WEBKINZ

Ok who has them and who is addicted to them?Me -Me -Me-
I have to admit I love love love mine...now here I am a grown women and playing with a virtual reality pet...It is a stress relevier for me I think and just fun. I love to buy things and make new rooms....My little critter is a Cheeky Monkey named Otis! My friend Sherry bought it for the daycare but I am the one who plays with him mainly. I have one little girl who love to play but that is about all. When school is out on break then the older ones will be here to play and Otis will get a work out...Now for these games--I have to say there is some for everyone one.. Cash Cow 2 is my favorite. Smooth Moves not bad either. I go for the ones I make the most money on. I got my DD hooked she now has a Black Bear and GD has 3 now. Between DD and I --we make sure all of GD gets the freebies they offer.... well I could go on and on like I havn't already........so I am off like a pair of dirty socks......

Birthdays

Well yesterday was my grandaughters 12th birthday.It really is hard to believe she is 12 already.Time goes so fast these days. I can remember my mom saying this and wonder what she ment...now I know! She got her hair cut in a Symetrical Bob...they described it but I am waiting for the photos...sound cute and she is getting older. I wish I could of kept her small. She so loved to cuddle and give kisses then. her presents was a few Webkinz (I will post about my addiction to them later) a movie and clothes and a WII game oh and EASY MONEY (money you get for a holiday or
birthday that can be spent for fun).....I won't get to see her till right after Christmas (1 week). I do miss her sooooooooooooo much. It seems I am missing alot of her growing up by living so far away.it is a 20 hour round trip to go get her..with the high price of air fare we don't do that anymore--so we drive......I miss her soccer games--school and church plays and just seeing her grow up....ok that is enough boo hoo sad face here.....but it is SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN when I do get to see her so I will live for those days....so for now I will say
I LOVE YOU GOOBER FOR EVER AND EVER TILL THE END OF TIME AND THEN MORE......

I Won A Big Cricut Expression!!!!

Ok I havn't been here for awhile so I guess it is time to ramble for awhile. The best thing that happened is I won a Big Bug!!! yep can you believe it? Me little ol me that never wins anything.... I was so excited and happy I almost peed my pants...I said almost! My friend Kathi from the boards taked me into entering The Scrap Pink Weekend contest....I wasn't to sure because my layouts are simple alot of the time and I don't even come close to the really GREAT Layouts the ladies do on the boards...but I gave it a try and the money went for a very great cause...that is what really mattered..at least to me. The prizes would bethe topping of the cake....
Well I worked hard all weekend and posted and uploaded (which I hate to do) to the right places. the games was fun to play and all the ladies was great... The design team members had us doing some very interesting and fun layouts and projects..except I have come to realize I will be buying my bows and NOT making them....lets just say mine was sad! Very Sad looking..... My pie slice box was ok but I don't alter alot of things but I gave it my best and when I found out I had won.. I was one excited cookie!!! My Dh came into the room to see what was the matter....He just laughed and said do I need to build a shelf for it?

Now the next thing that was really fun was I found out the sex of my second grandchild.......A GIRL.............. so now I will have 2 girls to spoil rotten but hey isn't that what grammas are for.......at least that is what my mom did to my kids....I just wish she was here to see this one but she has been gone for 9 years now.....I do miss her so...I find my DD doing and talking to me the way I use to my mom and it brings back so many memories but they are good ones!

ok i have some patterns and I will try and get them on here soon if I don't get lost again....
so till later

Where Has The Time Gone?

Well I am back I hope.I am sorry I havn't been here to chat more but my family and life comes first. Lets see since mylast post we have taken our GD home--boy do we miss her! but we will see her at Christmas for a week so I am sure the time will pass quickly. We found out we are going to be grandparents againin Jan. We don't know what it is as of yet but that is ok .We really don't care as long as it is healthy-- what ever happened to the excitement of waiting to find out when the baby was born? So now our GD will be a big sister-a really big big sister.. Our GD is 12 last of Oct. but she is excited about it...
Now I hope to be able to get some things cut and posted soon. if the time permits I should say.so for now I will say a fond good-by....

New Scrapin Blogs

I have added some new blogs I like to go visit and get ideas from and just read. Hope you all will check them out. they are very nice ladies on my Happy Scrappin site I visit all the time......
Diane

Where Have I Been......

Where has the time gone? I have been so busy I have not had time to even write on my blog let alone come check it out. No I have not been off scrapin somewhere... Life is where I have been...We celebrated Father's Day early this year because we will be driving home on this day with our GD and dear dad needed to figure out how to work his new camera (Nikon D 300).. now that is the camera of cameras LOL! You see our Gd Dance Recital will be going on when we go pick her up for her summer vacation with us--so as a good gramma and scraper I NEED photos!!!

Now as for the Wheather it has calmed down here for awhile I hope... I have always lived close to tornado alley but I had them.. they scare me to doo wopies!You can not believe the devistation they cause until you see it in person...a photo does not do it justice.. you only see a spot of it when you see it in person you see the whole picture and let me tell you it is BAD! How anyone came out of it alive is ..well a blessing from above......

Now I wonder how many people come to read my blog or to get free patterns.. I am guilty of doing both when I visit blogs..LOL I can't say I am very interesting but I let off some steam this way so I think it is good to have a blog as long as you don't reveal anything to personal..... do you blog?

Well I am off to start my day and we are to have a high of 89 degrees today and rain tonight--now that makes for a humid day tomorrow I'm sure!!!
so farewell for now....

Tornadoes and Hail Storms..

Sat was not a good day for my neck of the world. I live close to Pitcher ,Olk and the surounding towns that the tornadoes went thru.hail the size of base balls.... We happen to be in Branson, Mo when our son called to tell us about all that was happening in our area.. We decided to stay a little longer in Branson area and then head home and hope we miss the storms.... well on our way toward Springfield,Mo. the radio was telling where the tornadoes was heading.....right toward us...we drove onward and for the grace of god and prayers we were in the middle--they were behind us and in front of us passing..We saw debrie falling from the sky and all and that was scary enough for me.. I was worried about the kids at home even though they are grown but I was told the storm was already passed them. Our DD is an RN and was called in for Emerg. Disaster at her hospital in Joplin, Mo. It wiped out one whole town and destroyed alot more. Alot of deaths. It truly was a bad tornado..my heat and prayers goes out to all those familys who were affected. I think I will leave it here for now and please take the time to say a short prayer for those of the storm.

Senior Word Book

OK here is a word book I have cut out but not put together. You will have to change the name inside to your own personal name but it cuts clean. At least mine did! I am hoping some of you that download these files or patterns what ever you want to cal them mite send me some of the ones you make so I can see them. Well have fun.

Later I will post a photo of my new car my DH bought me.
