Beautiful Day

I can't even begin to tell you how beautiful this day was! I went to a party today for a friends daughter. She had her Sweet 16. It wasn't as big or outrageous as the parties you see on MTV, but it was pretty close. She was happy and he was proud and a good time was had by all. She was given a day that she will never forget and I guess that's all that matters.

I actually put this wordart together a while back, but today seems like a good time to post it. So, you can pick it up here.

I did it!

I paid to ride in the express lane this morning. It costs me 25 cents. LOL! They've been working on adding the express lanes to southbound 95. Meanwhile, the traffic is a mess. Today it was awful! I would have gladly paid $6.25 or even $625to use express lanes on the way home today. LOL!

Here's the link to today's wordart. Hope someone can use it. Enjoy your weekend!

The end of the week is here!

The week is ending and the weather is warming back up! Thank goodness!

I've been busy making wrappers for the husband of a friend of mine to give to his patients. Here's a simple one I made using April's Winter Wonderland Kit Remember, she's still got that awesome sell going on!



You can download this wrapper here. Minus Kenny's name, of course. By the way, if you happen to be one of his patients, would you please act like you've never seen this? LOL!

Today's wordart was made after my friend, Denise, took her daughter shopping last weekend and did her very best to save the economy. LOL! You can download it here

I'm going to bed now. Yes, I'm still fighting that cold and I think the cold is winning. Enjoy your Friday!

Still Cold

I'm telling you, we've already had more cold days this year then we had all last winter and it's just the beginning of December. We broke out the hot chocolate at school again today. I'm just making a quick post now so that I can give you Thursday's wordart andgo to bed. It's an early night for me, but I am tired!

I did want to show you another page I made using a mixture of papers from April the Scrapaholic's Thanksgining & Christmas kits. If you want the wordart you can still pick it up here



Now, here's today's wordart. I thought it might be cute for any Christmas messes you have to scrap. Last year, my friend's tree fell over twice. LOL!

Long Day

So I got home after a LONG day at work. The express lanes were closed this morning so I lost one of the four remaining free days I was supposed to have. The weather was yucky and I'm fighting a cold. I checked my email and found something to make me smile. You have got to look at this layout Audrey made! How can you not smile when you see that picture? Everyone sitting around with their own computer! I think they really are a normal family!


Audrey said she used paper by twinchies. If someone can point me in that direction, I would appreciate it! If you missed this wordart and would still like to get it you can pick it up here

I tried playing with April's new kits tonight. Just remember that I'm taking cold medicine. LOL! Here's what I came up with...





Her kits are awesome and you can click on the previews below to go check them out. Remember she's having a sell!





OK, I've got to go to bed or I'll never get up in the morning! I've got two goodies for you! They're both in the same zip file so you can use both or go with which ever one you're in the mood for. LOL!

To pay or not to pay?

Well, I found my car this morning and survived another Monday. The weather is taking another cold turn and it's supposed to drop into the 50's tonight. YUCK!

Here's my dilemma---Do I pay to drive in the express lanes on the interstate or not? Milage wise it's better for me to drive up Collins Avenue to get to work every morning, but time wise it's much faster to take the interstate. On Collins, I have a slower speed limit and lots of stoplights. On the interstate, I have lots of traffic and if there's an accident forget about getting anywhere.

Last summer, Dade County opened up express lanes on the interstate. Those lanes have come in handy in the mornings! Starting Friday, you will have to pay to drive in those lanes and the amount you will pay depends on the amount of traffic at the time. It may cost as little as a quarter or as much as $6.00.

Now, I do have the advantage of going in the opposite direction of most traffic. In the mornigs I head north while most people are heading south and in the afternoons I'm coming south while the heavier traffic is heading south. But, if you've ever driven on Interstate 95 in Dade County, you know that even if you're going in the opposite direction of the heavier traffic---you're still in heavy traffic. LOL!

Now, I've spent the last five months using the express lanes for free and it's been really nice! I've gotten used to it, but I just don't know if I really want to pay money to go to work. What do you think?

OK, enough about that! Here's today's wordart. Again, there is no special reason for this. I just like it! Click here to download.

I'm off to take a shower now. Have a great day!

I should be sleeping!

It's always so hard to get back on schedule after having time off from work. By the time I get back on schedule the weekend will be here and I'll be staying up late again. LOL!

The rain finally came and boy did it rain hard! Now, Let's hope it helped to clean my car a little. It's supposed to rain more today. I really hope we'll be able to take the kids outside. Mondays are bad enough as it is, not being able to let them outside for awhile makes it a very long day!

Today was the last day of hurricane season. I'm glad we didn't have a storm here, but I could have used more than two days off from school because of the weather. We don't get snow here. LOL!

Talk about snow! Toby sent me this photo of her standing on her back porch in Canada. Anyone want to volunteer to go help her shovel snow? LOL! I wonder how many days of school we would get off if it snowed like that in Miami!



I scrapped the picture using April's Winter Wonderland Kit. It's an awesome kit and it's on sell! Just check out this preview...



By the way, April is the featured designer at Scrap It Sassy! Go check out her store there. She's got an awesome sell going on and you don't want to miss it!



There's no special reason for today's wordart. I just liked it. LOL! You can pick it up here

Now, I'm off to force myself to get some sleep. Have a great day!
