Yep, Another Quiz

Ok, I really haven't done these in awhile. Maybe I should have another blog for these things because I really do love them! This one I find amusing because all I drink is Diet Coke, and yes I am addicted =)




You are energy in its purest form.
No need to complicate things with sweetness.
And while people may hate your aftertaste,
you are seen as a necessary evil.

Your best soda match: 7 Up

Stay away from: Coke

You Are Diet Coke

What Kind of Soda Are You?

New Goodies Coming Soon

Hi ya'll. Cold enough for ya? It's -1° here with a windchill of -19°! Very, very windy and snowy. In between all my domestic diva duties, I've been trying to finish up at least one kit out of the how ever many I have started now. It's almost done...black and pink theme, and will also have a FTU add on. Also have a FTU paperpack coming out and who knows what else, lol. Should be done by Tuesday I hope. Tomorrow is the big day for my step daughter to come home, so I'll be busy most of the day. Will see you soon with an update...promise! Until then, stay warm kiddies.

New Christmas Tag

Uploaded a new tag to Fotki today for request, "Christmas Past". I'm particularly fond of this one. I have about 20+ tag bases, but I'm hoping to use some Christmas money (that's a hint for my list, lol) to get some new tubes to use. When I get back to work watch out MPT and CILM!! I'll be a shopping mad woman. Anyway, if you'd like to have a tag for yourself, hop on by Fotki (image direct linked to exact page) and leave a note so I know to make ya one.



Not sure how much I'm going to accomplish next week, or the end of this week for that matter. My step daughter is coming home for Christmas and it's a total surprise to everybody hehehe. This will be her second Christmas with us in ten years. I'm picking her up from the airport Monday morning and taking her to hubbies work. He's been saying how he wished things were better so we could drive down to see her for Christmas. Like I would turn down the ocean! We haven't seen her in a year and a half so I'm so excited (just in case you couldn't tell). Texting and phone calls just aren't the same. I really wasn't looking forward to the holiday, but this surprise for him is making me anxious! I had to work to convince him that we needed a tree and I needed to decorate. Had some issues with the tree base leaking after he had the lights and garland on it, so his cousin had to bring his base over and they had to transplant it. Over a gallon of water is in my carpet and I can't get it to dry. I felt silly wearing flip flops to decorate the tree to keep my feet dry. If it wasn't snowing, I could've convinced myself it was warm and sunny, lol. Ok, so I would have also needed a drink or two. A little Malibu...some pineapple...

Anyway I'm starting to ramble so... if I don't get to post before then...I wish all of you and your families a safe, peaceful holiday season and may we all be blessed with warm, fuzzy memories to cherish for years to come.

Twilight

I was finally able to see Twilight tonight and OMG!!! I LOVED it!!! My niece said it was slow, but I was so wrapped up in it I guess that I didn't notice lol. To have that kind of forever love is the thing that I think we all want, and the way that they are drawn to each other *dreamy sigh*. The books are on my Christmas list, so hopefully SO pays attention, considering that is the only thing on there *hint*. I had taken the quiz a while ago, I'm glad I saved the results.

Hello my little punkins

While I was waiting for my nails to dry today (a nice French manicure for the wedding I have to go to tomorrow), I used that as an excuse to play. I have some BCA tags up for you to choose from. I have a couple more I want to get done too. I'm off to decide what I'm going to wear, and yes, I waited til the last minute, lol.

I've added two more tags today to my Fotki album for request. As usual, if you select the tag, it will take you to the albums. Also, be on the lookout for the Truly Inspired Halloween Trick or Treat coming up in a week or so. I have mine all done and ready to go...I can't wait!! Other than that, not been up to creating much. I spent a lot of time on my couch trying to sleep off whatever I caught now. A cross between a cold, flu, and dying. I'm sure everyone enjoys the no voice days =) Hopefully on my next update, I'll have some BCA tags for ya! Have a great night.

My Name's Hidden Meaning

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous. You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things. Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

Crayola

Yes, unemployment has gotten the best of me...I was visiting the Crayola site. I should leave it at that, but I can't have your opinions of me reinforced by my own silly statements. I was on a blog, obviously it belonged to a mommy, and she took this color test where you had to name the colors of crayons. Well, she named all 64 and only made 12 mistakes. Sounds easy. I made...are you sitting down...of course you are, you're at your computer...or someone's computer anyway...yes, I'm stalling...I made 44 mistakes! How the hell hard is it to name a crayon?! Well, I choose all the artsy names that I thought sounded better, they went a little more basic. So, Crayola, when you come up with a line of crayons for adults, call me. I have your names!

New Tags for Offer

Well, I'm at it again. I've made more tags that I'm going to upload to my Fotki album (link over -->). Here's some examples just in case you are feeling curious. I tried to make a wide range for everybody out there...

Truly Inspired Blog Train

Just to let all of you know, if you check my blog roll on the left hand side, that means over --> for those of us that can't tell our left and right, you will see a list for Truly Inspired. This is a wonderful, creative group that I belong to. Anyway, they are currently doing a blog train collaboration with some of the most beautiful graphics that I have seen, and the best part - they are free!! For those of you that do not know, you go blog hopping and pick up kits from each of the artists listed and all the kits are of a particular theme and colour scheme.

So Where Have I Been

So where have I been you may ask? Well, even if you didn't ask, I'm tellin' ya! The creative bug has hit me and I have been tagging and surfing tagging and tutorial sites. I have finally jumped on the bandwagon, and have decided to start offering my tags that I have made. That would make more sense than letting them sit on my hardrive and collect dust. If you go here to my Fotki site, you will see about 30+ offers that are current. All these have been made this year. No need to rush and request til your little heart is content, they will there for awhile, lol. Hope to see ya there =)

Why I Am Up Til 4 am

I don't know if being unemployed has been good for my muse or what, but there are some nights that I can't even go to bed. I was up til 4 am twice last week scrapping/tagging. I originally started to follow templates by Kim Hill and then it took a life of it's own. The template is for 2x3 keychains, but I'm also using it for photo frames. I have used tubes from various artists to represent family since I don't want to post them *they will kill me!!* What started the last round of creativity is somebody in Truly Inspired sent through a link to Berry Bliss and things went downhill from there, lol. You know the usual line, " but they were having a sale". I have found some more favorite artists, like I really needed to do that. I bought a lot of Teresa's sets and when I have more money, I'm really going to go empty some internet shelves =)

15 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

Ok, I sent the link to Scott, do you know that he got a 68? Um...how?

Now, he's taking the test as if he were me...results...5!! Now isn't that some love?!

A Mosaic of Me

I have seen this on several different blogs and I thought it was a pretty cool idea.

The Concept:

a. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
b. Using only the first page, pick an image.
c. Copy and paste each of the URLs for the images into fd’s mosaic maker (I used the bighugelabs.com mosaic maker).

The Questions:

1. What is your first name? Debbie
2. What is your favorite food? chocolate
3. What high school did you go to? Springfield
4. What is your favorite color? pink
5. Who is your celebrity crush? Vin Diesel *yummy*
6. Favorite drink? Diet Coke
7. Dream vacation? ocean
8. Favorite dessert? ice cream
9. What you want to be when you grow up? photographer
10. What do you love most in life? freedom
11. One word to describe you. shopaholic
12. Your flickr name. don't have one

So, I guess then this is me...
