Apparently I will be having it for lunch and dinner tomorrow too, lol! We got a lot for really cheap, I was impressed! I got my layout done, will post it in the morning. Brian's mom got into town tonight, so we have to go and see her at his place tomorrow...apparently she has the "rest" of my Christmas present with her. She gets on the phone with me tonight and says "I was wondering why you didn't say anything about your gift" and I am thinking you don't want to hear what I have to say about my gift, lol!! Then she says she realized I didn't say anything because I didn't get it, there was one gift left behind at her place...so I am curious as to what it is.

Michelle, love your lift! What a great moment to capture!!

How funny...we had chinese food for dinner last night, can't wait to see you layout Steph and hear about your other present....keeping my fingers crossed that it is a really good one this time!!

Yesterday got busy with the grandkids and didn't make it back here!

Berta that's a wonderful lift!

Michelle, thanks for lifting me! That's really GREAT!

Well good morning ladies. I was busy this morning, actually I slept in, so didn't get here until now.

Michelle C., I love your lift. Great job!

Steph, have fun with your scrappy stuff.

Tammy, you Wii game sounds like fun.

Michelle M., glad to have you back, sounds like you had a busy but enjoyable night.

Sherri, how did you like the movie?

Deanna, are you snowboarding or skiing on one ski... I love the new avatar...

You ladies are putting together some great layouts. I love them all.

Morning ladies!!

I lifted one of Valerie's layouts...



And here is mine...



Thanks Jill...we are off to go see them in about half an hour...I'd rather go back to bed! I am feeling really sleepy today! I think it's from my pain killers...the dr. has me taking them a few times a day now to loosen up the muscle in my shouler, and usually I only take them at bedtime, so they are making me drowsy and groggy! Oh well, might make things more interesting, lol!!

Have a great day everyone!!

what a pretty layout Steph!

Wow I love everyone's layouts. Great Job!

Awesome job girls.... Fun how both of you lifted Valerie!!!

Wow! I go away for awhile and come back and two more awesome layouts are done.

Great job Steph and Michelle M., I love them both.

Now I better finish my project I was doing... Be back later ladies..

you all have been verry busy

Thanks ladies!!

Well...I got pyjamas! Definitely better than the rest of the junk, lol, so I am happy with that! Mind you I haven't checked if they fit yet, lol, but they look like they will! Had a good, short visit, picked up a couple things we needed and got home just in time as the snow started coming down! It is snowing like crazy once again here, everytime we think it's finally done, nope, here comes some more!! So, I have the curtains open to watch it...cause as long as I am not out in it I actually do love it! And after I get some dishes in the dishwasher and a load of laundry in the dryer I am going to find another challenge to work on! Got a bunch more photos from WalMart today!

Beautiful layouts Steph and Deanna....glad to see everyone back to scrapping again after such a busy holiday...just awesome girls!!

Yes... isn't it nice to be back with our friends again!!!

And I can't wait till next weekend!!!!!!

hello!! I am back from my movie - Marly and Me was so good!!! Things are starting to wind down in our house - so I am going to pick a layout to lift and head up to my scraproom in a bit!!! michelle m

Just did my Wii Fit and Now I'm gonna relax and watch some tv, The kiddos are in bed.

Glad to see everybody chatting up a storm. I am trying to clean up my puter and get my 08 pictures on a CD and then my 08 layouts. Make room for all the new 2009 things. Maybe she will even run better.

I got my layouts done I needed done today and still need to work on Jill's challenge and the January Contest. I can get those done tomorrow.

I know the crop this coming weekend is gonna be awesome.

Guess I will run for now. I will check back in later. Have a great scrappy night ladies.

I know what you mean about the snow Steph... We have had snow storms or just snow for four weekends now. I am sick of it, even though I have to tell you I love watching it come down if I don't have to be out driving in it. I think I'm really sick of the cold weather. I am ready for a January thaw...

We have gotten close to another six inches! Brian is supposed to be starting a course at the college tomorrow, I told him he better turn his radio on in the morning and make sure the school is even open!

I was going to do some more scrappin' tonight but I started reorganizing my area instead! I moved my living room furniture around a few weeks ago and didn't quite get finished. I just cleared out one corner for the Christmas tree, so the rest was still a disaster, and now it is not quite so much! Got a lot more work to do though!

Hope everyone is ready for the crop! I'm going to get set up everything right now!!

Good morning ladies -

I am going to be gone this morning and afternoon - I will be back home later to finish my my layout for this challenge - I am taking one of my step-daughters to the Mpls/St. Paul airport in about an hour or so - then meeting my dad and sister up in the Twin Cities for a doctors appointment of his - one child of ours going back home - 2 to go!!!!! Our house is not use to having 4 of our kids home!!!! A few of the older girls have totally forgotten how to put their clothes and things away - we have a big house - but a tornado has went through here the last few weeks - I am going to stop and buy some scrapping supplies when I am up in the cities today - I will be back with you all later today!! Take care eeryone and stay safe!! michelle m



This is the layout from the gallery that I will be "lifting" from - it's one of Janice Nielson's!!! I love it!!! I love the ribbon and the colors - the journaling - the photos!!!!!

This was a fun layout to do - thanks Janice - I loved your layout and this was a blast to "lift"!!!!!

Marley and Me was a wonderful movie - I did see children at the movie - I cried like a baby - you could hear people blowing their noses towards the end and sniffling - Deanna - I think it would be a positive experience for children - hard to say what age would be best to see it - We have a black lab - almost like Marley!! - She is 10 1/2 years old and is a part of our family - she had abdominal problems when she was 7 months old - we spent $1,100.00 on her!!! She had been eating an old electrical blanket over a short period of time and it got tangled in her intestines - she had emergency surgery - I would like to read the book that inspired the movie!!! I hope everyone is having a great day!!!! michelle m

Michelle, how was the movie? My DGD wants to see it, she's 7. But, doesn't the dog die?

Linda and Steph, WOW snow?!?! We've been having rain for several days! I think I'd much rather have a little snow.

Michelle M., you chose a great lift to scrap. Can't wait to see what you did with yours.

I hope everyone is having a good morning. I need to go to town once we get the truck or car started, it got very cold here this morning. It's 11:15 and we still have -11F.

Deanna, Sherri and Dan seen the show this weekend too. I was wondering how they liked it too. I thought I had heard it was sad.

Okay Sherri and Michelle M., tell us... how did you like "Marly and Me?"

I loved Marley and Me but Dan and I cried. The dog does die at the end.

Hi all!! I posted my layout in a previous post a little earlier tonight - I just edited a post of mine - Good night to all!!! Have a safe night!!! michelle m
