I wrapped some X-mas presents while T was napping & she unwrapped a few of them when she got up. Ugh.

At Circuit city. I got a new printer. yay. I haven't had 1 for a year now.
