A new challenge

I was blog hopping the other day and came across a photo challenge link, so I thought I'd give it a try. Anyone in with me? It's 26 things that they post each month and you take a picture of your enterpretation of the word. I thought it might be fun and give me a chance to work on my skills, so I'm gonna get to work on it tomorrow. :) The link to the site is over on the right in my "Fav Hangouts" spot if you wanna check it out.

Here are the words:

turn
label

admiration
mess

Happy Birthday Tara!

Since we couldn't be with one of our friends for her birthday, I made this to send to her. I made a cover for a Warm Delights cake so it would look nice and so it matched the card. I hope she likes it. :)

While my creative juices were flowing...

I figured I'd finish up a canvas I started awhile ago. I think I'm going to put it in my scraproom...if I don't I might try to sell it this spring when I do a table at the fairgrounds during their flea market/auction on Saturday mornings. :)

Afghan Pictures

Ok so I didn't wait for her to come home to get the pics. But here it is :)

Finally Finished!

I had the bright idea of making an afghan for each one of the kids. Well I've apparently been working on Kayleigh's for too long because all I have heard for the past week is "Are you done yet? How much more do you have to go?". She has been wanting the afghan bad! Well today I finally finished it! She LOVES it! I haven't even been able to get a picture of it because she took it right into her bedroom, covered up with it, and didn't want to be bothered. lol! I'm going to get a pic of her tomorrow with it. It's pink with pink camo stripes. It's only the second one I've ever done. Now I have to start on Hannah's....then it's Brysen's...I think it's going to be a busy Spring. :)

Sick...STILL!

Ok this is getting ridiculous! I have been sick for 2 months! Not just two months off and on...2 months straight! It went from a cold, to a chest thing with a really bad cough, then a sinus infection which migrated into an ear infection where I lost all hearing in my left ear, back into a cold, and now I am dizzy (it happens when I stand, move, sit, or lay so I'm not sure what the deal is there *shrug*), coughing, achy, and tired as hell (to the point of Tad being the one doing all the cooking, running, and cleaning)! I went through a round of antibiotics (Zythromax) and Claritin and now the doctor wants me to go in for an XRay because he "hears something" in my lower left lung. It's beginning to feel A LOT like pneumonia and I'm not liking it at all! After this crap I better not be sick for the rest of the year!!!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

It's even colder than it looks! I used to love winter, but it seems like it gets colder and colder every year. Let's just say that I'm no longer a big fan! Here are a few pics I got today before my shutter finger froze off and felt like it may need amputated!

New Blog

Ok I must have too much time on my hands or I'm nuts. I'm completely comfortable to go with the second one. lol! Anyway...the new blog is a house blog with all the goings on with our remodel. I just started it tonight so it's not finished, but I have a feeling it's going to be like the house...never completely done. I hope you all like it :)

Hubby's...Football bets gone wrong....and a bet to be paid....

This is how my weekend went. LOL! I thought...hey...I've done well so far picking my teams. Let's not go with what you KNOW you should do. Bet with the traveling teams...they've been the ones winning this season...be smart...go with Baltimore...go with Arizona (even though you REALLY think Carolina is going to win!)...go with Pitt...go with Chargers. If I would have been smart and went with my theory that road teams were going to win this weekend, I would have lost only ONE of the games Tad and I were betting on. Did I do that? NO! Of course I didn't! lol! Why would I do that? That would be smart! haha! Instead I picked the Titans, Carolina (which in the end didn't matter anyway because Tad just knew that the Panthers were going to win so he decided to just make that game a wash out), NY, and the Chargers. Well...now I have a bet to pay up on. *sigh* Tad wants to know if I'm pouting because he won. I could be, but I'm not. I am pouting because I knew better than going against the teams that I bet against. Now I have to pay up! lol!!! And you know what, I have to say that Victory sounds MUCH sweeter than house cleaning in the outfit of his choice! Maybe next week I'll listen to the smart me and not the "hey this sounds good" me and I'll be setting and taking pics to blog about while HE's cleaning the house in the outfit of MY choice! lol
