Abundant Hope/Easter Blessings

This is one of the cards that we will be making at stamp camp this month.
The stamp set used is Abundant Hope by Stampin' Up!

The Blind Side

We finally have the opportunity to see The Blind Side this weekend. I have been working OT at work since end of January and have not had the opportunity to go and see it.

I really like Sandra Bullock so I am looking forward to see this movie, I may post later in this blog a review of the movie.

Beautiful Wings Embosslits Card

This is one of the cards we will be making at Stamp Camp this month. I used the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslit die to cut out the butterflies and a dots emboss sleeve from Sizzix for the actual card using my Big Shot. (I love that thing.)

Vacation is booked

We were so excited this past weekend, we were finally able to book our 2010 vacation.
This vacation spot was picked by our son Jordan who graduates high school this year.
Per hubby's instructions I shouldn't post the destination or dates until after we return. But I have included a few pictures of where we will be that doesn't give away much information. LOL



The countdown begins!!!

One More Fix LOL

Apolo one Jay Leno Tonight


Had to do it! LOL

Lent

I usually don't recongnize the lenten season. No particular reason, as an adult I just never have. We were raised Catholic as children and we wouldn't eat meat on Fridays and Dad would take us to church on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and I remember one time attending a Mass focusing on the Stations of the Cross.

This year I decided to give up Cake, Cookies, Candy and Ice Cream during the lenten season. It has now been 1 week and 3 days and I can proudly say that haven't cheated.
The Cake and Ice Cream weren't that hard to give up, it's the Cookies and Candy that is. (Especially since I have Thin Mints stilling in my freezer right now). I have had 3 days (today being one of them) that I have CRAVED sweets but haven't given in.
Doing this hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be and a plus is that I have lost 3 lbs.

I am hoping I will last until Easter Sunday and that maybe even after Easter I won't have a craving for sweets.

2 More Races

The 500m a very fast short skate race and the Men's team 5000m relay

My Baby Holding a Baby

Last night was my monthly stamp camp and Jenny who just recently had a baby (2 weeks ago) brought her baby boy Samuel. He is so tiny, cute and a full head of dark hair.
I was able to hold and feed baby Sam which was so nice because I haven't held a baby in years. Todd took over at one point with burp duties and once the baby was all changed and cleaned up, Jordan got to hold him.
I love how Sam and Jordan are looking at each other in this picture.

Mens Short Track Olympic Speed Skating

I started really enjoying Short Track Speed Skating during the 2002 winter olympics
This is why:

Need I say more? LOL
Apolo skates the 1500 meter short track tonight.

Emma

I've mentioned before I love period movies so this afternoon Todd and I decided to watch a movie that has been in our DVR player for awhile.

This is a movie based on a Jane Austen novel. I have enjoyed other Jane Austen novel based movies and this one is just as enjoyable with quick wit and humor.
