It's finally Friday!

Oh, I'm so happy that it's Friday! It's a teacher workday and payday too! LOL!

I'm getting so excited about London. I'm leaving in one week! Tonight I pulled the suitcase out of the closet so that I could start throwing stuff in it this weekend. If you could see the way I pack you would know that I mean literally---THROW stuff in it. LOL!

Thank goodness for insurance! Today I received a detailed bill for my hospital stay. Remember, it's just the hospital and not the individual doctor bills and other things that I'll get charged for. This bill was for 64 thousand dollars. OUCH! I just don't know how people without insurance do it. Luckily, I'll just have to meet the deductible.

I made a quick layout using papers from April's New Home Kit. Aren't these papers just the best?



Here's a preview of the full kit that available at ScrapitSassy



If you would like to pick up an adorable mini kit go visit Shel Belle Scraps! Here's a preview of the kit she posted on her blog Wednesday. The colors are awesome!



It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!

Oh man, am I tired!

I just can't wait to feel like I'm back at 100% again. Right now, it feels like I take two steps forward and one step backward. Of course, being a kindergarten teacher doesn't really help very much. Lots of the kids are still fighting colds themselves.

I took a little more time to play today after my nap. LOL! Here's another layout I made using April's Fishing With Dad Kit. I'm having fun playing with these graphics! They're great for getting your creative spark back.



Thursday is the last day of school with kids for the week. Friday is a teacher workday. I'm excited about Friday! LOL! I'm still playing catch up at school and need the time in my classroom.

I'm still undecided if I'll be sleeping through this weekend like I did the last one. Right now, there is a forcast for lots and lots of sleep. Speaking of which, I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

A request

I feel really bad about just getting this WA request out. I received it before I went into the hospital and just never got to it. So, Lauren, I am really, really sorry and I hope that you can still use it for your project.

The last two days have been really stressful for me. There's just so much going on and I'm still not back to 100%. Tonight I even had a nose bleed. What's that all about?

The good news is that I am going to London in only 9 days!!! I am so excited! Now I just have to get packed, survived the next 9 days and get there.

I treated myself to a massage today. It was very relaxing and I needed it. LOL! Wish I could treat myself like that more often. Sometimes, it's good to pamper yourself!

I decided to let some things sit and play around with April's Fishing With Dad Kit. Here's a quick layout I made...



I just love April's kits!

I've also got one more layout using Flower Scraps portion of the Fairy Tale Blog Train to show you...



If you haven't jumped on this blog train yet, make sure you visit Deanna at Flower Scraps to pick up all the wonderful and free goodies!

It feels so good to play around with the kits again! I'm sure that's part of what is making me feel better. Now, if I could just play at work so that things wouldn't be so stressful there. LOL!

I'm going to sleep now. Enjoy your day.

You just gotta laugh!

So, just in case there was any question---it's official---I have the worse haircut ever! LOL! The same girls that were throwing me a welcome back breakfast just four days ago were pointing and laughing today. I just love my friends. LOL!

The good news is that I only napped for about an hour when I got home today. I'm getting stronger everyday cause I have napped longer than that when I wasn't sick. LOL!

Did you remember to visit Flower Scraps today for the the beginning of the Fairy Tale Blog Train? I visited all of the blogs and picked everything up. There are some really cute things available! Lots of the designers are releasing things in parts so you'll want to visit them more than once.

Here's another layout I made using Flower Scraps portion of the blog train...



OK, I've got to go to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Another weekend is over

It's amazing how fast the weekend goes when you pretty much sleep through it. LOL! There are four school days and one teacher workday this week so hopefully, I'll be able to make it through with no problem. I've got so much to do that I really need that workday on Friday!

Have you visited Aimee Asher lately? Tammy DeYoung has re-released an Easter set from last year that is just adorable. Of course, I'm very partial to this set. LOL! Here's the preview for you to see...



Notice my name? That's only part of the reason I like love this set. The awesome graphics are the other reason.

I didn't play around as much as I had wanted to this weekend. I did make a SOE candy wrapper for you using April's Fishing With Dad Kit. It's such a great kit! Perfect for those weekend fishing trips! Sorry I don't have a sample put together for you, for here's a preview of what the wrapper looks like. The back is blank so you can add your own information.

Make sure you visit Deanna at Flower Scraps today! She is releasing a new kit on her blog called Fairy Tale Wedding and it is part of a wonderful blog train. The colors are amazing! Here's a preview of Deanna's part for you to see...



Here's a layout I made using just a small part of Deanna's contribution.



I can't wait to get the rest of the kit from the blog train!

OK, it's way past my bedtime and I've got a long day ahead of me. Enjoy your day!

Oh goodness!

Ok, so I learned a very valuable lesson today. NEVER, EVER, NEVER, cancel your haircut appointment at the last minute. Because I just wasn't up to going for my haircut yesterday I ended up getting a cut from someone that has never cut my hair before. I am now the proud owner of a new and very bad haircut. LOL! Hopefully, it will look semi-normal before I leave for London in 13 days. If not, they may not allow me into their country. LOL! Who knew that getting a simple trim could be so difficult. I have a whole new appreciation for the girl who normally cuts my hair!

The funny thing about spending 10 days in the hospital is that you forget just how bad the traffic is around here. I ventured out today and got a big reminder! Spring break is in full force around here so there are college kids everywhere. That means more people on the road with no idea where they're actually going. Lots of putting on brakes for no reason and driving with a turn signal on when there is no place to turn. LOL!

After the bad haircut and traffic I was more than ready for today's nap. LOL! I wonder what kind of trouble I can get into tomorrow? LOL!

Happy Spring!

So, who knew that working for two days would be so tiring? LOL! I sure didn't! I do feel myself getting stronger again and today was a much easier day than yesterday was.

I managed to only take a short nap when I got home today. Of course, the bed is calling me now.

I had an appointment for a haircut today, but I called and got it put off until tomorrow. Getting a haircut will be tomorrow's big adventure. Haircut and nap time. Sounds like a plan for a fun weekend! LOL!

Thanks again for all the kind words and well wishes. You will never know just how much they mean to me.

Enjoy your weekend. Have some fun for me!
