Happy Halloween, y’all!

I’d like to thank Pam and all the super nice ladies at the new Just Us GirlS blog (don’t you love that acronym??) for awarding me the Chic of the Week #2 award for my Addy TUDE card!  Here’s the super cute award button that I’ll be adding to my sidebar.

If you haven’t checked out their new challenge blog you should really head over THERE!  It’s hip and cute and sassy!!  I love it!!  There’s a new challenge posted each Saturday!

Thanks so much again to Pam and all the great JUGS girls!!

I didn’t formally resign from “the company that shall not be named”.  Didn’t think I had to.  After all, if I had not signed the new agreement by September 30, I would be cut off from the world as I knew it forever and forever amen.

Didn’t happen.  I can still access my demo stuff and see that my very last ever and forever order will not arrive until next Monday.  My panic order.  You know.  The one when you have this gut wrenching fear that if you don’t order it now, it will be taken away from you, never to be accessible again until the end of time.  Yeah, that one.

I thought I might be in a panic once October 1st got here.  Nope.  Feeling pretty darn good, actually!

Just had to share!  Thanks for “listening”!

to CHA!!  Yes, I’m a CHA virgin and in a couple of hours I’ll be on a flight to Orlando.

I’ll be staying with Kittie, and so will Bev and Sherry!  Candy lives just a few minutes away, so I’ll get to spend a lot of time with her too!  YAY!

Tomorrow, I have a Tim Holtz class and a Claudine Hellmuth class as well.  I’m SO darned excited!

But what I’m most excited about is meeting all the people that I now only know online.  What fun!  I know I’ll get to meet Barbara face-to-face on Friday!  Yippee!!

I’ll try to post photos during the week.  If I don’t get to it, be sure to check with Kittie or Sherry.  They’re always right on top of things!!

Thanks for visiting today!  Talk at you soon!

My darling granddaughter has finally been born!

Molly Corinne weighed in at 6 lbs 4 oz on Thursday, April 23rd, at 3:15 pm.  She’s a little peanut and such a doll!

Here she is with big brother Miles:

Everyone is fine and happy!

This is a card that I made for Miles, her 2-1/2 year old brother, to give to her.  Inside it reads: Welcome to the world.

Thank you for allowing me to share my happy news!

Have you been over to visit Claudia Rosa’s blog Pretty Pressings?

Just thought you’d like to know!!

My good friend Sherry decided to tag me a couple of days ago and it looked like it would be fun, so I’m playing along!  The tag is to open the My Pictures folder on your computer, open the 6th folder and then post the 6th photo.

This is my 6th in the 6th:

This was taken from the balcony of a beach house in Edisto, SC, looking out to the bay.  There were dolphins everywhere that week.  We had so much fun watching them play and I just couldn’t get enough pictures of them.

Just for fun, here are a few more from that peaceful, relaxing week:

And here’s another one from that week that is probably one of my most favorites from all the pictures I’ve ever taken:

Thanks for allowing me to share some favorite memories!!

The rules for this tag are as follows:

•Open your photo folder on your computer
•Open the 6th folder of photos
•Select the 6th picture
•Post the picture on your blog with a description
•Invite six friends to join the challenge
•Link your six friends to your blog post

Here are my 6 friends that I’m tagging and asking to play along:

Barbara, Cathy, Danielle, LeAnne, Tammy and Christine

After looking at all these pictures from the beach, I’m really ready for summer!

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

We had a great time at IKEA!  We were mostly looking for furniture for GS Miles.  Here’s a bed we found that he just loved:

Here’s Miles and Gretchen trying out some mattresses while his Mom was shopping:

And here’s a little something I picked up (the bedding):

All in all, we had a pretty productive day, considering almost every person in 5 counties was there!!  Talk about feeling like cattle!  But I still can’t wait to go back!
