Is it a Bear or Mouse?

Hi,

I am seeing it makes a lot of difference in being tired all the time to having energy again. I actually feel like creating.

Here is my prototype a swap on PC Website that I joined. It is for Cheryl's swap. :) This is similar to the bunny I made at Easter....but it is supposed to be a bear. Though I think it looks more like a mouse. I only had enough light brown textured paper to make 3 circles to cut in half. LOL

I know I wasn't supposed to join anymore swaps for awhile...but I couldn't resist. I also joined a scrap and images already inked swap. I have tons of images from people...and never thing to use them.

PS...the paper is from the new SEI Collection I bought yesterday. Not sure if it goes...but I love it.

Birthday & Mother's Day

I am currently the big 35!!! :) My birthday was last friday. I had a nice time. Sheldon and I went out to dinner and hung out at the bookstore. You can definitely tell that I am not a party animal.

Here is the birthday card that Sheldon made me for my birthday. I was supposed to get a laptop, however, it was running a little late. LOL I should get it in the next day or so.
Today I went to lunch with a friend. Afterwards...I went to Michael's. I guess my buying hiatus is over. I bought a few things....here is the Mother's Day Card I made with the new supplies. I am glad my mom is pretty understanding.....since I am late. As usual.
Thanks for looking.

Shoe Toss

Hi,

Here are the ATC's that I am sending out for the PCMB Shoe Toss. I made 8 of them and they will be going out tomorrow. That is my last official swap that I am signed up for. YIKES.....all that is left to do is finish my cj's.....my goal is to do them by this weekend. (They look a little crooked...because I did black on black for the picture.)

Thanks for looking. Have a great day!!! Jennie

Another One Down!!!

Hi,

This is my last swap on my PC list. :) I told Jen I was going to mail it on Tuesday. But, I hated what turned out....so I came up with a new one this morning. I like it much better.

Here is my first try. Now here is the finished project. I have a few circle journals to do...I received them late because noone wanted to mail them to me...then everyone mailed them to me at the same time. LOL Plus, I joined one other circle journal where I get to make all the pages the same and can send them all in at the same time. They are due in May....so I better get started on them.

Other than finishing up my bookclub recipe cards....I am done!!! Plus, I am done with school as of Monday. So....I am hoping that I will be feeling better to sign up for some more. Or just do some PIF's because I am going to be bored!!! Well at least untill the baby comes.....but we still have awhile for that. I go for my yearly physical on Monday and I am hoping we can hear the heartbeat....I think my next ultrasound isn't untill the 16th week.

Hope you have a great day!!!

One Down!!!!

I won't even think of how many more to go. LOL A few! This was for a beaded ATC swap that I signed up for in February I think. I made one card then and just finished making earrings for it and doing the other 4 yesterday. It went into the mail this morning. Hopefully everyone likes them and they are worth being late.Thanks for looking!!!

I'm still behind....

Hi all!!!

I have been so far behind on everything.....I have one more week and then I am done with school.

I have a couple of things to post...however, I have been a bit slow in taking pictures of them. :)

Not much else going on.....just tired!!! Found out today that I am a wanna be vegeterian!!! I did some online recipe hunting....looking for away to add more veggies in my life. Ever recipe except for one...had no meat in it. I guess I will have to add some chicken or stuff to a couple of the recipes.

Tonight is going to be chili....most people don't like chili when it is hot. However, I can eat it all the time. Plus, Sheldon likes it too.

Have a great night!!!

I'm ready to share......

Here is why I have been feeling tired all the time. :) I am PREGNANT!!! The baby's birthday is estimated to be November 17,2008.

We went to the doctor today and had our second ultrasound. Everything looks good so far. Originally my dates were off....so I was a bit nervous. My LMP was February 11th....however....we are going with February 21st.

The baby is 8w6d and is 2.11 cm's....which is about right especially since I am not quite 9 weeks. Plus the heart rate is 174....which is perfect. I guess around 12 weeks it should go back down.

I think this wil take a lot of my initial stress off and I will be able to concentrate on what I need to do. (Which is of course lots of homework!!!! YUCK.)

Here are the pics!!!!

Here are the other ones....

As you probably can see....I didn't spend too much time with my photos. I was rushing and trying to beat the batteries. I hadn't changed them since before going to New Orleans and they were about dead. I am hoping in a day or so to get those pictures up. It was a fantastic time.

What do you do?

When you sign up for a swap....where you have to be super CREATIVE????? I joined a swap where each week I received a new item in the mail----this goes with my balance beam pigs. I thought that card was really creative. Well since then I haven't felt very creative and put off the swap a bit. It was due to be mailed out on Thursday....I was in New Orleans so I let the hostess know it was going to be a little late. Luckily for me---we are both in the same state.

The other items I received were--toothpick, metal ring, coaster, piece of cardboard, piece of acetate, coffee warmer, and a circle made out of paper towels.

I might have to put all the pics into two seperate posts....but here is what I finally came up with. I hope she likes them. Thanks for looking.

New Signature

Hi, I was checking out some new blogs and Katie P. at I was Thinking had a post on how to create one with free website. So I checked it out---My Live Signature I came up with my signature...now lets see yours.

Card Candy

Don't ask me why.....LOL Why did I sign up for a card candy swap? :) I love looking at them...but they are so hard to make. My PCMB friend Wanda came up with a cool idea....a Golden Ticket Card Candy Swap. She did hers as a candy bar. I couldn't resist and I signed up. But then I blanked out. However, here is what I came up with for the swap. I ended up using my bookmark envelopes and didn't make it look like candy...but hopefully everyone will like them.
