Shout Outs, Updates and Business!

-

Just a couple "shout outs" and blog updates for you and yours . . . in case you were wondering:

  • Yep, today is Thursday. You know what that means. . . bum bum bum bumm . . . WW night. Starting my new way of thinking . . . and new healthy life . . . How Fun . . . (Click right HERE to review what I am doing tonight.) Just imagine. . . in about 48 hours I should be really REALLY CRABBY. (Lucky You, as I should have some really great posts from that!)

  • Congratulations to PK . . . .who made it through Halloween! (Click right HERE to review PK's post about Halloween.) PK - I'm glad you made it! I'm thinking next year you and your PG are coming to my house. I'll make a believer out of you yet!

  • Major Congrats to an old High School friend, Lynn, who started a blog! Yea!!! (Click right HERE to get to her blog.) Lynn sent me an email a couple months back, telling me she was a closet writer. Well . . . WAY TO GO, LYNN! for stepping out and sharing your thoughts with us all. I'm so very proud of you and I look forward to reading what you have to say!

  • Remember my Million Dollar Plan? (Click right HERE to review how I came up with that great idea.) Well . . . I started. Turns out, it's not easy to write a book. But I've begun my thought process and have begun developing a outline. Very cool. Very fun. Very exciting.

  • My Phil Guy is out of town, and it seems like I jump into SUPER MOM mode when that happens, so I'm getting LOTS accomplished this week. He's home on Sunday - and that will be the day that I collapse (always do when he returns home from a trip.) The girls have been really good so far (knock on wood with me, won't you?) So all is good!

  • I'll be at "The Farm and Nature Discover Preschool Center" in Palos Heights, IL (12700 Southwest Highway) on Friday, November 20th from 4:00pm to 9:00pm, participating in a fundraiser for their outside play area. I will be at the CuteyBaby booth. Have I told you about CuteyBaby? Remember that Million Dollar Plan post I wrote? CuteyBaby is the company that I have done some design work for. They specialize in Wall Decals for baby and children rooms, and also cloth diapers. A friend/relative of ours started this awesome company and I have assisted her by designing some of the wall decals. Anyway, I'll be at this Vendor Fair on November 20th. They will have a number of other vendors present - so if you live in the area, consider taking a quick drive by. Sure to include some great stuff for Christmas presents!

Thanks so much for allowing me to post some of this "business". I'm all for communicating. . . and these were some things I just wanted to say before I forgot (which I'm sure to do!) Have a fantastic night and I'll be back with another inspiring blog post soon!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
