Mac Attack

Our old trusty computer passed away a few months ago, so we found ourselves in need of a new computer. We thought it was a great time to get that laptop we had been really wanting! We were limited in our choices though, due to budget, but we got a great computer. We didn't get a Mac like everyone always seems to ask. If we could have afforded it, it would have been what we purchased. We are always hearing about Mac memory & all the amazing gadgets that come along with a Mac. I guess our next computer will be a Mac, if money allows. :)

Stamping in the holidays


I had been planing our Christmas card since last Christmas, well not really planning, just coming up with ideas. I had gotten a pack of Christmas stamps on clearance that I wanted to use on the envelope. It was super cute & I loved the one I used. Now I am thinking, once again about next year. I would really love to order a custom rubber stamp just for the occasion. I love unique things that not just everyone has & this would be perfect! Here is a collection of some. I think my favorite one is "Hugs and kisses and holiday wishes."

Good Christmas

Christmas was absolutely wonderful! It was the best I have ever had I think. I am so blessed! God is good, that is all I can say!

I'm not completely shure what my plans are going to be for New Years. I have never gone to a huge party or anything, so it's not like I am missing out some super celebration. And thankfully I just found out Daniel will be able to be home. He had thought he was working that night. More than likely I will cook something yummy & we will play the games we got for Christmas! We got 5!!! And probably watch a movie & of course the ball drop!

Granny's Trips

When I was little I had never been much of anywhere, expect the beach. But my Granny had traveled all over the US. She was a bowler & went different places to bowl in tournaments. She never flew anywhere either, always drove. I hated it when she was away, but when she returned she was full of a wealth of long detailed stories of her adventures to Vegas, Reno, Mount Saint Helens, Niagra Falls & many more. She loved her bowling trips & she let you know all about it too! It was a time for her to get away with the girlfriends. I think about it now & wonder what it must have been like to travel with her across the country. She was such a clown & know that there was probably more laughter then they knew what to do with. Oh man...I am having a major miss her moment just typing this.

A New Look

I think it was time to decorate for Christmas around here!

Wagon Train

Kids wagons used to be the one toys that every kid seemed to have. But nowadays that are not the norm, by any means. I just think they are adorable & would want my kids to have one. I think that the imagination that can come from playing with a little red wagon is endless. I didn't have one when I as a kid, but I sure did want one. Thankfully my friend next door had one & we used to load that thing down with whatever "story" we were playing out for the day. It could have been anything from a baby dolls, to a load of rocks! You never knew, but it sure was fun!

Got The Time?

I haven't wore a watch in ages, but I do still admire them. I like the pieces that look more like a bracelet, rather than a normal watch. The last watch I wore was an all silver bracelet type & that's exactly what I found again, when I was looking at Movado watches.

I fell in love with the face on this watch. It big, but yet feminine. Plus it's not fussy & can go with just about everything. That's always important to me, because if I am going to invest in something I want it to be versatile.
