Oh I am soooooo excited

Thank you so much to those of you who gave me photo tips, cuz I tried em out today and the pics I took turned out pretty good. I will show you a few of them, but can't show you them all since I have relatives who are on here quite frequently and I just might use one or two of these pics for xmas gifts.

Julie and her dh's Anniversary gift


Here is part of the gift that I created for Julie and her Dh, it is one of those Pizza boxes and I filled it with some addictive chocolate...one of my new favorite chocolates (Bliss). So I needed to have a nice package to put them in...sorry Jim no muffins or cookies this time.
I got the "Pizza Box" tutorial over on the Splitcoaststampers website, and it was actually pretty easy to do. Can't wait to make more :D!

Elegant card


So here is the Anniversary card that I made for Julie and her dh, I used a new stamp set that I got several months ago that I have NOT inked up yet. Lol, I know is that possible to have not inked up a stamp set?? Yep, it is...just ask my gal stamping friends :D! I love how this card turned out, at first I was a little unsure of how it was going to look or even if it was going to be what I was looking for. LOVE IT :D!! Gotta luv those pearl brads that I used there in the upper right hand corner, I got them at Frenchy's (the second hand clothing store). You never know what you are going to come out of that store with when you go there, I got these brads for $2.oo.

Slow Me Down

Had to share this with you guys...these are the lyrics for the song that a couple used to dance to on "So You Think You Can Dance Canada" the other night. The song is called "Slow Me Down" and here are the lyrics:

Rushing and racing and running in circles
Moving so fast I’m forgetting my purpose
Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
Getting nowhere

My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic
The pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
I try to appear like I’ve got it together I’m
Falling apart

Save me . . .
Somebody take my hand and
Lead me . . .
Slow me down
Don’t let love pass me by, just
Show me how. . .
Cuz I’m ready to fall
Slow me down
Don’t let me live a lie before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Sometimes I feel that I might disappear in the
Blur of fast forward - I fall through again
Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep
I’m getting nowhere

All that I’ve missed I see in the reflection
Passed me while I wasn’t paying attention . . .
Tired of rushing, the racing and running
I’m falling apart

Tell me . . .
Oh won’t you take my hand
And lead me . . .
Slow me down
Don’t let love pass me by, just
Show me how . . .
Cuz I’m ready to fall
Slow me down
Don’t let me live a lie before my life flies by
I need you to slow me down

Show me . . .
Just slow me down

The noise of the world is getting me caught up
Chasing the clock how I wish I could stop it
Just need to breathe . . .
Somebody please . . .
Slow me down

A little something

I do have a project that I worked on yesterday night, but I can't show you it right now since it is a Anniversary gift for a certain someone (Julie and her dh) that reads my blog frequently. I will share it with you on Saturday or Sunday, that is once they recieve it :)! I think you will like it, and will have to make a few yourselves...will give you the link too....how's that??
Well, gotta get up off my chair and start doing housework and debating about going into the city for a few things but at the same time Ethan is having one of those "off days" so staying home sounds good too.

Have a SUPER day :)!
