Like what you see??

I am finally done with the blog..It took some work again, but I hope you like what I've done..
On the last post I told mentioned my little shopping spree at Michael's on Thanksgiving Day..Speaking of Thanksgiving hope everyone had a wonderful time with their families, it was a day to let your loved ones know how thankful you are for them.
Well, was I thrilled with that sale..I knew I had to go that night because there was no way in hell I was going to go out on Black Friday with all the loons. I drove up and I actually saw men in the store shopping for their significant others, what a cute site that was..
So, as I was saying I bought some Critcut cartridges..
A few days later, I got a call from a good friend that went out on Black Friday to Walmart and got 2 Cricut Expression machines and one of them was for her sister, which it turned out that she didn't want it. So, that's where I came in. She called and asked if i wanted to buy it from her for the same price she paid. I wasn't sure, I called my buddy Barb to ask her what she thought. I don't know why I did because I knew what she was going to say, just as I thought she said Yeah! This is what the machine looks like here on the right.
It's a pretty awesome machine. It will make scrapbooking and card making alot easier. I also picked up some Christmas paper to make my Christmas cards. I haven't handmade cards for the holidays since 2006. There is something about
giving someone a handmade gift, it's so special.

During the week I also picked up the Bind-it-all
machine. Now that too is one cool product. It's
great to make mini albums to regular size..It punches the holes on the side, you place your
"O" rings and place in machine and bind it..
Here it is below..


I really can't believe we are in Dec. already. It just feels like time is flying..This Sunday will be the day for putting up the tree and to decorate the house a bit. Kaitlin, our youngest one really wants the tree up and to get her hands in the boxes of decorations. So, it will be an emotional day. But I know he'll be here with us and I'll feel his presence to comfort me. I think I should also break out the martini glass and make myself a chocolate martini as we work on the tree..Great visual huh??
