It's a guy thing

I swear it must be a guy thing to always try and sneak a peek.

I do believe at times Jimmy Johnson has a hidden camera in my home.

Another Installment

Of things about me:
1. I do enjoy shoveling snow and mowing the lawn. Not a snow plow, an actual shovel and not mowing when it's terribly hot.

2. I hate clothes shopping. I do like to shop for clothes for my husband and sons but I hate to shop for myself. Give me a fashion catalog and I will shop that way.

3. I will not pay full price to go see a movie. I will choose a matinee or wait and go to the cheap theatre to see a movie. I will also not rent a DVD. If I want to see a DVD I will purchase it. This way I can watch it at my leasure and I can share the DVD with Family and Friends.

4. When I was younger I wanted to sky dive, now that I am older I think I am alittle wiser.

5. My car interior is always clean. I make sure if anyone brings cups, cans or food wrappers in the car, that they take them with them when they leave the car.

6. My favorite candle scent is food type scents. Cookie scents, Fruits and Flavors.
My favorite candle companies are Yankee Candles and Gold Canyon.

7. I like to play board games and card games

2nd Layout of 52

Here is my 2nd layout of the year.

The picture was taken at Christmas time 2007.
Again I need to learn how to scan and stitch together a 12x12 layout. The Baroque Motifs stamp set from Stampin' Up! was used along with their Very Vanilla Cardstock, Chocolate Chip & Purely Pomegranate inkpads. The title and year was made on my QuicKutz Silhouette machine.

Television Train Wrecks

Last night Todd and I watched some television.
We watched the 2nd episode of Celebrity Apprentice YAWN, can you say boring.
Once that sleeper was over we flipped and by accident found VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. The lives of these people are absolute train wrecks; watching them and how they have ruined their lives growing dependant on either Drugs or Alcohol is so very sad. Will I watch these shows again? If nothing else is on and since the writer strike is still in effect, my answer would be probably.

A Conversation with a Five Year Old

I watched my nephew Nikolas later in afternoon today; he had to take a ride with me to go get his cousin Jordan from school and Uncle Todd from the train. On the way home he was talking about his swim lessons and how he needs goggles for under the water. Uncle Todd said why don't you just keep your eyes closed when you go under the water so it doesn't bother you eyes? There was a slight pause and Nikolas' reply was "That's a Good Idea" the way he said it was like now why didn't I think of that... It was so funny!

Breathe a Sigh of Relief

We have spent the past 2 weeks working on 2 scholarship applications for Ethan.
1 is the Presidential Scholarship offered through Columbia College and the other is the Warner Brothers/Hanna Barbera Scholarship.
We breathe a sign of relief because we just completed our portion of the scholarships. Now it is up to the High School to put the proper information in the envelopes and mail them out for us.
Each scholarship asked for a presentation of Ethan's art work to be put on a CD to be viewed. Ethan has used PowerPoint before and lets just say Todd had a crash course learning it. They had to figure out how to add a video, music and make the kaliedoscope art work change like a kaliedoscope should. We are hoping these little extras will make the presentation stand out and be memorable to the scholarship committee.

Sketch Challenge

This card is being posted for a sketch challenge Stampinkub is having on his blog and Here's the card I made:

1st Layout of 52

Ok here is my 1st layout of the year, the 1st of I hope 52. It is a 2 page layout and I used my digital camera to take the picture of it. I am not too happy how the picture turned out, I think it is kind of yellowish in color. I am going to have to learn how to scan it and then thread the layout.
When the boys were younger they would almost always make a snowman every year. This is the one they made in 2000.


The snowflakes and letters were made with my Quickutz Silhouette machine and the snow words on the bottom of the pages were made with the Jumbo Snow wheel from Stampin' Up! I love this wheel and when I purchased it, I knew I would have to use it in a layout.
