Ice, Ice go away

and i think it finally is! yeah! Now i love snow, as long as i can drive in it (and that is getting harder since i don't have the expedition!) but i hate ice. don't like to drive in it, you can't see it sometimes and it is just a pain in the butt! lol

ok, if you haven't checked out Tim Holtz's blog, GO THERE NOW. He did his 12 tags of christmas again this year and they are amazing. even if you don't get into tags, he has some really cool techniques (that have been around awhile (right shirley!) but he explains and makes it look real easy. very, very cool!

Been playing alittle with ps cs3. i have a long way to go. but here is a sample of something little i did. i can see mistakes and can't fix them, cause i really don't remember how i did it. lol but i will figure it out! and i have been reading pioneer woman's photo blog and it is really helping! go check it out if you haven't.




well, i had more typed out but good ole blooger took it away. ughhh. gotta go back to work.

Good Monday Morning

Had a great weekend! Hope you did too! (all one of you who reads this! lol)

I took off early thursday and took some food from the department to a coworker who lost her father earlier in the week. It feels good to help others out in there sad time. Then me and amanda hit the road to the ste gen. scrapbook store. She has a great store, just wish it wasn't quite that far!!!! I love her ellison die cut machine! i cut several cool things with it! I also bought stuff to make christmas cards, i hope i get that done. I am really gonna try this year.

Friday was busy getting everything for the kit club together. (i will get my pages on here SOON. i am setting my new computer up at home and it is taking me awhile! i have too much i WANT to do!!! lol) I thought the pages turned out really pretty, theres not much you can do to that little yellow bicycle paper to make it ugly!!!! lol I also found out why we will no longer be able to have the crops at the library, They are moving!!! There new building will be in the old freds/walmart building. Now that will be different. Riverside has been there as long as i have been alive! But there may be hope in a room available somewhere and i am checking that out. So for the January crop, we may have a 'field day' crop and head up to ste gen and go to O'Dears and then to Stella's for lunch and then hit the stamping store. sounds like fun, huh! i'll let ya know what i come up with.

Friday night was marks christmas party and we got our free product. that is always fun, free stuff is always fun!

Saturday was the crop and then me and markie took Chloe girl to see santa at petco. She was so excited just to get out! she was a mess. I was dissappointed in the way they did the santa thing this year. very unorganized and just standing around. I'm sure they knew how i felt by the time i left. but it was bad, lol. I finally had to ask the walking around (and he had been for about 20 minutes) if i could take chloe's picture with him adn i did. as soon as i was done someone rushed up to me and gave me a paper to go to the register to pay 8.95. which i did not mind, it went for a good cause, but the way she did it pissed me off. no one bother to even acknowledge we were standing there oviously (sp) waiting to get out picture taken until i did it myself, then she wanted money. so i paid BUT they were suppose to take chloe's picutre for th 8.95 and she acted like i was crazy cause i wanted her take chloe's picture since i had already did it with my camera. I told her i paid for it, i wanted it. then they weren't gonna give me the treat bag, until i asked for it. Markie said i shouldn't of paid and just left, but i know it went for a good cause and i wanted to support it, but dang it's hard sometimes!

saturday night we went to my christmas party. good meal, good friends, good beer. lol it was alot of fun seeing some friends i hadn't seen in awhile.

sunday Noah came over and stayed with auntie markie and grandma while mom and dad went to winery's with their friends. I also went to a friends daughters baby shower. It was really nice and i had a great time. Krista got a lot of nice things too!

and in between all that, i have gotten half way thru the first book of twillight. awesome book. can't wait to get the next one, and the next and the next. now i may have to go back and watch the movie again. it is just too much to absorb! but oh so good!
