I have all my hubby's Christmas presents wrapped (he is coming home today - WHOOO HOOOO!!! Thus I didn't want him to see what I had gotten so far!)

Man - I still have a ton of stuff to do....

So I am just popping in really quick to remind you that it is.... FREEBIE FRIDAY!!!!

Hope you have a GREAT weekend - I've got to go clean (do you think I have cleaned the past four weeks while hubby was gone?!?!? Uh that would be a negative!!!)

Hope you have a GREAT weekend!!!

Until Next Time!

Making a list...

and checking it twice....

Ok today I am totally swamped! I have already cut out 100 toppers for my packaging, cut out 100 inserts, printed out 110 photos for white ribbon pins, oh and finished reading the first book in the "Twilight" saga. (And sadly I have to report of course I did THAT first!! LOL) And I went ahead and downloaded the other three to my Kindle!

So today I thought I would share with you my Christmas list! If you have been following my blog since the beginning you know that every year I make a list for my family of the top gifts that I really would like to receive! This tradition stems back from my childhood years when I use to take the Sears Toy catalog and lug it around for weeks before I highlighted each and every item that I hoped Santa would bring me!!! Bahahaha...

Last year people seemed to enjoy my shared list and it sparked them into adding some items on their own gift list.... so with out further ado - here is my 2008 Christmas/Birthday list (yeah - my birthday is only 7 days after Christmas!!!)

BRRRRR!!!!

Who freaking left the AC on outside?!?!?! It is cold! And I mean COLD!!! This is South GA - we are not suppose to get this cold until Jan!!!!! Truly - we are the land of sun, water and azaleas for goodness sakes!

Then if it wasn't cold enough out there right now - our low tonight is 25 degrees!!! Are you Kidding me?!?!?! If that comes to be... it will BEAT our record low for this day. As of right now the record was 29 degrees in 1965!!!

And if that wasn't bad enough - what this really means is that I have to cover up my plants and hubby isn't here to man handle them around to the back of the house for me!!! Sheesh!!!!!

Ok- I have to admit - I am kind of a wimp when it comes to the cold! Especially when I am home alone - I think I might have to actually dig out my electric blanket and go stock up on so fireplace logs and hot chocolate!!! Man not to mention my work load is way heavy right now and the thought of having to go outside to spray paint and run some errands leaves me feeling faint!!!

How many more days til summer???

Until Next Time - Try to stay warm - ya'll hear!

I've been bitten...

By the Vampire bug.... Yep - I am not into Vampires at all! Nope they don't normally do anything for me. But if you will remember a few weeks ago I asked you - what are you reading??? Well not many of you are readers - or if you are - you didn't feel the need to help me out!!! Bahahaha....

But those out of those of you who did - almost ALL of you said I must read the "Twilight Saga". And my dear friend Meg - she RAVES about the series... So much I even left her a message saying - I'm not into "vampires" would I still like these books - to which she emphatically said YES YES YES!!!

So I decided to give them a try.... especially since the first movie is coming out this week.... I downloaded Twilight on to my Kindle and I am about 1/2 the way through and I have to say its pretty good!! And I really think my step daughter will enjoy them (she is 13). So I had hubby give her a call - and she reported that she was reading the first one now (she borrowed it from a friend) - but that is all the RAVE at her school!

So I purchased the box set for her for Christmas and I even found this fellow ebayer Lisa that makes the most ADORABLE Twilight purses!!! As soon as I saw them - I had to get my stepdaughter one for Christmas!! And then of course that lead to getting her a Twilight bracelet, etc..... (Man you would be shocked at all the "Twilight" stuff out there right now!!!)

Anyway I guess you would say I have been bitten by the TWILIGHT bug!! How about you??? Anyone out there a "twerd"??? Counting down the days until the movie release?? If so you HAVE TO go check out Lisa's purses!!! They are AWESOME!!!

And she also has an AMAZING "Twilight" Premier Night Premade Scrapbooking page on ebay too!!! And make sure you tell her I sent ya!!!

Well I think that is about it... my schedule this week is insane!! I have six photo stars to get done, 100 (yes I said 100) White Ribbon photo pins and I still haven't gotten my new files up at Paperthreads (which HAS TO BE DONE before my sale the weekend after Thanksgiving!)!!! Add to that my Christmas gifts that need to get completed and I need to finish up packing up my Secret Santa gift!!!

Wow - I am tired just typing it all down!!! I'll do my best to blog this week - but if I miss a day or two - well you know why (and yes it maybe cause I am reading instead of working!!!!)

Until Next Time!
