ok, this is what happens when you take your own picture. I made my Mom a scrapbook about her life accomplishments. I included pictures of each of us kids, when were were babies, kids, and now. This is my Now picture. Whenever I try to take a picture of myself, it always looks like I am craning my neck...or some silly nonsens. Oh well, it did the job, and gave my mom a smile. That was definitely worth the effort.

This is me and Mark Richards from Lite 98.7. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the Taste of Home Cooking Show this past year, and 98.7 hosted it. I love his smile. I hope I am not breaking any copywright laws by posting this. It is my picture, so I should be able to post it. Anyway, I really enjoyed the show, and my sister who was with me, also had a grand time. She is the one who likes to cook. I cook, because I like to eat...LOL!!!! We did learn some great tricks while there. If you have one in your area..."Taste of home cooking show"...you might like to check it out. It really is worth a visit.

Phew!!!! Another Black Friday over and done. Are you a Black Friday shopper? I do not have the patience to wait in those horrifically long lines. It amazes me that anyone does. Now some of the deals I admit are very good, but I would just have to go without. I wait until the rush is over, and if it is left then I will get it, and if its not well...too bad for me.
Today is another wonderful day with a clean slate for me to fill. I am excited to see what wonders will unfold.
Have a beautiful day after black Friday everyone.

Thanksgiving

Wow...had a wonderful thanksgiving day. Was a little tired...but the who wouldn't be. All my food turned out great, except the brown and serve rolls that I burned on the bottom and were as hard as rocks...oh well something had to go wrong...LOL!!!
At least it wasn't something important.
Thank you Lord for a wonderful day. Missed my Dad something fierce, but I know that he would have been proud of us and happy that we were happy.
Well, off to work for the "yearly event " at wally world. I hope everyone gets what they need to start off their Christmas shopping.
Have a wonderful day all...I am planning on it.

Just a quick note...to say hello...and thank God I am alive. I had a few bad days last week...won't go into details, but just suffice it to say....I am glad it's over. Now life it good...Christmas is coming, and after today I am off for two days. Yay!!!! That means I get to spend time with family, and maybe friends. Those are the best times...and I love spending time with family and friends. Life is good, God is great...and I am looking forward to this day. Smile everybody...it is catching.

These are my bottle charms that I created. I needed something to put on my bottle of water when I put it in the refrigerator at work, so that I would know which bottle was mine when I came back to drink it later. This is what I came up with. Don't you just love the bottle I made to hang them on...LOL!!! These just hang over the neck of your bottle, and they have your name on them. I had a friend at work who liked them so well, she asked me to make her 4 of them. This is what I did on my day off while I was suffering from a stinking cold. Thank goodness for zicam. I could feel worse...Not feeling very good, but better than I could be.

Such a slacker!!!!

I love writing to my blog, but I just get so busy that I forget. I had a wonderful day off yesterday. I got up and made caramel corn. Then I took 1/4 of the caramel corn, and covered it with orange candy melts. Then I took another 1/4 and covered it with green candy melts. When I tell you this turned out delicious...I am not kidding. The only thing I forgot, was to put peanuts in it. Oh well, it tastes so good that noone will miss the peanuts. I made boxes and when I get home from work this morning, I am going to fill the boxes and deliver them to my family. Yay!!!!! They were supposed to be for Halloween...better late than never...is my philosophy.(If only you could see my sheepish smile)
Well, off to get ready for work.
Have a great day...I plan on it.

6 minutes before I have to get ready for work...so, I tell myself, what better thing to do that post a message on my blog...and the answer is...housework. Well, as you can see I picked the lesser of the evils...LOL!!!
I just had three glorious days off from work, got to spend time with family, one of my favorite things to do. I made some felt cupcakes and donuts for Christmas presents, and did some crocheting. I shopped at my favorite store...AC Moore. (should I get paid for saying that...LOL!!!) I could spend a fortune there. If only I had the fortune to spend. I just love that store.
So, now I only have 2 minutes and am going to get myself going. So...I hope everyone has a great day, as I plan to.

Well, let me see...what wonderful news can I impart today. Ok, well maybe today isn't a wonderful news day, but I am up, awake, and healthy. I think I am not feeling bad...so it must be a wonderful day. Another added bonus...I don't hear any rain outside. Maybe we will be blessed with a sunny day for a change.
I made cookies yesterday, and yes, I did try them out. I had a peanut butter cookie, and a sugar cookie. Now that means that I probably will not budge the scales any lower today, but that is ok. Today is a new day and today can be a good day. It will be what I make it so I think that I will make it good.
Hey everyone...have a wonderful day. Make it yours, and make it good.
