My One Year Anniversary at TallyScrapper!!

Today I have been at Tally for a whole year!!! Wow! In this year, I have made some incredible online friends and have grown so much creatively. Tally was my first ever DT, and I made it my first time trying!! Tally is the reason I started a blog. Tally is my escape from the everyday life. Laura Jean got me hooked on scrapping right after my hubsters left the last time...which was right before I joined Tally. (Oddly enough, he is gone again.) Here is my first LO ever...don't laugh!!



Next "announcement"...
Tally is looking for 6 new DT members! Get over there and give it a whirl!!
You can check that out HERE! I wasn't going to try out this time. But after some gentle arm twisting, I have decided to give it a go. Wish me luck!! :0)

Yet another Tally announcement...the March kit is available now! Go HERE quick!!! Tally kits sell faster than wildfire!

Ohhhh, to the 3 winners of the RAKS...I AM sending those out tomorrow! They have been in the back of my van since the 25th! I am so sorry, but anyone who knows me knows I am a little forgetful sometimes! And, I will be sending out a box to Heidi tomorrow, too!

Anywho, tomorrow starts a new week! Hope you all have a great one!!

"Winners!"

Since it is Caleb's birthday, I let him pick the winners! He chose Christine (scrappygal), Adrienne, and Marlene! E-mail me your snail mail addresses, and I'll get your RAKs on the way!! Congrats ladies!

Thank you everyone for posting! I REALLY enjoyed reading your posts! :0)

Ooops!

Looks like I've forgotten all about my little bloggity-blog! Well, there has been a ton of stuff going on...though I am at a loss to what the stuff has actually been! lol

At any rate, I've been going through my scrappy stuff. I have decided I just don't need some of it...and it's time to pass it on! So, post a comment on my blog telling me what's going on in your life right now. I will put all the people who post between today and February 25th (Caleb's 8th Birthday) into a random drawing to "win" one of 3 RAKs!! I will announce those lucky people here on the 26th!

**CLEARANCE SALE**

There is a big clearance section at Tally Scrapper. Today, Christine added some new clearance items!! Lot's of Glitz and Jenni Bowlin! If you haven't yet, check it out now! Christine only charges the priority flat rate shipping for orders, and you can jam lots of goodness into those boxes! (Believe me! I fit all of the stuff from a few posts down into a box and still could have fit more!!) Things are going very fast. So get over there now!!

I've been tagged!!

Christine tagged me!! So, I'm supposed to look in my 6th picture folder and pick the 6th picture. Then post it. So, I plugged in my external, and here's the picture...



We bought my mother a "Husband in a Box" for her birthday last year as a joke. She left it here when she left. So, JR decided to use it as a punching bag. He had so much fun "dropping the elbow" and wrestling with it. LOL

So, I guess I am supposed to tag 6 people....hmmm...now that I'm writing this, it seems pretty freaky that we are doing 6-6-6!! And, honestly, I don't know what 6 people to tag. For now I'm not going to tag anyone. I might come back to do so...

Oh Hot Damn!! And Some Snow!!

So, I've been holding a lot of my scrappy buys and love in "jail" over at Tally. I finally had the money to free them and have them sent to me. Well, I got my Tally box (despite the bad weather) on Tuesday. Here are some pictures...try not to get too jealous! :0)



The 3 groups at the top of the first picture are all kits from Tally. The middle HoHoHo 2 Kit is sold out, but the other 2 are still available. Autumnal Inspiration (picture 2) and Playmate (picture 4). They are awesome!!

In other news, I am working on 8 Valentine's cards for a swap and a challenge (that I have use blue, "Today" and ribbon for) over at Paper Popsicles. I'll post pictures when I'm finished with them.

Speaking of challenges, there's a new one on The Paper Crate blog!! Check it out!


We got snow here in the Jacksonhell!! Snow in hell?? lol School was cancelled on Monday night for Tuesday. So, of course, the young people woke-up wanting to know where the snow was...well, it came later that day. Of course, they wanted to play in it! (We aren't prepared for snow here at my house. So, please excuse their outfits! lol) School was cancelled yesterday, too...but by then, the snow was melting and replacing itself with patches of ice. Here are a few pictures of the snow that shut down 3 entire Marine Corps Bases/Airstations and the town....

Guess What I Bought Today???

This kit from Tally!!! Naner-naner-naner!! There are still some left if you're jealous and want to get one of your own!! I was going to upload the picture, but I think Christine's video does it much more justice!!




And, HELLO?!, it's only $20.99!!! (Thank the Lord for having money to buy it this time!)


Hmmmm, I went to my second physical therapy session today. Let me just say "ouch!".

Today was a rough one for me. I cried this morning when I woke-up to a quiet house. I cried when Matt called. I cried when the young people left for school. I cried all kinds. When I think about Matthew, and how long he's going to be away from our family, I get a huge lump in my throat...a knot in my stomach...I feel like I can't breathe...yep, the anxiety attacks are back in full swing. Hell, I'm crying as I write this. (Don't worry. I'm not crying in front of the half-pints.) One day at a time.....
