Above 32 degrees!

Today has been the warmest day around here in a while and I will take it!!! The weather the next few days looks wonderful. Anyhoo...lol.

I have been trying to get myself motivated to craft and organize, you know...all those new year's resolutions we have all made. For one thing, the Christmas cards we receive each year. It's hard to just trash those knowing someone took the time to send them out. Take a look at Stephanie's blog for a simple but creative use for our old cards. I just ran across her blog today and I am so glad I did.

Of course, I had to make a Hobby Lobby run yesterday, especially when there is a 40% off coupon ready to use. I keep telling myself I need to get my craft/scrap booking supplies organized better before I buy MORE...that concept really needs to kick in.

I had to get this matted picture when I saw it yesterday. It says "Life is Short - Enjoy the Ride."

Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend!

BRRR!...It's cold out there!

We got two days of school in and missed again today. Last night it was snowing some but the temp and wind chill has been the major problem. I know alot of local schools just don't want the students to be out in the extreme cold so they have canceled the rest of the week. I know there are places with much colder temps and conditions so I am grateful because it could be so much worse. I think we only had one snow day built into our school calendar so these are days we will have to make up at some point.

This is Tiger, which is normally an outside cat. She has been in the house the last couple of days because of the cold temps.

This is Jade, which is a house cat for the most part. She and Tiger don't really like each other, so as you can imagine the growls and snarls that have been going on...lol.
I hope everyone stays warm and toasty today!!

Snow Day!

Today was supposed to be our first day back to school from Christmas Break but the weather had different plans for us. It was blowing some flurries around yesterday but evidently had more wet drizzle than I realized. With the cold temps, the drizzle turned into ice so needless to say...we didn't make it to school today. Speaking of weather, it's supposed to be like 0 degrees by the end of the week...BRRRR!!!! I hate it for the animals that have to stay outside. I am hoping spring will come early around here.

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Are we ready for high school yet?

Well, I think we have everything completed so my son can begin high school in a few weeks. We've had orientations, enrollment, filled out forms multiple times and physicals this past week. So, finally...maybe that's it for a while.

Has it been hot where you are?

It's been 99 and 100 degrees here in Oklahoma and the heat index even higher. I like summer but not the humidity and so hot that you can even think about being outside from around noon til 4:00 or so...but what am I saying, that's just how it's going to be for a while.

I completely dislike winter and cold weather but fall doesn't even sound like a bad word about right now...lol.

I would like to thank Shelly for saying such nice things about me and plugging my little etsy shop. She is a great girl and has wonderful goodies in her shop, lemon tree studio. Thank you Shelly!

Here are a few new things in my shop, a cute little owl cut from felt with big button eyes!

Finally completed this paper bag album, it would be great for alot of different occasions.

And this little embellished tag!

Summer has hit Oklahoma!

Well, we finished up basketball camp today and was it hot or what?!!! I guess I should say, the humidity was horrible but then we were in the gym and not getting much air. Here is a picture of Sissy and she is looking at me like "leave me alone and stop flashing that camera!" She had been outside and just laid down and was loving the AC and I don't blame her one bit.Okay, I have been trying to sub Slim Fast in the mornings and I can do that but if I would just do the same for lunch, it would be really great!...but so far, I have just drank the Slim Fast a couple of times for lunch. It's filling but I want to chew and crunch something but then that's my problem...lol. I have been trying to also get on our total gym every night, I have most nights and man...my arms have been sore!
I got my hair cut a little shorter than normal yesterday and I like it. With the humidity we have here, it will feel much cooler. Here's a funny I have to share, my son who will be 15 next month asked me a few days ago when was the last time I colored my hair. Of course, yesterday right after I got my hair cut, he really didn't like it but now today he thinks he likes it better. Don't you just love the honesty of kids!!!
Tomorrow is already Thursday and I need to go work a little while at school but I really want to work on some craft projects I have going also. I wonder which will win?...I just wonder...*smiles* I also want to go to Hobby Lobby, their paper is on sale for 50% off...plus some other goodies and I think there is a 25% off coupon online. I hope everyone has a great Thursday!
