Make Over

Here I am and again I need to make some changes and I am starting with a new blog look. Do you ever think that really makes people come to your blog? I don't but it makes me feel good inside when I think of what we are given to look at around us everyday.

Second things is I was told I am type 2 diabetic. So this means I need to eat better, exercise and be healthier then I have ever been so I don't have to give myself any injections.  I did find a online friend and with support from other family and friends to help me start moving again. With it being winter and not working I need the push even more.

The third thing I really need to get things put together around my house. With 3 kids you would think I would have control but I am finding it is getting harder and harder to get them moving. Help me someone please ( take me away). The teen age years have hit and we all know what that can be like.

And now the last thing is I would like to get creative again. Maybe even get back to making homemade gifts. We will see what happens won't we. Oh and I want to keep reading  I love a good book.

So I am ready to start tomorrow is a new day and it will be day one.

Have a Great Day/Night and smile at someone today/ tomorrow. 

Hugs

Valentines/Pinterest

My day started with I need to get the Christmas decorations in the atic ( the atic opening is in my computer/craft room). It never happened tho. So I got out some of the craft goodies I needed to make a heart wreath.

• double sided scrapbook paper (couldn't find) so I settled with onesided
• stapler
• elmers glue 
• paper cutter

Sounds easy right.

I cut 8 1 inch strips (length 12 inches), folded them in haft, then put the open ends together to form a heart and stapled them (stapler broke). They are so cute (got stapler working so so, but working). I started glueing them together, got them all done and I look at it and thought what is going on. The glue made the paper wet and made it fold were the glue was. I just looked at it like oh my.

• adhesive tabs

So NOW I have to start over with a broken stapler. I cut all the strips, got the stapler to work and thought ok now get the adhesive. Wrong again the adhisive wasn't strong enough to with stand being held up 5 secs.

• raffia
• hole puncher

So I punched holes and tied them together.

for something I thought would be a fast project ened up taking a little longer. 

The example to make this came from  http://www.thehybridchick.com/2011/01/paper-heart-wreath/

Changes

 Everything is changing around me. 
 Just looking out my window and seeing the leaves falling off the trees, oh I love fall. It has to be the pretties time of the year.
 The kids are growing up way to fast, the things I have missed doing with them makes me sad but the things I have been able to do with them makes me smile.
 I have a home that is building more and more memories, even with the bad memories we are here and together.
 Friends that I don't get to see know that I have not forgotten about them, even if its just from a poke.
 My parents- Oh how much I love you two, we have had are ups and downs but you have always been there for me. I wish we could spend more time together.
 My son is starting a family, I hope that your life is full of smiles, laughter, and hugs. I love you baby and never forget it.
 And Layne I wish I could stand at your side like I did at one time, family is everything. I miss you more then you know. (note need to call Layne) LOL
 Grandma and Ed u are missed. Love you both.

 I hope everyone has a great day. Love Ya All
