My Life Now ;)

Hi Everyone!!! I will have a card tomorrow..but I had to show you my Friday Funny (on Friday) LOL! well since we have triplets now and they ALL like to sleep on the bed, our sleeping arrangement's are super fun! ...and by super fun I mean I have to be really fast to get my blankets on me. I have to be super fast to get in a position I find comfortable. I have to be super fast to make sure Rocks gets first dibs on which part of the bed he wants to sleep on. I wake up during the night and wonder why my back, side and arms are hurting PLUS I need to UN-stick my cheek from the wood on the side of the KING size bed! .. because while I'm asleep I guess I think about there comfort first and end up sleeping like the letter M.....after I UN-kink myself I end up moving at least two of them and ya know what? they snore even louder but never open there eyes! the top picture was taken at about 4:30am and that lump is Tim (facing away from gassy bulldog butts) (smart man even while asleep) ...second picture is from this morning both Kat and Bones ended up sleeping head to head...so darn cute! So this is my life now  Bulldog mania and I love every second of it :) ....have a great night!!!!
Thank You!!!! Come Again!!!!

Christmas Peacock :)

Hi Everyone!!!!!! remember I told you last week that it was going to be a crazy week, well by my absence can you tell it WAS! holy moly! 2 days before Thanksgiving I got food poisoning that led into the flu ..so fun, NOT! so needless to say I didn't get my birthday Sprinkles cupcakes :( ..but next weekend we will make up for it :) yay! so anyways I'm back and ready to play..so I of course picked The Sweet Stop sketch..everything is SU but not the sentiment, flowers or corner bling..I thought a Christmas peacock was just what I needed..remember I also told you guys that Monday's are crazy busy for me, well today was no exception. So that is why I am posting tonight. This is a really cruddy picture but I will switch it out tomorrow I just didn't want to go another day without posting :) so have a great night

Hi Everyone!!! Sorry! it's been crazy and it's going to be even crazier this week! we are celebrating Thanksgiving Wed, Thurs and Fri! I think it will be a 20lb weight gain kinda week :) plus on Sat my mom is coming to my house because we are working on an applique Christmas quilt together..I'm so excited! can't wait to share with you..So anyways I made this card yesterday but nothing I did would take away the yellow look from my Ipad's camera so I waited till today to show you..it's a simple sketch from The Sweet Stop :) ..you can't really tell but the background paper is pretzels and the little piece of DP are chocolate chips..I wanted to keep it real with the Tasty Treats spin LOL! and of course I had to use a milkshake button in the middle of the flower, simple card but I like it :) ..I hope you have a great day!

Owl Christmas and Kat... Oui :)

Hi Everyone!!! I wanted to make a Christmas card but not any card, nope I wanted a cutesy and fun card :) ..It really makes me smile. The sketch is from Mojo Monday...everything is SU except the flower and little bling..Little bitty story Chiy and I had to put some fans up in the attic, well she shut the door and we left all 3 dogs unsupervised for no more then 10 mins and guess what I found when I went into my sewing room...a new spool of thread that died and went to spool heaven (shaking head)..so now I have to replace my single spool, so that means I need to spend $50.00 to get free shipping ..O darn! ;) darn dog teehee! ...have a great day!!! FOOTBALL tonight!!! whoo hoo!!

Meet My 2 New Family Members!! :)

Hi Everyone!!!! OK so it's been CRAZY in my house!!!! I am now the proud parent of not just one adorable bully but 3! Let me start off by introducing them..the top picture is Bones, second picture is Kat and of course you all know Rocks in the 3rd picture :) ..well Kat is a puppy and I haven't done puppies in 15 years, so am I running around with my head caught off...you betcha! as a matter of fact right now she's running around the family room chasing her toys and driving Bones and Rocks crazy! because she runs by them hits them, then sits on Bones face, does Bones move or stop snoring heck no!  Rocks looks at me like what the heck mom there crazy, he's not in love with Kat that's for sure but they all get along so well! I'm grateful! :) Did I tell you that Eewok Chiy's dog is also wondering what the heck (but I think he's cussing in his head) he hasn't left his bedroom..I give him a week to finally accept that there staying...so like a new mom I haven't had time to sew or craft but today I did! It is a simple card but I can't do more then this right now LOL!!!! It's a color challenge from The Friday Mashup..so I have to go I hear something breaking..see ya soon!!!

Schneider X-Mas Skirt and a Baby Quilt + Rocks :)

Hi Everyone!!!! I can say that I promise to have a card tomorrow :) ..I just came back from picking up my quilts from the quilter and wow she did a phenomenal job! I did close up shots of her quilting designs. Can you see the two Dino's so cute! My daughter's best friend is having a baby boy, so Chiy is giving her the quilt at the baby shower next weekend.  Every year we have a Schneider Christmas with just my hubby's family. So this year I made a special tree skirt. The flower that the quilter did was awesome..Love it! ..All I need to do is bind both of them. I hope you all have a great Friday! Rocks loves his toys and he loves to sleep LOL! :)
