Is March over already???

3 more days??? This has been the worst month so far, so so busy!!!!

UGGGGHHHHHHH

It's been a month so far since the car accident and me, my mom and my aunt have been going to physical therapy 3 nights a week.

I just got a nerve test done and they see something is wrong with my neck, I've been having pain there and in my upper back.

I've also had parent teacher for both boys.

Michael has had college nights at school and dentist appointments.  I've been out every single night this whole month and I'm just super tired.  And I hate going out at night, I love to come home after work and relax once I get everything done.

And it's been sooooooooooooooo cold here in NY.

I'm sick of wearing my winter coat, I want to burn it :( :( :(

Okay, my little vent is over now LOL

I'm looking forward to April.

Hopefully some nice weather will be coming our way,

and a not so busy calendar.

Plus my boys have off for spring break at the end of the month too.  Oh, I wanted to thank you all who voted for my Bath & Body design, many hugs and thanks :)

I have a lot of fun projects lined up and I can't wait to start on them!!!

First up, Pay it Forward!

I only had 3 people sign up, so I'm hoping I can get 5 items made and I will be giving away 2 of those items as a giveaway!

Want to know what I'm making???

Let's just say it's very inspired by Amy Tangerine's

class at Big Picture :)

I also signed up for a swap over at SB.com to make one of these:

How cool is that????

I've also been keeping up with my Tally Survivor layouts, it's been fun and challenging.

 For this layout above, we had to either use the word "sock" in the title or use a picture with socks showing in it.  This was one of my P365 pics for the day when we had the car accident and I thought it was perfect for the challenge.

And for this layout above, we had to use a "Z" word in our title.

Maxwell just got a new skateboard and he's loving it.  He's pretty good to for a beginner.  I used to have a skateboard when I was young, and seriously how did I do it?  I tried it the other day and was so scared that I would fall on my behind LOL

And finally, I wanted to share some more pages that I did for my Junk Journal!!!

 This is a little pocket page I made of our trip to the opera.

 I made a little mini album of our day to stick in the pocket.

 Here's another pocket page I made to hold all my Valentine's :)

 Awww, my boys were so good natured to take this pic for me :)

This is a pic I drew of Maxwell's school.

Thanks so much for visiting me today!

Have a wonderful week :)

My aunt made homemade corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and carrots, oh it was yummy!  I never had it before so it was nice to give it a try :)

I'm back...

Hi everyone :)

I’m so sorry I haven’t been around this week.  I came down with tonsillitis and bronchitis this past Monday and I’m finally feeling like myself.  It’s so funny how we take our health for granted, it just feels so good to feel good!  And it’s so funny the weekend before I got sick I was boasting how everyone at work has gotten sick and I didn’t come down with anything all winter, oh well. 

So the other day I saw that HBO is doing a remake of one of my favorite movies, Mildred Pierce!

I can’t wait to see it!  I just watched the original this past weekend and you know, I never knew it was a book first.  And I’m one of those people who always love the book more then the movie.  So I went and purchased it on my Kindle, I can’t wait to start reading it.

Also, I’ve been enjoying 30 Days of Lists so much! 

Since I’m so behind in posting my pictures here, I’d like to share a link to my Flickr 30 Days of Lists set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28752677@N06/sets/72157626055916889/

And before I go, I wanted to share some stuff that I’ve been working on.

This is my P12 February layout.

and two of my recent layouts that I’ve done on TallyScrapper!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

hugs, Marlene
