Day 3 Giveaway...

As I sit here this morning sipping my Peppermint Mocha Coffee as I was trying to shake off the chill of letting the dogs out.... I thought it would be fun to giveaway some chilly accents!
First is Maya Roads Chipboard Snowflakes....one of my all time favorites. You can paint them , spray them, ink them, use glossy accents on them and make them the most beautiful snowflakes ever! I love the dimension they add to my projects! Also from Maya Road I love this little Calendar spinner Day To Remember. And lastly, Glimmer Screens! You can't go wrong with these! The Winter Trees are just beautiful, and when you use either the Raidant Rains or the Glimmer Mist with them it is a winning combination. I will be adding the Glimmer Mist line to the store today for ordering any of the great colors.


Also check out Tim Holtz's blog if you don't already. I am just enjoying his 12 Tags of Christmas so much! I cant' wait to play with them as soon as the Holidays are over.

Coming ....
FRIDAY!!!
Start watching the blog each day to win your giveaway!
Thanks to the Corner Store.

Check back on Friday!

Did anyone see the Calendar today?

It says only 37 days till Christmas!!! I just love the count down.
I also love that in 12 more days I can get out the Advent boxes I made
last year for Josh and stuff them with little slips of paper, of holiday goodness.
I want to change it up a bit this year and add more things we can do for charity and
those less fortune then us. I am loving creating all my Christmas gifts this year, and
enjoying the process so much more then trying to figure out what to buy for people.

On the Store Front , The Corner Store for S.A.V.E. business is really going wonderful. It surprises me each day. I am so very thankful for all the loyal customers I have and the new ones that keep finding me. I am so blessed. I know this is a time that so many are losing their businesses and struggling to keep the doors open.

One of the reasons I am doing so well is that I am trying to provide exceptional customer service, order items that my customers want and this little gem...the Cricut Jukebox has been a great seller. I am approaching selling over 200 of these since they came out less then a year ago!
It is a great little addition to the Cricut and I also am loving it. So if you have a Cricut Fan on your Christmas list...this would be a hit! Check out the price of $59.00 at The Corner Store, you won't find a better deal anywhere!
Also need to add this stack of loveliness, Kaiser Craft Paper in da House!!! Hope to be in the store today on line....getting all the jpegs together! The Corner Store will be carrying the full line of Kaiser Craft Items. I can't get enough of their mini albums.

And these keep the sweet tooth happy! I love them so much!! (They make a great coffee stirring stick also!)

But after a few too many Peppermint sticks, I will have to crack this baby open! This weekend Kate and I will start our work out routines on the Wii FIT! I am very excited to start using this and getting some pounds off and back in shape!

And all you Lexi fans, here is the adorable little princess herself. Yes Aunt Denise was up to meet her new little niece and HAD to get her a sparkly little pink collar. I have to admit it only made her look more like the little princess she is!

A big shout out to my friend Kim Burns today also!!! The hippest 40 year old I know!! Stay Young my friend , stay young!!

I am off to see the .....

Scrapbooking side of life!!



I am bouncing today with excitement knowing in only a few hours I will be scrapbooking , listening to 80's music, snacking and laughing with my friends. Yes that is what it is that can put a smile on my face today.



Not that I won't miss my little guy and Kate , but I need to go and refresh and revive. Everyone should take the time to do that. I find I come back a better person, a better Mom.



I told Kate the other day that on my tombstone please put...."Stupid People killed her" I have to tell you I have had my share of them this week!! I have been dealing with PenDot and since August have been trying to get a simple Antique License plate for my 66 mustang....it is now November and finally after many phone calls and just short of riding out to Harrisburg to hand deliver the paperwork they have FINALLY found the paperwork and are now going to process it . I had to send it to them 3 times to get this done. KNOWING it was sent in the prior 2 times, them saying it wasn't there. They have now not only found my latest paperwork , but have miraculously found the previous 2 filings now!! UGH! I have a headache!!

I won't even go into the story of my Car , which if you all remember jumped out of park a few months back. Which they said they checked the transmission out and there was "NOTHING WRONG" , but now has been in the shop for 3 days getting the transmission rebuilt because NOW , "there is SOMEHTING WRONG" !!!! Amazing how the consumer keeps getting screwed and the big guys keep smiling as they tell you they understand, but that will be $3000.00!!!

To spite that and other little things going on, I am smiling today for the little things such as 3 days of scrapbooking with friends. Thank you friends! Thank you scrapbooking!

Now if my little guy would just feel better. He has been feeling pretty bad, with a high fever for 2 days, I am just working to keep him hydrated. It is not a small feat with an 8 year old! We are waiting on the 48 hour throat culture today , the 24 hour was negative so we are hoping the 2nd one will be also. I hope today staying home and resting will get him back on the road to feeling like himself. Again not a small feat to keep them down. They just want to go go go. DVD's are a good thing!!

So off to pack.....Have a wonderful weekend!
