Okay I did make a few cards this morning and will get them But today we took some time and did something we haven't done in a long time. We went to the San Antonio Zoo. It was nice. It was a little warm but I guess not too warm because we saw all the animals. They were all out. One of the bears was playing with this tree truck. She was determined to knock it down. She was take branches off and playing with them. Then we moved on down to the monkeys. As I was taking a picture of the ones up in the tree house one decided to pop down right in front of me. He was really cute and was hamming it up in front of the camera. My next favorite was the baby mountain goats. Just precious. And then we got to feed the birds. You buy this nectar to let them drink. And once you open the little container you have new friends. They are all over you trying to get a drink. I have included a few pictures of these that I have spoke about.
Enjoy I am off to bed but will update again tomorrow.

Wow again I slacked off and haven't been posting. We have been out of town all week and I haven't been in the studio. I am really needing to get in there as soon as I get home. Somethings I will be doing this week is Easter Cards, finishing some swaps, and a few pages I need to get done as well as ORGANIZING the room. I promise as soon as I am done I will post pictures for all who have asked. I have been hunting the world wide web for ideas and think I have finally figured out what I am going to do. It won't be hard it will just take a few days or weeks he he...
We do have good news Brittany did get her acceptance letter she has been waiting for and all is good.....
I will write more this week and post things as I make them.

Have a blessed weekend and enjoy the weather.

okay I know I was suppose to try to post each day while we were in Colorado. However I couldn't keep an internet connection long enough. I have pictures on my myspace and facebook. We really had a good time. The last night was a long chapel and it was really good. We got to pray with the kids and it was a special time.
I haven't done much since I got home. I am getting St Patricks day cards done so I can get them out today. I will scan and get them on here later. I have a lot to do really. I want to start scrapping Colorado to. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will post those cards later today or Monday.
Blessings..

March 2. We have been on the bus for about 17 hours. We left at 4 pm. Our first stop was Junction for dinner. Our next stop was Big Springs at about 10:30 pm or so. It took forever. Then we stopped in Amarillo to switch drivers. Then it was time to sleep. I slept pretty good. The best was waking up to a snow cap mountain. How all I could say was Thank You God! It is amazing to see the creations God made for us. Look at all these mountatins reminds me where all you need is a mustard seed of faith to move mountains. A mustard seed...... I believe God is doing something good for us right now and that soon our path will be open soon. We stopped in Pueblo Co at about 730 their time for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. It was yummy. We are about 2 hours away from our final destination of Buena Vista. I think we get to stop at Wally World to pick up anything we might have forgot. I will continue to post and see how I can post pictures as well.

Happy Friday to all my scrappin stampin buddies. Hope you all have happy plans for the weekend. I do well on Sunday I do.... I get to pick Brittany up from the airport. Of course I miss her body being in the house but she hasn't given me much time to miss miss her. We spend hours on the phone. She calls in the morning when she gets up and we talk for an hour. You know this college thing may workout okay after all. Of course I am still hoping we move close so she can stay at home when she wants and travel back and forth to school. But either way she will be great.
Well being that I have the house to myself yesterday and today I did get a lot done. I just finished some recipes this morning.
Now off to finish those Valentines. I will post them if I get them finished today.
Everyone have a Happy Friday.. Talk to you soon.

You like my new background? I love flip flops and found this perfect layout.
Yesterday I was in the studio all day. I am working on Valentine cards and also finished up some layouts to send out to Nome Alaska. I really think they came out cute. I haven't finished the Valentine cards yet but will try to do that today somewhere in the middle of getting everything together for Brittany's trip to Wyoming. She leaves tonight and will be back Sunday night. She is looking forward to seeing Chris and seeing what Wyoming is all about. We saw where yesterday they were suppose to get snow. She isn't nervous about the trip except for the Denver airport. It is a big place. She says she will probably be lost and have to spend her mini vacation there.
Okay so I did these layouts yesterday.

They are both 9x9 but my scanner is not.. I must look into getting one of those.

Wow this year is flying by it is the 14th of the month already. I haven't been doing everything I wanted to be doing this year yet. This week actually the 12th my dad celebrated his 69th birthday. Wow 69 years. He has accomplished so much in those 69 years and has so many years to go. I Love him so much..
On another note I have been creating.... I made these recipes for a swap I am doing. I have one more that I am a little stumped on but am going to try again in a few minutes.
Here they are what do you think?



I used my new cricut expressions to create the chicken and gingerbread boy. I used the retired SU set "Oh So Sweet" for the truffles.
Ink on the truffles: Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink. Pattern Paper is from a slab from Michael's and Wal-Mart.

I was actually sitting here laughing this morning as I posted these recipes. Just a few months ago I was booted from a group of snobby woman that I swapped with for over 2 years because my work was not good enough for them. Funny because my work is just fine for me and the others I swap with. Not to mention the few design teams that are interested in me. I am very excited about that. I will post more on that as time goes by. But for now I am still working on samples for them.

Well until later. Have a Blessed day and Happy Scrappin and Stampin.
