Sick and Tired...

Sorry it has taken me til 10 PM my time to blog... I have been running a fever today and just feel yucky!! Tummy aches and I won't bother to tell you what room I have spent the most time in today - just rest assured it WASN'T my scrapping room!!

I will try to catch up with blogging tomorrow and answer all your comments and emails. I am also volunteering my time and talents and creating the booklet for the 9th Annual Friends of Animals Auction which is about 12 pages long so far... so I am a little swapped at the moment!!

Bear with me - and I promise I will "throw you a bone" as my husband likes to say!!! (For those that are new visiting my blog - that means I will give you a "Term Restricted File" for download in the next day or so!!! I also have a great story to share and some more show and tells!!!!

Until Next Time!

Finally Finshed!!!

Well I have finally finished my "Big" project I was working on!!! If you will recall I showed you this picture last week sometime....

I needed to make something to go on my dinning room wall. I just got done remodeling the living room (thanks to the leak in the roof!). I just ordered new plates and glasses for the kitchen, so I decided to finally do something to the wall in the dinning area....

So here is my wall before.... as you can see it was a huge blank canvas...... I have looked at a lot of things in the past few years but hubby was like don't get it unless you really love it! Just hold out - you will find the perfect thing in due course!

And here is my wall now!!!!!

Ok, so I have to admit my fingers are sore from screwing in cup hooks, and the hardest part was figuring out what photos to use - but I am soooooo excited and happy the way it turned out!!! And I have to admit I am sooooo glad I waited (but don't tell my husband) because I do TOTALLY love it!!!

So what do you think??

Until Next Time!

Movie Review...

So my friend is back in town and we actually made it to lunch and the movies yesterday! Now I have to tell you this was not my first choice of movies.... but hey.... And after a huge lunch of Japanese food (Oh YUMMY - my favorite) I went into the movies sleepy.... add to the combination it was colddddddd in there, and only four hours of sleep the night before - well as you can see everything was lined up and in place for a nap!

I even turned to my friend and said I REALLY hope this movie is good or I am going to fall asleep!!! I yawned and yawned - the previews started and I was still yawning..... and then..... the movie started!!! I was wide awake from the beginning and all the way to the end!



In a rural English village in, oh, let's say, Olden Times, a young man named Tristan tries to win the heart of a young lady. All she wants is a fallen star. Easy enough. All the young chap has to do is cross the wall that separates their village from the Faerie realm. Gulp. He does so, only to discover that the falling star is in fact a beautiful lady. And guess what, she's being pursued by other folks too - dangerous folks who all desperately want this star. Oh, what an adventure our Tristan will have as he travels across the universe, encountering witches (which are quite funny!), pirates, ghosts, and more!

A dream cast of A-list talent, including Peter O'Toole, Ricky Gervais, Claire Danes, Michelle Pfieffer and Robert De Niro as the pirate Capt. Shakespeare.

It was a wonderful love story, with lots of humor (oh and let me tell you - when "Tristan" has his make over given by the ummmm, Captain - lets just say he is major hubba, hubba to look at from that point on!!!!!) Over all I would give this one four diet cokes and a medium bag of popcorn!

(Not as good as "Hairspray" mind you - which I am still talking about to this day. I even got the soundtrack to the movie - which I love to listen to when I am driving - it makes me laugh!!!! Especially the song "Cooties" (click on the title then go to track 18)!!! Bahahaha!!)

Hope you are having a great weekend!
Until Next Time!
