Valentine's Day Fun

At work we do a Secret Pal the week before Valentine's Day and then Valentine's Day is the big reveal. :o}
This is what I did for my final gift...glass etching! Yay, so fun! This was on one side and the other side had a F for her last name. I do not have a Silouette :o{ but I do have a Cricut and I can do some fun things like this. :o}

Reed needed a box for his Valentines and had been sick the week before so Sunday he was finally feeling better and thought we could do his box. Well wouldn't you know he fell asleep right after dinner. So I made it, he thought it was cool! Yay! I used a square tissue box and got my inspiration from February 2010 Family Fun magazine.

The next item was for the person giving me gifts for the Secret pal. This was the drying phase, I later added ribbon to the loop.

I left out these special treats for my husband for Valentine's Day.  Yes, is in the pan as he makes eggs every morning for breakfast.

Sums it up

This picture about sums it up what it was like at our house the week before Valentine's Day.

Oh and remember that yellow frame well this is what I was doing with it. :o} Too bad I didn't realize when putting it together that my life was going to be dealing with sick kids for a week.

Been awhile...

Today my youngest son was home sick and I had over 700 blog posts from Google Reader to catch up on. I got through about 500 of them today and some I just couldn't read just skimmed the pictures. Thank goodness for pictures, if the pictures look interesting then I read it. While I was reading today I came across some wonderful things that I really want to try, but I also came across some fun downloadable/printables that I have taken advantage of. I needed to go to Target tonight to pick up what I had sent for the photo center.
While browsing the end caps {You know where all the clearance items are.} I came across 2 not so lovely white frames.
BEFORE

See the crack in the corner? Oh and check out the price to not too bad!?!

The bottom was dirty too.

Well not to worry nothing a little spray paint won't take care of.

The paint is now drying so hopefully I will be back tomorrow with the finished product.
[I was all giddy using the spray paint, my husband thought I was nuts.]

Covergirl celebrates 50!

Covergirl is celebrating 50 years! Wow!

I remember when I was a little girl and I would watch my sister put on make-up she always used the Covergirl compact. I couldn't wait to start wearing make-up and remember when I finally got my first Covergirl compact.  Covergirl is a favorite make-up brand of mine.

Click to join the party. Free things will be given away. :)  I am a BzzAgent and have decided to join in on the party.

Do you see what I see?

Nevermind the wall. It has been destroyed from the years that we had my boys Hot Wheel table sitting there and cars slamming against the wall.

If you guessed my cat laying on top of the blanket basket instead of on her bed you guessed it!  I wonder if I move her bed on top of the blanket basket if she would lay there.  We have had her a year and I have yet to see her get in her bed.  I guess it was a waste of money. :o]

Hmm...

CVS shopping trip tonight and this is what I come home with.

I am feeling yucky and so is my oldest. :o{

Florida Panther Game

Tyler always wants to attend live sporting events whenever he can. This past week we had some friends over for dinner and we were talking about it. My friend told me that her brother had just offered her 3 tickets to the Panther game and asked if Tyler and I wanted to go with her. I jumped on it and told Tyler that we were going. He was so excited.

Tonight was the night for the game. He was so excited and loved every minute of it. He is now a proud owner of a Panther paw that he proudly wore on his hand and cheered the Panthers on to victory tonight. 3-0 over the New York Rangers!

Go Panthers! We will be back to cheer you on this season! :o}

Thank you Stacey for inviting us!!!
