I'm Bella

Ok, I finished my first book of Twilight (Thanks Clarissa) and I'm hooked. I took the quiz...and I'm Bella....what do you think? Does it fit?

"You are observant, diplomatic and often aim to please. You are unaware of your
attractiveness and despite being uncomfortable with any form of attention, people enjoy your company. You can be impatient, stubborn and headstrong, but you are true to your word and mature for your age, often taking care of your family and enjoying a good book over chatting with girlfriends on the phone. "

I think so...well, besides the "mature for your age" that I am not! :)

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas!

I am finally posting pictures of my decorations this year. It's very minimal (compared to my usual)...and I'm loving my purple and silver :)

This is my cute silver tree...and my new vase ...I love it (and see that cute dog...he stays even after Christmas--all year round decoration) :) Oh, and the "celebrate" is a decoration Clarissa gave me last year :)

My cute vase...I have seen this in other pictures...and I just had to do it, I love it :)

A poinsettia plant (last year after Christmas special--I got 2 of them)

My cute purple and silver wreath (after Christmas special again)

My cute Precious Moments Nativity. My granny started this for me, she bought me the Holy Family, and we have been adding pieces ever since. I think we finally got them all, or they stopped making it :).....I made that Silver Tree with Purple lights :)

Silver garland...I want a big purple bow, but I can't make bows....any volunteers? This silver one is just a filler :) And on top, my new advent calendar (a nativity) and a cute snowman I got from Clarissa last year :)

My cute Christmas Tree---silver and purple who would have thought? I got this tree for $25 the day after Thanksgiving last year, plus they gave me a $20 gift card, so basically, it's my $5 tree!

So, there you have it :) I'm not putting out my village, I love it, just no room at the inn!

More birthday pictures!

Thanks to my friend Stephanie for taking these of my cube at work :) Isn't my friend Stephanie gorgeous? I say that platonically (if that's a word) of course, but she's always so cute! :) She's also one of my friends who spoiled me on my very special day :) There were two other pictures to show of my cube, but I look so crazy! LOL

Sold!

Another one bites the dust! This one is sold! Come visit us...we have more patterns for Christmas!

I Scored!

Get your mind out of the gutter! I didn't score that way! I scored for my birthday! I had a great birthday and my family and friends spoiled me rotten!

Me at work! The girls decorated my cube all in pink (since they know how much I love pink---being sarcastic) and Julie bought me this tiara and earrings :0

This is my dad and my cake at olive garden....candles and mints! YUMMY!

My mom took me for a pedicure! It was awesome and I love my toes, don't mind my chubby feet!

My mom and dad gave me a steam cleaner, I think they were tired of me borrowing theirs all the time :)

My Granny bought me this embellishment center, it goes with my scrapbooking set up and I love it! I just wish I had all that stuff that is showing in the picture!

Heather got me this cute ornament! It's for Lucky and Me! So cute!

Monika got me this house for my village (the box is torn up from her dog, not mine) and Granny gave me an ornament (mailbox) and Lucky an ornament (Pluto)

I'm now officially cool! Clarissa got me the first 2 books of the most popular series...Twilight and New Moon (hint the other 2 books are in the present next to it for Christmas, she spilled the beans, I didn't peek)

Stephanie gave me the bath set and a subway gift card. Julie gave me the tiara, lipstick and pink headband, hair ties, and nail file. Heather gave me the book. Allyson gave me a DQ gift card. And Peggy and Rich gave me the reed smell good bottle :)

Here are all my wonderful cards! (I left my others with from the gifts on my desk) I have one from Granny, Grandpa, Lalene, Mom and Dad, Meghan, Monika and Michael, The Bishopric, and Heather.

THANK YOU all for remembering me and spoiling me! I had a great birthday!

Photo Shoot

It was sure fun trying to get Lucky to look at the camera, but I think we are too cute! :)

See the countdown? It's counted down!

Usually I'm shouting to all the world that it's my birthday, this year, not as bad! My countdown was only on here for 2 days! Well, today's the day! Happy 29th birthday to me! LOL Next year, I'm already dreading it! Anyway, I love my birthday and I love all you that have remembered! I'm grateful to be born into the family I was born in and for my life. Thank you everyone!

Thanksgiving 2008

Thanksgiving this year was great! Granny had us all out to her new house in Queen Creek. There were just 8 of us (Granny, Uncle Rod, Uncle Rusty, Branden, Sherry, Mom, Dad, and I) but we had so much food! Yummy! It was great! Thanks Granny!
