Happy New Year

It is going to be a white New Years as it has been snowing for the last several hours. It is a nice fluffy snow and yes it is pretty, but since we had a green Christmas we can have a green rest of the winter.

Happy New Year to all my friends and family. I hope the new year brings you much success and happiness. Are you making any resolutions??

Mine will be do more layouts, use my supplies and must ad eat healthier.

AHHHHH I'm off work until Wednesday, just doing lots of things around the house and working at my scrap table. Then the nightmare begins, I will be moving one of my stores, opening a new one and toss in a few inventories. All this in the month of January. But I will still be around.

Have a Happy and Safe New Year.

It's almost time

I have been a bad blogger! This year has been crazy at work. I have everything ready for the holidays this year, all the wrapping, shopping and cards are all done. Thanks to my sister she is doing the grocery shopping and the dinner.

But this is not a good time to move a store and open a new one. I know its the job I chose so no dwelling on it, its suppose to be a happy holiday season.

SO TO ALL MY FRIENDS, FAMILY AND LURKERS I WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND/OR A HAPPY HOLIDAY.

Just not sure how to say it anymore some say you have to be politically correct. but to me I still like to say MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Enjoy the time with your family and friends and take lots of photos.

How much do you wonder?

Today at work we were talking about our wonders.
Do you wonder if your day is going to be a good one? I sometimes think about this on my way to work and I just hope it is going to be an easy day.
Do you wonder where you will be in 1o yrs. Heck I wonder where I'm going to be in 5 years LOL
Do you wonder how much snow we are going to receive. I have no wonders about this, its Michigan.
Do you wonder why people don't answer you, whether is a phone call, email or a letter. I quit wondering on this one. I know my true friends always answer me.
Do you wonder what changes people attitudes? I believe this one has many reasons, the have been always been fake and you never realized it, they think they found a better friend and they always keep moving on to others and constantly leaving great friends behind.
Do you wonder if you will be in the same job until you retire? I'm not sure on this one, I like my job, the pay is great, the benefits are great but if something comes my way I would have to think about if I would want to make a change.
They say the average person wonders about 6 to 10 things a day.

I guess I never thought I wondered that much, I guess I would say I thought about many things each day so am I a wonder er or not???
I think this is a question I may never really have the answer for. So is a thought and a wonder the same thing?

Enough wondering.............

This week while you are out and about do something nice for some one. It can be something very easy like opening a door for someone, ask if they need help reaching something. Tis the season and you can make a difference just doing something minor for someone. Post what you have done.

So far this week I have given someone a 40% off coupon I did not use. She looked happy to receive it. I was leaving a store and did not need the coupon and she was just going in the door and I asked her if she wanted a coupon.

O what a feeling.....

AAAHHHH I only have stocking stuffers to get! And yes I'm all wrapped. It took me over 3 hours last night but every gift is wrapped. It sure is a great feeling, cause normally I'm a last minute shopper.

Don't get me wrong I probably will be out there the next two Sundays, checking out the bargins. I have to shop for me too!

Hummm think the only item I want to make/bake this year is chex mix, I love it spicy. There is not baking of Christmas Cookies this year. We do not need them!
Feels kind of weird not having any but I'm fine with it.

Work has been good the last week lets hope it stays that way through the Holidays. Come January we have to pack up one of my stores and move it. UGH but she gets a nice new store.

Hope you all get you shopping, wrapping and baking done soon. Take some time and enjoy the holiday.

Is there one gift you are just hoping to receive? Not me this year, I'm just going with the flow and I'm sure dh did some pretty good shopping this year. Mainly since I cut the items I want out of the paper, gave him some directions as to where to find the items in the store and even gave him some coupons.

Chat later.....

BRRRRR....

Geez how come the older I get the colder I feel? It is not that freaking cold, its been 20 to 35 and to me it feels like below zero. LOL

Well guess what I have one more present to get and a few stocking stuffers and that is it. I need help with my last gift and if you think you would want to help shoot me an email. LOL I can not post what I'm looking for because this person lurks everywhere!!! And now I'm so determined to find this item because everyone says I can not.

Work has been better, just lots of colds, flu and sinus infections going around. But since it is getting so close to Christmas, employees are wanting to pick up the extra hours. They need to now because after the holidays it will slow down and the hours will most likely be cut.
I know its just not our stores but every where I go it does not seem busy, I think people are really cutting back this year. With the higher heating bills, gas prices and the factory layoffs how can you not cut back.

Last night I did a good deed, a friends daughter had to decorate a stocking for her to hang in her kindergarten class and she want to come use my supplies. She says I have lots of stuff and she is so telling the truth. So we used paint, foam stamps, glitter and some gems boy was she happy when she left. And she did all the stamping herself. Her mom says when she gets her next school project she will be wanting to come back over. How cute.

Off to read and get ready for some good TV.

hello out there

All I can say is I have been busy busy busy. Work has been busy, home has been busy. So much good and bad happened this week, I don't want to be depressing anyone, so I'm not posting any sad or stressful news.

I have started and almost finished my Christmas shopping!!! The house is deocrated!!! Christmas Cards are made, written and mailed!!! So I'm on the ball this year and now just need to get to the wrapping. I do have to do some stocking stuffers and a couple little things. They will be done this week, then I can sit and enjoy the nights.

So how are you doing with your shopping???
