Pretty Sunday except for that white stuff on the ground!! I really can't complaim because it's just about gone already and we got about an inch. Stayed up late last night, until 4 this morning, to take Brittany to her friend's house for her trip to Mexico. Lucky her. So it was a weird sleep day. Ok, I confess, Jeff actually took her while I stayed in bed but I stayed awake until he came home. so it's supposed to be our Spring Break too since Erik is at NIU and Jeff comes down with the flu. He never gets sick so I know he feels like crap. I leave on Wednesday to go to Westville to pick up Corinna so we can go to St. Louis to work at the CKC. I'm excited. It will be fun. Hopefully warmer too!!

Out like a lion?

I thought I would write in green today hoping against hope that Mother Nature would get the hint and actually make an apperance a little bit faster than she is today. We are expecting snow I had to type that little to make it more acceptqable but it really isn't. Here it is March Madness and that white stuff is supposed to drop on us. Is it to make me even more jealous that this time tomorrow my daughter will be basking in the sun of Mexico????? Um, what's wrong with this picture???? I don't remember doing anything fun like that during my senior spring break. Well, I guess I should be glad she can since our teenage years are complete opposites. (but she better bring me back some intense sunshine or else......!)

Um, long time no blog!!

I can't believe it's been that long since I've blogged! Ok, maybe I do. lol This next week my dd, 18 is going to Mexico for spring break. She's going with a friend and her family to a resort so I'm not as psycho as if she were going to go to Cancun itself. which of course she wouldn't be doing anyway! I can't believe she's 18 and going away to college in the fall!! It will be very quiet around here since Erik will be a senior at Northern Illinois University wile Brittany will be at Western Illinois University. I'm so proud of them. Which also means I will have time and no more excuses to get busy!!

My gallery

I finally found where my gallery is. Now I really understand what my mom was saying when she said "If your head wasn't attached you'd loose it," LOL It is on scrapbooks.com under bungebabe7. They are some of my older work but ones I still really like. Check them out.

Where did the time go???

I finally got around to my blog and can't believe I haven't posted since December! It's been a very busy year and not all of it good. My sister lost her battle with ovarian cancer, I had to put my dog down because of a spinal condition, I was in a car accident-not serious to me but car was totaled. My mom underwent surgery for intestinal resection, she's fine. The kids are back at school so now I can devote more time to my blog.

I've gotten a Pazzles Inspiration Machine and it is amazing!!! The things it can cut seem endless. I was able to work the Scrapbook Expo in St. Charles IL to help promote this awesome machine and was able to sell quite a few. Go to www.pazzles.com for more information. I got a new laptop and as soon as I figure out the photo program that's on here I'll be able to post pictures of layouts and projects!!

Holidays

I can't believe December is just around the corner!!! My in-laws were here for Thanksgiving. Enough said about that. My daughter got her nose pierced. It started out as a joke, then she went and had it done for real. It looks cute but I was going to take her to get her belly button done for her 17th birthday. Have to think about it now.
This friday I am going to TEXAS!!!! My friend Dona is getting married!! She has found her man. I am so happy for her. It's great to see her smiling and so happy. She deserves it. Dona is one of my on-line scrapping friends. But she's also my "sister." She's always there when I need her. I'm also getting the chance to take one of my other "sisters" on her first airplane ride. That's Corinna. She's all confused right now and doesn't know what to feel so it's all jumbled up. On one hand she's excited to go to Dona's wedding, but then she's nervous about the plane ride, and being away from her little girl, and getting to meet the rest of our crazy scrap bunch. It will be a little bit sad that Erm and Klo won't be able to be there but we will just have to have a drink for each of them!! Gosh darn, hate to have to do that!!! lol Klo is sending a "flat klo" so she's there since she has met just about all of us!! Here's our little band of scrappers: Klo and Erm from Nebraska, Edie and Jill from California, Thea and Corinna from Illinois and Nikki and Dona from Texas. Now that's cool.

COLD!!!

OK-who turned off the heat??? My bottom is cold and I have a strange feeling it will be this way until May. And I don't like it. The weather person mentioned flurries and that doesn't make me happy either. Oh sure, pretty to look at but then they can go away. I have nothing against the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I lied, I do, I hate the running around and doing most of the work and worrying about what to get everybody and whether they like it or not and then Christmas Day comes and all he had to do was buy me something and he gave it no thought. Or very little thought. Then it's over and it's winter and I hibernate. Don't get anything done, just like a bear.
