Day #26 - My Little Girl is Sick!
It is Monday afternoon and Gary, my ex-husband and best friend, is dropping Corianna off at my house. She was home from school sick this day and still wasn't feeling well. She ended up being sick for two more days....missing school a total of THREE days! Which is kind of a bummer because she had only missed one full day the prior semester and that was because she had to get her braces off. Unlike most kids, she does not like to miss school -ever!! She is all better now and back to her happy-go-lucky self!

My photos are coming....I swear!
Sheesh! I am so bad at posting each day... I have no problem getting the photos taken, it just takes a bit of time for me to get them up on the blog. I began a new "filing" system on my PC to simplify things for me and I think that will help me going forward. I won't go into all the details, because that would just take hours! But....rest assured, my photos are coming. I do realize that not many people are dropping by here just to read about my boring life, after all, you all have lives of your own to live. But! On the off chance you are here asking yourself, "Where are those photos I've been waiting for??"....now you'll know they're coming. LOL! I crack myself up.
Okay, so hopefully I'll have photos through Feb 8th posted soon. I also decided to start editing my photos, too, which is something I never did before; so that has added to my delay. However, I have been learning how to use Photoshop, so I might as well use it!!
Be back soon!

Day #25 - Mom, Sister & Me
In celebration of my big sister's birthday, we decided to go to dinner at a mexican restuarant that we have loved since we were kids. In attendance was: Me, my sister, my mom, my son, and Mark (my sister's boyfriend who WILL NEVER let us photograph him!)... It was a great night. I think my sister loved the big huge bag of scrapbooking goodies that I gave to her! We both have been paper scrappers for the last 10 years. She is very, very, very talented. As our kids get older, we've found more time to scrap together, but still not enough if you ask me! :-)
Happy Birthday, my dear sister! We love you!

Behind again! Dang it!!!
Life is so funny. One day I seem to have just a tad too much time on my hands, and the next, I am running around like a madwoman trying to figure out how I am going to get "everything" done!
I have photos for all days up through February 4 to post and I hope to do so by tomorrow! I still have to take my photo today, and then of course one for tomorrow... I figured it would be best just to do it all in one post! I do have some great pictures to share. I have had to really get creative, as I don't want to be flipping through my 2009 album next year saying to myself, "My gosh what a boring life!!!" Life is all but boring for us, so I have my camera on-hand at ALL times waiting for the right photo op. Now I will admit that some days are not so great, and these are the days when it is all of the sudden 9 pm and I panic thinking, "Omigosh, my photo!!! I have taken my photo for the day...!"
I have taken this project to heart and I think my family thinks I am a lunatic, but I know in my heart that next year when they are flipping through a beautiful album filled with the content of everyday of our lives, they will be fighting over who gets to hold the album or flip through the album first!!! The kids always complain that they had me taking their pictures, however, as soon as I bring out the HUGE boxes of photos for some organization, both kids dive right in and flip through the photos one-by-one!
I will be back to post each days' photo through Feb 6th tomorrow!

Days #21 - 24
I am back with more photos for P365!
Day #21 - Scrap Embellishments! Yummy!
This is what we have picked out to decorate my daughter's Valentine's Day Mailbox that we will be decorating in the next few weeks. The mailbox was purchased online and was manufactured by Creative Imaginations. It is awesome!!! I will post a photo once we have it decorated. We're still trying to find the perfect papers to match. Not sure if they will be digital papers, or papers from my stash of 10,000 sheets of patterned paper... we'll find something!
Day #22 - A visit to my daughter's school!
It was fun to pick my daughter up on this day, as we were able to work on a project together in her classroom.
Then we went to the art room and her art teacher allowed her to pull out her "portrait tile" that all of the 5th graders make. The tiles will be hung on the walls throughout the school even after they move on to 6th grade. They line the walls throughout the entire school and they're so beautiful. Cori had just started sculpting her tile on this day. It will be painted next week and I am excited to see the final results!
Day #23 - Off to the bookstore again!
My daughter has continued to ask me if she could read the Twilight book. I wasn't so sure it was appropriate for her age. She's 11 and I thought perhaps in a year or so she'd be "old enough"...However, after speaking to her teacher, he said it was actually approved reading material for the 5th graders and 3 or 4 of the students were currently reading it. Cori was so excited when we pulled into the bookstore parking lot on the way home from school. She didn't know we were going to get her the book. She's been glued to it!!
Day #24 - A 40 degree drop in temperature!!
Wow! It was literally 70 degrees yesterday and now it is only 39 degrees! Brrrrr..... I just love Colorado.
In this photo, also day #24, I tried to use my zoom feature to see if I could get a clear shot of the mountains. After a few clicks and some changing of settings, I was happy with the way this photo came out. I don't think I was in the greatest spot to take the photo...there are some roads that are higher than others where you can get a really great shot, but I did the best I could with where I was at the time. I am sure I will have multiple shots of our mountain view throughout the year. Each day the mountains can look soooo different depending on the weather, time of day, and/or where you're at when you snap the photo. I think the mountains are so beautiful! Once I learn more about my camera and its settings, I hope to get a shot worthy of framing. That is a lofty goal, as I am certainly no "Photographer!" So we'll see how that goes!
I'll be back again in a day or....four! Thanks for stopping by!

Day #20
Day #20 - My Son
This is a photo of my son, Joshua. It was just about dusk and I was picking him up from his friend's house. It was late in the day and I had not yet taken my photo for the day...so as I was pulling up to the curb, I quickly grabbed my camera and just snapped without really even looking at the display! I love the way the sky looks behind him; however, it's quite obvious that he wasn't ready for the photo! Nevertheless, I love it!
I'll be back with Day #21 later!

Days #18 - 19
Day #18 - Dry Sledding??? Yes... Dry Sledding...
Yes, my daughter and her friends were actually sledding down the sidewalk....no snow, no nothin'! It was quite hilarious, I must say! It really is amazing to me how kids find ways to play and make life fun. They're not going to let a little lack of snow ruin their day....are they!? LOL! It helps remind me to relax and have fun - despite the circumstance.

Day #18 photo 3 - Cori's Webkinz Heart
Yes, my daughter arranged her Webkinz into a big heart and then called me into her room to show me. She then came up with this game that we played for an hour and it was such a crack up!! Again, kids are so innovative! She took a locket and hit it under one of the animals and then I was allowed to ask her 5 questions to try and determine which Webkinz "had" the locket! It was quite funny and fun! And ya know what, as long as we're spending time together, it really doesn't matter what we play. It was really fun though...
Day #19 - The New Stampin' Up Catalog has Arrived!!!! YAY!!!
My daughter is a Stampin' Up! fan too! She is actually just as fanatical about scrapbooking as I am.
Ah, the beautiful new Idea Book/Catalog! I am in loooove!
And the new Decor Elements have blown my mind! I promise I am not selling my Stampin' Up! stuff on this blog, it just truly is a big part of my life. I have a totally different website dedication to my Stampin' Up! business....
I will be back with today's photo, Day #20, if all goes as planned! :-)
Hugs to all!
