How to Outline a Punched Scallop Square Quickly and Easily!
I love the Scallop Square Punch but sometimes I just want to give it a little pizzazz and I think that giving it a decorative edge is just the thing to take it from nice to WOW! The decorative edge is quick and easy...and no, I did not freehand it! I cannot draw a staight line! See? Easy-Pe...
Everything is so cute! Wasn't it fun to participate?

I am glad to hear about your friends! You are always so busy but I bet if you didn't have much to do you wouldn't know what to do with yourself. I haven't started the photo hunt yet. I've been too busy and it might be an incomplete hunt for me.

Friday Randomness
I have a lot to catch up on in the bloggy-world so I thought I would do a random post One. Oh Happy Friday! This week seemed to take forever. Looking forward to my upcoming break which starts next Wednesday. Wish it was the full two weeks like most other years, but 8 days off is still a bless...

Do you love Bacon? Mmm, I do! And as I was looking for something tonight I came across some fun bacon stuff and thought I'd make a post out of it..... Did you know you could sign up for a Bacon of the Month Club at The Pig Next Door? They boast bacon made from "America's finest bacon artisans...

A Much Needed New Look....
I wish it was ME I was talking about, but I was actually talking about this blog. Don't ya hate it when the site of your own blog starts to disgust you to the point where you can't blog again until you do something about the ugliness? I am a freak like that. So my current excuse for not bloggi...

Today is my bff Sonja's birthday and even though I know she doesn't read my blog very often ( no computer, no internet) I wanted to wish her a very happy birthday. A few of us ended up going out last Friday for all-you-can-eat sushi/Japanese to celebrate. I hope you have a great birthd...

Alrighty, here we go with another installment of Tuesday's Top 10. This week I will list my favorite foods. This is super hard for me because I love food so much, it is hard to narrow down just 10 (as it is with all my Top 10 lists!). lol. These are not in any particular order 1. Tacos 2. S...
I drink pop about once a month. I also do not drink caffeine so I am limited to what kind I can drink and I don't like the thought of having aspertame with diet pop. I usually drink the same as you...Sprite, Sierra Mist or my favorite, root beer.

TFT: Drinking Soda
It has been about 2 years now since I stopped drinking soda. Prior to that I was drinking approx two regular caffeine-free sodas a day, but only drank them with meals (usually Sprite or root beer). After I stopped drinking soda I miraculously started losing weight, it seemed there was a defini...
I don't know anything about that camera but I did do a lot of research on Nikon's and Canon's in general and while I was set on Nikon, I changed my mind that I would go with a Canon....when that day comes that I have enough money to purchase one! I hope you get what you want for Christmas!

Snoop Dogg with Method Man & Redman at Epic Nightclub
Wanna know what I did last night? Well, first I worked 12 hours. But who cares about that!? I got to see Method Man, Redman and Snoop Dogg at Epic Nightclub!! It took some deliberating about whether to go or not since the tickets were kinda spendy, I had worked a ton that day already and I al...

Mother Nature's November Warm-Up
This past Saturday was one of the most beautiful fall days we could ask for in MN! The sun and 65' temp were a welcome sight after the cold, rainy month of October that we had. I had wanted to get out and plant my tulips in the perfect weather but decided to go on a hike and get some exercise i...
