Gosh it's been such a long time since I posted on here.  I feel so lost!  First of all I want to Wish everyone a very Happy Valentines.  Hope you have something planned on that special day!  Unfortunately my hubby will probably be working but we love each other and don't really need special day to remember that!

I also want to thank those who have sent me cards for our little Valentine swap!  It was fun!!

On the home front here...  As usual I have been busy.  We are still in the process of remodeling our bathroom.  Hubby has been doing all the work himself and only able to work on it when he is home.  He is a engineer for the railroad so he is only home about every other day or so..    I have also been busy getting ready for a Bridal Shower on the 28th of this month.  It's for my nephews soon to be wife and then of coarse getting ready for the wedding which is April 4th.   I have been doing all the flowers from the bouquets to the corsages and boutonnieres.  I am having fun with it though!  Then... we are planning a trip to Florida once again.  Heading down in March..  Always love going.  Will be staying with my parents who go down the winter months.    My list goes on and on.... LOLOL...   No need to bore everyone with it! LOLOL  I guess I would rather be busy then bored to death!  LOL

Hope everyone enjoys the Holiday and the weekend..

Good Day to all!  I sure have been busy and haven't had much time for the computer.  Been going to my sisters a lot and also have been bogged down with orders.  

I also have been helping my nephew and his fiancee plan and get ready for their wedding which is April 4th.  I am making the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages for them.  I am enjoying it though cause I like doing that kind of thing.   

We are still in the process of remodeling our bathroom.  Gosh I don't think we will ever get that done! LOL..  It will be beautiful once we are done with it.

Also we are planning another trip to Florida in March.  We haven't been for a few years now and I am excited about going back.  My parents go down for the winter and it's nice to go down and visit with them.  They stay in Panama City Beach.

Well time to get off here and start my day.  Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

GooD Monday or is it? LOL




Good Monday to all!   Well we have more snow and it's cold once again!  gosh..  Don't know about you but I am so ready for Spring!  Well I had a wonderful weekend at my sisters and now it's back to home life again here.  Laundry, cleaning, working on orders, what a life! LOLOL...    Before I start on orders I need to organize my craft room again.   I need to find a simpler way to organize all my material.  It gets so messy!  Anyone have a good idea?  How do you organize yours?  Right now i have mine on shelving and try to keep it color coded.. See how I said "try"  LOLOL...   

Well need to get busy here...  Hope you all have a Blessed Monday!

Another Day!






Hello everyone..  Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!  I have been cleaning up the house today and getting it back in order.  We had a 80th Birthday Party for my mother-in-law yesterday which was hosted at my house.   It was a wonderful day too!   The whole family was here accept my youngest daughter which was unable to get off work to come, besides the fact she lives 4 hours away.   

After I get the house done I have to work on orders.  I have 3 that I need to get out in the mail this week.   After spending time in Chicago last week and then preparing for the Birthday party it has me behind on my crafting.   I will catch up though like I always do.  I am hiring my other daughter to help me get the orders finished up.  That will be a relief!

After that..... I have another party that I am planning.  It is a surprise 50th Birthday party for my sister which is this coming Saturday.  Luckily we are having it at her house with the help from my niece and brother-in-law.  I am excited about that.   

I think after that I am in the clear for a while and will be able to relax a little.  

Hope everyone as a Blessed Sunday Afternoon!

Leaving in the Morning!






I am heading out in the morning to go visit my daughter and her b/f  up in Chicago, well in Schaumburg.  It's about a 4 hour drive and looks like the weather will hold out for us.  My daughter is all excited.  She was home for Christmas but could only stay a couple of days due to her job. 

Will miss getting on my blog every morning! LOL...  Hope you all have a great week-end.  I will be back on Monday!

LOLOL  ... humm am I leaving anything out! LOLOL

So how has your new year been so far?  Hope not as busy as mine.  I haven't even been able to do any sewing,  I have been trying though! LOLOL   I think once I get back from Chicago will have to plan a whole day of reorganizing my craft room.   Need to get all my fabric sorted .  Yep I am a fabricholic!

TiMe to ReLax!





WOW.....  What a Christmas we had!   I hope everyone else had a wonderful one too!  

Now time to relax for a few days before we bring in the new year!  We don't go out on the town to celebrate any more but we do get together with friends.  We will have finger foods and play some cards.  On New Years Day we get together once more with friends and family and  I always fix a big ole' pot of ham and beans with cornbread.   I use my left over Christmas ham for this.   It's always so yummy!   

Today my parents left to spend the rest of winter in Florida!  BUT what winter??  Yesterday was in the 60's and today was about the same except we had a few strong storms and tornado watches.  Gosh....  Global Warming at it's best!

Tomorrow I will probably start taking down some Christmas things.  I always leave my snowmen out though.  Love my Snowmen!   I did buy a few new pieces this year to go with my collection.  

Happy Saturday to you all!

SLOW GoInG for me...






I have enjoyed looking at all my friends Christmas Decorating across the blog world here. I am still decorating myself but it's slow going... I put my back out really bad this time. Ended up going to the emergency room 3:00 a.m. Friday morning for some relief. At first they thought I had gallbladder problems but after all the blood testing, x-rays, sonograms etc. they determined that I really pulled some muscles. Thanks goodness cause I sure didn't want to have any type of surgery, not this time of year! LOL...I am really not for sure how I did either. Maybe tugging on all the craft props from my show or up and down the basement steps carrying all my Christmas things up. Who knows.. I am on some really powerful meds, pain killers and muscles relaxers and they do make ya pretty sleepy! I try to keep truckin along though.Really want to get this decorating done especially since I am hosting our family Christmas and some friends of mine do a traveling Christmas which is this coming Saturday. My mother and oldest daughter has been helping when they can but I like things certain ways and I am a pretty picky person! LOLOL...


Ohh well... the saga continues!


Hope everyone has a Blessed Saturday evening!

Kay
