I still have a headache today as well - but I have sooo much to get done - I am going to just plow though! I have lots of things to cover in today's post so bear with me - it will probably be a long one!!

First - while I am happy to report that yesterday when I was running up and down our road I didn't run into any more gators -but I did run into this little fellow.....


The car in front of me swerved to keep from hitting him - so you know I had to stop and get out and help him on along to the other side of the road!!!!

Thus some of the designer's of Paperthreads have decided to give you a gift of a free FILE just for visiting their blog!!! Whooo Hooo!!! So make sure you come back on Saturday to download your free file and I will give you a list of all the other places you need to visit!!!

In case you didn't know...

I live in GA. That would be South GA actually! And today I got this really cute forward from a friend that I thought I would share with you... (this was NOT what my original post was going to be about today - but I had to switch tactics and you will see why in a moment!)

Things I "learnt" in Georgia
(and for the record - these are pretty spot on!)

1. A possum is a flat animal that sleeps in the middle of the road.

2. There are 5,000 types of snakes and 4,998 of them live in Georgia.

3. There are 10,000 types of spiders. All 10,000 of them live in Georgia.

4. If it grows, it'll stick ya. If it crawls, it'll bite 'cha.

5. "Onced" and "Twiced" are words.

6. It is not a shopping cart, it's a buggy.

7. "Jaw-P?" means, "Did y'all go to the bathroom?"

8. People actually grow and eat okra.

9. 'Fixinto' is one word.

10. There is no such thing as 'lunch.' There is only dinner and then there is supper.

11. Iced tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two. We do like a little tea with our sugar.

12. Backwards and forwards means, "I know everything about you."

13. The word 'jeet' is actually a phrase meaning, "Did you eat?"The plural of this is "jalleet?"

14. You don't have to wear a watch, because it doesn't matter what time it is. You work until you're done or it's too dark to see.

15. You don't PUSH buttons, you MASH 'EM.

16. You measure distance in minutes.

17. You switch from heat to A/C in the same day.

18. All the festivals across the state are named after a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal.

19. You know what a 'DAWG' is.

20. You carry jumper cables in your car --- for your OWN car.

21. You only own five spices: salt, pepper, Texas Pete, Tabasco and Ketchup.

22. The local papers cover national and international news on one page, but require 6 pages for local gossip and high school football.

23. You think that the first day of deer season is a national holiday.

24. You find 100 degrees Fahrenheit 'a bit warm.'

25. You know all four seasons: Almost summer, summer, still summer, and Christmas.

26. Going to Wal-Mart is a favorite past time known as goin' Wal-Martin or 'off to Wally World.'

27. You describe the first cool snap (below 70 degrees) as good hog killin' weather.

28. Fried catfish is the other white meat.

29. We don't need no dang driver's ed. If our mama says we can drive, we can drive, dag-nabbit.

30. You never know what you might run into on the way home!

Ok, Ok... I have to admit that I added number 30!! The original text was something about forwarding this on to your GA friends and those who wished they were from GA.....

BUT... I had to run into town a little bit earlier today and on my way home... I am zooming down the road in my little sports car, my top is down (the car top that is!!!), and I am yakking on my cell phone when what do I see?!?!!? In the MIDDLE of the road going to my house?!?!?!

An......

(click on photo for a bigger image)

Yep that's right - a gator! (Oh sorry for those not from this part that would be an alligator!) Bahahaha!!! Now I am not sure why the gator was crossing the road (Get it?? Why did the gator cross the road!! Bahahaha) But he was!

So the next time you are in GA make sure you take the long way home - you never know what you might run into!!!! (AND YES - I did stop in the middle of the road to take a photo of the gator! And YES - I am a scrapbooker I carry a camera in my pocketbook at ALL times! Hey you never know what you might just see!!!)

Until Next Time!

HAPPY Monday!!!

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend! Mine wasn't too shabby!!! I actually got a chance to go to the movies this weekend (and if you are a follower of my blog you know how I LOVE the movies!!!) I went to see the movie "17 Again". It was actually a very cute movie (I have to admit I was a little worried - I mean how many times can we re-do this story line???) but it made me miss my hubby!!! And while I probably should have been saying hubba hubba over Matthew Perry (since he only a few months older than me!!!) DANG that Zac Efron is toooo freaking adorable!!! (And young enough to be my son!!!! Ok, ok HE COULD HAVE been my kid if I had had him at 17!!!!) Bahahaha!!!

I want to say thanks to everyone that downloaded the Friday Freebie!! It seems like the Legend of the Sand Dollar was a HUGE hit - I had a record number of 272 downloads!!! WOW!!! CRAZY!!! Don't forget that if you use my designs in one of your projects that I would love to see it! And if you share them with me - you get one of my files for free - yep JUST FOR SHARING!!!

Other than that I have been working away like a mad women on designing the files for the Scrapbooking, Cards and More membership!!! So much so I have a blister on my wrist!!! I know - crazy - but I guess I have lost enough weight now that my bone on my wrist is showing and I never noticed this before but when I am using my drawing tablet it rubs against the bottom of it - and now I have a HUGE blister!!! On my WRIST!!! CRAZY!!!

Speaking of the Scrapbooking, Cards and More ... it will officially start on FRIDAY!!! So if you haven't signed up yet - you better hurry!!! (Now technically you have until like July to sign up - but for those that are signed up EARLY - not only will their names going it the drawing for the BIG 'OLD Bag of Scrapping Crap - but I am going email everyone who has joined before Midnight May 1st a FREE BONUS file!!!!
