This is another one of the meals from the E-mealz I ordered. Once again, there is enough left over for another meal! I'm lovin' it!

Celebrate the Moment was a charity collab that one of the designers I CT for was on.
Papers and tag are by Eva Kipler, flourish is by Amanda Thorderson and the flower is by CK, who ever that might be. Sorry, don't know who. I didn't get any TOU's with the kit.

Hey, Liz! Dad and I eat at Subway mainly now because he and I can split a foot long sandwich for $5! With chips and a drink we spend $10! You can't hardly do that at McDonalds anymore, not to mention Subway's sandwiches are more healthy! It's all about the money, honey! :)

So, my surprise for all of those who will be spending Christmas with us is that we are getting my bathroom fixed with a shower! WOOHOO! That will certainly help matters! And while I'm thinking of our Christmas get-together, I spoke with Nathanael earlier this week. The week between Christmas and New Year is a "blackout" meaning NO ONE is allowed to take off from Walmart. Plus, he has been training at Denny's Restaurant as a cook for 2 weeks (making more than what Walmart is paying him), so he has their schedule to contend with, too. However, that being said, if he has a couple days off, they are hoping they can come to the house in the early part of the week. But probably only for one day. So, with that in mind, you all might want to plan on being here the first part of the week between Christmas and New Year. We can talk about it this coming week in MD. Can't wait!!!!!!!

Tim sent me an e-mail yesterday inviting me to go and see a movie, LOL! The funny thing about that is that he sent it from the next room! So, I walked to his room to talk to him about it! So, we went to the matinee showing. And, let me just say that as a mom the movie was heart wrenching! Your mom-heart takes over and you are in Sandra Bullock's shoes (the momma in the story). There is some language in it that kids don't need to hear, as far as I'm concerned (I don't know why they have to do that! GRRRR!). But it is a good movie. Take kleenex! We ended the evening with a sub! $25 date, priceless!

Today I played with a new kit for my CT designer, Cindy Ritter. She has made the cutest, prettiest kit called "Sugarplums and Stardust." What I usually do for her is create 4x6 brag books for her to sell. She will give me a coupon for some of her CU (commercial use) designer items for using when I make digital scrapbooking kits.

Since the kit has lots of wintery type of stuff in it, I decided to use it for today's page featuring the crocheted dresses, hats and scarves that my dear friend made for Barbie, which I will give to a certain little girl for Christmas! The hat and scarves look really cute with the jacket I made yesterday! Susie is working on some other things, too! I think one little girl is gonna be very happy with all of her new Barbie outfits! I'm glad I bought some Barbies at the thrift store so a couple of little girls can play with them when they are here for Christmas!

I am really enjoying sewing for a change! It is fun to see what I can come up with out of the Dollar Tree materials I bought and the stuff that Susie gave to me. She gave me some leather that I want to try to make a coat out of, but I'm worried I will mess up and then not have enough material! But I'll never know til I try! :)

We went to Clarksville, VA today for the Pastor's Fellowship meeting for the group of pastors from NC, SC, VA. It was about 2 1/2 hours from the house. On the way home, we were about 10 minutes from the house at 10:20 p.m. when we hit backed up traffic in I-40 West. We sat for 2 hours before Tim decided he was tired of sitting. So we got the atlas and tried to "feel" our way home via back roads. I say "feel" our way because every time we turned Monica on, she wanted to take us back to I-40! And we knew that wasn't a possibility, so we kept traveling until we got lost and turned her on. Then she got us home in about 15 minutes! So, the trip home ended up taking twice as long! We didn't get home until almost 1 a.m.!
