Here comes December...

Hard to believe it's the last day of November!

Sorry I've been a bad blogger. I took the week off work and did a whole lot of nothing!

If anyone still wants to guest post on your holiday traditions, I have three more Thursdays. I know December is very busy and I'm just giving this a try!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

It consists of:

The right side:
I made two mini albums to incorporate all my photos. 




Attention scrappers, part 2

So I am heading to my desk to put together a scrap kit from my stash.  I am going to participate in THIS CHALLENGE.  Heather and Kelly would love to have some participation. I hope you will join in!

My challenge to myself is to get some page kits put together with what I have.

I hope to play along with COUNTERFEIT KIT CHALLENGE in December.

What are you working on?
Jump in and happy scrapping.

Arrrrgh!

I took yesterday off work, intending to spend the day with the Mr, but that didn't happen. I did get a little scrapbooking and reading done. I also played with a new photo editing program and posted THIS on my photo blog. I also got to take and pick up Little Miss from school.

So...the Mr and I had our anniversary dinner at Applebees last night. The food was ok, the company fantastic and the margarita...well, wow! It was potent and quite delicious.

I have a photo shoot scheduled with a lovely family for this afternoon, using the storefront windows. Currently....it is raining! I am going to start my anti-raindance shortly. It can rain after about 5.... I have a couple of umbrellas if we must use them (that's not very chirstmas card-like). I may call a couple of the stores and see if we can use the interiors.

Other than that, we don't have much planned for the weekend. Yea!

Have a super weekend!

Another year

Happy 16th anniversary to the Mr.!!  Here's to many more great years, I love you!

The weather looks to be better today than it was 16 years ago (we got a foot of snow).

Greetings

Hello friends! Today is 11/12/13....

The vertigo passed, only to be followed by a cold. I am still fighting that and feels a little crummy. I hope to be feeling a little more human in a couple more days...

I hope you had a great weekend. Ours passed in a blur!

I worked Saturday then went grocery shopping.

Sunday, we raked leaves for 3 hours in the morning. Little Miss and I went to see our local theater company's production of Annie. It was good and a fun afternoon.

Yesterday left us with our first snow of the season, a little dusting but everything is white and frozen. I am not ready for winter yet!

Take care and I'll blog soon.


Pssssst...it's Chicago Fire night!

Ugh...here we go again

Another bout with vertigo!

I hate the feeling of spinning and my body being out of control.

Coming "soon"

I am anxious to see this in the spring

Watching the trailer made me teary eyed.

Friday Fun

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!
(Where is this year going?!)
 
 
In my "about me", I promised the story behind this picture...so - here it is!
 
Mr. and I went to Vegas for our anniversary in 2008. One of the casinos we went to one evening had the Chippendales walking (ok - STRUTTING) around the casino floor, taking pictures with people (ok - WOMEN!). Mr. asked if I wanted to...ah - no thanks!  A little too much beauty and oil for my liking. Don't get me wrong, they were easy on the eyes but I enjoyed from a distance and with their pants on.
 
On our way out of the casino, we walked by this GIANT wall... My Mr. told me to "pose" with these dancers.
 
He still laughs when he see this picture. (Ok - I smile too...)
 
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!
