Well, it's now Sunday....

It's now Sunday evening and I have to say I did not do much at all this weekend. I had wanted to have Allie go outside and pose for me so I could put all my wristwarmers on Esty. But that did not happen. I really need to do that soon. I have to get some sales, I need to get Christmas gifts. Maybe I will see if anyone wants to trade, I did that last year and got some cool stuff. Maybe with the economy the way it is more people will be willing to trade. I guess I will have to look into it. My kids seem to be lazy to, Vic the Chef slept quite a bit today. Jeff had to work at his p/t job at Wal-mart today 12-9pm. He still has not found a full time job. Still praying about that. I also would like it if people would leave a comment for me. I'd like to know what others think of my humble little blog. It would make me feel like someone was actually reading it. LOL. Not much else going on, trying to crochet a bit. I am making lip gloss holders for my friend Maryann, still have alot to go. We are making a trade, hey maybe I will use what she trades with me as gifts. She make the best soaps ever. Don't you just love handmade soap. I do. It's a wonderful little luxury. Gotta run am making meatloaf and I need to put the bacon on. Yummy, I can taste it now. Jeff actually made it so you know it will be fab. Have a great rest of you Sunday and if you have off tomorrow, enjoy it..................
Peace, love♥, and crochet...

Just tired

This past week was really stressful. There is this thing going on at work that is just dragging me down. I was so tired on Thursday that I actually fell asleep for a minute in gym class. I had to take Friday off and slept most of the day. I made an apt. for the Dr. to get a physical and a flu shot but she is so booked up it's not until Nov. 18th. And to top this all off Monday we have an in-service day while everyone else has off. UGH is all I have to say. Sorry for the down post but it's how I feel. Just stressed, busy and tired. Tomorrow will be a better day. At least we got rid of all the junk on the side of our garage. It's junk month in Dunellen , we are allowed 2 car loads of junk which Jeff with the help of his brother took advantage of this morning. So the back of our house looks nice again. TTFN~

A great weekend!!!!

Wow, what a great weekend I had. I took a personal day on Friday and went on a retreat to Warwick NY with the ladies from my church. It was the most gorgeous weather, the sun shone on us all weekend. The sessions were great as was the fellowship. I had not been to church in a bit and did not realize how much I missed everyone. Sometimes when I am down or a bit depressed I back away from everyone so I don't get hurt. I need to change that and get back with the people I love and trust. We played the best games too, Tabu, Scattagories and The t-shirt game which was the best game ever. I wan to get it for our family I never laughed so hard in my life.

My friend Patricia, I just LOVE this picture. What a beautiful face.

Chris, chugging apple cider, slow down girl...........

This cross is on top of the hill over looking the valley, so beautiful.........

This is in back of the Chapel. So peaceful, a great place to reflect and be with the Lord.

Jennifer, our driver and best friend of the speaker we had. She always takes pictures of everyone so I had to get one of her!


These are the samples I am sending off to the Little Black Box tomorrow.

For the month of December, colorful bookmarks ~

For the month of November, Flower face scrubbies~

And for the month of October round face scrubbies ~

I hope everyone enjoys the samples and checks out my shop. I will be adding new stuff soon, as soon as I can get Allie to pose for me.
This has been a busy week so far, have been tired from work but am forging on. Have a great night..............

To much? Not enough? What?

Just added a bunch of new stuff to my blog, inspirational quotes, pictures of starfish etc. etc. Is it to much? Not enough? What. I like looking at all the stuff on blogs do you? Tell me what you think. I got it all off Blogger I wish I could add music and other cool stuff but I don't know how to do it. Oh well I am happy right now. It's cold here in NJ. Last week my husband and Victoria went to a U2 concert at the Meadowlands and had a great time. Jeff's good friend Lumbo who is an Oral Surgeon gave him the tickets and to Bruce Springsteen this Friday. I told Jeff to take Vic it would be her first real concert and she loves U2. They took the train in and had a really great father-daughter time. Victoria was going to go to Springsteen on Friday to but her friend Andrew invited her and Jillian to go tonight. I hope they don't freeze. Wow wow wow. He is suppose to play the whole Born To Run Album Holy Cow did she hit the jackpot. He has never done this before. And Allie gets to go with daddy on Friday her first real concert. Jeff and I saw Bruce last year and man can he put on a concert, he really plays to the NJ fans. We are lucky to have such great friends who treat us so well. We are truly blessed♥

Hello, I'm back

Ok, so I have been gone for a week. I am going to come clean and tell you why. We were not having computer problems, my computer ,TV and phone were shut off because we could not pay the bill. It is so embarrassing to me to have this happen, but I figure alot of people are in the same boat as we are. My husband still does not have a job. He has been out of work since March. We have cut back on everything we can and are starting to live a more simple earth friendly life style. I have to say I like it. We have in the past bought so much stuff we did not need, now we really think about it. It's not about the stuff it's how you live your life. What you teach your kids and how you try to follow a path God would want you to.

So we paid the bill and now on on Monday we are switching back to the cable company, We were with Direct TV and I have to say it was the worst experience of my life. Plus we are getting soooo much more for soooo much less. Since this whole job loss I am not loyal to anyone if I can get the same thing cheaper somewhere else I am going for it. These companies do not care how they treat their customers. the Customer Service is terrible. I am getting off my soapbox now.

Vic made these awesome donuts in baking class.... We enjoyed them for a few days........
Vic enjoying her fabulously good donut...

The whole box of them ~ Yum-Yum. I think I gained 10 pounds.

Vic and the donut box.......................

Vic and Jillian at the Girl Scout Bridging ceremony for their sisters.

The Girls now Cadets and Mrs. Deegan one of the leaders. These girls have been together since Daisy's. I can no believe they are in 6th grade and Cadets.

Allie Bridging over and Mrs. Herbig one of the leaders.

The three leaders, Mary Ruthie and Lisa♥

Vic trying her hand at stilts at the bridging ceremony. It is not as easy as you think it may look.

Allie ~ The new Cadet

Allie's Junior sash.............. ah the memories.

Every year for the past 30+ years our town of Dunellen has had Art on the Green. It has gotten smaller in the past few years but it's still fun. There are crafts and local businesses and groups that come out. I actually won some cool scapbooking paper, 4 stamps and stamp pad and adhesive from Stampin' up how cool was that. Victoria and I went we had a good time and saw people we knew from town. Allie was at Great Adventure with a friend.

Victoria looking at the sports vendor. He had players cards framed very cool but to rich for my blood.

We liked this motorcycle, it was a fundraiser for a group.

Victoria painting a pumpkin which she later gave away? Who knows.\

A view of Washington Park. This is where we also light up the town Christmas tree.

Maybe one year I will take part in it and sell my crochet.

Ta Ta For Now~

Peace, love♥, and crochet...
