I did it!
I finally took a weekend off!! My life has been terrible busy since I started my new job the first of the year. For those of you who don't know......Starting the first of January the Dr's that I work for asked if I would be willing to stay home and do medical transcription 3 days a week and come into the office and deal with posting all of the insurance payments and deal with insurance issues. Sounded scary but I was willing to try!! So I bought a new laptop, got wireless Internet (so I could go anywhere and type) and all of the equipment and books needed to get me going! I turned one of our bedrooms into my office and away I went! Well, maybe not!!! I didn't realize what was involved in doing transcription nor did I realize how slow of a typist I was. Hey, I hadn't really had to type for about 25 years. EEK!!! I shed many a tear the first 2 weeks and now into my third week......I think I'm going to make it!! Whew!!! Thank God I know my medical terminology otherwise I would be toast!
Sunday brought us about 4" of new snow and Monday about 20mph winds. Okay, 4" doesn't sound life that much but when the wind blows it around......blah!! Needless to say about 18" of that snow is packed in my lane. My car is going nowhere!!! So I'm taking a few minutes this morning to update my blog. hehe!! It's only 5:30am so I have a bit before I need to start working. Oh, by the way......it's 16 BELOW ZERO here this morning!!! Brrrrrrr!
We had a super fun cyber crop this weekend over at Scarp-A-Latte hosted by Sarah M.!! Now that girl can come up with some fun challenges! I think I managed to complete 4 new LO's. Oh and I had to finish my "Dancing With The Stars" elimination contest LO that I had been working on all week. Nothing like a stressful job to ZAP your mojo!! Yep.....I made it to the final round of the contest and now I just have to wait. I was competing against my friend Sarah E. and I told by hubby and DIL that I think she may have kicked my butt on this final LO!!!!! The final challenge was a 2 pager and I am terrible at them!! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for me but it would be cool if Sarah won too! I'll keep you posted!! ;)
Here are the LO's I did for the crop and a couple for the DWTS challenge. This LO was for my final challenge.....create a 2 PAGER!!! AAAAAAA!! Well this is what I came up with. Nana pulled MayCee's very first tooth (well loose one anyway) on the Friday after Christmas and on the very next Friday she had another one ready to come out. I was going to pull it too but I kept getting a hold of her retainer so.......SHE PULLED IT HERSELF!!!! She is such a brave little girl!! Oops.....Big Girl!! She would be mad at me for calling her a little girl!! :rolleyes:
This was a DWTS challenge to portray the title of your LO using no letter and you could use no patterned paper. Wow....had to get creative with this one. Kiaya's picture worked great with the new stamps I had just gotten in the mail. I bought them from Scrap-A-Latte and they are by Unity Stamps. If you haven't checked out Unity Stamps.....YOU ARE MISSING OUT BECAUSE THEY ROCK!!!! Don't ya just love her little shirt saying "Made You Smile"!?!
The rest of these are from the crop this weekend. I did my very first 8.5x11 LO and I must say, I could get used to that size!!! LOVED IT!!
This is our Christmas picture this year. My hubby was pissed at the gal taking pictures so I think is shows on his face in most of our pictures!!
On this one it is a ClearScraps acrylic sheet and I just put the black in back so I could scan it! I used a fingernail file on the sides of it to give it that frost cloud like appearance. Cool huh!?!
This is Tailee and BV. OMG.....she looks so little! She is still this way with all of her animals. She loves to cover them up!!!
Thanks for visiting my blog today and check back later and I'll let you know who won the Dancing With The Stars contest.....or better yet, check out Scrap-A-Latte and come join the fun!!!

Happy New Year
Here's wishing you all a very Happy New Year! I'm not sorry to see 2008 go. It has not been one of our better years and I'm praying 2009 is much better! So....do you make New Years resolutions? I have made one in my life that I have actually kept. That was to quit smoking and that was 8 years ago!! Haven't touched one since! WooHoo!!! Now to get hubby to quit. My main one this year is to get my scrapbooking shtuff organized!! OMG.....I hate to even think about it!
We are a very cold 8 degrees right now and I swear....I think I'm going to freeze to death!!! I'm sitting here on the sofa with my laptop in my lap so I can feel the heat on my legs. Ahhhh, toasty. Poor hubby is outside trying to install a new storm door on our back door. Of course it faces north and when the wind blows we can't keep it from blowing right through the door! Gaaahhh!!! He keeps coming in and trying to warm his poor fingers in front of the new heater we bought. We bought an Eden Pure infrared heater and I have to say that I just love it. We have all the thermostats set to 60 in the whole house and this little heater is heating our entire upstairs. Well, except for this morning!! It wasn't quite able to keep the whole house warm enough with it getting to 15 degrees below zero last night. It was able to maintain at 66 though.
I am still in the elimination contest at Scrap-A-Latte!! YeeHaw! Here are the LO's that I have posted so far!!
I have really been having a lot of fun doing these challenges. I love to do challenges!!
We had our family picture done this year and this is the gift that I have made for my Mom and Dad. I'm really happy with how it turned out! I put it in a shadow box and it looks really cool!
Thanks for visiting my blog today and I hope you all have a great week!!!
BTW....I'll post my Sketches! {by tamara} DT LO tomorrow!! I think it turned out really cute but then again, when you have such cute granddaughters to scrap how could it not turn out cute!?! ;)
Have a great one!!
