Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband!!!

This Christmas has been one of my best ever I think…. It has been nice just being able to relax and hang out with family… that and it is mine and Jason’s first Christmas married to each other… :) I recieved so many wonderful presents this Christmas… here is a partial list that should include at least the big stuff
Ipod mini blue
Dyson animal vacuum(sp?)
Sizzix machine and accessories
Air filter (one where you don’t change the filter just clean it)
Scrapbook stuff
Rare Dean Koontz books
The new Dean Koontz book
Quarters for laundry
Kitty stuff….

Needless to say I am very blessed as is evident from the list… There are several things on that list I didn’t think I would be getting for quite a while yet…. Hope everyone had a great Christmas… Jason and I are heading home tomorrow so blogging may or may not become more regular after that…. :)

Whew…

After about 6 sheets of vellum I have a completed page!! I will post pictures soon… I have finished a few since my last picture…. I will update this post when I have the pics… Thanks to my sweetie for saving the day on this last project!

UPDATE!! Pics are in the more section!

I think I might cry…

I have been working on a layout which requires me to print on vellum in a very specific way… I have screwed it up at least 5 times now…. The scrapbook store thinks I am slightly crazy for going in and buying the same piece of vellum about four different times… Jason finally went this last time for me… It better be the last time.

In better news…. Our wedding announcement was in the newspaper and can be seen here.

Ordering online

Every gift I have gotten for someone I have gotten online this year…. I was sure to get my shopping done early so that I could allow for shipping. I ordered my mom’s especially early since it required some personalizing… I ordered it early in November. It said to allow four weeks to process and then shipping time. So according to that schedule it was supposed to ship no later than Dec. 11th. On Dec 12th I recieve an email saying it won’t ship until the 21st. Well since we are going to WI on the 23rd that didn’t leave much time for it to arrive here and me get it. I called to see if they could change where it ships to so that I could get in WI they said they couldn’t. I was frustrated… called my mom and told her I wouldn’t have her gift by Christmas… Well today I come home and there it is sitting outside my door. I think that JC Penny needs to be a little more aware of what is happening with their shipments… But hey… I am happy I have it now! :)

Update!

I have updated my “About me” section… also known as the “100 thing” section since it was a little out of date. :)
