Almost there...almost there

tacky Star Wars quote for a title of this blog?!

I MUST be tired of Christmas!
Actually, it appears that everything is ready...I did some baking today, make my shopping list for the missing items from the pantry to make for the BIG Christmas dinner and I think everything that we ordered as gifts has been received...including th gift card that the dog tried to eat! Gotta complain to UPS for just leaving it on the front step and not knocking when the dog was out?!?!?

6 nights to go!

Only 6 nights and a wake up until Santa comes bearing gifts!

I have one more "gift" to purchase and I am done shopping. Still need to wait for delivery and wrap and decorate and such but the $$$ is spent! I am stopping by a store tonight to check out the item I intend to buy but if it's not there, I have to go back to AC Moore...Oh Man! Me and AC Moore? I can't NOT spend money there...

Just ordered my DIsney pictures via Snapfish so I'll have some MORE scrapping to do...like I don't have enough already to do :o)

Merry Christmas!!!!1

It's being to look a lot like Christmas---NOT!

We have our tree, it is up in its stand, I put some ribbon on it and it has lights...that's where my Christmas preparations end. No cookies baked, no wreaths or lights on the house, nothing!

Just started the shopping too.

I am so "out of it this year". Not sure why ...

but I did get the girls to see Santa on Sunday so I CAN check that off my list.

Packages from my online shopping trips have finally started to arrive.

Took the girls to the Dollar store for their shopping lists and they filled their baskets and have already wrapped most of the gifts...of course, they can't put them under the tree since it doesn't even have its skirt yet :o)

"I don't mind coming to work,

But that eight hour wait to go home is a bitch."

Christmas Countdown ... 12 days 'til the man in red arrives

I have done most of my Christams creations BUT still don't have the tree up INSIDE the house yet...the space is all ready to be filled with our HUGE tree.

This time of year is SO BUSY!

Lloyd is coming home tomorrow and my thought was always to wait for him before we decorate so I guess my subconcious won out, huh?

I was tyring to scan some of my creations last night then noticed it was 11pm and I stopped and went to bed...really need to get a clock in the basement!!!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....NOT!

I haven't even started my shopping or decorating or ANYTHING!!! And the worse part of it all...I can't find my Christmas sweaters! :)

Only 21 days until the man in red comes sliding down my chimney...hopefully, he has started HIS shopping

As I reflect on this photograph, I see once again that not all the brave leave the "home of the brave" to enter battle; some are required now to be the brave of the home. It is said a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one leaves me speechless.

These guys deserve our love, our hugs and most powerfully, our prayers. Prayer Request: I understand that life in Iraq is very difficult to bear right now. Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance and safety.

And ANYTHING that depicts scripture is PERFECT as well!

I love this picture-Sami peeking thru a window at Disney...she wasn't excited or anything :)

My girls hanging out with Mickey and Pluto at Disney MGM. Mickey was all decked out in holiday splendor...plaid is the Disney theme this year.

Dopey and my silly husband! Or is that backwards????

We're BAAACCCKKKK!

Well, some of us are. We made it to Orlando in 14 hours. Ken drove pretty much straight thru overnight...bless his heart... We had a great time,

typicak Disney stuff, went to the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Disney/MGM, and Epcot. Also, visited Shamu at SeaWorld.

NOW, Sami wants to swim with Shamu when she grows up OR be a super model :o)

We took lots of pics and will post the best ones and my Disney album too.

Oh, the some of us that aren't back? My parents and sister & brother in law opted to fly...5 hour delay, they are just getting to their house tonight...we've been home since just after lunch time...hmmm!

The drive isn't as bad as sitting in the airport for 10 hours?!?!?! I think not

Countdown to Disney

Oh, so close to my 18 hour drive to Orlando...I am standing here beside my self with anticipation!

Yeah...RIGHT! I have Disney stickers and little mouse ears on the days I will be in Florida. I CANNOT wait to get away from the office and play!

I actually found my wonderful complete Disney album I made at Camp Hill thanks to two WONDERFUL ladies - THANKS Sandy and Laura - You guys ROCK!

Now all I need to do it sanp some pics and stick them in the book...I WILL post pics once we get that all done so you can see this wonderful album!!!

We are having Thanksgiving at Orange Lake resort --we have decided that Thursday the 22nd will be our "chill out" day with football, food and whatever. No stress that day :o) And if it's warm, we will take the kids to the waterpark at the resort

We will be heading home on the 24th and staying over night in Mayberry...Yep, Mount Airy, North Carolina styaing on Andy Griffith Hwy. Gonna take lots of pics there too. Maybe Floyd's barber shop and Goober's service station???

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Ya'll

The Beginning of the end???

Not sure if I even wanted to start a blog or not. Too many things keeping myself busy as it is but then I said to myself, "Self, why not??"

My plan is to scrapbook and do my altered arts and post pics of them here~~~the dilemma

I have to make them first, right? and then there is the problem of the camera...mine died and I am without picture taking ability except of course for my camera phone but they aren't the BEST pics, are they...
