Happy 53rd Birthday to me!!!!

You go girl!

I'm a winner!!!!

I got an email yesterday (I just opened it this morning) from Scrap-A-Way Retreats headlined:

"Congratulation to our basket winner". 

Now I'm thinking, OK, they are telling us who won, that's nice, someone won.  Then I read:

Hi there – we have randomly selected our scrapbook goodie basket winner from all March registrants for the Spring Fling Scrap-a-way!

 

Congratulations to CATHLEEN MOSES – your goodie bag will be waiting for you upon arrival!

 

Thank you,  Rosann

Shut the front door!  I actually won!!!  Now I'm thinking this is going to be a really great weekend!  How cool is that?  I will definitely post pics with the new mobile posting thing.   

I am so excited.  3 more days and I will be there.

Crafter's Companion Giveaway

Hello

Today is April 2nd.

I am posting because I need some inspiration.

I am posting because I just found Crafter's Companions' new blog site: http://crafterscompanion.blogspot.com/ 

They are having a great giveaway! 

This is the set that I would love to have.

Isn't it cute!

It is found at Lala's World Blog: http://lalasworldblog.blogspot.com/

On another note:

I will be going to the Scrap-a-way Retreat in Seekonk, MA next Friday after work!  I am there 3 days!  Three days to scrap and make cards on my own 8ft table!  Hotel, meals and fun stuff included!  Can't wait!

I wish I could say good things about New England weather.  It is April 2nd and still cold and dreary!  The snow is almost gone--that's a good thing!  I just wish the sun would come out more.  My drive to work is a bit better but still long.  Looking to move closer (to Brattleboro, VT) if anyone knows of a place between here and there.  Must love cats and be very spacious.  An old farm house would be good.  I'm pretty handy with tools.  (The whole crafting thing....lol)  

Be well and go out and be crafty.

Last day of February

    Well here we are on the last day of February and it is a nasty day out.  Sleet, freezing rain and a little snow.   Other than shoveling--which is my favorite activity (!) I feel like I have been stuck in this house for the last 3 days--days off I might add!   I did go out to get a few groceries the other day, but that's it.    It's depressing. My drive way is covered in a layer of ice, heavy snow, ice and now rain (aka: more ice).   ....And I don't even have a pair of ice skates!   I know, I know, they say that spring is coming.  They say that it is getting warmer.  Well,  gee I can't wait for spring to bring on the mud in my now frozen driveway!  I'm sorry I'm such a gloomy gus, but I truly do not like winter. 
   Crafting you say?  I wish I could say that I have been a crafting fool in this house but I can't.  I've worked on one mitten.  That's it--one mitten.  And it's not finished.  I really need a vacation of at the very least a few days away.  
    There is a scrapbook retreat coming up in April on my weekend off and I think I am going to go!  It is at Johnson & Wales Inn  in Seekonk, MA.  It's called the "Spring Fling Scrap-a-way Retreat and there is info on their website:     http://www.scrap-a-way.com/   Everything is included. 
    Well enough for now.  Not sure what I'm going to do for the rest of the day until I have to work tonight (11-7).  Pray that the roads are plowed I suppose.  
      And hey,  do check out my new link to Crafter's Companion.  Please.  They have some really cool scrap-booking and crafting stuff.   Thanks, Cathy    (I can dream can't I?)
