Allergies, Books, Movies and Scrap Goodies

Allergies suck!! And I know that all of you allergy sufferers will agree!!!

This past Monday, I started allergy shots. Two shots twice a week, yippee skippy! I didn't realize that those shots were going to make me sicker than a dog! OMG! I was one sick puppy all week long. I was not looking forward to Thursday's round of shots. I am now taking allergy pills every day until I get to the maintenance phase, which they are estimating March 2009 sometime. I am so thrilled. My parents were suppose to come here this weekend, but since I was sick, I told them not to come. It's a good thing they didn't drive in on Thursday as planned, I didn't feel remotely human like until Saturday.

Even all of these wonderful mail goodies I got during week didn't make me feel much better. However, watching 10 til Midnight and Fortress did put a smile on my face. I just love great 80's flicks. Thank goodness for Amazon.com!!!!

I finally got the latest Sandra Brown release. I haven't started it yet. But I figure I will this week. I did get another book, Bully, I finished it yesterday. Very good book, if you like true crime stuff. Very disturbing what people can do to other people.

I got two orders in this week. One of Basic Grey Granola and Urban Prarie lines and BG's new Christmas paper!!!! OMG! Yummy!!! I love great mail days, even if I am sick.

I took advantage of feeling better on Saturday and got busy finishing up some projects I had started and working on some new albums with the new BG paper. I think I am going to take a break next weekend and actually do some layouts. I did get one layout done this weekend. But I haven't taken pictures of it yet to post. Maybe next weekend.

The kittens are getting very big and into everything. OMG! You should see my legs. They have scratches all over them from those three little stooges. I will have to take some pictures of them and post them this week.

New Stuff...

I have 4 new mini albums in my Etsy Store.....

I had some mail goodies this weekend. I got the new Cosmo Cricket Oh Joy papers and so I had to immediately get started on a mini album. I just love Cosmo Cricket papers.



I also got some of the new Fancy Pants paper. Yummy!!!

It's going to be a fun evening.......

Happy Thursday.....

As you can see, I am at it again with my blog design. As much as I liked that bird, it was just taking up too much space. I also decided that I need simplicity. And this blog is as simple as you can get.

I did make my new banner. Very simple, but I think it's fun. I used some digi elements from my very sweet friend Miriam Lima of Lima Bean Designs. She has some of the cutest digi designs. Go check her site out. Lots of fun eye candy, especially for any of you digi or hybrid scrappers out there.

Tomorrow evening Chris and I are going to see Jeff Dunham at the BOK center in Tulsa. I can't wait. He is hilarious, as are his funny puppets. It's going to be a fun evening out with Chris. We haven't been out on a "date" in a long time.

And don't forget out the Go Be Creative October Kit give away I am having. I will be announcing a winner on Saturday, October 4th!!!!

GBC October Project Reveal......

Vendor Faire..Kittens..and Sneeky Peeks...

The vendor farie at work went very well. I sold a handful of mini albums, some notepads, cards, Christmas tags and some picture frames. I had a great time. It is something I would do again. Since it was at work, it was a very small venue, which is good for me. I get very stressed in crowded places. A friend of mine that had a table set up by mine wants me to go in with her on a booth at a large event in Tulsa in November. I would love too, but large crowds and I don't have near enough inventory for a 3 day event. I might try to do it next year.

On Wednesday, I went in for allergy testing. I was only tested for about 35 things that are very common in Oklahoma. And just like I suspected, I am still allergic to everything under the sun. I had the full screening done when I was 10 years old in Texas. I had several food allergies then, that I suspect I still have. They didn't test me this time around, but I will more than likely have them test me when I go back in November. I start shots this week. Two shots a week for three or four months, then one shot a week for several months, then hopefully down to once a month. Yippeee skippy. I was a bit bummed that I can't give myself the shots, instead I have to go to the docs to get them. Oh, and Chris opened his big mouth and told the doctor that I hold my breath when I am asleep. Apparently, that is not good thing. So now I have to go have a sleep study done. Thrill thrill. I will have that done at the end of October, again...yippee skippy! I guess I really need to get serious about losing that weight I have been gaining. I am thinking that that is the majority of my sleeping problem.

The kittens are doing great. They are driving us nuts, which is their sole purpose at this stage of their life. Nibby (the white one) is clearly the alpha female of the Stooges. She is a damanding little cuss and she challenges Possum every chance she gets. In fact, Possum doesn't hiss at her anymore, she just smacks Nibby right off. That seems to be the only thing that works.



Peanut Butter is nothing but high energy (well all three of the Stooges are high energy but PB by far is the most high strung). And then there is Widdles, the smallest of the three and the one you have to watch the closest. You can see her working things out in her mind. She loves to sneek up on you and pounce. This week I am getting them all collers with bells. That way I will hear them coming. We still haven't introduced them to the dogs. It won't be long though, because I really miss having my dogs in the house. Mind you, my allergist is not happy with my little zoo, but oh well, just add those allergens to my serum cause I ain't getting rid of these furry kids of mine!


Here are some sneeky peeks of my projects with the Go Be Creative October's kit.




And don't forget about the blog give away I am having!
