New Blogs

I have been blog surfing again... {sigh}
I have found some FABULOUS stuff.

I know I'm supposed to be losing weight.
Thus this isn't the blog to be looking at.
But I have always enjoyed cooking and there are some GOOD stuff here

BAKERELLA

Now I have also been looking for a place
to find some quick fixins for the boys
With mom in school and working fulltime
Mac & Cheese and Hotdogs isn't very appetizing anymore.

Thus I stumbled on

Simplify Supper

It is great, a monthplan for dinners

And now that LDS General Conference is right around the corner

I have been looking for some activites

That my little ones (and even the bigger one)

Can do during the talks.

Thus I stumbled on

SugarDoodle

This site is great for many things

It also has links to other great ideas for LDS items.

Another great blog helper is

Leelou Blogs

You can get great layouts from this site.

I recommend that you check often!!

So spend sometime this weekend blog hopping...

Bags, bags & more ...

I haven't been lost lately, just a little busy.

When you are a mom, an employee, and a student, sometimes you forget about just being you. So here are some of the things that have happened recently.

I received my bag from Linda's Bag Swap.

It came from Beth at Highland Hen.

It is perfect!!!!

I am already using it for the Angel Stitching project.

She also sent some fun fabrics that will probably work well for the Christmas Cottage block exchange that I have joined.

Here was the fun!!

NOW a new BAG!

With all the fun bag patterns and blog postings about bags I decided to try another one. (I forgot to take a picture of my bag that I sent to a far away place... Hopefully she will like it!! )

I loved the bag that was posted in Quilts & More.

What a quick bag to make - and so versatile!!

Now I haven't been quilting - want to see why???

Every time I sit down to quilt, I have a helper.

A new Swap!

I have joined the Christmas Cottage Swap.

It looks like it will be fun.

12 Blocks from all over with little Christmas houses.

Such fun!

Starting Again, Motivation PLEASE!

I'm at it again...
School that is
I took a couple of month break
and now I'm back at it!
I will hopefully finish by May 2009

GO AGGIES!

Now I need some additional motivation!

I have still been working out but not near like I need to.

I need to recommit myself to working out.

So I am going to post daily if I worked out or not.

I guess I just wanted the fat to melt away and it's not happening.

Maybe I need more water!

There is a great giveaway posted on Jo Anne's blog.

It is her 100th post AND she has now opened an Etsy store!!

She is using the money from her Etsy store to support her son on him mission to Uganda.

Check out her store!!

I am also planning another quilting retreat...

It will be so much fun.

I can't decide if we will exchange blocks again or not.

I would love to hear your suggestions on what to exchange...

blocks, pincushions, bags, etc...

Give me some good ideas!!

C-Ya soon!

What do you...

So I've been thinking lately about "what do you..." as I seem to get asked this question a lot from my children.

The first one is "What do you do at work mommy?" Well, I have come to the realization that I am a people mover, no not in the normal since, but my job is to make sure that we have enough people staffed to handle our call volume and email volume from FamilySearch.org website. Thus I'm a people mover, along with a business analyst, and many other big people words.

Another one I get is "What do you see??"

Well on my way to and from work I see these...

Aren't they goregous!!
It is so pleasing to see these things all around me.
The gardens at Temple Square are kept in full bloom all summer long - I am very jealous as my yard has some grass and a lot of dirt, but nothing near as pretty!
At this time of year the busy worker bees are hanging the Christmas lights. It is an amazing process to watch!!

Another one..."What do you do with all that fabric??" These are some on my To Do list ....

Now the question is to you...." What do you..."

Another notch down & A great weekend & Missing eyebrows

I will warn you now... There is NO quilting in this post. Quilting has been on the back burner for a day, or week or so but...

We had a great weekend - I know that it is Thursday that I am writing this so you say I should be preparing for the next weekend, well I am, but I have to throw in some stuff from this last weekend.

Another notch down... Yes that's right. I had to start using a notch down in my belt. That is great progress. I'm really starting to feel much better when I work out and have learned to push myself even more.

My Hubby's family all got together and played at Bear Lake, then had a hotdog roast, followed by a wonderful time at Church blessing a new grandbaby, and finally my husband and I escaped for the Holiday to celebrate our 13th anniversary. I really can't believe that I have been married 13 years. It hasn't always been perfect, we have definitely had ups and downs, but we are making it. Each day we try a little harder to show our love for each other. He is a blessing in my life that sometimes I take for granted!! But I know I will grow old with him as we continue to cherish each other.

Now that was

SAPPY!

Here are some pictures of this great weekend that we had.

Missing Eyebrows -

I imagine you are wondering what on earth could have happened for someone to have missing eyebrows.

Well, about a year ago my innocent 4 year old decided to get in the shower with his older brother. This brother is older by 8 years, quite an age difference. When they where in the shower the younger brother decided to shave half of his older brothers eyebrow off. It was hilarious. I laughed so hard I had a belly ache and could hardly tell others about it as it brought on laughter. I couldn't believe that this happened.

When we where roasting hotdogs this weekend the older one asked if we noticed anything different about the younger one this time. I hadn't noticed anything. I guess that the same scenario happened again, except this time the older shaved BOTH eyebrows off the younger. I was at a loss of words!!! He told us it was revenge. I tried to explain that revenge only happens when the other individual understands.... His younger brother just laughed - and asked when they would grow back.

The joys motherhood brings..... I love my boyz!!
