this & that

12/10/2007

i have a bunch of random things to share, so when that happens … i choose this & that for a blog title… i’m not stealing the title from our new bloger, melisseR, she actually has to pay me royalties everytime she updates her blog ๐Ÿ™‚

* on a sad note, my grandmother passed away friday. she was on my stepmothers side of the family, who is now an ex-step… but my grandmother and grandfather mccormack always kept in touch with me, they were at my highschool graduation, and wrote me letters every christmas and birthday…. her health was up and down the past couple weeks… but it is still sad, and you immediately regret not being in touch more :*(

* last night the {creative chicks} got together for our holiday gathering at acapulco’s as melissa pointed out on her blog.. i am lucky enough to be one of their top 20 friends ๐Ÿ˜‰ must be all those crazy birthday pics i have in my myspace photo album ๐Ÿ™‚ i got one of those snazzy wreaths from my bff, melissa ( the cutest one of course) and erin, melissA and melissER gave me a gift certificate towards my watcher tattoo….. that certainly was a tear jerker ๐Ÿ™‚

* i have started my holiday cards… all 90 of them ๐Ÿ™‚ i’ll post a pic of the progress, but can’t show much… they are SOO perfect for how my 2007 has played out!!

* i also got crafty for my secret pal, for stamp club at the store… hope she likes it!!

* you can see some sneak peeks of the NEW valentine images from a muse on the following a muse girls blogs: elena , michelle C, and novell

*catching up with lots of old friends on myspace, were planning an 11th year reunion for my highschool class (so typical of us not to get our act together for a 10th year) and its been a ton of fun… seeing where everyone is and what paths they took!

* the girl that didnt have a ton of holiday plans, has a pretty full schedule now ๐Ÿ™‚ a fun holiday party, christmas eve plans and plan on seeing my dad christmas day.. lee and i will drive up to cambridge for a nice dinner ๐Ÿ™‚

*i’m teaching my last class for 2008 wednesday at ink about it, were actually having a lil party to celebrate me teaching there for 2 years!! The evening class is full, but last i knew there were a couple spots left in the am class!!! hope to see you there!!

*phew.. i think thats enough for now… i’ll leave you with a couple pics of my holiday prep ๐Ÿ™‚

edited to add: watch in the next couple days i plan on posting some discontinued a muse stamps for sale!
