A new post.... What?!?

Ok, I'm just going to come right out and admit that I pretty much suck at this blogging stuff! While I love reading all of your lovely blogs, I am just not very good at blogging myself! Partly because I feel I have nothing to say and partly because I work from home and after work I am pretty much sick of the computer.

Anyway, remember a post a month or so ago about craft ideas? Well, I have finally found something I enjoy doing. My neighbor and I decided to have a wine/craft night, so we took a trip to Michaels to see what we could come up with. She decided on an adorable little dove ornament craft with her husband, her two boys and her names on them. I decided to make scrapbook picture frames. I thought it would be a perfect give for my mom, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Here are the results:

 This is the very first one I made for my mother-in-law. About a week later, I decided I wasn't satisfied with it and made her another one. I guess the hubby and I will keep this one.

This is the one I made for my sister-in-law. I am actually very happy with the turn out of this one. Her favorite color is pink! While looking for the perfect paper and embellishments, I realized I had the perfect picture for this frame!!!

This is the one that I made for my mom. I am very proud of this one! She just received it today and absolutely loves it!

And this final one is the replacement one I made for my mother-in-law. I am so very happy with the turn out of this one!

I hope my mother-in-law and sister-in-law love their frames as much as my mom does!!! I am debating trying to make them to sell. What do you guys thing???

Mmmm, mmmm good!!!

Three cheese tortellini alfredo with roasted red pepper chicken sausage and asparagus!!! Soooo delish! I wish I could say that it was all homemade, but at least I boiled the tortellini, grilled the sausage and baked the asparagus. Sometimes, I really wish I was more "domesticated". I wish I could say that I love cooking, cleaning and doing laundry, but who really does?! Definitely, not this girl! I don't mind separating the laundry and putting it in the washer and dryer, but then actually putting it away is a completely different story. I am sad to say that our guest bedroom has become the "laundry" room. Husband was saying the other day that it would be really nice if he could just open his drawers to get out the clothes he needs instead of having to go into the "laundry" room and search through the pile. I'm pretty sure I'm going to find clothes I totally forgot I had when I finally put the laundry away. Yes, that is how long it has been! At least the rest of the house is pretty clean! I think my New Years resolution this year will be to be a better housewife. That should be easy peasy right? Right?!?

I want it!!!

I sooooo want this Coach Legacy Satchel! It is to die for! Pretty sure it is not our budget right now. Sigh... Guess I will have to start looking for something similar or wait until it is at the Coach outlet.

Hobby

Short, sweet and to the point; I need a hobby! I am thinking something like knitting, crocheting, candle making, etc. Any ideas???

So... I fell off the blogging bandwagon again!!! I was doing so well with blogging at least every other day and then for some reason I just stopped! I'm such a bad, bad blogger!

I decided that something that might help me keep up with the blog this month would be to follow everyone else and list all the things I'm thankful for. Since I am a little behind, today will be a little bit of thankful overload!!!

1. First and foremost, I am thankful for God. He continues to amaze me every day in everything he does. Everything else I am thankful for would not be possible without God.

2. My husband - I seriously could not ask for a better spouse and best friend. I thank God every day for bringing me such a wonderful man.

3. My mom - She is the world's greatest mom. I am so thankful for the relationship that I have with her. I know she is always there for me and loves and accepts me for who I am. She is one of the main reasons I am who I am today.

4. Our house - Even though it is just a rental, I am so thankful that I have a roof over my head.

5.  Our dogs - They bring joy to my life every day. I am thankful the hubby got me our first puppy, Peanut, as a moving present. I am thankful that we were able to rescue our second puppy, Dossy, and provide a loving home for her.

6. My job - I am so thankful I have a job that I love. TJ Formal rocks!!!

7. My family - I am thankful that I have such a close family. Not everyone's family is close and I am so thankful that mine is. 

8. Our bed - I am very thankful for our comfy queen size bed. I love crawling into bed every night and despise having to get out of it in the morning.

Ok, I think I am caught up now! 

Game one down.

The Giants are in the World Series!!! Woo hoo!!! Tonight, was the first game and hubby and I had a lovely baseball game inspired dinner of chili dogs and french fries. Soooo not healthy, but oh so good! The fifth inning had me saying, "That....was....AMAZING!!!" Uribe hit a 3 run homer! I love me some Giants baseball and not gonna lie, I have a bit of a school girl crush on MVP Cody Ross

I mean seriously, how cute is he? Not as cute as the hubs, but still pretty adorable and an AWESOME ball player!!!

GO GIANTS!!! FEAR THE BEARD!!!
