I am in the process up ....let's call it...."updating" my office. I am not cleaning, rearraning, organizing, I have used all those words in the past. This time, I am updating the room. I am attempting to make it more functional, attractive, and comfortable. I was actually thinking about purchasing more of those handy dandy clear drawers, but when I looked at what I had, I realized I had enough, I just needed to use them differently. I am really enjoying the changes I have made and I plan to take some pictures when I am done to share with you all. I know I love to see craft rooms and how they are set up and decorated, so I'm assuming you all do too!

This little clock is a new addition to my office. I ordered the blank clock from OTC for around $7 I think. I thought I was getting three of them, since the order set Unit = 3.... but no, they counted each hand of the clock as a part. Yeah. whatever.... So, I finally got around to personalizing it today. I used some basic grey paper I picked up at the scrap expo and wiped the edges with my new powder puff pads (these are awesome) and then glued it down using Perfect Paper adhesive (because it was on my desk). Then I used chip board words that all came in a kit from K&Co. I picked that up at the expo as well. What can I say? It was on sale and it came in the cutest little tin with a cute handles.....okay, so who isn't a sucker for cute packaging??? Anyway, I loved all the words. I decided this is a great little "goal" clock. All the words I used are things I hope I work on each day. Areas I would like to improve on in my life. I did add some stamping in the corners with the Carte Postale set from SU. It is retired....but I still love it!

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
