It's MY Day...

Okay, so I've been gone forever.  Sorry!  :(

My attention has been on growing this baby, I must admit, but I just HAD to blog today because

a-  I had the time

and

b-  Dan told me that I DAD to!

SO... today I got home from church later than the rest of the family because I had a meeting and I walked into my bedroom to find this--

Dan had set up my Oscar viewing station on the couch in my bedroom.  Pillows, an Oscar Preview TV Guide which he bought me, an Oscar ballot sheet he prints out for us every year, my remotes, my iphone (to text my friends during the show and take any calls), my laptop so I could blog, and of course lots of sugar free snacks from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company (which he bought me too). 

So here I am in sheer HEAVEN!!!

Well, the show is starting so I must go!  YEAH!!!!!! 

Thanks, Dan... you're the best!

I'm So Completely Bummed...

This is my favorite TV day of the year.  I should be in my jammies, on my bed with my massage pillow back and surrounded by scrapbook supplies and yummy snacks.  :(

But NO... not this year! 

Stupid writers!  (All except for my friend's husband, Ken...  sorry Ken, I'm speaking out of grief!)

Saturday Layouts...

Boys_bike_trip_2

I love how this "ALL BOY" layout turned out.  They're  a little harder for me to do, so I think that's why I'm extra happy.

Create Layout With One of My Old Paper Piecing Patterns

Our_girl

This was a fun one!  I'm such a nerd, but I still love paper piecing.  Watch me... I'm single handedly going to bring it back in style! No?  Okay, well I still like it unfashionable as it is.  :)

The C and the SMILE are metal, but they don't look like it on this scan.

Layout With a Large Date

Just_what_i_always_wanted

These pics crack me up because right after Chandler saw that Santa brought him a Game Boy, he broke down hysterically crying because he wanted Santa to bring him a "football that whistles".  Okay...   I should have saved that extra $90 and actually listened to the kid!  :)

Downloaded Some Ringtones Onto My iPhone

I LOVE making my own ringtones on iTunes!  If you've got an iPhone you've got to try this!  My newest ringtones are:

Dan- The Charlie Brown Theme (my Dan IS Charlie Brown)

Patrick- Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses

My Mom- Take Your Mama Out by Scissor Sisters

My Dad- Scarlet Fever by Kenny Rogers (he sings this song to Scarlet EVERY time he sees her!)

Everyone Else- Defying Gravity from Wicked

I have like 100 more that I want to make, but at least I did some today!

Uploaded Some New Pics Onto My iPhone

I was getting very bored of the pics that have been on there, so I added about 100 new ones... fun!

Burp Cloth With Brown Minkee

January_2008_011fixed_2

January_2008_018_2 I LOVE how this one turned out.  The brown minkee is beyond soft and I just can't wait for Keiran to spit up on it!   lol

I have to say, I'm obsessed with the letter "K" right now.  Expect to see it A LOT in the next few months.  If I can't put bows on him, then he'll be monogrammed to ad nauseam!  :0)

HERE are the directions to make the burpie.
