Lazy Blogger....

that's me!

Haven't been feeling too well, and the icky fall weather is making me want to crawl into bed.

BUT... I got some new Stampin'Up Goodies in the mail today. Maybe I can come up with something to show.

Have a good one.

It started....

Have a good one.

Cupcakes....

nothing exciting, but I did want to post pictures nonetheless. I had an order for a dozen chocolate/vanilla cupcakes for a 50th birthday today. Only request: sick colors (including smurf blue)!

well... I hope this qualifies....



and I hope the guest of honor can see past the colors, because... they do taste yummy.

It's been a busy day today, with Trouble #1 getting her first retainer, baking, and running errands. Tonight there will be a couple of ladies coming to my house to learn more about Stampin'Up. So excited to share with them.

Have a good one.

It's a good... no, a GREAT day!

Barack Obama becomes America's 44th President.



It is a great day!

Have a good one.

Go and Vote today!

Remember.... Election Day. So go and vote.





Have a good one.

STM-Germany....

I had never heard of this song, but I did like the lyrics. So, this is what I came up with. Translation of the title is something like "never forget, you are unique".



Now I am going to take a nap. I had to work last night and didn't get to bed until 5am. Oye... I am too old for that.

Have a good one.

Aaaaaaannnnnddddd.... we are live! (auch Deutsch)

Scrapping The Music-Germany is online.

I am tickled pink to be part of the Design Team for STM-Germany, especially since it is going to be a challenge for me to a) scrap using German lyrics, and b) actually focus on German music. Most music I listen to is American, the occasional British thrown in, but German? Not really.

Ich freue mich wahnsinnig in Design Team von STM-Germany zu sein, ist es doch eine besondere Challenge für mich, a) mit deutschen Texten zu scrappen und b) mich überhaupt mit deutschsprachiger Musik zu befassen. Was ich meisstens so höre, ist amerikanisch, ab und zu britisch...aber deutsche Musik? Nicht wirklich.

So, take a peek.... for the first song, the entire design team created LOs. And wow! It looks fab!

Also, schaut vorbei. Für das erste Lied hat das ganze DT LOs gemacht. Fantastisch!


And, I know some people (yes, you Maggie, grin) are waiting for pictures.... here are a few of yesterday's birthday/halloween party. Somehow, by the time supper rolled around, I was so tired, I didn't take any pictures, which really bugs me, because my little Taco Monsters, the cucumber snake and "Creepy Eyeball Cheese spread" looked super cute, if I may say so myself.


The decorations/table and (just pretend you can hear the spooky music). Maggie, you did good!



Cupcakes are a must at our house...



THE cake. Trouble #2 insisted on having a black cat cake. Amazing what you cannot do with a Ladybug cake pan. The cat's face didn't turn out quite how I wanted it, but heck... I ran out of time (and buttercream)



And the aftermath:
that's what happens when you decide to let the kids decorate their own trick or treat bags.



Have a good one.
