Our Honeymoon!
In honor of our 1 year, 1 month and 1 day wedding anniversary, I have decided to finally take advantage of my Flickr account and upload honeymoon photos! All of the photos I have uploaded today are from the first day of our honeymoon. We flew from Houston to London, took the train [...]
Stamping Goodness!
Yesterday I received my new 2005-2006 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book in the mail, and I LOVE IT!!! I love the new colors they have introduced along with the 120+ new stamp sets, and I was so excited when I went to the site earlier today to place my customer’s last minute retiring orders and [...]
Flickr Montager…
Playing with the Flickr Montager is a lot of fun.
Yes, I have other things I need to be doing. Back to work. And posts to write later. But for now, I’m playing with the Flickr Montager. It’s all MJ’s fault.
Fine, some of you might not enjoy playing with the Montager as [...]
Mullets Rock!
Home Again, Home Again…
We had a great time in Kentucky, but after being gone for almost two weeks (counting my retreat and the trip to New Orleans), it feels so nice to be home again.
Well, nice and frustrating, because I’ve decided that I want to rearrange the storage bedroom into my crafty room so that the dining room [...]
New Orleans Recap…
Sunday morning, I left the Mom’s retreat early to head home, take the dirty clothes out of my suitcase, put clean clothes into my suitcase, and then we were back out the door and on the road by 1:00 pm, heading east to New Orleans. It was a good day for the drive, and [...]

Starting Our Vacation…
Whew! The next two weeks are going to be quite a whirlwind!
We had planned some time ago to go to Kentucky to visit Mike’s parents this summer. I’ve never been, so I’m really excited! I’m sure it is going to be beautiful there. Plus there is a farm that sells the [...]
Spamination…
I’ve been on a cleaning mission today, which included clearing out my e-mail and the blog comment spam. Spam can be so amusing sometimes. I received an e-mail with the subject line of “absolutely last mortgage spam EVER!” Uhm, right. I appreciate the honesty though, admitting that it is spam.
Then going [...]
Spinning a Web…
Ok, ok, so on my SP5 survey I said I was going to start some socks. Then, somewhere on Saturday, I started looking at the Koigu. It was longing. Waiting. Ready. And so I did it – I started my Charlotte’s Web shawl. I just transitioned from color number [...]
The Yarn Survey…
I’m participating in the Secret Pal 5 exchange, so to help my Secret Pal out, here are my responses to the survey:
1. Are you a yarn snob (do you prefer higher quality and/or natural fibers)? Do you avoid Red Heart and Lion Brand? Or is it all the same to you?
I was informed today by [...]
The First Dance…
We got the DVD of the “print-ready” photographs from our wedding photographer when we arrived home from our anniversary trip to Galveston. As I went through the images, this one jumped out at me. Somehow I had overlooked it before, but tonight it caught my eye. I love the moment that it [...]
Mom’s fluffy scarf! Plymouth Yarn “Parrot” in color #4. Hand wash, dry flat. 2 skiens used, along with an eyelash yarn, knit with a US 17 needle. Started the first 5-10 rows a few weeks ago, did the majority of the work on it today. Fast knit, took just 2-3 hours.

50 Fun Things To Do With Your iPod (kottke.org)
I love my iPod. I love that thanks to the photo iPod, I have room to store 60gb of music, which is our entire music collection and then some. Mike is very jealous of my room, because the 20gb iPod won’t cut it once you add in Podcasts. Oops. I would [...]
