Hello Everyone,

Sorry I have not been posting for a while.. My messy scraproom of course was a deterrent for me in wanting to scrap... I tackled that demon and spent last night making cards...

Valentines & Other Cards

My craft room is a disaster and I really should clean it up today, we will see how that goes.. I have been procrastinating cleaning it because I have not had any inspiration.

Caitlin wanted to give her Teacher a Valentine and Amanda wanted to make some of her friends valentines, so we tiptoed around the huge mess in there cleared a space off and started looking for things we could use for Valentines Day..

Caitlin and I accomplished making a Valentine for her Teacher and Amanda became side tracked with American Idol and totally forgot about making Valentines. (As she is in 5th grade and changes classes they no longer do Valentine Card exchanges)

So with my kids occupied doing other things and a small clean area in my craft room I decided to catch up on some neglected crafting..

Let me apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures, they were taken with my webcam because my camera was/is in the car..

Candy Bouquets

Are you tired yet of seeing pictures of my Bouquets of Candy? I will try and promise that these will be the last pictures..

Answers to Questions I have been asked:

Yes I am doing these bouquets as a business, I have come a long way when I first started out they were quite sparse..my dh would say change this or that and I would be totally offended but he would be right...

.. I know some of you have asked for the directions i have not written them out or anything which is why I haven't sent them... I do however plan on doing a video of directions and I hope to have that completed by the end of this month.

I have seen mentioned some stamping companies on other blogs and I wonder who makes that stamp or this stamp... there are alot of companies/makers I am unaware of... so enlighten me... Please... I will pick the winner on my anniversary (11 years) which is February 22nd.

MF and You Magazine

Well Caitlin had a Magazine job a while back and the issue came out I think around December but I was never able to find it online or locate it locally. Finally I asked the agency for a copy and when she went to an audition today for an All Media for an Energy Drink they gave my DH the magazine..

Of course on the front cover is the website I needed.. LOL As I looked it up she is actually on the header.. Here is the link if you want to take a peek..

Anywho.. My temperature last night was 103, today it is 100.2 so I am hoping by tomorrow I will be better, because I don't think anyone else will be out there selling girl scout cookies... ughghghg
I will definitely post the Blog Candy tomorrow... it is 1120pm right now and my house is sort of in shambles..see what happens when you become ill? I am sure all of you have been there..
