Fairs

2009-09-20T17:03:00.000-07:00

Today, SSD wants to hear about fairs. We don't have a lot of good fairs around here. I do really enjoy going to the annual street fair. Its downtown and really big. Lots of great stuff to check out. This year I bought a Christmas ornament for the family. Its really great when my mom is able to come down and go with us.

2 in 1!

2009-09-10T19:13:00.000-07:00

Here are todays quick and quirky questions:

1. Do you wash your own car or do you go to a car wash? Car Wash, when I do that one..lol

2. Are you wearing socks right now? nope, barefoot

3. Where were you 3 hours ago? on a walk with my son

4. Do you have laundry waiting to be done? course! Who doesn't?

5. Can you pick objects up with your toes? sure

Now for sports. My dh and I are huge hockey fans. We love to watch the Wild and even bought in on a set of season tickets this year! We only bought 1 game, but its gonna be great seats. We have never watched the Wild even though we have talked of going for years, its gonna be great!

Summer Photo

2009-08-23T16:06:00.000-07:00

Once, again, I post a SSD FOB2Y. I swear one of these days, I will post something other than one of those. @@ Here's one of my favorite summer photos. Its taken on the 4th of July.

iTunes

2009-08-14T17:46:00.000-07:00

I just bought an iPod last month. I have wanted one forever, but didn't have one. I got a pretty pink Nano. I only have 30 songs loaded on it for now, but the one I am digging the most the past week or so is Shinedown's Sound of Madness. Love that song.

Christmas Train

2009-08-08T19:42:00.000-07:00

This FOB2Y, Sweet Shoppe wants to see some place we went to last month. We had been looking forward to seeing the Disney A Christmas Carol train. My mom came to town for it and saw it early in the day. She said it was really cool. We went there right after we got off work and the line was huge. The wait was 1.5 hours and I just didn't think that N would wait that long for it. So we took a picture in front of it and moved on. N looks terrified though cause he was afraid they would blow the train whistle when he wasn't expecting it.

Cheesecake

2009-07-30T06:23:00.000-07:00

Today SSD wants me to talk about cheesecake. Boy, I love cheesecake and I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory, but we don't have one in the town I live. So I rarely get to go. Its been a while. My favorite cheesecake they have is pumpkin, but its a fall only one. If its summer, I love the key lime pie one. And if its neither of those seasons, banana cream is my favorite. Yummy. Wishing I could go get one.

Names

2009-07-23T16:57:00.000-07:00

So my former co-host of the BZ Name Board is now a SugarBabe (lucky b*tch...lol...love ya, Crystal!) and she wants to know what kind of names we like. This poll is really accurate and is nailed both Crystal and I. Crystal, I am sure you would agree that this one fits me perfect, right?

You Like Names That Are Classic and Timeless

You prefer quality names that have stood the test of time.

You don't like anything that's trendy today and outdated next year.

Names are important to you, and naming someone should not be an social experiment.

You are the type most likely to name someone after a family member.

Some female names you might like: Andrea, Elizabeth, Hannah, Julia, Marie, Nicole, and Victoria

Some male names you might like: Aaron, Benjamin, Christopher, Jonathan, Matthew, Thomas, and Zachary

What Kind of Names Do You Like?

Another SSD Quiz

2009-07-16T19:29:00.000-07:00

You Should Spend Your Summer at the Beach

You're a free spirit who is always thinking of new ways to have fun.

And you don't just love summer... you live for it.

So, you really should blow off your responsibilities and head to the beach!

Where Should You Spend Your Summer?

Weather

2009-07-10T07:12:00.000-07:00

Hmmm, I lost my super long post about the weather so all you are getting now is, its gonna be 80 and nice.

Drinks

2009-07-06T16:42:00.001-07:00

Hmm, this one is a bit off, I am extremely picky. ;)

You Are a Green Smoothie

You are a conscientious, health oriented person. You like fresh, whole foods.

You have an open mind about life. You enjoy all sorts of things, and you're not picky.

In fact, you believe the best things in life tend to be underrated or a bit intimidating.

You are bold and daring. You enjoy taking risks and living life to the fullest.

What Flavor Smoothie Are You?

Swimsuit Season

2009-06-25T12:07:00.000-07:00

I didn't much like this quiz as it didn't give me the option to say, I was once a tiny, little thing that never realized how small I was an hid in huge clothes and covered myself up, but now I have too much extra weight, stretch marks and a mommy tummy and try my best to cover it with no luck, but if I was tiny again, I would wear a bikini! ;) Guess they didn't think that was a good option.

You Are a One Piece Swimsuit

You are a bit conservative and traditional.

And you are not at the beach to put your body on display!

You are a low maintenance person. You like to look good, but you're not vain.

Your taste tends to be sophisticated. You always opt for classy over trashy.

What Kind of Swimsuit Are You?

Another Quiz

2009-06-18T17:25:00.000-07:00

Bitter

2009-06-14T06:13:00.000-07:00

Ok, now my blog is all pretty, so I need to remember to update it more! Jeez. I took another SSD quiz. Apparently, I am bitter. Go figure since some not so great baby name books say that's what my name means. Phmpt.

You Are Bitter

You aren't bitter at the world, even though you have a strong personality.

Instead, you are sophisticated and cultured. You appreciate acquired tastes.

You are very powerful. You have the ability to change a room's energy.

While some may find you disagreeable, your points of view are intelligent and interesting.

What Taste Are You?

Trying & May 2009

2009-05-25T13:28:00.000-07:00

First, I am trying really hard to make my blog look pretty, but I get frustrated with all the html before I finish. What's ridiculous is, I know html, I took a whole course on it in college, yet I get annoyed and can't get it. Guess its a good thing I never majored in computer science. I will hopefully get it fully pretty soon. Wanna make Amy's beautiful kit and Chelle's beautiful blog fashion look good.

Second, its another SSD from our blog to yours! This time they wanna hear about our May. In May, we put up a birdy feeder so Nicholas could watch the birdies. He loves to pretend to be a bird, so seeing them eat every day is great to him. We had a great Mother's Day. I got beautiful flowers, tulips and gerbera daisies and went out to great brunch at the place where we had our wedding reception. Nicholas also made me a card and tissue paper flowers at his school. They were beautiful. Grandma came to visit and we got to go swimming and to a different zoo. Nicholas really enjoyed the monkeys and the ducks. Feeding the ducks was his highlight, I think. Nicholas also had his first virgin marguerita. He thought it was very good. He discovered Finding Nemo and has been watching 'fishies' every since. On Memorial Day, we went to the Air Museum and he loved getting to see all the airplanes. What little boy doesn't love airplanes. It was a pretty good month other than all 3 of us getting sick at one point in the month.

SSD Again

2009-05-15T19:35:00.000-07:00

First, I will be redoing my blog soon. Gonna make it really pretty use a blog in a box by Amy Stoffel. I also need to update it badly. Its a mess. I am going to try to start posting more than just SSD From Our Blog to Yours quizes, too. I don't think anyone reads this anymore, so I will have some more ahead of me. lol

Your Star Wars Name Is Marfr Wabis

You like to "play hard"... even if you don't work hard.

You are able to let go of your worries and truly enjoy life.

What Part of Spring Are You?

Another Quiz

2009-03-26T16:26:00.001-07:00

Here's another Sweet Shoppe quiz, good thing I got Facebook as its the only one of the 3 options I actually have. lol

You Are Facebook

You are social, outgoing, and excited to connect to your friends.

You are interested in your friends' lives, and you enjoy adding your opinion to the mix.

While you enjoy sharing online, you don't want everyone to know your business.

You value your privacy. Your life is an open book to those you know but not to strangers.

Are You Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter?

Vanilla or Chocolate

2009-03-19T15:51:00.000-07:00

Apparently, I am chocolate even though I much prefer vanilla flavor. lol

You Are Chocolate

You are dramatic, charming, and downright addicting.

You have a strong personality, and and people are drawn to your fabulousness.

You are stimulating and exciting. It's hard to get tired of you.

You are incredibly likable and popular. You live a glorious life.

Are You Chocolate or Vanilla?

Cookies

2009-03-12T17:21:00.000-07:00

Today I am talking about Girl Scout Cookies for SSD. I love the Samoas or Carmel Delights, depending upon where you live. They are so good. I love the cookie with the carmel, coconut and chocolate. I think all of the Girl Scout Cookies totally rock, but these are my favorites.

Flowers & Designing

2009-03-08T11:46:00.000-07:00

Well, I officially stepped down as a designer. I am also no longer a Wonder Girl, but I am creating for JZDesigns (templates) from Faith Sisters & Bella Gypsy from Elemental Scraps now. I really need to update my blog and maybe post things other than SSD From Our Blog 2 Yours posts. Well, no need to start today:

Your Daisies Say You're Very Resilient

You have a spirt of pure optimism. Your view of the world is eternally cheerful.

You are bold and vibrant. Incredibly striking, you always stand out in a crowd.

You are adaptable and flexible. You can thrive in almost any situation.

You are often under estimated. Your critics and enemies are in for a surprise.

What Do The Flowers You Pick Say About You?

Birthday Trivia

2009-02-26T17:17:00.000-08:00

Did you know the melody for the Happy Birthday song was first penned by two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill? Huh, did ya, did ya? ;)

My Birthday

2009-02-24T17:38:00.000-08:00

Here's what my latest quiz for a Sweet Shoppe Rewards says about me.

You Are a Mediator

You understand people well and are a natural born therapist.

A peacemaker, people always seem to get along when you are around.

You tend to be a father or mother figure to friends, even to those older than you.

You enjoy your role, and you find that you are close to many people.

Your strength: Your devotion

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Don't Forget & Words

2009-02-14T13:17:00.000-08:00

Don't forget about my retirement sale this month! Once they are gone, they are gone for good. 65% off the entire month.

I did another Sweet Shoppe quiz. Here's my results:

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.

Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.

You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.

And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's Your Word?

Birthdays & Retirement

2009-02-06T17:55:00.001-08:00

First, I am retiring from designing. I just don't have the time anymore and would rather focus on scrapping (which I am better at anyway...lol). So all my stuff is 65% off through the end of the month before its all gone for good.

So, SSD wants me to talk about birthdays. The most memorable birthday I have is not necessarily the best. I remember my 19th right away, I was in basic military training. Yeah, what a wonderful birthday. lol I had lots of birthday parties as a kid, McDonald's ones (anyone remember those?), slumber parties (NKOTB themed once), rollerskating, lots of fun things. I hope my son will always remember his parties. I have tried really hard to make them special thus far.

Resolutions

2009-01-29T17:16:00.000-08:00

You Will Keep Your New Year's Resolution

You planning on making a resolution that's smart, attainable, and perfect for where your life is.

Cupcakes

2009-01-24T08:23:00.000-08:00

So I am supposed to talk about cupcakes, but I don't like cake. Never been much of a fan. I can eat angelfood though so I guess I could say that would be my favorite cupcake. I do like the look of cupcakes, they can be so cute. Guess I don't have a lot to say about cupcakes. lol

What kind of shopper are you?

2009-01-15T19:14:00.000-08:00

This is very accurate. I am a total bargain shopper and I do get a big thrill out of a good deal. lol

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales.

It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal.

Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices.

Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

Long Time No See

2009-01-10T06:50:00.000-08:00

Ugh, lost my last post. Gonna try again!

I haven't updated in a long time as I have been really busy. I am updated now for SSD's From Our Blog to Yours.

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent

You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few months.

You don't really like to work, unless work feels like play. You only are successful when you are doing what you love.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.

When it comes time to relax, you have no problem letting go. You are already pretty relaxed as is!

The Snow Test

My goals for this year are to work on my marriage (a tough thing to do), get back in great shape and to turn 30 with grace.

Hope every one had a great holiday season!

Sales!

2008-10-30T17:09:00.000-07:00

First, Digi Scrap Station is having a sale. I am the 65% off person. lol I figured it would be ok since I haven't released anything new in a couple of months. :( I am hoping to get something new up, but I don't think I will have time. Anyway, here's the ad (its linked to my store):

SSD

2008-10-11T08:57:00.000-07:00

Ice Cream test, this is so not me either, but apparently I am a conservative ice cream eater (even though its my biggest weakness):

Your Ice Cream Personality:

You are an incredibly modest person. You don't feel comfortable bragging about yourself... or even receiving complements.

You are incredibly cautious. You rather miss out on something than make a mistake. No one would ever call you wild... but they would call you responsible.

You are a somewhat open minded person, but deep down you're fairly conservative. You don't like trying new things very much. And if you do find something new you like, you stick with it.

You tend to have a one track mind. You prefer not to multitask.

You are fun loving and sweet. You tend to enjoy joking around and teasing people.

Vampires and stuff

2008-09-18T13:16:00.000-07:00

I am totally addicted to Twilight. I finished the series today. What good books. I took a vampire quiz for Sweet Shoppe, but they go with the traditional vampire myths, not the reality of Twilight. ;) I could be a Twilight vampire, though of course, I always prefered Jacob.

You Could Not Be a Vampire

Sorry, but you're not just cut out for flesh eating, turning into a bat, and living forever.

But that's okay. The sight of blood turns your stomach... without even thinking of drinking it.

And while you definitely would never be a vampire, you're exactly the type of frail prey Dracula wannabe's crave.

Maybe it's time to arm yourself with a cross and some nasty garlic breath!

What you would like best about being a vampire: The raw power (though you wouldn't admit it to anyone)

What you would like least about being a vampire: The whole killing thing

Could You Be a Vampire?

Random Stuffs

2008-09-11T06:31:00.001-07:00

First, I took another quiz for Sweet Shoppe Points. Here's what mine says:

You Are 59% Real

You're pretty real with people, but you can't help hiding a good part of yourself.

You're not truly happy with who you are at times... and believe it or not, it shows.

Try not to hide parts of your life from the people who matter to you.

Your friends and family are probably a lot more accepting than you realize!

How Real Are You?

On to Sunshine News:
First, Ellie & Vasco's colab got delayed so tonight is the real release day. Head over tonight and check out their chat.

Kiki has a pretty new kit out:

The Sunflowers (the group of girls who were getting design help from the Sunshine Girls) are now live in the store! Check them out HERE

Kristi also has a fun new kit in the stores:

So head on over to Sunshine Studio Scraps and check out all the fun new stuff in store!

Lots of Stuff

2008-09-04T08:17:00.000-07:00

First, I am back from south Texas and kind of wishing I was still there. I had way too much fun there and on top of it all, I came back to crappy weather. What the hell, its only been in the 60s the last few days. Come on, how is it possible to drop over 30 degrees in a day. It hurts.

I have been totally slacking on my designing with being gone for over 2 weeks. I need to get back on top of things. I am running a 65% off sale through Friday night though to celebrate Labor Day and my return home. Link to the right. :)

I took the Crayola quiz about knowing my crayons. I named all 64 crayons with only 44 mistakes. lol Its says I am a Color Genius. I really sucked at the kid's choice ones. Too random for me. Take the quiz HERE

On to Sunshine News:

There will be a partcipation prize. Check it out HERE

Amanda has a new kit out (and I just used it myself!):

That's it for now!

SSD FOB2Y

2008-09-01T09:25:00.001-07:00

I am back home finally and ready to get back into my scrapping! Yay. Here's a little quiz I did for Sweet Rewards. I am surprised I scored that high. lol

Your Common Spelling Mistake Score: 70% Correct

Your spelling is decent, but you do make quite a few mistakes.

Let's just say you won't be winning a spelling bee anytime soon!

Do You Make Common Spelling Mistakes?

New Sunshine Products & Accents

2008-08-14T09:49:00.000-07:00

First, lets talk accents. I took a little quiz and it hit the nail on the head. lol

What American accent do you have?

Your Result: North Central

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.

The West

The Midland

Boston

The Inland North

The South

Philadelphia

The Northeast

What American accent do you have?
Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

Second, Kiki at the Sunshine Studio has a few really great basic paper packs for sale. Check them out, she also has them in green & tans, too!

Claudi at the Sunshine Studio has a new kit out and its so cute!

Grease & Sorry

2008-08-07T09:29:00.000-07:00

First, I know I promised a new kit soon, but I hit a roadblock. I got stuck in the final stages and really need to get back into it and finish my half. I am sure Crystal would appreciate that since hers is done and fabulous a while ago.

Second, I took a Grease quiz. I love that movie, but it as been so long since I watched it that I only got 10 out of 15 correct. Opps! lol It still said I 'know the movie'. It is a great classic. Just wish it had told me which I got wrong.

Happy

2008-08-01T06:38:00.001-07:00

First, isn't that Flergs freebie I linked to gorgeous! Oh, I just love her stuff. Second, I wanna talk about a LO that makes me happy just looking at it. Most of my LOs make me happy or I want to laugh cause I am remembering when I took the picture(s) of my son, he's so stinkin' cute and so much fun. This one is great cause it was so funny that my son wanted to wear his water wings to supper one night. He was so upset when we passed by the pool and didn't go in. He just loves to swim. Here's the LO: (credits: Credits: template by Missy Strand, everything else is Sherrie Piegdon's Christine's Seaside Escape available at www.pixelgypsydesigns.com)

First, what do you all think of the new blog look? Pretty, huh? Thanks to Wendy for her help in getting all the side links up. Do you like the colors? Do you like the look? Its a sneaky peek of the colab Crystal and I are working on, it will be up in my store in the next couple of days. Wednesday at the latest. :) Look for Frozen Tangerine soon!

Second, my Sweet Shoppe Points, what kind of music am I, well, apparently classical. lol

You Are Classical Music

You are a somewhat serious person who enjoys studying subjects deeply.

Art of all kinds interests you, and a good piece of art can really effect you emotionally.

You are inspired by human achievement, and you appreciate work that takes years to accomplish.

For you, the finer things in life are not about snobbery - they're about quality.

What Kind of Music Are You?

Summer Jobs

2008-07-18T21:22:00.000-07:00

So I was thinking about maybe going back to work. My dream job would be to have a photography studio in my home. It would be so fantastic. My favorite job as a kid was when I worked at K-Mart. I had so much fun and met so many good friends there, I even met my high school sweetheart there. How could you not love a job then? The funny thing is his first weeks there, he kept constantly messing up and I thought he must be stupid. Who knew he would be my first love and someone I could always dream about again? Sweet innocence in first love.

Favorite Trips

2008-07-10T11:14:00.000-07:00

Its summer around here and I am dreaming of vacations since I won't be going on one. I would love to go visit my best friend/cousin in South Carolina and get some pictures of Nicholas on the beach. If I was really dreaming though, I would love to tour Europe and just take weeks traveling around. There is so much there I would love to see. So anyone have any vacations they would like to go on?

SSD Our Blog to Yours

2008-07-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

My latest SSD blog post. lol

What Your These Fireworks Say About You

You are focused, single minded, and intense.
You don't let others see your intensity often, and when they do, they are quite surprised.

You burn brightly, but you also burn steadily.
You have the endurance to get the one thing you desire most.

The Fireworks Test

This blog should be looking good here fairly soon with help from the fabulous Neverland Scraps (Wendy).

What Your Fridge Says About You

You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times.

You are not careful with your money. In fact, you rarely think about how much you are spending.

You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side.

You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it.

You are likely to be married - and very busy.

2008-06-12T14:06:00.000-07:00

I really should update a bit more often then when I am doing the Sweet Shoppe from our blog to yours posts. lol Today they want to know about our favorite summer activities. For us, Nicholas and I love to go to the zoo (good thing we have a membership), go for walks, go to the park and run around in the yard. This year Nicholas got a water table and he has his wading pool and we are looking for a sandbox, but its been so cold here that we haven't gotten any use out of the outdoors stuff. Warm up, Weather! I am so sick of this rainy, cold, very non-summer weather.

Dream Vacations for SSD

2008-06-02T14:40:00.000-07:00

The Sweet Shoppe girls want to hear all about our dream vacations. So here is mine: I would love to tour Europe. I want to go to so many countries there. I think it would be great to take like 6 weeks and just travel and spent time there, go with the flow. Some countries I want to see are Ireland, England, Finland, Germany, Czech Republic, Holland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. I am sure there are many more I would love to see, too.
