Hello and Happy Saturday!

Here’s my card for todays Unscripted Sketches

This day has been flying by much too quickly, and I only have a couple more hours to work on a few things on that to-do list before I need to find myself in bed to take a nap before I head out to work the overnight shift tonight.

Gave Oliver a bath this morning. What a task that is. He was not very happy with me and kept snorting at me. That’s not counting the brushing him out part. PHew, I am exhausted!! And I think Oliver is grateful that his bath is completed for another week. Speaking of Oliver, here he is celebrating his 1st Birthday! [and yes, my guy needs an appointment with the groomer badly!]

Need to find myself taking a nap so I will be able to stay awake at work. Until tomorrow-

Hello and Happy Saturday friends! Woke up to sunshine and a temperature of 3 degrees this morning. Ugh. Spring, where are you?!

My One World-One Heart 2010 post, has 401 comments!! I set a goal of 500 comments during the Magic Carpet ride, if you want to join, it’s not too late, links close on February 8th. HOpe you’ll enter my giveaway, and share my blog with your friends!

Here’s my card for todays Unscripted Sketches

I’m a bit behind schedule tonight. I drove my two boys to the big city this afternoon to meet up with a friend to head out to see Shinedown in concert [which I wish I'd thought about telling them to grab a ticket for me also--even more so after Matthew called to tell me they are less than 30 feet from the stage..], and decided to walk around a few stores…which of course I lost total track of time.

I’ve been looking for a pink clutch [atleast I think that is what they are called], and to my surprise I found one in Target tonight. Even better, it was regular price $13.00 on clearance for $3.00.

It will hold those necessites for those moments when I’m not in the mood to carry a purse.

•  -Kristin asked us What’s Your Backup Plan? and I’ve been inspired to organize, delete and back up the [insert gulp here] 15,000+ digital photos that sit inside my laptop–that if lost/damaged, I would never be able to replace them, and represents almost 12 years of mine and my families lifes/memories [insert a very, very big gulp here].

• -I clipped out the above visual in one of my magazines last month and thought I would share with you all. Don’t get me wrong, I am far from perfect, but I consider everything that I eat, and the plate on the right just makes sense and more importantly, keeps you full [just to throw out one of the many benefits].
• -I Love Maya Angelou. Dr. Angelou is truly an inspiration and symbolizes the human spirit of love, kindness, and peace. Her words never cease to inspire me, and I wanted to share a quote that I feel is amazing…

Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtues consistently. You can’t be consistently kind or fair or humane or generous, not without courage, because if you don’t have it, sooner or later you will stop and say, “The threat is too much. The difficulty is …too high. The challenge is too great.”

Well friends, the night is closing in on me and I am going to end my ramblings. Until tomorrow…

Hello Friends! I’m still on the search for additional ‘time’ to get everything accomplished that I want and need to.

Today I focus and find beauty in the ordinary.

I forgot to share my card for Saturdays Unscripted Sketches

This morning I had an interview at a facility for a Charge Nurse position, and it looks very good. Excited, and nervous at the same time. Now just need to wait for the HR Department to complete my background check, and call me and officially offer me the position.

The beginning of this month I applied for a Design Team position for Log Your Memory: Real Life 2010 Collab Project, and today I received word that I have been chosen. I am excited, and looking forward to meeting the team. If you are interested in having your work published, Kristin posted this information: 365 Chances To Get Published! And, if you aren’t a member of the Log Your Memory Community, what are you waiting for?

I’m working on the charms, and ATC swaps that I signed up for. Hoping to have a picture or two to share before the end of this weekend.

Well friends much to do, so I am going to run along for now…talk to you tomorrow.

[please excuse the appearance of my new blog template, we are still working on the design and layout]

Today the Unscripted Design Team is hosting an Unscripted Blog Hop.

I hope that 2010 brings each of us, our families, and loved ones,

  Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Everything Good!

The last few months of 2009 found me busy with life. Studying for the NCLEX exam, and stressing about the exam took up a lot of my life in my journey to become a Registered Nurse, but now I am ready to find my mojo and begin some scrappy projects!

In yesterdays post I have listed my Resolutions/Goals for 2010, and my word for 2010.

Project Share: As I am working on being better organized and getting rid of extra ’stuff’. I went thru every scrapbook magazine that I had and ripped out ideas and things that caught my eye.

I cut out and glued everything down and added to a Rolodex.

It sits within reach on my worktable and I love it! I am planning on covering the dividers with patterned paper and labeling my sections. I freed up a huge amount of space on my bookcase. Love when an idea comes together!!

Blog Candy! Two sets of acrylic stamps and one acrylic clear mini block.
