Tony, Ellie and I just got back from super sunny San Diego at midnight Wednesday/Thursday. We had a great time, but as with any trip away, it is good to be home. Christmas was a lot of fun and was filled with family. Ellie enjoyed opening presents. This is the first time that she actually opened stuff herself. She had a ball with her cousins and undeniably enjoyed giving granpapa the evil eye…LOL! Since we have gotten back, there hasn’t been a moments rest. Yesterday we ran around and I hit the Bath and Body Works super sale. I actually went into the store twice. The first time I realized that the line was about 40 people deep and said that it was too crazy even for me. Then, I talked myself into going back and now have about 2 years worth of body wash and lotion. We have also been on a mad hunt for a Wii ever since we played it in San Diego. We finally found one at Best Buy…yay!!! Thank you Mom and Dad **wink**. In addition to shop shop shopping, we have enjoyed catching up with some friends that are in town. On Thursday we went out with my BFF and her hubby. Last night we went out with one of my friends from the 4th grade!!! It was a lot of fun reminiscing about old times. She and I used to have our own magazine called “Sizzler” when we were in middle school. We would cut out pictures from other magazines and write our own articles. We would even review shows and movies. In one article, I highly recommended Mr. Belvediere. Anyone recall that show!?!?! LOL!! When we were about to leave, the incredibly cute guy that we crushed on and that played quarterback for our high school team walked by our table. It made us giggle a bit!! That’s a small town for you!! Well, I have rambled enough. I’ll leave you with the card that I made for my friend’s daughter’s birthday. I’ll be back to “normal” posting and A Sketch For You To Try after the first of the year. Have a wonderful, safe and happy new year!!!
What a fun card!! I love those little chicks. (sunny skies?? you are making me jealous, it’s sooo cold here and it just won’t stop snowing.) Have a good day!
Love that card!! What a fun image — kinda reminds me of myself knee-deep in holiday food!
