5 Out of 100

Since this blog is newer for me I thought it might be fun to list 5 things about me as a way to introduce myself.... I will be adding posts like this every once in a while.

Here it goes:

1. I am a mother of 2 beautiful girls. There names are Emma (11) and Kaitlyn (8) They are so much fun but a lot of work. They make me laugh all the time. They are really messy. They have each other and I am grateful for that. I don't know what I would do without MY sister. I hope they realize what they have and hang on to it with both hands.



2. I am married to my best friend Sean. We met each other when we worked nights at Wells Fargo years ago. He is very considerate. He also makes me laugh (A LOT) which is probably where my kids get it. He loves sports and poker. We have a lot in common, like we both enjoy weird movies and just relaxing at home. We both love to play video and board games. We are both very competitive. When meeting Sean you would never guess these things because he comes off as quiet and conservative. He isn't in to politics (neither am I). He is very clever and likes to play practical jokes. He is the best!!



3. I actually really enjoy my job. (for the most part) I work at a local credit union. It is very small and in a great neighborhood. I enjoy the members that come in and chat. They really make my day so much easier. I learn so much about people and they make me laugh. I feel like some are great friends. I know what is going on in some of there lives and they ask about mine. I am very social. Coming from a job previously where every one is always screaming and yelling at you it is a relief. There are a few things I would change about the job going on behind the scenes but for the most part I really like it.


4. I LOVE food but hate to cook. This is a good and bad thing. I really enjoy all different kinds of food and my husband is a wonderful cook. He doesn't realize the talent he has. I always tell him we should open a restaurant. The bad thing is it makes me fat! I have no self control when it comes to good food. Especially pizza and sweets (my favorites). I really hate cooking though so if Sean isn't around I am pretty lazy about feeding myself.  

5. I call my mom everyday. I really do. If I don't call my mom everyday she wonders if something is wrong. Like I said in an earlier post she really is the best. I look foreword to calling her and she always is very encouraging and helpful. She would do anything for us and my kids adore her. She is creative and we like a lot of the same girly movies. She is a strong woman and has set a wonderful example for me and my sister. I couldn't have asked for a better mom and hope she realizes how much I appreciate all she does for me. Not everyone has the same relationship with their mom and I am fortunate to have the one I have with my mom.
This post is really long... Sorry about that. 
Have a great day!!

Oldies but Goodies

I haven't had much time to care for my poor little blog lately so today I am going to share some cards I made a while ago but haven't shared here before. In hopes this will make me feel better about not posting. Hopefully I will get some time to do a few crafty things this weekend. Here we go:



 Have a great day!!!

Yay..Some crafting time...finally!!

I finally had a little time to myself today so I made a couple cards to share. I recently bought the create a critter Cricut cartridge and I have to say it is a lot of fun! I have sorta neglected my Cricut since I got it a few years ago. The poor thing. I have found new love for it though with this cartridge. I also used my new Tiny Tags set from Papertrey Ink and I am in LOVE with this set! There are so many options! 
Here are two of the cards I made:


Hope you all are having a great weekend!!

Still here...

Life has been a little crazy lately! My husband started a new job a few weeks ago so our schedule is a little different and is causing me to be a little off. I have also had my sisters kids for the weekend. She has 4 little cuties, add that to my 2 girls and that makes 6 kids!!! I have been working on a few projects but have not had the time to take photos. I am hoping to get them up this week. Just wanted to let you all know that I am still here and hope to have some eye candy for you soon. Have a great night!

Goal #1....Check!

I have some really awesome news.... I am being published in the July 2011 Cards magazine! This was my first goal of the year and it's only February, yay! I just couldn't wait to share the news. So as you all probably know I can't post the card here yet but I do have another card to share instead today. Thanks to all you folks who gave me words of encouragement and to my good friend Janet my biggest fan.... I know  it's sort of sappy like I am accepting an award, giving my speech or something..(LOL!) That is sorta how it feels though, it is so much fun. Now if I could just have the same luck with some of my other goals.

This is not the card that is being published but I thought I would share it anyway:
Hope you enjoy, and Thanks again!

The Movies...

This Weekend I have to admit that I was "roped" into taking my 11 year old daughter to see the new Justin Bieber movie Never Say Never. LOL. I also have to admit I really secretly wanted to go. His songs always make me happy! They have good messages and remind me of a time when I was smitten for the next teenage heart throb. (NKOTB???)
While watching the movie I was amazed and dazzled by the by this kid with a whole lot of talent and charisma. A wonderful mother standing by him providing support and encouragement. I clearly saw the reason for all the uproar. he gave so many people HOPE. He shows that if you work hard and believe your dreams they really can become a reality.
Leaving the theatre with my daughter had me thinking about all of the things in my life I  haven't accomplished. All because I don't think I ever truly believed I was worth it. I know it sounds corny and ridiculous but that is when I realized Never Say Never can inspire you to push a little harder at achieving your goals. So on we go with life. This movie had made a impact on how I will continue though.
I think as a parent this movie shows that supporting and encouraging your kids to always do their best is essential and I will make sure both of my girls know just what that means and be there every step of the way. So no matter what age; young or old this movie leaves you feeling encouraged to do your best and live life to it fullest. A great movie to take your kids to.
