Free printables to download

Well it is day 365 !!!!
Project 365 is coming to a close. Tomorrow will be the last photo(s)! It's hard to believe that
I've made it. So many times I felt burned out! And I probably spent an average of 45 minutes a
day processing photos and blogging. But this record of one year in my life is already precious to
me. It is astounding. Looking back at the entries in my blog this year makes me so happy!
The ordinary in my life has become extraordinary. The everyday IS special after all.

One thing ends and several others begin! I'm excited to share with you some of my plans in
early 2010. I have several new things going on and I hope you'll continue to visit this ole blog of
mine as we share our lives with each other. I can't promise to blog every day after Project 365
ends, but I will definitely still be blogging regularly. :)


I have the tree still up but the rest is about all put away. I'm ready for the new bed to get here too. Ours is a King too..



These are some of the Elk in Knot County Ky.

Never to old to play in the snow



Just me having fun. I set up the tripod to get these. There were lots with me in them. I made
the snack mix and Rocky Road candy yesterday and not sure if I will make anything today.
I'm not in a really good mood, The day has only just started so I might get better latter. I pray
Sam has a better day today too. That's all I'm going to say about that !!!!!



Well just after this post Kelly called and asked if I wanted Grayson for the day while
her and Katelyn went XMas shopping and I jumped at it. Boy did we have fun !!!!!
We even have a new dog.. LOL we ate cooked and watched movies. We went out in the snow 4 times too. He takes good pictures to don't you think?
BTW Sam is in a great mood tonight..

Snowed in and no power

well I had my Christmas baking cut short Saturday morning after the cookies got
done the power went out.. and did not come back on tell today !!!!

When did the floor get so hard to sleep on ?? I guess it is age..

We had the whole house lit up it was romantic.. LMAO

We have Gas so we had hot water and the fire place.. I cooked on the grill with the
side burner. I have to admit I can do it but HATE it....

Sam and I did watch the new movie Couples Retreat on my computer before it died. It was really good too.

And now we have to clean up !!! Sam got the TV going again and I'm off to cook all the stuff that thawed out and clean out the fridge...
If I get it all done tonight I will go play in the snow and sled and even make a snowman for all my friends and family in Florida......

New Layouts




Here is what I have been doing the last few days...

Putting up my tree

I was not going to put up a tree this year but, one of the grand kids said I have to
because she will be here and open presents and we have to have a tree. Her mom is
in the proses of building a house and is not in it yet so she said there not having
one.
So yes I was shamed into putting one up, I'm not done yet but it is going to be blue
and silver this year and VERY small. It is the one I used in the motor home. It will
have to do..

I love my e-cig....

I quit smoking for my health. I vape for my own gratification. Period.

I have been busy doing layouts this week and still have not unpacked..
If I get done I will put up a tree this year.
