It's a chilly morning, so in light of the day, I thought I'd post this dark/fun Halloween Card. Very Girlie, yet chilly.. LOL This weekend was the grand opening of "Stamp N Scrap Ink" a local Scrapbook Store, more like a local STAMP Store... Yes, we don't have too many of those opening up around these parts. Most Stamp/Scrap Stores have been closing down. It's exciting to have a local store open in Dyer, Indiana. Saturday they opened at 9am and had goody bags for the first 100 customers. This place was "AMAZING", it had a ton of stamps. This can be dangerous.

So I gave myself a budget before leaving the house. I would spend $20.00 and that was it. I know that's nothing, when visiting one of these stores. But I had no money, so this was good enough. And going forward I'm going to give myself an allowance before I go. Because it worked out just great!! I stuck to it, I really didn't need anything, but it's so much fun browsing and picking out that special stamp. On Sunday, I decided to introduce the store to my sister..... She was like, "Oh this could be dangerous".... Exactly. Only another stamper would understand. It was like Stamp Heaven walking in there. They really out did themselves, they are better than "Achievers".. yes. I said it. But it really truly is a stamp store. So on our Sunday trip, I didn't purchase anything, stuck to my guns. I had two things in my hand and decided it could wait.

I came home on Saturday and just had inspiration to continue creating Halloween cards... hope you like, "Mitzi the Mummy" by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps... ENJOY!!

More Halloween Cards.

I think we've already covered I'm not a great blogger. Don't have fun facts to share and my English is horrible :D

I think I've also mentioned that Halloween and Thanksgiving are my favorite holidays. Love all the colors. And really enjoy making cards for the season. I've been sick for almost 3 weeks now, really bad allergies... hoping that in a few weeks, they will subside. In the meantime, staying home a little more than often and enjoying the peace and quite in the house.


This stamp set is from the Halloween set 2 by Rubbernecker.

My favorite time of the year!!

The Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love warm sweaters, comfy hoodies, Flannel PJ's, leaves changing color, Fire pits, smores, hot chocolate, good Hair! LOL. The last one is the best, my hair will stay straight and curls won't look frizzy :o) Ya'll know what I'm talking about too. I love the midwest because of all the seasons, and would'nt change where I live one bit. The only thing I dislike about this season, is the allergies when Summer turns to Fall. But that will end soon, hopefully :o)

So I've been busy making Halloween cards, and I'll hopefully get some in the mail this year. A new stamp store opened in Dyer and I purchase two new stamps. Zelda the Zombie and Mitzi the Mummy. Really excited that a "Stamp Store" has opened.

Enjoy the season :o) Burrrr..

It's my Birthday!!!

I've been trying really hard to post everyday. Or write a few posts every night and set them to post automatically. I'll probably go back to being a bad blogger, but for now, I'll enjoy just writing, even if no one is reading. Oh and my English is bad. Maybe if I wrote in Spanglish, everything would be better.

So I decided to post an updated picture of myself. I'm so happy lately, even though these weeks have been rough financially. I still have faith in the Lord. He truly gets me through each day.

I've become more spiritual. I read the bible every night and I'm just in the best place I've even been..."EVER" . Today I turn 35 YEARS OLD! And I feel like my life has just begun.

The new ride

Proud owner of a "Jeep Wrangler"..... a few months ago, I purchased a new car for Louie. He had a big decision to make either finish the basement or buy a new car. Who was I kidding??? This kid was going to pick a car.

He just couldn't wait to take the doors off the car, it was the first thing him and his friends did. I think he's been pretty happy with it. A few days ago he got into a fender bender and now he's a nervous wreck. So car's been in the garage hibernating. I keep praying that the everything comes out okay with the other vehicle and that God will see us through this mess. He really is a great kid, I never had any problems with him. I love my boy and we have to be confident that God knows why he puts us through this. And just be thankful that Louie has his life and so does the other driver.

Oh Deer.

This summer I was training for the 2010 3Day Breast Cancer walk that happened in August. It was my 3rd year walking 60 miles for Breast Cancer. This year was not a great year, as I torn my medial meniscus. So I walked 50 miles this year. I was miserable, but I managed. And I finished.

So onto the picture. I captured this picture while training at our campsite in "WoodHaven Lakes"
I was walking as I saw this deer eating. I started talking to it like a baby, "Oh your so beautiful", "Look at you little one, your the cutest of the bunch"... Remember, "Baby talk".... Well the deer decides to follow me. I was FREAKIN OUT!!! So much for being nice. "Oh Deer"... LOL

LOOOOOOseeerrrrrr!!!!!

Oh my gosh... I found this picture at the bottom of my scrapbook box, it's perfect.

Louie and my nephew Tony were probably about 3 years old in this photo. Louie's new word was "LOSER", I think maybe Chris Farley was big on saying that word that year.

Because once Louie heard it from my siblings, he always had his fingers ready to sign "LOSER"... But you have to say it like Farly, "LOOOOOOOserrrrrr". Haha....

We kept trying to snap pictures with him not doing it, but at the end he got it in. He and Tony were adorable at this age. They loved each other, and took care of each other all the time. Tony was the over protective one.. Louie was the goof ball. Things haven't changed :o)
