Meet Miss Daisy

This little dog is so cute.

Daisy played cards with us last weekend.(wink)

She watched all the girls leave at the end of the night.

Then she curled up in my bed and kept me warm all night long!!!!!!

Love this doggy!

Daisy said, "I am only on Phase 3, grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Will this game ever end???????"

Have a great weekend everyone. Try to stay warm in this ridiculously cold weather.

Sketch #2 Layout

Here is my layout from the 52 Sketches Site
http://52sketches52weeks.ning.com/ I used my pictures from our San Deigo trip. Sarah was really facinated with the flamingos. She fed them pellets she got out of a feeding (gumball type) machine.

Crop Layouts

Here are the layouts from this past weekend. I used a Cricut to make my titles. By the end of the day I really wanted one. Thanks for taking a peek.

Have a blessed day.

Going on a Road Trip

Leaving today for a short trip to NY. I am going to go see all my friends and scrapbook this weekend. The weather says that it is going to be snowing up there so I am super excited about that too.

I leave you with a layout I did a few days ago. I made it for a sketch site http://52sketches52weeks.ning.com/ The creator of the site makes a sketch each week and then you can enter your layout for a random drawing of goodies. I plan on trying to keep up with this site for the year. I will make a slide show as soon as I get a few more done.

Have a blessed day.

They truly lead who lead by love

And humbly serve the Lord;

Their lives will bear the Spirit’s fruit

And magnify His Word. —D. De Haan

Making a List and Checking it Twice.

I LOVE making lists. I make them here at home and at work. I just get satisfaction from crossing things off. I don't think I am failing if I don't get things from my lists done.

My favorite winter drink!

Newest addition to our fish tank. The orange one with the black fins. My daughter set this up with her birthday money. She has taken great care of her fish.

Have a fabulous week.

Puddles

These are not the kind you stomp in during a rain storm. They are the ones that melt in your mouth. Each year my hubbies boss sends us these little goodies for the holidays. Well since they are all gone. I found this recipe. I will have to try to make some more for Valentines Day.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TURTLES

16 oz. pkg. caramels

2 tbsp. water

3/4 lb. pecan halves

6 oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Melt caramels and water. Stir until melted. Arrange 36 groups of pecans, 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Drop melted caramel by teaspoon on top of nuts. Cool. Melt chocolate chips. Frost top of turtle. Makes 3 dozen.

World's Best Hubby

I would like to tell you all that my hubby deserves the best husband in the world award! He cleaned my fridge yesterday. Not just wipe it out, but a deep cleaning. Thanks, babe.

Best Gift

This year my hubby and I decided that we wouldn't exchange gifts. But I am so glad he didn't listen. He just knew that I would ardore this gift. It is a warm and very soft blanket from Restoration Hardware. I am in LOVE with this blanket.

I love cuddling up with it when I am on the computer. Did I mention its warm and toasty? Heehee..... All I need now is some SNOW!!!!!!!! Not this 60 degree weather we are having.

I am going on a trip next month to visit the snow. OOOPs I mean my friends up in NY and do some scrapping. I think I may have to bring this blanket with me. (wink)

Have a blessed day.

I sought the Lord, and He heard me. —Psalm 34:4

Christmas Pictures

I was reading my friends blog over at http://gingerbreadhousesaga.blogspot.com/ . She was commenting on how that was her best shot of her kids. Well, I had to show you what my kids did when I told them to get in front of the tree. So Korleen, you did a pretty good job. I can't get my family to take a serious picture to save their lives. So I have decide to just go with the flow and let them do their thing.
