Challenges!

This is Sheila's challenge! What a fun one, LOL.

~~5 Wierd Habits~~

1. Sometimes, I can't talk and get all tounge tied. For instance, i was talking to Jason last night and said Seat Heeking instead of Heat Seeking, LOL. I've done this so many times, ROFL.

2. The very first thing I look at when I get up is Scrappy Chic. Usually the last thing before I go to bed, but not always, depends on what I'm doing.

3. In order to fall asleep, I have to rub my feet together in a circular motion. Used to drive Jason crazy...now I think he's used to it, LOL. I also twirl my hair around my finger when I'm tired. Used to do that when I was little and I still do, LOL.

4. I talk with my hands. I have a very hard time talking if Jason is holding my hand. He once told me to sit on my hands to try to talk. Couldn't do it, LOL. I also tend to pace when I talk on the phone. Or I'm always doing soemthing else like doodling, or something. I can't just talk on the phone.

5. I hate walking over man hole covers, or gates of any kind. Or if there is a metal covering on the floor or outside, I won't walk on it. They just freak me out!

How's that for werid??? Hope you guys will still be my friend, LOL.


Now I'm also challenging you to post about 5 funny things that you have done or said. LOL, after this you all will think I'm even more nuts, LOL.

~~5 funnies about me!~~

1. I once walked into a glass door. Jason thought I was kidding and said that it looked like something out of a movie. I thought that the door was automatic and would open for me....I busted up laughing right after it happened. Jason was worried that I was hurt, I wasn't, LOL.

2. When Ma, Dad, and I were driving somewhere, I was amazed at the size of the cornfield. I said, in utter amazement, "There's a lot of corn in that field over there." Mom and dad started cracking up and said yea, that's cuz it's a cornfield, LOL.

3. I was drivng in the car with Jason, Sue, Julie, and Ma. I was following a grater and asked, "Sooo....is it okay to pass this." In my defense, I was thinking that it was like a snowplow that you shouldn't pass, LOL. They still tease me about that one!!!

4. I meant to say, Big Black Smoke Cloud and it came out, "Big-bak-moke-coud." You should have seen the look that Jason gave me. It was one of those what-the-hell-are-you-trying-to-say looks.

5. Me on Christmas Eve. 'Nuff said.

Another Christmas Challenge

1. Growing up at home, we each got at least 1 ornament each year. When we packed the tree away we each got our own box. When we put the tree up, we each got to put up our box of ornaments. When I moved out of the house, Ma gave me my box of ornaments. I love putting them up on the tree. Full of memories!! Jason and I continue to carry this tradition.

2. There has only been 1 year that we have not had a real Christmas tree. Usually we get a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree, but this year, we got a beautiful nice full Christmas tree.

3. I remember getting up on Christmas morning, and seeing my cabbage patch highchair sitting in front of the Christmas tree. I think that was my favorite gift that year.

4. I remember getting a Tea Set when I was 12 or 13 and was thinking that the gift must have been Susan's because I was too old for plastic tea set. I was going to tell Grandma Gladys and then Jodi opened the same gift, so I knew it was for me. I was disappointed because Grandma Gladys gave really cool gifts.

5. Jason and I don't suprise each other on Chrimstas. We know what we are getting eachother. We haven't done stockings yet, and I don't know if we will or not. If we do, that might not be a surprise either!

6. I'm feeling stressed because I'm not done wrapping presents and Christmas is this weekend.

7. I second guess a ton of gifts I buy for people. I don't want to come across as cheap or gift them a gift that will end up in the White Elephant pile.

8. I don't like to give gift cards as gifts. I would much rather buy people a gift. Jason used to buy everyone a Best Buy gift card for Christmas, but now I think he enjoys shopping for actual gifts.

Scrappy Chic is down...

Jason was installing a mod for me and something went wrong, LOL. We need a sessions table in the database and it isn't there. Jason is working on trying to fix it, but it might take a while...he hopes to have it up this morning before he goes to sleep, but he's not having any luck so far....

I need my Scrappy Chic fix....

I don't know many e-mails, but thought I would post on my blog, incase you are wondering what is going on...hopefully the board will be up soon!

Here it is!

Advent Calendar...finished!

Here is my finished Advent Calendar!


Took forever, but was so worth it. I {LOVE} it!!!

Journaling Prompts?

I'm looking for a site that has a question of the day, or like a journaling prompt of the day. Something to go with the seasons and such.....like for December, Christmas themed ones....oh and I want a free one....LOL. Demanding aren't I? Anyone have any ideas???? Please...I'm begging here.............................

Ornaments

Here are the Christmas Ornaments that I decorated up a bit.

First one is Let it Snow...I used the Heidi Swapp Corner Rub on's and just cut the Let it Snow out. I also put a little bit of that fake snow in there as well, since I thought it looked too plain.


This next one is also an ornament. I took one of the wooden Chatterbox frames printed a picture to go in it, attached fun fur to hang it, put paper over the back and cut off the brad fasteners and used the brads to decorate it. I also use Making Memories Rub Ons to add sisters to the frame.


This third ornament, I cut strips of 12 by 12 paper, I believe it was the Reminensce Brand (Shimmery, like KI paper) in half and then in half again, curled them around a pen, and twisted them to make them more curly and filled the ornament with them.



This last one is my favorite so far....I filled the ball with Fun Fur (got glass in my finger while doing it), and added the Heidi Swapp Tape to the Outside. {LOVE} This one.


I also have 1 more that I did that I haven't take pictures of yet. Will post that as soon as I take pictures. It is done! Also I realized that the pictures just do not do the ornaments justice....they look better in person.....
