Here's a chance to winn something amazing!!

Say what? A giveaway today??!

I am so glad you stopped by the blog today...because today is a {very special day}!

Why you ask? 

Because it's Wednesday. And we have an awesome giveaway today!

Do you remember when I gave you this sneak peek?

I asked you to give me your best guess as to what this new product was. Everyone was {hoping} that it was 12x24 stack of adhesive paper....guess what.

You were right!!!

We have changed the packaging a bit but the product is the same. You will get a 36 sheet stack of 12x24 paper...12 sheets solid cardstock, 12 sheets printed cardstock, 12 sheets solid glitter cardstock...and all of it ADHESIVE!!! It will be in your Joanns stores and the retail prices is about $40. Perfect for using in the Cricut & E-clips machines with the mega cutting mats!

Here is my machine with a gorgeous piece of glitter cardstock....ready to cut a cute halloween box.

On the new cartridges, the offer awesome boxes to cut out....but unless you want a teeny tiny box, this is where the 12x24 paper comes in handy.

                          

Even though the cardstock is adhesive, you don't have to peel the backing off! If you leave the back on like I did for this box, it gives you an even heavier piece of cardstock perfect for boxes like these.

Can you believe the Cricut cut out these tiny little spiders....1/2 inch tall! Wow. 

Do you want to get your hands on this awesome product RIGHT NOW before it hits the store shelves?

Happy Birthday Momma!!!

Today is my Momma's Birthday. I wish she were here to celebrate it with her. She passed away Jan. 5, 2003. I miss her so very much. Seems like my life has changed in so many ways since then. I could go on and on but I am starting to heal so I am not going to bring it all up again. I will say tho that it was the most wonderful thing ever having her as my Mom. She never ask for much and she gave way more than she had. I think it was my moms goal to make sure that everyone around her was happy and had what they needed way before she would ask. Actually I don't remember her ever asking for anything. I was truly BLESSED to have had her as my Mom!!!
I am making a special dinner tonight in her honor and then this week end I am going to have my family over and go to the cemetery to visit for a few. I want to take her something and then I will feel better. 
Seems like she is still here reminding me of things from time to time... I never had to write things down for later because she was the one that could give me the answers to most anything... actually it was her and my niece Chevon... both have gone from this earth but they are still here in my heart. Although I sure miss them and their wit... Anyway I don't have a lot of time but I wanted to tell my Mom Happy Birthday... Love & Miss you more than words can describe!!! <3

Monday night... Blah...Blah....Blah.....

Gosh today has been one of those days... nothing seemed to go right. Our puppy had surgery on his face last Thursday and as luck would have it a seroma formed and this morning it exploded... I was letting him out of his night kennel this morning to go outside and he stopped and poof... it sprayed all over... I can only imagine how it must have felt with the pressure built up to make that kind of mess... poor little guy. Anyway, I had to leave him at the vet again tonight... sure hope he gets better now that he's had all this going on.
To make things worse I am having a hard time this year with sinus issues. can't seem to get it to completely clear up. I feel pretty good for a few days and then BAM it comes right back... Why is that????
I decided I want to get a part time job... doing what I have no idea but something. I think there has to be something out there I can do. Just have no idea what that might be... All I know is being a scrub tech... love doing that but my back could never handle doing that again. I think it was the most fulfilling job anyone could ever have... and I was lucky to have done that job for 18 years. It seemed like I had just started when I left. I really miss being involved in some really amazing procedures over the course of those years. Truly amazing!!! I gave up so much for the job but I hope in the long run my family will know that I did it all for them. I wanted them to see that if you wanted to you could do anything in life. I for goodness sake went from being a nearly drop out to an honor student in college. I wanted them to see that if I worked hard they would understand they also could do the same thing and live a comfortable life with their families. I don't know if they see it as I had wanted them to but maybe someday they will.
I have been preparing for an upcoming crop in November. I have been selecting all the things I need for specific pages that I want to work on. I realized that I missed so many things. I pray that my sons understand why I worked so hard... it was all for them. They are my world... my husband is everything to me...I wanted to help him be able to give our sons the things we never had when we were growing up.
Gosh, I can see that this is going to be another night of no sleep. I have the hardest time closing my eyes... so afraid of the dark... seems like I would be over that by now... guess I will be for the rest of my life... LOL me of all people afraid of the dark... I bet there are some that would get a real kick out of that statement...I know I actually do. Until next time... have a great evening...
