Daydreaming of My Own Home

While poking around on pinterest...I found myself daydreaming of my own home. One of these days Cory and I will have a place of our very own to call home.

(none of these photos are my own and I do not take credit for them)

Some my good things will all fall into place and my dreams will come true. Even if we have to build it ourselves ♥

Bad Blogger....and an Update

So...I'm sorry that I'm a bad blogger. School started about a month ago and we are already into mid-terms :( Plus I've had some car issues for the past 2 months but that's all over, thank goodness!! Mama got a new car! Well...new to me anyway. But no more worrying about whether I'm going to make it to and from work, or if I'm going to stranded...and have to pay $200 for a dang tow because my AAA only covers 7 miles! 7 Miles? Where can you go in 7 miles?! Geez...I work 2 jobs, both of which are out of town AND I go to school about an hour and twenty minutes from my house. I cannot be without a car...thank goodness for my sweet mother in law for letting me borrow her car on the days I have school.

So anyway, things are great now. I'm still a bit overwhelmed with not having enough time but this too shall pass. Otherwise, everything is going great.

I have much to share with you, I just have to get ALL of my photos uploaded to photobucket and then I can start sharing them with ya. :)

For now, here are the ones I managed to get up and edit on Sunday:

 Irwin always finds the weirdest, most uncomfortable places and positions to sleep in...

Although, he looks pretty comfy and content here, lol.

Gorgeous flower arrangements for Angie's wedding in September...
a few more pics to come ♥

A small pile of homework the first week of class...now I take up the entire floor!

Mortoise the Tortoise finds his way into places he shouldn't be...this is how I found him when I came home from work one day.

My new car...I love it to death. I wish so badly that I could tell you I won't smash this one up like I did my Del Sol, but I'm a really bad driver. Who knows what could happen.

A recent ATC swap I sent out...I think these are my favorit ATCs so far.

A Desert themed package (including some decos to pass on)for a new swapping friend in Canada. Hope she likes what I've put together for her :)

Bits & Pieces ATC swap...made from "bits & peices" or scraps of paper I had lying around from other swaps. Sorry the color is out of whack. I think I took this pic at night.

There you have it. A few pics of recent happenings in my world.

More to come...Cory and I took a day trip to Big Bear on Sunday and I have yet to upload those gorgeous photos.

Happy Tuesday and Have an awesome week!

Recent Swaps in Photos

Received...love this card! This was for an ATC swap and my awesome partner sent me some really fun extras.

I love getting extras!

These three I made for a Halloween Deco Swap that starts next week. So exciting!! I received my first decos to sign two days ago and I can't wait to get home from work today to work on them and send them out.

Yes...I'm blogging at work. 

Shhhhhhhh....

 Bookmarks I made to send as little extras in swaps. I've sent out 2 of these so far. I always love getting bookmarks because even if I don't use them, someone else will. I put them in birthday cards and greeting cards as extra little gifts.

Yummy snack themed postcards I made for fun. Someone received the Cheez-it pc last week and she told me it was her favorite snack! Cracked me up. I bet she wasn't expecting a food pc, lol.

This little squirrel ATC was made for a brown themed ATC swap. I cut this little guy from an ad in a magazine and had to use him.

More decos I made for a deco swap. I made the little one for me and the bigger one for my partner. I can't wait to get mine back in the mail! These are probably my favorite decos so far--that I've done. I'm still new to decos.

So there you have it.

I've done more swaps since my last post but my camera has been MIA lately. I finally found my charger though so I will try to keep up on pics!

Have an awesome weekend!

Last Sunday....

Last Sunday consisted of:

1. Breakfast in bed...the beloved and easy fried egg sandwhich.

2. Trip to Newport Beach to see family and hang out for the day

3.Sand in my shirt, undies, hair...and everywhere else and I never even ventured into the water.

4. A starfish...sorry didn't have my camera on me when we let it go :( I'm still kicking myself.

5. A long and peaceful drive home.

It was a beautiful day in Newport.

There were so many people on the beach compared to the last time we had the chance to visit Newport.

The breeze was wonderfully cool.

Hope we get the chance to visit again soon.
