Is it FRIDAY yet?

I love Fridays...normally that means that my weekend starts for me and I can take a break from the working world...although Fridays are one of my hardest days of the week, I still love them. After work, I get to sleep for a couple of hours, get up and get the little one from school and we go get Chinese and some movies...she loves that we get movies together for the weekend...that normally means that she gets to have a friend over, either for the night or just to hang out, watch movies and play games...so what about your weekends? Is there something that you do every Friday like clockwork?

On a lighter side, here's a few projects I forgot to post the other day....the first is the bag set that goes along with the mug that I posted a week ago. It's abit different, but I really like the outcome...

this is a dvd movie that I made from the photos of my brother-in-law's night before the wedding with everyone partying at the club.

this is a 3x3 notepad holder. I need to go and buy some to fill it though...lol..

this is a little gift bag that I made using the cuts from the stuffed snowman posted below...I usually make a few cuts when I'm working on a project to get the right size of something, and this one an extra cut I had made...

and this last project is a stuffed snowman shaker...it was inspired by a couple of ladybugs over at the blog. ...they are jsut soo crafty and I loved it when they had posted a couple projects using material...

I don't know what I'm going to do with this yet, but I'm sure I will figure something out...

Thanks for stopping in...I hope everyone has a great weekend ahead...

WOW....

twice in one week....that's great for me....I just wanted to make a short post...I forgot to mention yesterday about the sale going on over at Hallmark Scrapbook site in their store...if you haven't gone over lately, stop, drop and roll right on over....lol... Hallmark Scrapbook here's a little fella that I worked on today....still deciding if I'm going to make him into a stand or into a card...each cut was made with chipboard then housed with a layer of material and backed with black cardstock....and the beard and hair I cut from that fun fur stuff you get from the craft store...messy---that stuff is really messy---lots of fur flying everywhere--lol...but it's so fun to play with.... Thanks for stopping by... hugs from Charm City

Happy New Years Eve

This will be my last post of the year.....not that I had many this year, but nonetheless, it's the last one....and can you believe this year is already gone by...so many things happened that I wanted to document, but just haven't had the time to...

On a lighter note, I have photos of our newest addition to our family...Makayla Grace...she was just the most adorable little baby...quiet...no fussing....jsut blowing bubbles and wide eyed and bushy tailed....lol....

Christmas was just the greatest...I had all of the girls home for Christmas morning....not to mention the grandbabies were here also....and Bayleigh was jsut too cute....she came out and seen a bike sitting in front of the tree, and said, look mommie what Santa brought me...and then she laughed...priceless moments I tell ya....

We had a house full once again on Christmas...both families came for dinner and presents...it was so kaotic.....and once again, I ended up getting sick...yep, sick again...right now as I type this to you all....it seams like I am just destinned to be sick during the holidays and on our vacations....at least that is one thing I can count on...being sick....lol....

I want to tell you about what happened this morning on my way home from work...it's 6:30 in the morning, I'm chatting on the phone to a friend, and I'm just getting off the interstate at my normal exit. Well when I got onto the road there, I noticed a car on my side of the road, but it was facing me....I thought to myself that something must have happened...and at that moment, I see this truck on the other side of the road, hit the mediun and start doing flips in the air just in front of me. I was so stunned that this was happening....I stopped, as many others did, to make sure who ever was in it was ok...luckily, he was just shaken up....but that leads me to think that our life is just so precious....that in an instant it can all be taken away from us...if I would have just been a couple of seconds earlier, his truck could have hit me...not to mention, I could have been the one to hit the ice patch on the bridge....alot of could halves...but it still got me to thinking......

Well I hope that everyone has a wonderful New Years....here are some photos that were taken at Christmas, Halloween and then one of the girl scout troop doing a fashion show at one of the local stores at the mall.....
