Feeling like I miss it but who knows if I have the drive and commitment to keep up. Only time will tell. I am in a crochet mode right now. I have 4 projects started and a few requests and other projects that I really am dying to try. I have been stressed and anxiety ridden lately. Crocheting helps me relax. Even when my stitches and counts get messed up somehow and I have to rip out some rows. My grandma taught me how to crochet a chain stitch and single crochet when I was still in the single digit years. I taught myself more in my 20's made a few things, learned how to do a little knitting and cross stitch. I stopped for YEARS. But started back up again mostly in the cooler weather until this year when I needed a de-stresser and nothing else was working. Even this only works while I am actually crocheting it doesn't help during my "non-crochet" hours. Well that's it for now on this beautiful Saturday morning in NJ. I might add some pictures later of my WIPs. </span></span>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-23043381773949254152013-10-29T07:11:00.000-04:002013-10-29T07:11:21.505-04:00Minion Painted Pumpkin<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My first painted pumpkin for this Halloween. I haven't blogged in ages. He came out so cute though and I thought I'd put him here in case anyone still looked at this.<br /><br />Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-1052331052601458872011-09-17T12:26:00.000-04:002011-09-17T12:26:00.695-04:00What a week!It is a beautiful Saturday in September. Just cool enough to where a sleeve but not so cool that you need a jacket. Last Saturday it was also a beautiful day that is until the car accident! I mean nothing like turning a gorgeous warm Saturday to crap with an accident and a trip to the emergency room! And can I tell you the emergency room ...as soon as we came in the ambulance entrance.....smelled like a toilet! GROSS! I mean shouldn't those places smell better then THAT? I do have to say the people were really nice albeit a bit slow moving. But I won't judge since they could have been helping people worse off then us. Our EMTs were awesome! Nice guys and got the job done. I just thank the Lord my daughter wasn't in the car with us. She is just learning to drive and that might have scared her a little. The accident by the way was totally not our fault! Some older man was not paying attention and rear ended a car making a left turn sending him into our lane! And my husband with his super quick reflexes got as far over and out of the way possible before the car spun into us. We are both okay for the most part. Just aches and pains. Mine went away in a few days and well my husband's are lingering a little. So after that end of last week/beginning of this week my husband's truck breaks down on the way to work on Thursday! Did I mention that last Saturday we were headed to look at a used truck for him before we were "side tracked"??? Yep one crappy thing after another it seems lately. But lets look at the good things so far for September... My daughter started her junior year of High School. Oh wait is this good? That means I am getting old...it also mean I was a junior 30 YEARS ago!!! Wow...it doesn't seem like 30...lol. My niece and nephew started kindergarten! They are so cute! And they seem to be doing good so far. My nephew is a little bored but I am hoping this will pass. They are so cute they got math "homework" and wanted to keep going in there workbooks. I did mention to my SIL not to expect that to happen as they get older...lol. Well I guess I'll go do something productive with my Saturday...yep you guessed it we are going truck shopping *cringe*! Wish me luck hopefully we actually make it to a dealer today!!!Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-23269958632455879162011-08-07T10:33:00.000-04:002011-08-07T10:33:21.742-04:00UGH!!! :oPOk... I didn't want the entire month of July to go by without even doing ONE blog! But that is exactly what happened. UGH!!! I have been a horrible blogger lately. Barely reading the blogs I follow. Not posting anything. I could blame it on summer. But I haven't been doing all that much summer "stuff". I mean the occasional trip to the beach or water park...sure. But that pretty much sums up my summer. ONE trip to Great Adventure or as the youngsters call it Six Flags. Working yes...cleaning eh...sometimes. Crafting??? Not much at all ...except for some ankle bracelets for the girls and a bracelet and necklace or two. No pictures .... oh I may have one on my phone...of the necklace. I am just BLAH ....which I hate because I love summer! Like now I should be gearing up for the concert I am going to on August 13th....Kenny Chesney's Goin' Coastal Tour featuring Zac Brown Band!!! It is going to be a great concert! Kenny Chesney does a great concert. I went to the one in 2009 it couldn't have been better! See don't I sound excited? But I'm just not feeling the excitement yet. Not for anything. The STRESS of the "real" world is getting to me. I need to meditate or something!!!! But that would take motivation....and I just got nothin... I am hoping to catch up soon....but now that my laptop is broken it will probably be later then sooner......who knows with me I am so RANDOM. :o) bbsTerrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-41710245568235602762011-06-04T11:12:00.000-04:002011-06-04T11:12:55.562-04:00Celebrating a Birthday.My daughter turned 16 on Thursday. I can't believe the beautiful little girl I gave birth to is now 16! It went by WAY too quickly!!! I want her to be turning 5 again and just starting school! I want her to be 8 and learning how to ride a two-wheeler. I want her to be 10 and starting to like boys a little more then her mom would care for! I want her to be 12 even and just starting Middle School and starting to feel a little bigger or 13 and JUST becoming a teenager! I do NOT want her to be 16 and learning how to drive on the road with all the crazy drivers here in NJ. I mean how is she going to react when the idiot who stayed up all night is starting to go over the line a little as she driving down the parkway? Is she going to be responsible enough to tell her friends NO she can't look at whatever they are showing her until they pull over???? Will she REALLY stop when the light is yellow if she is a little late for school? When someone needs a ride and she ALREADY has one person in the car is she going to let another in because she feels bad the other is stranded? OR is she going to obey the law that says only one other person in the car unless they live with you? All these things and 100s more go through my head as I drive down the road every day thinking of my "little girl" on these busy NJ roads everyday. And this is before she even passes her written test(she is not doing too well on the practice tests) and gotten her permit! I guess I better enjoy 16 because 17 is going to definitely turn my hair gray!!! Its going to make me sleepless (although they can only drive until 12am). Let me enjoy my last year of her needing me to driver her EVERYWHERE....oh wait her friends are starting to get their licenses starting this summer.....oh no the worrying is going to start .....now....goodbye brunette hello granny.... <br />
<br />
Ok well I am DEFINITELY going to dye when the time comes......but wish me luck with the worrying it is NOT going to be easy....<br />
<br />
On a side note here is a little something I put together for her for her big SWEET 16 day. Well not big she didn't want any big party she just had 2 of her friends come out to dinner with us and then we had ice cream cake and sang and her dad surprised her with white roses.<br />

It has been sunny for more then 2 days in a row AND the pollen is covering my vehicle. I have some pics to share with you guys of THINGS I have been doing...don't get excited I haven't done THAT much because of the MOOD I have been in that I mentioned in my previous <a href="http://fortheloveofrandomcraftiness.blogspot.com/2011/05/happy-mothers-day.html">post</a> . But first can I just vent for a minute? Let me start out by saying I am 45 almost 46 years old. Normally over the years I have taken my car through the car wash rather then hand wash it at home because well because it's easier and I am not exactly outdoorsy. However, I am currently driving my father's SUV because well my SUV is at death's door after just about 279,000 miles she has had a good run and deserves to be put to rest ( or at least sold or traded in for an update)! ANYWAY back to my rant I feel like I have to keep this truck cleaner then I normally would because I would never want my dad to think I wasn't taking care of it the way he would....SO I have taken it through the car wash a few times (on the few sunny days we had last month!) and seriously it didn't REALLY get clean...it looked almost as dirty after my $15.00 as it did before! I mean if I had paid $4.00 maybe I wouldn't feel quite as bad but I mean COME ON!!! SO now on to my REAL rant...yesterday it was beautiful out ...I mean sunny & warm...so I figured when I got home from work I would wash the truck....I called my husband and asked him if there was a bucket buried in the garage anywhere I could use?...OKAY here come the 50 questions...Husband: What do you need a bucket for? ME: I am going to wash the truck. Husband: What do you mean? What are you going to use to wash it? Me: Dish soap. Husband: You CAN"T use dish soap! Me: Why not that's what we used when I was younger? Husband: You can't use dish soap look in the garage for car wash I think there is some in there. Me: Ok whatever...do we have a bucket? Husband: Listen there is a little beige bucket in the garage with some rags in it. ME: Ok Husband: Ok now when you take the stuff out of the bucket put some car wash in it and you have to start by rinsing the car off first and then you use the brush to start scrubbing...blah blah blah blah....ME: Are you seriously telling me how to wash the truck???? Husband: Yes. Me: Goodbye. "Click" I mean SERIOUSLY I KNOW how to wash a car!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! THEN he calls back... Husband: when you.. Me: (interrupting) I'm not washing the car forget it. Husband: Oh Ok I'll just do it when I get home. (no he didn't but he claims he will do it today). People sometimes wonder why I don't do anything to my yard.....it is because I live with the OUTDOOR police.... It's just easier inside ALTHOUGH he often thinks he should tell me how to do things in there too...see I'm not REALLY lazy I just can't deal with being corrected......Whew! There I'm done ranting. :o)<br />

She LOVED it!!!<br />

I've been in a mood. I just wanted to wish anyone who pops on by here a <b>Happy Mother's Day</b>. Hope your day is wonderful. <b style="color: red;"><3</b> I will spend the day with my daughter. Which actually is like every Sunday because quite a while ago I declared Sunday as <b>FAMILY DAY</b>, no going out with friends, just hanging out at home or where ever we might go. Today she claims she is going to bake me a cake. We'll see if the actually occurs. I will probably have to help a little. But that's <b>OK</b>. <b>AND</b> I did buy the flavor mix <b>SHE</b> likes. It's a <b>MOM</b> thing.<br />
<br />
My mom passed away in December of 2007. She was 61. My mom had me when she was 18 almost 19 so I thought we'd grow old together. That didn't happen. She left me. :o/ I miss my mom. Not just today EVERY day. I miss my mom. There I said it. I really miss her. It's been 40 months. If other people hear that they probably think ...ok move on now. And some days, SOME days, I am fine. At least to the non-observer the people who don't REALLY know me. But then the OTHER days I'm not ok, I'm not fine and seriously I just can't ... move on. I talked to my mom a LOT, I mean a LOT lot. Almost EVERY day 2 or 3 TIMES a day! And now...NOW...I will never talk to her again. Not here not on Earth...hopefully in Heaven one day. If I get there. She is missing SO much. SO much she would have TRULY enjoyed. My life would have been DIFFERENT if she was still here. And well it can NEVER be like it used to be again. I have so much I really WANT to tell her. I want to talk to her about FRANCESCA. She would be so PROUD of her. I want to COMPLAIN to her about...well the THINGS we used to complain about to each other. I want to TALK to her about current events! I want to just have her SAY "hey" the way SHE used to. I want her to tell me "I've got nothin" the way SHE would in a message. I want a HUG, I want a KISS, I want to TOUCH her hand... I LOVE her. I MISS her. My MOM. We fought and ARGUED but, BUT my mom LOVED me more than and more differently than ANYONE. And I LOVED and LOVE her. And that's it she IS gone HAS been GONE for a LONG time now. FOREVER gone. And even though I KNOW that life is not FAIR, that people DIE ,old people, YOUNG people, bad people, GOOD people,sick people, HEALTHY people, just everyday people DIE. I just WANT my mom back. There I said it I want to turn back TIME. I want a MAGIC ball. I want special POWERS. I want it all to be a NIGHTMARE. I don't want to be FINE…I just want my mom. :o/ Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-65638700263942296612011-03-20T01:00:00.000-04:002011-03-20T01:00:16.139-04:00Hi ...<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know technically it is a new week but since I haven't gone to bed yet I am going with it still being Saturday...lol. Not much to write. Haven't done all that much crafting this week or anything else for that matter! I am at war with some black ants that keep squeezing their way into one room or another! Every time I get rid of them the pop up a few days later in a different room! Seriously for what reason were they in my bathroom??? No one eats in THERE!!! Anyway other then that this week my truck broke so I am currently using my Father's luckily for me he is an AWESOME dad and has another vehicle to drive! I am not sure what I am going to do about my broken Explorer it has about 277,000 miles on it so do I fix it???? I mean she has gotten me through A LOT!!! What else did I do this week???? Cleaned out the girlies "hair box" and got rid of a TON of hair stuff she hasn't used in years. My niece & my girlfriend's daughter were both thrilled with their new found "hair candy". They are so cute! Went to Michael's today because I was bored....BIG MISTAKE....got a picture frame for my daughter we are going to attach butterflies around the entire frame and put in it a poem she has from her friend's funeral. He was only 15 and died last summer of cancer. At his viewing his aunt told my daughter and her friends every time they see a butterfly it is him watching out for them. Very sweet and I will say she has seen some butterflies in odd places. I also picked up some beads on sale I am going to make a special little girl a bracelet! And I got some yarn to fool around with in a bright yellow and a bright teal blue. Once I got it home and started playing with it I decided to make it into a blanket for my daughter! It is one great big granny square alternating colors. It WAS going to be a surprise then she saw it on my bed. Of course it probably still will be a surprise if I ACTUALLY finish it....lol Ok well that is my quick post for this week! I'll take a pic of the blanket during the week and post it...it's coming out very cute!

And NO it's not because I've been busy...lol I haven't really been doing too much. I had a sick car this week! Well not all week but Thursday it started acting "funny" and so yesterday I couldn't go to my niece's "Sneak Peek Week" at her dancing school... :o( She even helped me put it in the calendar on my phone! Then I had to tell her I couldn't go....she told me ..."well maybe next time."...she is SO cute! My husband put something in my transmission yesterday so it is "working" a little better today. I have my fingers crossed! I said a little prayer for her (my car) but I kinda felt guilty asking for help when I knew all those people are suffering over in Japan! That is such a tragedy it brought tears to my eyes watching the coverage yesterday. <br />
<br />
Okay well I know that was short but if I have more time later I'll post more! I gotta go do more laundry!!! yuck...Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-62669637642474911512011-03-03T15:58:00.000-05:002011-03-03T15:58:06.577-05:00Well I'll just have you know....<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">No really I'll just have you know I ALMOST posted twice in February. REALLY!!! I have the draft saved in my posts but I never got back to it. I don't know why i am lacking motivation!!! It is really starting to drive me crazy. I mean I was ALWAYS the person who was ready to get up and out to go do SOMETHING to go do NOTHING. Not now though ....now I am dragging my butt....now I just put it off until tomorrow....now I just sit home. Who am I? I can't even answer that question myself right now. I really really really need to be the DOER again! What is it going to take???? Anyone? Anyone? (whenever I right or even think that I always hear Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off saying....Bueller Bueller) Nothing huh? No suggestions??? Maybe i need to take a class? Or go back to the gym? (by the way my daughter has been begging to go to the gym a big change from that summer she got a summer membership and went how many times???? ONCE) I need another JOB!!! I mean I love working for my Dad right now. I get paid a salary and the hours are really SHORT you can't beat that right? But this economy is killing us my husband is just not getting any work!!! And in addition to the financial burden that puts on us....seriously if I have to spend one more day in this house with just the two of us for HOURS ..... well let's just say i shouldn't be held accountable for what I might do...lol I mean don't get me wrong he is pretty good....he does all the outside work at the house AND washes the dishes!!! And he will definitely go and pick up the girlie and her friends if I ask....or sometimes even if I don't ask....The thing about him is...well he is GRUMPY and CRANKY and well he'd kill me if he knew I said this he is also VERY nosey!!!! Now don't get me wrong...sometimes he is fine but other times he is....Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched...LOL So now you understand why I need to DO more....I need an escape...so I don't try to runaway...lol (ok just kidding about the running away part because I mean really....where would I go?) I try to use crafting as an escape....And yes it does work a little....but my house is messy and so I don't have enough room to do the crafting the way I want...and the blog and everyone's blogs are a little escape but I can't do enough with my blog and I have no... oops I mean only ONE follower....and well that is one of my BFFs(hahaha) from high school SO....WOW this is random.....I just popped on to do a quick..."What I've been up to" ...post and here I sit rambling and whining!!! ....Hmmm....I should copy and paste the other post from Feb that i never posted (because it wasn't finished) because that kinda says what I've been doing....Ok so here it is....</span></span><b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hi guys! I know you are shocked that it's still February and I am blogging AGAIN! Did you look at your calendar and think "omg! is it March already???" No no ....it's ok it IS actually February I just decided to pop in and write again. So now what have I been up to...hmmmm...

So on Sunday night I sat on my bed making Valentine's cards for my niece and nephew and my daughter. They did come out pretty cute though! My daughter made one for her boyfriend....NO she did not make her mother one....you'd think she could have done SOMETHING for her mother (yes I am planning on sending her the link to this post...lol) I mean geezzzz write on a scrap piece of paper or ANYTHING....but nope I got nada. Now I don't really mind too much :o) My husband surprised me last weekend and put in Hardwood Floors in my Dining Room! Keep in mind we have had the wood for about two years just sitting in boxes in that room waiting...waiting....waiting....and out of no where Friday he starts cleaning out the room and then Saturday he prepped the floor....(At this point I still wouldn't say it was happening outloud because i didn't want to jinx it...hahaha)...and then LOW AND BEHOLD Sunday he made a trip to the Home Depot at 1030ish and by 11am he starts nail gunning away and putting in my floor!!! WooHoo!!!!! Now how do I get him to paint? lol I know better then to push him or it will never get done. I think my plan will be to go buy the paint and ya know maybe just "start" to "help" out....I am still in the planning stages though don't want it to back fire on me...lol </b> <span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well There ya go!!!! I was actually (at the time) waiting until I uploaded my photos to post it....and you see where THAT got me...yep yep yep...no second post in February!!! i think I may challenge myself to post at LEAST once a week ....twice would be better even if it's just a quick "Hello Blog World"....hmmmmm....I'll think that over....ok well off to pick up the spoiled girlie from school!!!

WooHoo!!! ;oPWell here it is and January is <b>almost</b> over,which is <b>GOOD</b> because I <b>HATE</b> winter but <b>BAD</b> because I haven't blogged since <b>NOVEMBER</b>. I am <b>SO</b> not good at this whole blogging thing! I am <b>GREAT</b> at <b>reading</b> them though...lol. Even If I let a day or two go by I will go through my <b>ENTIRE</b> list until I hit one I remember! I know I should be doing something more <b>productive</b> with my time so I could <b>SHARE<span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span></b>something with you here! Well I have been doing a few things...let's see I made two scrap layouts, I've made a few scarves (I only have a picture of one right now... <b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">:o/ </span></b> ), and....hmmmm....ok so maybe that's it but it was the holiday's and and and....yeah I have <b>NO</b> excuse except <b>non-motivation</b>. So what am I working on now<b>?</b> I am almost done making a scarf for my daughter with a <b>Galaxy Stitch</b> I got the pattern free <a href="http://www.crochetspot.com/">here</a> , they have some <b>GREAT</b> patterns <b>free</b> if you just sign up for their newsletter, I am going to change it up some I am planning on making a border using a <b>picot stitch</b> I picked up watching a youtube video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE3V4uvkGp0">here</a>, she does some <b>wonderful</b> tutorials! I would be done with this scarf already if my daughter didn't decide <b>every time</b> she tries it on that she'd like it a little <b>longer</b>! Good thing I <b style="color: magenta;">LOVE</b> her...lol. <b>OK</b> so what else....I have a few pictures that I am working on layouts for one of my daughter and niece when they were toddlers, it is a <b>favorite</b> picture of mine so I am really taking my time with the layout, <b>which means what?</b> <b>taking a few months instead of just one?</b>...<b>LOL</b> <b>probably</b>!!! I will be making Valentine's Day cards for a couple of my <b>favorite</b> children hopefully this week and not the <b>DAY</b> before!!! After I finish my daughters scarf I am starting one for my niece her's shouldn't take <b>TOO</b> long because she is just a little <b>peanut</b> so that is a tiny scarf! She would like it to be and I quote "<span style="color: #fce5cd;">Light Pink</span>, <span style="color: purple;">Dark Purple</span> with a little <span style="background-color: purple; color: white;">White</span>". She is VERY bossy for a 5 year old...lol. I am getting off <b>easy</b> because when I asked her if she'd like me to make her a scarf she asked me if i could make her a jacket...<b>LOL</b>. When I told her I am not sure I am capable of making her a jacket(especially since I <b>don't </b>own a sewing machine...lol) she said..."Ok well then you can make me a scarf". She is <b>SUCH</b> a cutie!!! Of course if I make her a scarf I then have to think of something to make for her twin brother because I <b>can't</b> give something to one and not the other!!! He is just as much of a <b>CUTIE</b> and not as bossy...lol. I also told my daughter's friend I would make her a scarf so I will be working on that too! Hmmmm....I better get moving before it's <b>spring</b> and I am still working on scarves...<b>LOL</b>. Well I am going to <b>TRY</b> to be more <b>diligent</b> with this blog I <b>SWEAR</b> who knows maybe I could even get a few followers if I figure out what I'm doing....<b>LOL</b> Well I will be back <b>SOON</b> (no really) and even post <b>pictures</b>!! I know, I know <b>PROMISES PROMISES</b> .... but this time I am serious... <b>;o) <span style="color: #cc0000;"><3</span></b>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-78710862147787112932010-11-28T11:32:00.001-05:002010-11-28T11:36:38.867-05:00Terri's Holiday Wish List<a href="http://bit.ly/tmwishlist">Today's Mama</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/gamestop10">Game Stop</a> <b>are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>1. What is your holiday wish for your family? </b><span style="color: #660000;">I just want my family to have a happy safe holiday and to enjoy the time spent with friends and family.</span><br />
<br />
<b>2. What is your Christmas morning tradition? </b><span style="color: #274e13;">Christmas morning my daughter wakes up and we go out to the tree to open her presents and then stocking (presents are always first). Then we eat breakfast and "play" with her new stuff. </span><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>3. If you could ask Santa for one, completely decadent wish for yourself, what would it be? </b><span style="color: #660000;">Ok well I would ask Santa for a HUGE shopping spree. Just pass me the pre-paid Visa with about $5000 or $10000 on it and I will go off and buy...lets see..Tickets to concerts and shows in NY, clothes for everyone, a trip for the family. Hmmmm.... that would be nice right about now actually. </span><br />
<br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>4. How do you make the holidays special without spending any money? </b><span style="color: #274e13;">We decorate the house and tree. We play Christmas music in the car until we just can't handle it anymore....lol. </span><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>5. What games did you play with your family growing up? </b><span style="color: #660000;">We played the standard games Monopoly, Trouble, Sorry and such. We were also a big card family 500 rummy and Poker! Oh and we likes to play Pokeno do they have that anymore??? :o)</span><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>6. What holiday tradition have you carried on from your own childhood? </b><span style="color: #274e13;">Spending the Holiday's with my Grandma is our tradition that I have carried on from my own childhood. She is 84 now and can't do the holiday herself anymore so I will go where ever she is which currently will be my brother's home. She makes the best home made ravioli's they are <b>DELICIOUS</b>!</span><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>7. Where would you go for a Christmas-away-from-home trip? </b><span style="color: #660000;">I would never go away for Christmas unless I could take EVERYONE with me. Now if were leaving the day after Christmas Sign us up for the happiest place on Earth....</span><b> <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/beach-club-villas/">Beach Club Villas</a> </b><span style="color: #660000;">I've never been able to stay there but I here its absolutely <b>FABULOUS</b>!!!</span><br />

<b>Ok so that is my meme and my <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/">Game Stop</a> wish I could afford..lol... list!!!! You should head over to <a href="http://todaysmama.com/2010/11/mamas-holiday-wish-list-2010/">Today's Mama</a> and enter too!!!</b><b></b>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-8480783905953996452010-11-16T21:37:00.000-05:002010-11-16T21:37:57.242-05:00Here comes the Holidays....ready or not!So we are just waiting for the Holidays to begin here. I love Christmastime! It is truly my favorite time of year. Which is saying a lot for me because I hate COLD and WINTER, I am a SUMMER girl. But Christmas is special. I lost my mom in December 2007. She was a very young 61. But she got sick and she fought to the very end trying EVERYTHING she could to spend more time with us, the people she really truly loved, but it just wasn't in the cards for us and we lost someone very special to us. I'd like to say I don't cry over losing my mom anymore that I understand that when your time is up there is nothing that can be done and life for the living goes on but truthfully I still cry and just wish she was here where she belongs. The reason why I bring up my mom because she is the reason I love Christmas! She loved Christmas! And let me tell you it wasn't in a crazy decorating, food cooking kind of way. She was a busy woman. Very rarely did she even decorate before Christmas Eve and when my brother and I moved out to start our own families she sometimes only found time to put out her ceramic table top tree. But that didn't stop her from loving Christmas. My Grandma is the BIG decorator in the family when it comes to Holidays (seriously even now at 84 when she does so much less then she used to she does 100% more then me!), and every time my mom walked in her house even during the day she'd flip the switch to turn the lights on on the tree. My mom used to complain that she didn't know what gifts to get anyone and would shop until the last day possible. She was SO generous and just wanted to get people something they'd really love. She is where I get my generous nature from I just want to give people something they will love and will make them smile! It's going to be a tough Christmas this year. Times are very tight here so hopefully I can be "creative" and still make people smile. Anyway what Was I writing about? Oh yes the Holidays...We start with Thanksgiving....spending the day with family and eating delicious food...who can beat THAT? The week before Thanksgiving I have my twin niece and nephew's 5th Birthday. Ice Cream Cake & Pizza! Mmmmm. Then the big shopping season begins....I as rule don't normally do Black Friday Shopping. It is TOO crazy for me but this year I am considering it.... we'll see if I can wake up that early! Then before you know it the BIG day is here and gone then there's New Year's and then I am counting the days until SUMMER...lol. But I will enjoy the special time with family and friends and I hope you will too.<br />
<br />
Ok so anyway that was just me rambling, this is me talking about crafting. I have been crocheting away at my owl hats! I made 5 my daughters plus 4 others. They are all a little different! Each was a different color and had different add-ons by the ear and some had open eyes some had closed eyes, some had "hairs" on the tips of the ears some didn't but they were all SO cute! I also have been making cards, working on a scarpbook layout (it takes me forever to finish one!), made some head pieces for my daughter to go to a 1920's themed Sweet 16 party. I will add pictures in my next post which will be before December I swear!

I did a layout last night and decided to post it! Also, I just finished making a hat for my daughter. I crocheted it from a pattern I got off etsy with a few alterations, artistic liberties if you will...lol. I have to say for my first hat it didn't come out half bad! What do you think??? :o)<br />

But that's just me! ;o)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Apparently I'm not a very good blogger. I don't have any followers so I am not very diligent about writing all the time! But then I think oh but why would anyone want to follow if they stop by and there are no posts?! So here I am catching up on what I've been working on. Took pictures of two layouts I made! I am still working on how to photograph my crafts and pages. Today is my daughters first day of school. She is a SOPHMORE this year! Getting too big in my opinion *sigh*. I feel like it wasn't that long ago that I was a sophmore but in reality it was 30 years ago. 30 years? Can that be right? But alas it is.......lol. Ok well here are some pics of a few things I have finished. I made a card for the girlie on her first day today. Two layouts of some pics i liked which just happened to be from the same year. I drew two pictures one for my niece and one for my nephew. The felt pig i am going to put on a bracelet for my niece. I googled felt pig and copied one of the ones I found so it totally is not my design! The card with the sun my daughter made for her boyfriend's dad. I love watching her create! The felt owl is a ponytail holder i made my niece has decided it should be a bracelet! She is so cute! I do that a lot if the kids say ..."can you draw a (fill in the blank) I just google it and do the best I can with something i find! I have been making a few cute things like head bands and crocheting flowers I don't have pictures of everything yet! Ok so here is my stuff....well at least the pics i remembered to take! If you stop by please leave a comment! <br />

When she's done and takes a picture she has been saying..."Mom will you put this up on your blog?"....lol So of course i say yes. So here is a picture of a birthday card she made for her friend. She likes to make cards that don't open more like a oversized "post card".Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-66434739578648834622010-08-15T20:40:00.000-04:002010-08-15T20:40:18.487-04:00What I've been working on...So this week i finally finished my layout I had been working on for my daughter. It's the first layout I've done in a long while so I'm not sure about it yet...lol We are our own worst critics right? In addition to that this week I've been making a few hair accessories for my daughter and niece. I did a few more of the pinwheels. My daughter was a volunteer at <b> Amity Acres Day Camp </b> last week and we wanted one to "match" her shirt so blue and orange it was!<br />
Oh and I also crocheted a little flower with some baker's twine I got from <a href="http://www.thetwinery.com/">The Twinery</a> I purchased the sample pack to see how I'd like it and I love it!!! My daughter can't wait to use some for a friendship bracelet! I made the cutest flower with the <i> Lemondrop </i> color and then stitched a blue bead in the center and sewed it to a bobby pin I also put a dab of "super glue" and the stitching by the bobby pin and under the bead for extra security! <br />
Then late last night I crocheted another flower out of some DMC floss in purples for my niece then when I was picking the bead for the center I decided to try to use the tiny letter beads I have to add something extra special to hers because she's an extra special girl!!! (She did give me free kisses yesterday!!...lol) I haven't attached to a bobby pin yet because I'm not sure if I want to do that or get a clip and attach it to stay in her hair better? Hmmm... what to do. Oh AND then I remembered another flossy flower I had crocheted the other night in golden yellow so I did the bead with the tiny word "cutie" in the center because the purple one came out so CUTE!!! What do you think??? I would love to do one with her name but it's <b> 9 </b> letters...lol<br />

Put all the little touches on it I wanted. I used My Mind's Eye paper for the background. Prima flowers! Glimmer Mist on the butterflies. Stickles on some of the flowers and the butterfly's bodies. And then of course random ribbon from my stash and assorted bling from I am not sure who right now! The pictures are of My Mom & Me circa 1970ish! I loved looking through the old photos to find just the right ones... I sure do miss her. The poem on the top was written by my mother. I wish you could read it ... it is beautiful it's titled </span></b><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remember Me</span></i><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> and that is how we remember her now. Also, the photos on the bottom of the irises were taken by my mother of some of her favorite flowers that she grew herself of course! </span></b></span>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-22140961879505240532010-08-03T00:11:00.000-04:002010-08-03T00:11:16.389-04:00Lets try to add a pic...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

They were SO cute when I showed my daughter she loved them so we went out got some supplies and I proceeded to make a cute bobby pin pinwheel hair accessory that she wore on her date tonight! Then I came home from my dinner out with some of my favorite women (good food, good talk and margaritas!) and made another for one of my favorite 7 year olds. </span>Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303308947302276485noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865170980497924139.post-28165328894917008812010-07-29T23:36:00.000-04:002010-07-29T23:36:44.813-04:00Awesome Blog Candy GiveawayCheckout this awesome giveaway!
