Turkey and a Blond Moment

Good afternoon everyone. Hope you are having a nice relaxing day. I sure am. I am soooo lazy today. And, the house smells so good. We are roasting a turkey for the Thanksgiving dinner tonight at church. Bill always volunteers "us" to make a turkey, stuffing and gravy. Why so much??? I keep asking that question. He does it, because he knows that it will taste good. We remember some not so good dinners the turkeys that were too dry and the gravy with grease floating on the top. Yuk. This is Bill's gaurantee that he won't be eating a bad meal. LOL.


Here is the turkey. Yum. You will have to roll me out. I am looking forward to Pumpkin Pie. My Fav.

I am also looking forward to spending some time with my BFF, Louise. She just called and said that she will be there. I am so excited. I don't get to see her that often because she moved away. Her son and his family live near by and she is baby sitting tonight. She will be there with her two adorable grandsons. Can't wait to see her and the kids.
I have to share a very funny and "embarassing" moment. This morning I got up to make the stuffing and had a very "blond" moment. Bill went to the store to get some more celery, onion and broth. After finishing a batch of stuffing, I realized that I didn't need anymore onion...my eyes had taken about enough. Well anyway, I pick up the house phone to call Bill on his cell phone. After I dial, I here a cell phone ringing and not even thinking , I hang up the house phone and pick up "Bill's" cell phone thinking to myself "oh, he's calling me". Well, no one was there. So I hang up, and dial again using the house phone. Once again Bill's phone rings, and I look to see who is calling. It says "home". Then, duh, I finally realized that Bill can't be calling me because his phone is sitting right here on the counter!!!

Last Day for Free Shipping on Stampingbella

Don't forget that today is the last day for free shipping at Stampingbella!!! This was so tough for me because there are so many cute things that I want. I really need another Bella Binder and the inserts and easy mount. That took up a big percentage of my budget. So, here is what I ordered: Pia Puddingtop, Polly Packages, Spoooooky Stella, Tangled Stella, Gossipy Stella, and Witchybella. I didn't used to like the Stella's but now I love them. I kept putting things in my cart and taking them out. The things that I had to take out are, Stella on her broomstick, Stellarina, Stella has something to say and Butch and Mimi. It was very tough being disciplined. I have to learn to pace myself. My sister-in-law has put a bug in my ear about these cute girl Penny Black stamps from hmstamps.com. They are so cute!!! There is Ginger, I love her, Cinnamon and Vanilla plus others that Vicki found. And, can you believe that I was the one that got her onto Penny Black Stamps. Well anyway, that bug in my ear keeps calling...come get me, you want me. LOL. Guess I will have to wait a while. Have a great day. And, have fun shopping.

Free Shipping on Stampingbella!!!

I am so excited. Em is offering free shipping on all orders over $45 over at Stampingbella until Tuesday, September 9. Before I forget, the free shipping code is: fea404. It is also listed on her blog on the Stampingbella website. Now, I can finally get my Bindah (binder). Yippee!!! I am going to be good this time and not order as much. Even though I want it all. I am only going to get: Pia Puddingtop, Polly Packages and Witchy Bella. I love all the Tiddlyinks, especially Sir Cute a lot (some day I will get him), and Chichiboulies. Those are my favorites. Hope to someday finish those collections. And, then there are others that I haven't even tried, like the Stellas, the Bellas and Fellas and on and on. She even has cute flowers and lots of other embelishments. Okay, time to stop wishing. Can't have it all...just a little at a time. LOL.

Bella Madness!!!!

I am in desperate need of some organization. I just got a new order of Bella's, tiddlyinks, sentiments, etc. in the mail today and I got another one two weeks ago. My binder is full and these are going to get stuffed in a drawer. I need to come up with a method. I know that I need another binder and will eventually get another one. But for now, I need to do something. My sister-in-law,Vicki, who is my partner in crime when it comes to ordering Bellas has a pretty good system of organization. I just have to sit down and do it. She has all of her Bellas listed on a spreadsheet and has them numbered. Each Bella in her binder coordinates with the number on the spreadsheet. All that she has to do when she wants a bella is to go down her list, get the number and go to her binder. Easy. But it sounds like so much work to get started, but then again it's a lot of work trying to figure out what I have, especially when it comes to the sentiments. If you have a method of organization, I would sure like to know. Please drop me a line. I am drowning in Bella's. Help.

A much better day for me

Today is my third day back at work and I am doing much better. I am getting over the funk that I have been it. My friend Michelle who works downstairs helped to make it that much better. She took me out for a belated birthday lunch and surprised me with a big slice of cake. Maybe that's the thing that did it.

Isn't this card too funny???

Good Morning

Good Morning Everyone. Last night I went to a "Virtual" Bridal Shower for Sparkle. I arrived a little late. But, it was so awesome. It was like being at a party. You were able to talk with your friends and play games. They had a Sparkle trivia game and card challenges. I can't wait to start mine. I am at work and my allergies are just killing me. There are so many fires in Northern California right now, that the smoke is coming in the building. I may have to go home early. I can't stop sneezing and covering my nose. I don't know where we can go to escape the smoke. It is really bad.

Happy Saturday

Today was my scrapbook workshop and we had a great time and got a lot accomplished. Four people couldn't make it. But that was okay. I had Jackie and Amy over. Amy's mother Lana is leaving for vacation on Monday. She had planned on coming, but you know how that goes when you have to get packed. Amy took all of the layout stuff for her mother and will do the layouts for her. My sister Lynnette was sick, Amber's husband had to work late last night and was too tired to watch the kids, Fran's husband had to work today and couldn't watch their little one. But you know what, it's okay. This is what I am going to do. Since I have all of their paper cut, I will make kits for them. In the kit there will be the embellishments, stamped images, pictures of the layouts and directions on how to assemble them. They are going to love it. Isn't that a great idea??? It's a win situation for all.

I made some changes to the layouts. I used some suggestions from my friends over on the CTMH board. My layouts don't show it, but I had Jackie and Amy ink the edges of the white mats. It looks so much better.
