Fun Thing I Found on the Web:

Wasting My Time...

My meeting got cancelled so I decided to pop in here and blog my last card following the last SCS SC...

Positive note of the day: Been mouthy at work about what my team will and will not do. Turns out that people will respect some limits so long as you set them!

Fun Thing I Found on the Web:

Puppy Love...

I had these Sweet Threads DP out so I decided to keep playing with it and create a valentine for one of my girls...

Positive note of the day: Ave and I made cookies tonight...she was so giddy and ate two before bed!

Flower Girlie!

I just love how this scrap page of Ave came together. Last summer she was all about investigating the neighbours' yards and smelling their flowers. All this in combination with BG's Sweet Threads makes such a pretty page!

P.S. Winner of my blog candy was #18!  Monika/Buzsy, as a long-time PSF, I have your deets already!

Positive note of the day: Cleaned up my scrappy area some more. Still needs more work to be done...

Masculine Nordic Holiday

This was Brad's Christmas card this year. Tres masculin, n'est pas? And in the great holiday paper, Nordic Holiday by BG.

Positive note of the day: Made it to the accountant today so I can at last get my finances worked out as my own corporation...that was taxing my brain! (Aren't I punny?)
 

Fun Thing I Found on the Web:

"Ya know, when I was 25 and got an erection, I couldn't bend it with both hands..

By the time I was 50, I could bend it about 10 degrees if I tried real hard.

By the time I was 60, I could bend it 20 degrees, no problem.

I'm gonna be 70 next week, and I can bend it in half with just one hand."

"So, what's your point?"

"Well, I'm just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get!?"
