Project 365 Day 69

Today was filled with my normal Tuesday stuff except that the Direct TV guy had to come back to fix something he did wrong. This time he ame with a partner who happened to recognize Megan's husband Mike from one of the pictures on my shelf. Turned out he went to grace school, middle school, and high school with Megan. He will be my picture for today----Small World.

Here's a news flash for all of you---Hold on to your socks! I am supposed to get my computer back tomorrow! Cross your fingers and toes. I'll let you all know. There may actually be a real picture attached to my Project 365 project tomorrow.

Project 365 Day 68

Today is Monday and for some reason Monday's often are tough for me (rather like the song). This Monday was no exception. Except for having an instalation guy here to change me from Dish Network to Direct TV, I accomplished zilch. My imaginary picture for today is of the Direct TV guy. What excitement!

Project 365 Day 67

Today was another day spent with Matilda. What a cutie! Just imagine another cute picture of her playing in my yard. She doesn't have a yard to play in at home and she just loves it. She got to stay and go to church with me tonight and afterward I took her to Dickies for dinner. Then it was home to give her back to her parents---sob, sob. I can console myself with the fact that I get to take her with me on a camping trip in a couple of weeks thought---YEAH!

Project 365 Day 66

Busy, busy day! Went to a class this morning and then Matilda and I left straight from there to go to Wingfield Park and hear Christian bands. Megan and Mikey stopped by as well. My church's worship team is a band we call "Broken Branches" and they were the second to the last ROCKED!! I was so proud and they are my imaginary picture for the day. After that M and I took at trip to Toys R Us and WalMart then home to collapse in the living room in front of the TV. Whew!

Project 365 Day 65

I had Matilda here with me for the day and then went to dinner with my friend Cheryl. What a lovely day! Even better---Matilda will be back tomorrow and will be spending the remainder of the weekend with me! Cheryl and I ate at Los Compadres on 4th Street and today's picture is of the Mariachi Band, snapped as they sang a happy, happy song at our table. Thanks guys! I enjoyed it!
Oh! And while I'm doing imaginary pictures, I should include one of Cheryl in her new haircut! I think she would prefer that it be imaginary since it is VERY short. She did a little snipping of her own at home last night and had to go out and get emergency hairstylist help. Her little pixie cut is going to be perfect for summer. Wash and go! I'm feeling a little jealous.

Project 365 Day 64

Today I worked for a while at TMI. My friend Linda came in for a bit and I met her mother who has come to live with her. Imagine a picture of there smiling faces for today.

Project 365 Day 63

Today I spent a productive day with a friend, so imagine a picture of Janice here. She would probably prefer the imaginary picture to a real one being posted here anyway.

Project 365 Day 62

Since I am still doing imaginary pictures (GRRRR!), today's imaginary picture is of my therapist. I see him every Tuesday and will never have the nerve to ask for a real picture. So---Just imagine a picture of a real life saver here. It is only with his help and God's that I have survived the last couple of years. Thanks so much to my heavenly Father for carrying me in His arms and----Thanks Jim!

Project 365 Day 61

For some reason I am down in the dumps this evening, so today's imaginary picture is a self portrait of me with a frown on my face----lovely!

Project 365 Day 60

Today I had Megan, Mikey, Rochelle, Mike and Matilda over to the house to have a BBQ. That's right---I now have a BBQ! First a patio set and now a BBQ---as soon as I find myself a little leaf blower I'm going to be such a happy camper. Anyway, we had a great time and Megan made us homemade ice cream for the first time in the ice cream freezer they got as a wedding gift. I took quite a few cute pictures today, so just imagine pics of Matilda playing in her swimming pool, watering her strawberries, playing with a pill bug and enjoying her yummy ice cream.

Project 365 Day 59

This morning I went out to a few yard sales and then I was supposed to scrap until 10pm. Once there I really didn't feel so hot, so I didn't stay long. I then came home and curled up on the couch to watch Avatar. Really liked it, but would have loved to see it in 3D on the big screen. Although I didn't scrap long, I did manage to finish the next kit I will be offering for sale. That is my picture for today. The kit has a graduation theme and the picture will be uploaded to the No Time 2 Scrap blog as soon as I get my computer back. I bet you are all getting sick of hearing my say that! Believe me, I'm not thrilled about it either!

Project 365 Day 58

My friend Cheryl come over today with her grandaughter Taylor. We scrapped while Taylor watched the movie Aladdin, and then Cheryl and I watched the movie Valentine's Day. I loved it and I knew she would too. My imaginary picture for today is of that movie which I have added to my small collection right next to Love Actually. I now have a favorite for Christmas time and one for Valentine's Day.

Project 365 Day 57

Hello Everyone!
This evening I taught my evening card class for the month. My imaginary pictures for today are of the cards I taught. As soon as I can add real pictures intead of imaginary ones, I will be adding the pics to my blog and offering the left over kits for four of the five cards for sale. I had a lovely class tonight and got to stay afterward to visit with two of my dearest friends. If I haven't said so lately, I have been blessed with some of the best. I hope each and every one of you have friends in your life as great as the ones I have in mine. I truly could not get by without them!

Project 365 Day 56

Taught my daytime June card class today so imagine a picture of my students diligently working on their cards for today. I hope they all liked them. I am all ready for my class tomorrow night and I have watered my yard, done some more weeding and laid the six new paving stones I bought. I have another project I should work on tonight, but instead I've got a date with my couch, a heating pad, a movie and a little white dog. Ahh..indulgence! I think I'll have a bite of chocolate as well!

Project 365 Day 55

Today was spent getting ready for my card class tommorow. I was in quite a state without my computer to print out the greetings that I needed so today's imaginary picture is of my friend's Mac computer. She was kind enough to let me come over to print the things I needed, but her beautiful Mac is new to her, so I had to figure out where the word processing program was and how to use it. Well I figured it out, learned a bit nad was able to finish my prep for class tomorrow. Whew! Sometimes I just make it by the skin of my teeth and I don't like it that way! I am a planner and like everything neatly organized, ready and planned. Maybe next month...

Project 365 Day 54

Today I slept in way too late. The girls and I scrapped the night away until quite late last night, so I indulged myself. My daughter Megan and her hubby Mike celebrated their first anniversay today. Can't believe it---My kidlets are real adults. Doesn't seem possible. Anyway, the traditional gift for the first anniversary is paper. Perfect opportunity for a scrapping mom to make her kids a scrapbook! I finished it up today and took it by to them after church tonight. They spent the weekend in Tahoe together, and the paper bag album I made them is meant for their pictures from the weekend. It turned out pretty cute and since I have extra materials, I am going to offer it as a small class in my home. I took pictures of it which are my pictures for today. When my computer comes home I will be posting them on the "No Time 2 Scrap" blog with information about the class.

Hope that will be soon! Cross your fingers!

Project 365 Day 53

Today was filled with more errands and more scrapping. Debbi came over to scrap with me and then Cheryl called and came over as well. She came bearing gifts. She brought these yummy, yummy things she makes with biscuits and they are my imaginary picture for today. She brought them to Donna Jean's weekend made with cherries and they were SO good! This time she made them with peaches which I really loved as well. I'd share the recipe with you, but I have forgotten it already. I plan on getting it from her though. Yummy and easy---That's for me!

Project 365 Day 52

I'm scrapping the day and evening away today, but this morning I ran a couple of errands which included a stop at Home Depot to purchase the three more rolls of sod I needed to complete the little grass area I've made in my yard. I got it all laid and I've taken a picture which, of course, you can't see. My lawn is 18 square feet which might sound like a lot (at least it does to me), but it is really just enough for grandbabies to have picnics and swimming pools. Just a note to any of you running out to buy sod---Get a man! Those suckers are heavy! It may take the whole weekend for my back to recover.

Project 365 Day 51

I worked at Treasured Memories today and my imaginary picture is of my friends Debbi, Robyn and Linda who were there scrapping and keeping me company.

Project 365 Day 50

MONTHS ago in the dead of winter, my car's battery gave up the ghost and I had to have a new one installed. That engaged the radio's anti-theft thingy and my radio stopped working, It took me a long while to figure out what was going on, but finally discovered that I had to enter a secret code into the radio to make it work again. The secret code was supposedly on a card in the owner's manual---not so for me. Without the code, it said that you had to do a certain little trick to make the radio tell you what its serial number was and then call the Honda dealership, give them the serial number, and they would give you the secret code to turn your radio back on. This was all too much for me to bear, so I have been riding around with no radio ever since. These are the types of things for which I depend on a man and as you all know, I haven't had one for quite some time. I was to pick up my computer today (another horrifying story) so I got up determined to get some things taken care of that I have put off doing. I got in the car and tried to do the little trick with the radio so that it would give up its serial number to me to no avail. I decided that while out I would go to the dealer and see if they could help me. I took off, made a return at Michaels, picked up my computer at Best Buy (snarl), went through the drive through at Taco bell and headed down Kietzke hoping that's where the Honda dealer would be. It was and I headed into the service department with my tale of woe. The nice gentleman told me to pull my car right in and in less than 10 minutes my car radio was working and I was on my way. WHAT A DORK I AM! It has been months and months! Oh well, at least the radio is working again. Wish I could say the same for my computer! Now that I have made this post, I am headed back to Best Buy to find out why my USB port still doesn't work.

Project 365 Day 49

Have I mentioned what great friends I have? Today's picture is of my new patio set. My friend Tracey found it for me at a yard sale this past weekend and it is fabulous! I'm sure you will see it in future posts when I get my computer back. I spent several hours in my yard yesterday and have nearly completed all my weeding. It's looking great so I took some pictures this morning.

Project 365 Day 48

Today's imaginary picture is of the next kit I have completed for sale. It is another one with a western theme---great for rodeo time. It's titled "Rough and Ready." Scrapper's Paradise got in some wonderful flocked paper in that I just had to use. It will be posted on the No Time 2 Scrap blog as soon as I get my computer back. It is going to sell for $7 and since some are already spoken for, there is a very limited supply available.

Project 365 Day 47

Today I was able to get nearly all the pieces cut for the layout for Tuesday's Calendar Class. My imaginary picture is of that layout. It's entitled "It's a Guy Thing." If all goes well during class, I will have enough paper left over to make two extra kits for the layout only which I will be offering for sale. If that happens a real picture will be posted on the new blog I have started---www.notimetoscrapbook.blogspot.com. In the evening it was off to church for a potluck before services. I love my new church!

Project 365 Day 46

Finally got out of the house today. I was even up bright and early! I was scheduled to go to a friends house to scrap for the day and was ready too early to go so I went to a few yard sales. My imaginary picture of the day is a a sweet little Longaberger basket I picked up for only $5. After that I had a day and night full of---What else?---Scrapbooking!

Project 365 Day 45

My imaginary picture for today is of my car. It was left with the valet service at the emergency room on Wednesday night and I only just got it back tonight. It is amazing how much we take our cars for granted when we are used to having them right there at our service. I hope you all will join me in welcoming my Honda CRV back home where she belongs.
Welcome home______! Oh my goodness! She needs a name! Maybe you can all help me come up with one. I welcome all suggestions.

Project 365 Day 44

I have guardian angels in my life disguised as good friends. One of them was there for me all day today. My imaginary picture for today is of the Hawk Clinic which is where I spent nearly the whole day. My dear frind Julie was with me for every step. They have fixed me up temporarily and I have to go back soon and have the remaining part of the tooth pulled. Sounds like fun, huh? Would any of you like to do it for me? I'm taking volunteers.

Project 365 Day43

Today will not go down as one of my favorite days. My imaginary picture is of the emergency room at Renown. I was relaxing, watching TV and enjoying a snack of Crunch N Munch when I bit down and heard a loud crack. It was my bottom back tooth on the left side cracking right in two. I ended up in the emergency room where they patched me up temporarily as best they could and sent me home with good drugs. It's off to the Hawk Clinic tomorrow to deal with my latest disaster.

Project 365 Day 42

I sort of checked out today. I completely forgot an appointment I had at 1:00. I cancelled my standing appointment I have every Tuesday (something I NEVER, NEVER do), and I didn't go to Tuesday night scrapping. I really felt crummy and for most of the day could not even keep my eyes open. For my picture today you can imagine a boring picture of me with my eyes closed.

Project 365 Day 41

Today was Memorial Day and both scrapbook stores were closed for the day. That means there were scrappers out there needing a place to scrap on their holiday. I selflessly took two of those scrappers of the street and gave them scrapping space. Julie, Debbi and I had a good time scrapping the day away.

Project 365 Day 40

Day I ran a bunch of errands until it was time to head to Bible Study and church, all the while being very jealous of my friends Tracey and Casey and my daughter Megan who got to attend the Tim McGraw concert tonight. Just imagine a picture of Tim here while I imagine that I got to go to the concert.

Project 265 Day 39

Today I headed out to scrap for the day, but I stopped at a few yard sales on the way. Didn't find much but I did buy a set of turquoise rings that I really like. Would love to show you. Just imagine a picture of my hand on this post.

Project 365 Day 38

There were no crops to attend at the stores today. What horror! Well, we just had to scrap, so we did it at my house. What a surprise! Completed the sample layout for my next kit. It's theme is Smores. Hope you will like it. A picture will be on its way soon.

Project 365 Day 37

I am not giving up on my project, but I had to take my computer in for repair and won't be able to upload my pictures for a while. So--no pictures, but I worked a few hours at TMI today and then had friends over to scrap the night away. If I had a picture to post it would have been of the very cute layout I completed. I'm sure you would have loved it!
