4/15/09-Are your taxes done?

Look what I got in the mail today!! From one of my cyber friends. She also made the card below. The picture really doesn't do it justice. This card is beautiful. I was so wowed by it.

So I hope everyone has there taxes done! We got ours back from the accountant yesterday (I was getting a little nervous since I dropped them off the beginning of March) and Jeff took them to the post office today!!!

For those of you who don't know. Jeff is running the Boston Marathon Monday (it's a holiday in Boston on Monday it's Patriots Day). So he flies out on Sat. and won't be back till Tuesday. You can track him on :

http://www.universalsports.com/

This is the first year for me to track him on this website so I'm not sure how this will work.

Then I leave on Friday for my retreat and won't be back till Sunday afternoon. The following weekend we are going camping. (You can tell the weather is changing-busy busy).

Also I have started running. This is my 3rd week and I am gradually working my way into it. I walk a little, run a little and walk and if I feel good I run longer. I have a training schedule I use and I am slowing working into running. I feel great, my cardio is getting so much better, and I am losing weight. I know I know your saying I don't need to but I would like to lose 10 pounds before summer. I do feel really great though. I still can't fit into those old jeans yet but maybe.

Everyone have a great week. And hopefully I'll post some more soon.!

2/17-I'm on a roll

So here

is a layout I wanted to do for awhile but I just couldn't figure out what paper Shannon Buck had used. So I kind of just came up with my own. I'm happy with it, now I just need to find some pictures to put on it.

2/16-MONDAY AGAIN

So here is another week of 365 that I did. I chose not to buy the package or more sleeves for my 365 project so I kind of made my own. The pages are all set I just have to put the pictures where ever I want and then journal.

Have a good week everyone!

2/15/09-Finally. . .

I'm getting around to posting something. Things have just been crazy. Jeff hurt his back the beginning of January so I've been busy doing everything-cooking, cleaning, shoveling, loading the pellet stove, just things that I take for granted that he sometimes does.

Here are my pages for the 365 project. I really haven't done much scrapping and I keep forgetting to take my pictures. For the next few days I will be posting my 365 pages and some layouts I've been trying to do.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines day. Back to work tomorrow!!!

1/20/08-Inaugaration Day

So my retreat went really well. We all thought we were going to freeze never expected so much snow though. Yes, we got more snow. Holy cats did we get snow. Below is the grounds keeper snow blowing the snow away from our cabin. You can't really tell but there was at least 6-8 inches of snow that fell Saturday night. Then we got more Sunday afternoon. Some fell today but not much.

The top picture is our current snow fall. I know I keep posting the same place but then you can tell how much snow we have gotten. TOO MUCH!! I took the kids sled riding yesterday. We had a blast, till my feet got cold. The snow was knee deep where there wasn't any paths. (which would be between 16-18 inches of snow). The roads were awful again today. Icy. Hopefully tomorrow they won't be bad. I am so tired of driving on black ice.

I will post my layouts that I did later. For now you can thank God you don't live in Pennsylvania. Enjoy the pictures.
