Greenwell Scrapbooking Retreat

I had a blast at the Greenwell 3 day crop. I was thrilled to get out of the house & mingle with friends. That alone was worth paying for.

I also made several pages, so I was tickled pink. I haven't been creative all year. My mojo left & I was afraid I wouldn't get it back. I'm now super charged & ready to do more pages & try my hand at card making again.

The food was awesome (ladies, you need to share those recipes). The lodge was really nice, and sits in a lovely setting. Then Jen had some games & prizes to top off the already fabulous time every one was having. It was a total blast & I'm so grateful to Jen, Angela & Mandy for organizing every thing. You ladies rock!

Two 'Fer

Michelle posted a Two 'Fer on her blog & I thought I'd play along.

1. Name two things you did yesterday/last night.
I did some scrapbooking & went to CVS.

2. What are two of your current favorite foods?
Anything warm & comforting since I'm already freezing & it's not even winter yet. I'm also a big fan of Mexican & Chinese food.

3. List two things you are looking forward to.
I'm actually looking forward to my surgery tomorrow, since I'm tired of being in pain. I'm also looking forward to working on some pages (imagine that!).

4. Name two things you fear.

I fear something terrible will happen to my boys.  I also fear I'll die before seeing either of them get married & have a child.

5. What are your weekend plans.
I'll be recovering from surgery, so I'll just be sleeping a lot.

Prescription Eye Glasses For $8!

Anyone ever ordered $8 eye glasses from Zenni Optical online?
I've read a few blogs, and all of them are positive. If you've tried them, I'd love to know what you thought.


For best results, I would get my eyes examined & measured. Then use that information to place an order. You could even find a frame you like from your favorite store and try to match it online. Look for the frame name and color, inside the frame.
