UGH! The flu bites

So, I spent the entire Thanksgiving break dealing with H1N1! And I am still not 100%. Besides being weak and tired constantly, I believe the cough is the worst! I normally have bronchitis every year, but not like this nagging, hack! Even the cough syrup doesn't help a whole lot and it is the good stuff. But I am a big fan of Tamiflu! And thank the good Lord above, no one else has gotten it yet!

So I just got my first printed pages back from MyPicTales and I love them! They look great! I can't wait to put them in a book and show them off! They did a great job and it was so reasonable (only $1 per page). I also ordered my calendars from them as well. I will let you know how those came out as well!

Well, I did get one thing done productive during the break (and that is about it...ONE)....the boys Christmas pictures taken. Here's a few of the better ones...







and here's the photo Christmas card that I sent to the printer this weekend....


So until the next time!

Blessings,

Love holiday weeks!

So I have had a super long weekend off and will return to work tomorrow! Boohooo! However, can I say that I truly enjoyed my time off! I got some scrapping taken care of! Hung out with the boys! Visited with my SIL and her family! The boys really love playing with their cousins even though they may be 8-10 years older than them! LOL! I joked that having my nieces spend an afternoon with my two rough and wild boys was the best birth control imagined! LOL!

And the motivation for the next few days is that I only have a three-day work week! WHEEEEHEEEE! Can you tell that I am pretty pumped about that!?! Church is also starting to kick up in activities too! So I am really glad we missed the fall sports sign up cutoffs because Jake and I would not have cut it this season!

I also got some shopping in and that was actually enjoyable! I was able to shop in the misses' department instead of plus/womens' and could've gone down another size...but I am still timid to show off my shape (or lack of shape!) so opted for a little loose! Then after dinner I dragged the family out for a walk/bike ride! Of course, Zach was dragging towards the end of our 2-mile trek and I had to push his bike. It was exercise never the less!

So playing around with photoshop more and trying to decide what do next...so I played with Christmas photo cards. I don't know about you, but choosing the perfect card each Christmas is a chore for me because I want to be unique but also chose one that fits our family...religious, colors match, etc. Plus this year, I want to venture out and make one that is not the run-of-the-mill store generated card so I am going to make my own. So I am in need of your feedback...



And for giving me some advice...I have a freebie for you! Here's a template of the card above.

Don't forget to leave me some love!

Blessings to you all!
