It was a Merry Christmas.......until.....

Well, it happened, I almost expected it...my computer crashed Christmas morning...hubby was reading email and he got the blue screen of death.....so something is very wrong......thank God I have a lap top, but until I figure out how to put pics on this computer, there will be no blogging....but I will work on it and as computer ignorant as Iam it cant be that hard, can it?????
In the meantime, run on over to Chelseys blog and check out what she got for Christmas....Im now a puppy granny, and they are adorable....
We had an amazing Christmas, only thing missing was my oldest......I miss you Tracey, thanks for the awesome gifts!!!!
ok, I will work on the picture thing and hopefully figure it out in a day or 2....I still need to post pics of my gifties from the sistas!!!
and all my other gifties.........
Back soon with pics I hope!!!!

Party Time!!!!!

The sistas decided to get together for a little party.........you know, fun.....food...presents.........buttery nipples.........

Sharon brought the most amazing cake I have seen since the last one she got for NoBlogs birthday...this was a work of art, we hated to eat it...........well, not really, they taste as good as they look!

There were presents, which I will showcase next blog.........

There was lots of yummy food..............as usual...you know 2 of the sistas are trying to see how much we can GAIN before we go on diets in the New Year........the other sista says shes not as fat as us so shes not going on no diet,LOLOLOLOLOLOL........

Heres another shot of the star of the night........
OK...Im off to enjoy Christmas Eve with my family..............only part of me is missing, my heart is sad that I cant be with my oldest, shes way far away where its cold and snowy...Tracey, I miss you with all my heart, and I wish you were here!!!!
Merry Christmas!

70s Rocked.......and so did we

Chelsey had a 30th birthday party for her hubby...gee that still sounds odd to say.......it was a blast, and I danced til I dropped....so much fun, the BeeGees, disco, YMCA.....I loved it..


Do you think he had a good time???

Lindsey...thought you might enjoy this pic....garter boy looked hot!!!! AND he asked about YOU!!!!!!!!!

Play day...........

Well, since Im a lady of leisure and have never had time off like this at the holidays, I have time for FUN!!!! and what better fun than a play date with my favorite cupcake...for a day of sewing and what else, EATING!!!!! Sharon always makes sure her guests dont go hungry, and leave a couple pounds heavier!!!! we tore into the cinnamon rolls she made us before I got a picture, but they were a yummy way to start the day!!!!
Now since blogspot never cooperates, my pictures as usual are not in order...AND does anyone know why I can only post 5 pics to a post??


So, this is what I came home to from Sharons....MY POLKA DOT SWAP!!!!! all the way from down under.....thank you DAWN so much, you really took the time to know what I like, and you are the BEST!!!!! can you write to me please, I dont have your email and I would love the let you know how much I love my crow, and my RED tote.....this gals got my number!!!!!!!!! This crow is awesome, he will fit right in with my crow collection, I love him...and Im going to use the tote TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Well, we did manage to make quite a mess on Sharons table, but we got a lot done, I made a table topper, ya all know how I love my table toppers, and with the left over charm squares I made a runner. I told Sharon I could do it in 2 seconds, and I did practically...until she pointed out that I screwed up and promptly handed me her sew ripper!!!! ok ok, I get a little impatient..........anyways, I left my treasures for Sharon to work her magic on Daisy, and I will get them when we have our NEXT playdate!!!!!

We worked up quite an appetite.......so Sharon whipped out this yummy pastami and we had the best sammies, with pickles and mustard, yummmm......I even had room for a few M&Ms.......red and green of course.......
Now you know a day at Sharons is not without gifties, but since this dang blogger only lets me put 5 pics at a time, thats a post for tomorrow...I promise....but I will be wearing one of them to work today!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok, speaking of the W word, which Iam seriously trying to avoid this season, I guess I better get ready and go sell some perfume!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas to Me!!!!

Have I mentioned I love PINK too???

A Very Simple Christmas

With only the things I love...........

I made this rag border years ago, it took forever but I love it......


Heres my mantle with all the snowmen made by my bff Glenni......matter of fact, lots of my decorations come from Glenni, thanks girlfriend!!!!

This old fellow was made by another friend, raggedyoldfriend, I love to take out all my decorations and think about the friends that made them for me.

Today I went to one of my all time fav stores, its in Old Towne Claremont......Im sure some of you will reconize the awesome wrapping they do..........its not Christmas without a Trip to Barbaras!!!!!! After finding just the right goodies, I relaxed with a gingerbread latte and plotted my next stop.......a lovely little shop in the village called Jasmines.....I just love going to the village, and you can always find just the right thing for just the right person.......
I asked the gal at Barbaras how long it takes to set up for Christmas, because the shop is magical..............get this....they close the store for...10 DAYS, 9 PEOPLE........they empty out the entire store and fill it with the most awesome goodies..........I took my camera to take pics for you, but I never got it out of my purse, I was too mesmerized by all that was within...
ok, we are having crazy Santa Ana winds again here in so cal.....you know what that means, fire danger, keep your fingers crossed for us.........

A Sadie Update........

Well, things seem to be almost back to normal here, shes back to her usual insane hyper self...driving us and Little Cheech nuts, and we are sooooooo glad. She still favors her leg on occassion, but for the most part seems ok and does not seem to be in pain, so we are keeping out fingers crossed that as more time goes by she will not need any surgery, and I can go Christmas shopping after all.................



Is this just the cutest little fanny you have ever seen?????

I spent the better part of the day decorating.....and I made a decision this year to only use the things I love and adore, I dont have to put EVERYTHING out just because I have it, right. So after Christmas this year, what I didnt use goes to the Goodwill, I hope to cut in half what I have, maybe even more.......what about you, do you feel you have to put everything out just because you have it???

I will post some pictures tomorrow.......

We are broken hearted......

We are sad puppy parents right now..........our baby jumped off a chair last night and blew out her kneecap....never thought that was possible, but I guess it is. We spent 4 hours in the doggy emergency room, x-rays, lots of pain meds, and a diagnosis that may include knee surgery if this doesnt pop back in.....


Shes pretty medicated right now and she still wants to walk around on 3 legs.......its so sad.

The saddest part of the was a family my heart just aches for, thier precious family member couldnt be saved , and the kids were devastated, so were the parents, and I could not help but cry for them. One question I will ask God if I ever have the chance, why cant our pets live as long as we do..........they are our best friends.
