Lucky I am...

I love this Man... I don't know what is today but I feel so very thankful for my husband today...

Maybe it's becase I came home from work and hanging out with my girlfriend Jeniece tonight to a SPOTLESS house... I mean he cleaned house... What a special treat!

Jeneice and I had fun tonight.. We met at http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com and then we made our way over to http://thescrapbookzone.com for a little shopping.. We also had some Baja Fresh and great conversation!!

Ordered some buttons today that are very yummy!!! WARNING- Enabler WARNING Proceed with caution!! http://www.acolorfulhouse.typepad.com/colorit

Thank goodness tomorrow is the weekend! I'm very excited to spend some quality time with my mom this weekend. I also am looking forward to getting some scrapping done...

I guess that's about all for tonight.. I'm going to sign off for now I want to watch Ugly Betty before I go to bed. I love that show ...

Okay so I'm a bad Blogger...
Let me see... What's new? Valentines Day has came and gone... Marty decided to buy me chocolate this year. Cell Phone that is.. I love it! He bought me the Strawberry Chocolate from Verizon... :)
I've been working on my scrapbook room all week. It's still not done but it's getting there. I had tons of organizing to do... See my clothes have to share the room too! That is the only down fall. But I'm really starting to get there. Next time my mom comes over she just may be shocked. Hopefully!!
I went Croppin at Scrappy Chic on Friday with my Peeps... ( Got that lingo from Staci) Jeniece, Sandi, Staci, Mom and I. It was really nice to hang out with my mom... I love scrappin with her.

Jeniece had some really cool paper and tags from Jenni Bowlins web site... You know I had to have them... Ordered them can't wait for the Brown truck this week...

Went to Target today they had some cute pastel buckets in the $1 spot. LOVE THEM!! ( You know I couldn't resist for a $1)

My goal for March is to start posting more pictures. That will be much easier to concentrate on once my room is organized!!!

Well I guess that's about all for now. I will post more this week!!

Thursday it is...

I love Thursday's... It's a great night for TV and tomorrow is FRIDAY!!
Marty is doing some work over at his mom's this weekend.. So I'm planning on getting in some scrap- time..

I want to finish up his Valentines Day book... If I get it finished a will post a picture this weekend.

I have some new sketches that I want to try out...


Can't wait for GREY's and Ungly Betty tonight!

Until later...

Winter is here....

For those of you that live in Michigan I think you will agree winter has found us... The weather has been pretty mild for this time of year until now... WOW it is cold out!!!!!

I had such a nice weekend... Marty and I hung out with his sister and her boyfriend on Friday. I'm really starting to appreciate my SIL more and more everyday.

Marty and I have been together for 7 years and married for 3 1/2 exactly to the day. But I feel like I have really started having my own relationship with Susan since my MIL was ill and in the hospital.

I think things have really changed for us since then. Even she and Marty seem to be closer. I think sometimes watching someone you love get so sick and worrying about what tomorrow will bring really changes how you view your relationships. WOW! That got a little deep... :)

Saturday- was an AWESOME day. I went to a scrapbook class and boy did I have a blast... It was so much fun!!!!!

" TOp 5 reasons I love you" - Mini book for Valentines Day... It's so cute. I can't wait to get it completely done! Marty will be very happy to receive it this Valentines Day. He loves it when I make his gifts.

I will post pictures once I finish it...

Got to spend some quality girl time with my chulita -Dawn. She and I have grown up together. It's been so long since she has scrapped that I forgot how much I missed scrapping with her. She and Scott were married in Oct. and are expecting their first child together in August... Dawn has 2 children from her first marriage... So needless to say she has a lot of scrapping to get done... I love it when she comes out to play!!!!

Sandy and Denise were also at the Class... I hadn't seen Denise in so long it was so nice to see her... She had some very cute pictures of her new granddaughter to share. She also showed me a family picture with her daughter she is so cute.. But then again look at her mom...

Jeneice was the teacher - as you all know she is so very talented!! The class was at my new favorite store http://www.scrappychiclivonia.com/.

Jeneice, Sandy and I stayed and cropped for a little while... Good times!

While we were at the class Miki came by to visit, shop and spend time with us... She did have to leave though and head over to hang out with her niece for a while.

She did return with her SIL Samantha, who is going to start scrapping they came to get an Album and walked out with 1/2 the store... Well it wasn't that bad... But almost.. :) We all remember those days...

I also did a little shopping... BIG surprise there...

1.Prima - flowers that were corduroy and velvet - LOVE THEM.
2.2 new 7 Gypsies stamps - The flower and a tattered square... AWESOME
3.MM Valentines Day paper love it - from the craft line... I love that paper

Can't Sleep

I know it's been a while since I have blogged life has just been so crazy lately.
Marty has been working very hard on the house and it's finally getting there...
We still have things to do but WOW does it look better!
We used to have this NASTY wall paper every where and he took it all down and painted...
Made some major improvements in the Bathroom, Family room, Kitchen and Dining room.
We also got new carpet and Family room furniture. It's a small room, but I love the furniture... It's from Lazy Boy... We choose the Brown, we already have our sofa the sofa chair and ottoman won't be here for a couple more weeks... Love it... Looks good in the room... Each side reclines on the sofa! Super comfy...

Brandi and Boomer aren't loving it so much... They are really having a few issues... But it's all about change! They will come around... I mean they really miss the old couch. I think they are working on a takeover of my side of the bed... They are way to spoiled...

Well in the morning if all goes well I will be getting a cardio version.. I have A-FIB to make a long story short its an electrical problem and they use the paddles and put you back in rhythm again. So I guess tonight I'm a little anxious and that's why i can't sleep...

So hopefully all goes well tomorrow and I will feel alot better! :)

Still a non= smoker and looking forward to feeling better so I can get on the treadmill!

Well I guess that's about all I have for now...

Random thoughts....

Happy Tuesday!!!!

I can't believe how fast the days go... I have so much to learn about this blog world... I would love to start posting pictures on my blog I just need to figure out where to store them to do that... Does Photo Bucket work?? Hmmm... I need to take the time and find out!!

Day # 18 as a non - smoker!!! I'm so freakin happy that I've made it this long... Hopefully that's a sign that I can stay strong and stay away....

I have a big crop this weekend... I'm so excited I'm heading down to my mom's for the whole entire weekend!!! I can't wait!! I'm teaching my first class to adults on Saturday.

I have taught 3 other childrens classes before. I can't wait to experience this with adults to see if I like it...

Signed up for a photo class for my Digital Rebel... It starts the second week in Feb. I can't wait to learn how to really work my camera that will be exciting...


Still trying to learn how to totally work my IPOD that Marty got me for Christmas.... Hopefully after I learn more about it I will totally love it...


I guess that's about all for now... Have a great day!!

Today is my Nephew Justin's B-day... Happy Birthday Justin!!! My first born nephew... WOW, I can't believe you are already 12 years old!! Where has the time gone.

He received Pistons tickets for tonight for Christmas from his mom. I sure hope he had a nice time at the game. His sister called and said that his picture was on the big screen TV. I'm sure he enjoyed that.

When I asked him what he would like for his b-day he said money, not from Aunt Carla you get a gift... So think about it and get back to me... He said okay...

Since he is my first, and I act like my sister's other mother... I feel a very special bond with him, although I know soon it won't be cool for him to think I'm so cool... Oh well I'll enjoy it while I can...




Happy B-day Justin! Thanks for giving me so much joy I love you!!

1 week down and a lifetime to go!

So Friday is the 1 week mark for me as a non-smoker.... :) I'm very excited about it... I know that I will be very happy about this as time goes on...

I haven't been feeling very good this last week so once I'm feeling better I hope to really notice a difference as a non smoker.

I can't wait to feel better so I can start using all the goodies I received from Santa Marty...

I got an IPOD- NANO Pink
He bought me a tripod and remote for my rebel - Thank you Jolene for the thought...
He also bought me some scrapping goodies from QVC and a few other little things... Not bad for a non- believer!!!!
I also received some very cool shoes
My mom bless her heart made me a really cool bracelet that I love so much.. Thanks mom!!!

I guess it's a bought time I hit the hay... Until next time... Lautner-OUT!

Happy New Year!!

Another New Year is fresh ahead of us and so many things left from the previous year that I didn't manage to see, do or complete.

SO, I decided that I wanted to approach the new year a little different this year. I'm going to make my goals on a quarterly basis. Hopefully I will only make goals that are achievable and I will accomplish them all...


So here it goes...

Q-1 Goals... Jan-Feb and March...

1. Find a church that Marty and I feel comforable at...
2. Loose 35 pounds - Not my final goal this is just for Q-1
3. Organize my Scrapbook Room
4. Blog 5 plus days a week...
5. Be a better wife... I think that I'm a pretty good one, however I would like to be better...
6. Quit Smoking - Smoke free for 4 days so far need to stay on track...
7. Limit caffeine -
8. Drink more water
9. Scrapbook More
10. Walk on treadmill 3 times a week.

There you have it... What are your goals???


TTFN

Here it goes...

Why not give it a try, right? Everyone knows that I totally love to read blog's so why not give it a try myself??
I love it when I stalk blog's and find out what new tips or ticks they can offer about the scrapping world...
So, hey I'm going to give it a try and see how it works...

I actually started Blogging on another site but I have found it to have limited funtion's...

So, I thought I would give Blogger a try...
