Dishes...I am the dishwasher unfortunately! In fact, I have to do them now but am putting them off for a few more minutes.

Oh, you poor thing....I can't stand to wash dishes by hand! In fact when we got here to Germany and were looking for a house off base one of my stipulations was that it needed to have a dishwasher....do you know how hard it is to find a house with a dishwasher in it here in Germany.....quite hard....but we found one!!!! Yay!

I love the dasher candle...I really like the look of stamped candles....I do them some too!

[aprillower]

So I see now what goes on after I am in bed at night....lots of chatter.....it's great to see so much action going on here on the thread and on our blogs...we've been all doing great with keeping our commitment of posting once weekly...some of us even more!!!!

[mnewby]

Your sweet enough to be doing this that I would say just ink the same images for all those that want and we'll be excited with what we get.

I LOVE all the chitter chatter too. Just wanted to let you guys know that Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (one of my favs) is having a blog hop today, http://snrcardiverse.ning.com/group/sweetnsassystamps
The party is all day, today- Thursday- in the Sweet 'n Sassy Group Page so stop over if you get a chance. Super cute images!!

[traceyc0103]

Good Morning - I missed a whole bunch of chatter last night.

Kelly - Big Huge Hugs and I will be praying for your family. I know that 2010 will be the best ever for you. I can't even image what you are going through. I have been blessed with my parents being so heathly and active.

Jenny - I would love any WOJ images you would like to send my way .

[traceyc0103]

I have something I want to share with you.....

I love Pink Cat Studio stamps, have you ever checked them out? They are so stinkin' cute. This morning there was so sad news, one of the DT members 3 year old son passd away on Monday. Having a 4 year old DD this really hit me har, I can't ever image losing a child at such a young age. PCS is hosting a memorial fundraiser, please stop by and check out this cute little stamp you can pick up for just a few dollars.

[Burnham1997]

It's been a crazy week. Four co-workers have been hit with the H1N1 this week! And guess who's covering for 2 of them? Yep...me!! Can't wait to get through tomorrow & have my weekend off work.

[Burnham1997]

April - I've always wanted to visit Germany, and the main reason is kind of sad. For some reason I've always been drawn to WWII stuff, especially what happened with the camps there. I want to visit one of the camps, if they even have a way you can.

Like I said...it's a sad reason, but one I will do someday.

[mnewby]

Jennifer I don't think that is a sad reason, it's part of history.

[Avery123]

Hey ladies, here are the pics of the WOJ winter kit, http://katharina1704.blogspot.com/20...tamps-now.html

but the bottom three stamps were NOT included, but I have the ones above it! I'm going to start writing down who all wants what, because I wont have time to get at them this week, but next week should be a lot less crazy for me

[KellyLuvs2Stamp]

Hello ladies!!! It is 3:37 in the morning and I cannot sleep ... hubby is getting up every hour to change his clothes cuz he is sweating ... of course he is mumbling to me cuz he cannot find any of his "comfortable" shirts ... as if I did something with them ... lol ...
My mom let me know this afternoon that dad's surgery is scheduled for Tuesday ... I will keep you all posted ...
On a happy note ... today Kayla ... my oldest ... turns 11 ... April, do you remember that "little" girl??? ... that she is not anymore ... ... I don't know where the time went ... now that it took me forever to make the picture uploadable ... lol ... have my camera on the highest setting so it takes BIG pictures ... lol ...let me share a picture with you ladies of Kayla from Halloween this year ...
I hope you all have a good day ... I am going to try to lay back down after I throw some laundry in ... yes, at this hour ... must keep the DH happy ...

[mnewby]

Kelly Kayla is beautiful, happy 11th b-day to her. Hopefully DH being up sweating all night means he is sweating it out of his system. AND how dare you hide all of his comfy shirt. You know we do that on purpose just like the dryer eats our socks. LOL!! Now I hope your getting some more sleep this morning.

Jenny I'll make a WOJ list since everyone else is. I'm also going to shoot you some money to help cover your supplies and everyone's postage. What do you girls think about doing a WOJ challenge sometime after the new year? Oh yea speaking of challenges, I think tomorrow is the date you can start posting your challenge that Tracey gave us. Hop over to our challenge blog for more details.

Today I'm headed to a 12 hour crop. I'm so super excited!! Our mom's group does this twice a year. It is one that I'm 100% in charge of and have such a blast with it. We have 35 girls coming and will crop from 12pm-12am but I'll be headed out the door around 930am to start getting set up. When I'm not crazy busy running around doing stuff I plan to work on our Disney cruise album. Since we go to Disney again in 4 weeks I thought it would be a good idea to finish up our last trip.

Have a great day chit chatting without me.

[traceyc0103]

Good Morning and TGIF!!!

Jenny - I would love to visit Germany and take in all the history. How are you feeling after your accident last week.

Kelly - ((HUGS)) Girlfriend! It will get better. Your DD is beautiful. Thanks for sharing her picture.

Mel - Have fun at your all day crop. I am going to one on Sunday, 11/15 and can't wait.

Colleen - How is the baby?

(HUGS) to everyone else and have a great weekend.

[traceyc0103]

PS - Challenge cards can be posted 11/8 through 11/12. Mine is done and will go up on the 11th.

[Avery123]

Mel don't send me any money! I enjoy sharing, it helps justify all the buying, lol! Thanks so much for offering though

Jenny - thanks for getting those images out to us who asked. I REALLY appreciate it.

[aprillower]

It's a part of history....nothing to be sad about....yes, there are many camps that you can actually walk through and visit. It's just hard finding one that will allow you to take children in....I don't think my 5 and 2 year old have any clue what they'd be looking at. My husband is a big history buff also.

On one of our bases there is actually a building that was Hitlers and they tell the story of him upstairs on the top floor walking back and forth keeping watch out the windows....it's creepy to stand outside of the building thinking about him up there doing that.

They've been able to really preseve their history here. It's amazing!

[aprillower]

I'm hoping to work on my challenge card tonight and finish up my Riley cards for Tracey's swap!

Jenny I too would love some images...I feel bad asking now that you have such a long list of gals that are wanting some. And yes....we will find a way to send you some postage...especially since you are sending to quite a few of us from Canada!!!!

Kelly it's hard to believe that the last time I saw Kayla she was like 5. She's growing up to be quite the beauty! Don't let her ever think anything different!!!!

This weekend should be a laid back one...just some cleaning and grocery shopping.

Today when I was at the store I ran into another FD (fire dept) spouse who informed me of 3 christmas parties between the 11th and 18th of Dec. That's just work functions...not including personal ones.

[Avery123]

Ok so I'm sending images to:

Jennifer,
Melina,
Tracey,
April and
Melanie.
Did I miss anyone? Let me know if anyone else wants some, I'll stamps away next week sometime, after the big blog hop is behind me, lol.

And seriously ladies if you want some, don't worry about asking, stamping is fun, I enjoy doing it, so it's no trouble

[rhoshoun]

WOW!! This has been a crazy busy week and I am sooooo glad it is over *sigh* I will not be online this weekend so I wanted to stop by and checking and see what everyone has been up to. Oh I almost forgOt thanks Ann Marie for the lovely birthday card I loved it !! Anyway have a great weekend I will get back with you ladies on Monday

[mepylant]

Hi Tracey! She's doing good. I think we're finally getting her on a schedule and working through her fussiness. Today and yesterday were much better. We had to get a sling and that seems to help, but it's hard to get stuff done! I was so blessed to have a friend come by today and help clean my house

[KellyLuvs2Stamp]

Thanks ladies!!! I think Kayla is beautiful too!!! She doesn't think so ... she has her mother's self esteem!!!

Her birthday sucked for her ... she ended up spending the night at her friends house though ... cuz we had to take Kirstin to the base clinic last night ... she had strep 2 weeks ago ... which I thought went away ... well at school yesterday she was complaining of a sore throat, headache and muscle aches ... did not want to take any chances with Steven have H1N1 ... so off we went ... the Dr. said her strep never went away cuz the other clinic we brought her to 2 weeks ago did not give her the right dose of antibiotics .... sooooooooooo they shot her in the but with some and put her on zithromax ... poor kid ... they said that if the strep doesn't get taken care of it can go to her heart and cause problems ... soooooo glad we brought her back ...

I still have my fingers crossed that I do not get sick ... my dads surgery is Tuesday ... and I really need to be there ...

Well, I am off to the Holly Day Fair (wooohoooo) and to brave JCPenney for jeans for the girls ... April, wish you were here to join me!!!

Stamping hugs!!!

[Burnham1997]

Hi! I barely made it through work yesterday, and now find myself with a horrible cold. It seems to be in my throat & nose. I'm stuffed up & my throat is swollen & very sore.

At least I feel grateful I didn't get the H1N1 from all those co-workers (6 now) that got it last week!

[amsmiles]

Good morning!

Heading to my son's soccer game this morning and then a bday party this evening! Anyone have any fun weekend plans?

I sooooo wish I was going with one of you to the scrapping days!

Hello gals, my crop was so much fun. I have two more pages to complete in our Disney Cruise album and then it'll be completed. Super excited!! I'm hoping to wrap it up tomorrow. Today I spent the day cleaning before I put all my crafting supplies back into place. I adore my dog but he creates so much extra house work for me. With it being a rainy fall he had little mud paw prints all through our house. It was driving me insane. We have hardwoods every where in our house. I have been hand scrubbing them ALL once a week and doing the swifter deal in between.

ANYWAY, I completed 24 pages at my crop yesterday and can not wait to share a few of the pages on my blog. I'll have a blog post tomorrow with a few of the pages.

It has taken me about 3 hours to get caught up on my emails and such. It's now past midnight and I need to get my butt in bed.

Hugs and chat with you tomorrow.

[KellyLuvs2Stamp]

Well, I now know why my CCSS did not get her card ... ... It came back to me ... in a plastic bag ... 1/2 the envelope ripped off ... why oh why do I not listen when people tell me to put something over the front if you have a LOT of "bling" on it when you mail it??? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO kicking myself right now ... Well, my dear little sis ... I am very sorry ... even though you do not know who I am ... LOL ...

With Leila she was very colicy and she was not easy to satisfy. Honestly...my hubby would hold her walking circles from our kitchen, living room, and hallway for hours on end. The only other thing that worked for her was the swing...I hated to use it so much....so much in fact that I bought a second one for upstairs....but it worked for her and kept her from fussing SOOOOOOOOOO much. She was six months till she was past it....it was a very trying six months to say the least!!!!

[aprillower]

I'm getting ready to sit and do my challenge card....after grocery shopping it has become a lazy day. Jodus is watching Thomas the Train....my hubby is napping (go figure) and Leila is also napping so I actually have a bit of free/quiet time to get a few things accomplished!

[mnewby]

Hello gals, just got home and settled in from church. The kiddos are both fed, Mitch is playing outside (he loves our new fenced in yard), Marshall is playing with his Handy Manny tool box and I thought I would get ready to get my next swap together that I'm working on. My challenge card is done but I'm going to wait a few days to put it up so it does not get lost on my blog. I'll probably post it on Tuesday.

That would be so frustrating! Thankfully she grew out of it! It had been long enough between my two I think I forgot how much work babies are
