Braces, Blog Train and Freebie

I'm here again, wow twice in a month I'm on a roll, lol. Not much to say really just the daily pieces of life.

The braces on B~man are working wonders though. His front teeth are even! I mean they are in line with the other teeth instead of being all wonky. Can't believe how fast they have worked so far. We are hoping for the bottom braces on the next visit in March. Although that is going to depend on if his lordship has shaped up with the brushing. Yep I got hauled in at the last visit as sir has not being what he was supposed to with regards to brushing. I sat there seething (at the boy) as we have had all out war about this and I informed the orthodontist of this. Let's just say he is in jeopardy of treatment stopping...............goodbye $1000 I have already invested *sigh*. I didn't know whether to cry or leave him there. I'm hoping the message got through, so far so good at home (it's only been a week but better than nothing). The iPod Touch was taken away, the new shoes he 'just had to have' sat in the box in the living room for a week (funny as he put them on every night and stared longingly at them) and the biggy.............if the braces have to come off due to lack of proper care he can kiss hockey goodbye. Yep, I did it, told him that come registration in May I would not be forking over the fee for him to play if he didn't shape up and to consider it repayment for what I wasted on his mouth. Think that got his attention. It's not like his dad would pay as I'm still waiting for his portion from LAST year but that's a whole other subject. Ahhhh the joys of owning a pre-teen, now I know why my mother laughs at me.

On the scrapping front both of my fave places have things going on. Scrap Orchard is a stop on the ADSR again this year. I'm not sure which stop yet but I will post it once I have a for sure date. The challenges are awesome as usual and there is the charity kit, One Love that is screaming gorgeousness.
Sunshine Studio Scraps has undergone a change, a big change and we are working real hard behind the scenes to make it sunny again. There is a gorgeous grab bag, Lovers Walk with guests Flergs, Michelle Batton, and Sugarplum Paperie contributing and yesterday was a good old fashioned blog train that started on Flergs' blog.


I looked through my folder of 'kits in the works' and found this one that was all done just needed a preview. So here it is for the taking. I hope you enjoy it and if you happened to create something with it please link me up and show me, I'd love to see it!! You can click on the image to download or below.

That's all for now, have a good one!!

Where oh Where Have I Been?

Well so much for being more diligent at maintaining my blog! It's been sitting here half finished waiting to take Christmas down, and finally I got to it.
*Note to self--do not do a theme again.
Not much happening in real life..........well that would be a bit of a fib as I have had some excitement but not the good kind and we'll just leave it there. Let's just say it involves a certain someone who I no longer live with.
B~man is in the midst of playoffs for hockey and they are doing really well. They won the first game 5-0, second game was 5-0, third game was 2-0 and yesterday was 2-1. B~man is doing well in the scoring department also, with 5 goals, 4 assists and I of course have to mention this for him, 1 penalty.
All Things Scrappy........
I'm hoping to get a couple of templates finished and I may try my hand at some Valentine's Cards. That is if there is anyone out there who still comes to my blog (think there were 2 of you and I am grateful for you, lol).

Scrap Orchard is having an awesome sale from February 8th-14th..........I'm talking 30% off
*except Grab Bags and CU items.
It is also Sunny Sunday over at Sunshine Studio Scraps where you can get your hands on some fine designs for an awesome price!
I'm off to hopefully get something done.........................as in laundrey etc.

Another Day.....Another Freebie........Plus Other Ramblings

More Snow!!

We are going to have a true White Christmas this year and I am so excited. For the first time in I don't know how long we have a good old fashioned lots of snow Christmas.

B~man went sledding today with my brother and his girls, they had a blast and came back here for some hot chocolate and cookies.

I stayed here because the dryer I wasn't anticipating buying was set to arrive and of course it did, just before my brother came. The delivery men brought my other one upstairs and put it outside for me and I called the used appliance guy to come and pick it up.............well I looked outside at 9 PM and it's still sitting there!! So much for wanting it to fix and sell to someone else. But more than that I have a freaking drying sitting out front of my place......and at Christmas too!!

Shopping done--Presents and Food for Holidays

All my shopping is done, has been for a few days. Just not wrapped, I wasn't in the mood.....better get myself moving considering what day it is. I can't wait to see B~man's face when he opens the Wii, he wanted one last year but it just couldn't be done. He's had a heck of a year in terms of life changing events and handled it all with a smile and his usual heart of gold. I was glad I could do this for him.

Food shopping is done also. My Christmas baking was compliments of the Culinary Arts class at the High School in the town I work in, LOL. Mom has the turkey, my job was to buy veggies and the wine............easy done.
