So Ready for the Weekend!

My Cuttlebug is in!  I am so excited.  My husband is picking it up today and having the kids wrap it and give it to me on Saturday.  We are going out for dinner for my birthday and then coming home for cake.  I can't wait!!!!  And last night I saw the Michael's ad for next week and the Cuttlebug stuff is on sale, 40% off, woohoo!  Going shopping next week. :)

This weekend we are digging the Halloween decorations out of the attic.  We are a little behind with our decorating this year but it probably was for the best.  We always put together a cemetery in our front yard and last week we had 50 mph winds.  Our cemetery would have been demolished.  I'll post some pics once we are done.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Update...

Well it has been a crazy week since I was last on my blog.  Here is a little update....

Skunk - the skunk is gone :)  It appears he was not living under our shed but was just hanging around our yard.  He has been trapped and is now off to a better place.

Speaking of better places...my best friend growing up her mother has passed on.  She had been sick for many many years. This past year she has been unable to walk and has spent most of the year in and out of the hospital.  She took a drastic turn for the worse a couple weeks ago. And the doctors said there was nothing left they could do.  She passed away last Tuesday.  Her service was over the weekend.  It was nice to see my friend and her family again as we haven't seen each other in over 10 years but very sad as her mom was like a second mom to me.  But I know she is feeling much better now and running around like crazy up in heaven!  God Bless you Mrs. H.

This past weekend was also my birthday and a family reunion.  And believe it or not I actually had some time to craft.  I made a few birthday cards for family and friends who also share an October birthday with me.  Here are the cards I made....

For my birthday my kids and husband bought me a Cuttlebug.  Well, I have a picture of the Cuttlebug...the store was out of them so they are waiting for it to be delivered but just knowing it's coming has me so excited.  I've seen so many people using it on their crafts and I love how the pictures turn out with the embossing.  Even as I look at the pictures above I can't help but think how nice the background would look if it was embossed.  I can't wait for my Cuttlebug to arrive!

I think that's it for my update.  I can't think of anything else.  Hope everyone has a great rest of the day! 

Talk to you soon!

To My Other Mom

 

 

Sadly missed along life's way,

quietly remembered every day...

No longer in our life to share,

but in our hearts, you're always there

Skunked!

I was so looking forward to the weekend...Well my Friday did not end as good as expected. Our dog got skunked.  And I didn't realize he was skunked until he came into the house. If you've ever had to deal with a skunked dog it is not fun. I bathed him right away but it was too late the smell was in the house...UGH!  So I spent all weekend washing everything, spraying Febreeze, and burning candles.  We were out of the house most of the weekend for softball so the limited amount of time I had at home was non-stop cleaning.  I just have to say I hate skunks.

And to add to it...my husband thinks the skunk is living under our shed and he came out the same time the dog was outside.  So now we are trying to find out if it is living under the shed and trying to get rid of it.  He blocked up the holes Saturday night so hopefully that does it.  But for now I am taking the dog out front before bed so he doesn't get skunked again.

I need a weekend to recuperate from my weekend. :)
