They found this nail kit project and decided to get it for something to do. All the beautiful and wonderful snow they are getting - they needed something to do inside. It took 320 nails to make it. It came out really well I thought. I have never seen anything like this before. On the package it says it was from the 70's. LOL.........they wasn't on the earth then. But hey, I think they did a fantastic job and thought I would share it with you. So the top photo is the completed results..........<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEm6bfbUFGudBc4C6wn5psJ0ytjNAVtREiJo5ZNNBMtK6hKLIAielIaZx-P1MFnw6zfCZhS7_0xr8zbYbrZ_8j-hPZWfXp9O70YoMYxGRnYbanHPdSGrxG5i_oP4WsH-xy1KE-xf2fUKk/s1600-h/nailplackfinished.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297957817456075810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEm6bfbUFGudBc4C6wn5psJ0ytjNAVtREiJo5ZNNBMtK6hKLIAielIaZx-P1MFnw6zfCZhS7_0xr8zbYbrZ_8j-hPZWfXp9O70YoMYxGRnYbanHPdSGrxG5i_oP4WsH-xy1KE-xf2fUKk/s320/nailplackfinished.jpg" border="0" /></a> The below photo is all the nails hammered in they took a side ways photo.

And man ole man, he can cook, so that is why I scrapbooked this page. Notice the little man in the upper right hand corner, it is something from Jolee's, he had tan mustache, eyebrows and hair, I just took a permanent marker and colored them black like Paul's. And the drill that he has in his other hand is what else Pauly does, handyman work. So how fitting was that for this page. This crock pot wonder he made was sauerkaut, polish sausage, kielbosa and italian sausage. Then he mixes alot of "special" ingredients in it and WAAA LAHH......it is something Dutch. He is 1/2 Dutch. I tasted everything, but the sauerkraut, not into that, sorry. But the meat was outstanding......Enjoy!!!!!</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSkNHm5KKI6m2j0Ra9tuhznjsDKOEcEFvgKxqey2CjRATRT0WItrGMtmDLWXiSggFdrF3aRSvqqolu_5c74uT8Z7sBGjfyQnZZzg0QCntMGBaeaP00_cWv1aDpItEUMPWAw_2bKram7s/s1600-h/paulycookin.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295620814644202610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSkNHm5KKI6m2j0Ra9tuhznjsDKOEcEFvgKxqey2CjRATRT0WItrGMtmDLWXiSggFdrF3aRSvqqolu_5c74uT8Z7sBGjfyQnZZzg0QCntMGBaeaP00_cWv1aDpItEUMPWAw_2bKram7s/s320/paulycookin.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-59164012326491231432009-01-26T07:08:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:12:43.400-08:00CHRISTMAS-2008<span style="color:#ff0000;">This page I created today - is me and my hubby standing in front of the Christmas tree. Believe it or not it is the only picture that I have. LOL.....we are usually the picture taker's. So this is the only one that I had to scrapbook. My hair looks like I just came in from a wind storm and he is looking at me. Oh well, it's us.

Our friend Paul worked for a company that was on television all the time. He surprised me and sang me Happy Birthday on TV while they were broadcasting live. I was so excited and it made me feel really good.

We all met one morning and had breakfast at a restaurant called Tiffany's. The food was good but not as good as the company, not saying they had bad food or nothing. The baby his name is Damian and at the time is was 9 months old. Drew is holding him in the upper left hand side and the other two is Damian's Dad Chris. Once again, brazzil paper, and things cut out of the slice. I just love the slice. </span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Enjoy, please tell me what you think!!!</span>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-26206211097241191502009-01-12T14:21:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:28:08.158-08:00ANOTHER PAGE FOR MY WONDERS & BEAUTIES ALBUM<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxhwA9A7l4RRcwHpoaWROuDndeOiEvXB6whBVNHUbr8GeT7wb6Ql5Ro8WV_McfGpnDrU6YikOtCNeLJrADkRVesJToGyzK0BcvZL0tM7ZSOw2IHgYNX_jXi8qLOl1djawLypI7MDw0cs/s1600-h/wonderandbeautybook.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290536324921116370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSxhwA9A7l4RRcwHpoaWROuDndeOiEvXB6whBVNHUbr8GeT7wb6Ql5Ro8WV_McfGpnDrU6YikOtCNeLJrADkRVesJToGyzK0BcvZL0tM7ZSOw2IHgYNX_jXi8qLOl1djawLypI7MDw0cs/s320/wonderandbeautybook.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">This is another page that I complete today (Monday 1/12/09), just misc. pictures that I had taken of purdy stuff that I came upon. Of course, I used the brazzil cardstock and that wonderful pen from my scrapbook store. The upper 1st and 2nd picture is of a Rooster that we came across at a garage sale down in Arizona, I have never seen a Rooster this pretty. The picture that is to the right, that the lights are glaring off of...is a sunflower that we found in a field of weeds and it just stood out like something from Heaven, so we couldn't pass up taking a picture of that. Then the last one, was when we were out driving somewhere in Arizona and was the prettiest rainbow I had ever seen, I didn't think after taking the picture that it would show up in the photo but it did and I was very thankful. So this page here will go in my Wonders and Beauties of Life scrapbook when it gets to be where I am. LOL</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Enjoy!!!

The lazy susan flower was picked by my hubby and given to me one day recently, he is always doing stuff like that. It was just so beautiful I had to take a picture. The other picture is what I call a lemonaid tree. The flowers are so so so beautiful, reminds me of something you would find all over in Hawaii. When you smell the flowers it smells like lemonaid, hence the reason why we call it the lemonade tree. I cut the pictures out with some zig-zag scissors, put them on the page and once again used my white pen for the journeling.</span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">I should tell you that I started a scrapbook called "The wonders and beauties of Life", if you check out my older post you will see the page that I did saying that. This page will go in that book when I get my stuff moved from Arizona to Florida. Right now I am just putting everything in one book. But that is where this page will go. Life always has such beautiful things in it everyday and I always find the time to look at it. Little things make me so happy and finding flowers and such like this - well I just LOVE it. </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">So this is what I did on Sunday (1/11/09), I got six pages done, YEAHHHHHH!</span></div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-37819527202213522502009-01-12T07:19:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:24:31.896-08:00SUPER BEST FRIEND<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-SCRJj4NyBUCa3eXnZUN5zEU57U-ltGeN2tk-QRIxoklCuS6SKg_R35AizW90voaqz7FHhVm7g_1N4LMmk6L6C9iUjl9-nVKkFBpoGa2cPyDTIIe2PQFxoPAikvWdC-COVaBc0bhJiE/s1600-h/superfriendcathy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290427304492551330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK-SCRJj4NyBUCa3eXnZUN5zEU57U-ltGeN2tk-QRIxoklCuS6SKg_R35AizW90voaqz7FHhVm7g_1N4LMmk6L6C9iUjl9-nVKkFBpoGa2cPyDTIIe2PQFxoPAikvWdC-COVaBc0bhJiE/s320/superfriendcathy.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#ff0000;">This page that I completed - is my bestfriend from Arizona. It is just different facial features that I loved. So I cropped them down and put this together. The bronze colored stickers are just stickers, they are not cute out from my Slice. Then instead of journeling with my white pen, I used a gold one, to kinda color coordinate with everything. When she see's this on here, she is probably going to cry, but that is my Cathy. Things like this effect her and I the same. Because I can just hear her saying "Wow, Ellen did a page just of me!" and I know her that she will feel so honored. But like I said the photos are some of my favorite taken one day while she was at my house in Arizona. So, Cathy, I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU terribly.</span><br /><div></div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-57916521596397678012009-01-12T07:10:00.000-08:002009-01-12T07:18:49.465-08:00A JOURNEY WITH US....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWCM2Xr5G7e3hrTel2Vi2j-QR53LvWH0KGin4NN5EfEd-EPdpRtl_U4YU0vJ2sF-Tp8ahw-OBbETqcl3MoIMm_6apZdkEmcNDQdtMBSzkNc-KygW-QNN6GmUFyUCAAjw2MtaaTFPSVHE/s1600-h/ajourneywithuspg1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290425155480721618" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWCM2Xr5G7e3hrTel2Vi2j-QR53LvWH0KGin4NN5EfEd-EPdpRtl_U4YU0vJ2sF-Tp8ahw-OBbETqcl3MoIMm_6apZdkEmcNDQdtMBSzkNc-KygW-QNN6GmUFyUCAAjw2MtaaTFPSVHE/s320/ajourneywithuspg1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmkC3XchOim2IAnMVtlEEWN4vIPs6V86PANpDtcQ338RvTqDwuBvzT2L-x5Vov00Zr9vzLV9iM-wkWPS_g7FJetklLpdLN7SzPt1-EmsoVz9ZIvwqtJBOiHdEsOasQjMlcLOx8Pyg3dg/s1600-h/ajourneywithuspg2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290425055832644226" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOmkC3XchOim2IAnMVtlEEWN4vIPs6V86PANpDtcQ338RvTqDwuBvzT2L-x5Vov00Zr9vzLV9iM-wkWPS_g7FJetklLpdLN7SzPt1-EmsoVz9ZIvwqtJBOiHdEsOasQjMlcLOx8Pyg3dg/s320/ajourneywithuspg2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ok, I know you are looking at this and going "what is this?.. I'll tell you the story cuz you can't see my journeling that I did. My bestfriend in Arizona and her hubby went on an "Elvis Cruise" and she told me that she made herself a daily journel. So she could write it in everyday while she was gone. Then she kept saying "Your probably not even gonna miss me while I am gone", so I decided that I would write in a journal everyday while she was gone on what I was doing and how much I missed her while she was gone. Well low and behold, their cruise was caught up in the Hurricane Gustoff and they were kept at sea 4 extra days. Alot of prayers were said and I lit a candle for her and her hubby, cuz she always lites a candle when she prays for certain people and she is a CERTAIN person to me, so that is what I did. When I gave her this journel book and let me tell you it ended up being 35-40 pages long (with graphic and all), she was in such dis-belief, cuz no one had ever given her such a gift. </span></div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;"></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ff0000;">It made me and my heart feel so good because I really know that she will treasure it always.

The white writing that I did, is that white pen I got at the scrapbooking store here in my town, Palm Harbor, they are on my favorite blogs, check em out. I don't know what I have done before without that white pen. However I did look it is not a gel pen. Enjoy looking! If you want to know what this white pen is email at <a href="mailto:eflower@cox.net">eflower@cox.net</a>, and I'll send it to you whatever it says. Or I could go and get more and just mail them to you if you wish, just let me know. </span><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p></div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-21154501479214873742009-01-08T12:42:00.000-08:002009-01-08T12:46:34.048-08:00BLOG CANDY FROM 1 OF MY FAV.

We found a scrapbooking store and we went. I am so bored with nothing to do. Thank heaven I have a very NICE husband. I got the new Slice. And have made somethings and thought that I would post them on here, so you all could see them. This first one is one that I experimented on using the machine and ended up putting them on a 6x6 piece of paper for my loving husband, then stickled lightly over them. Hopefully the picture comes in good enough for you to see.........the word that is very shiny is love.</div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-5478128500052379992009-01-04T08:19:00.000-08:002009-01-04T08:22:05.983-08:00oh oh oh blog candy from a great siteStarving Artist has some blog candy that they are giving away.

She is my bestfriend! She has creativity the like's of which you have never seen! I am going to start to post what she creates on my blog. I told her she needs to share what she creates and she is bashful and doesn't think no one will think what she makes is good enough. But I keep telling her that everyone will love your work. So with her permission I am now going to post her stuff on my blog, since I am in the middle of a move and all my stuff is packed up. So please leave comments as to what you think, then she can get in here and read what you all think. I think she will be surprised at the responses she will get.<br /><br />So help me convince her that her stuff is really good, and she really has talent! Judge for yourself and leave your comments. Think of yourself at a craft fair or trying to create a memory of an event or just "playing around" being crafty. I haven't got the kind of talent that she does and you'll see that she sure does.

I just love the little booties :)......so this is the front and the back of them.<br />GOOD JOB CATHY!!!!!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh12VAtD1MxUAShLh0wIoO4lho30QKUWLnJ9W0MMS7-GO4bTyxKunyWg9Qyo4Svt3baMqymvtDx7e4l-ukZuQFJ35jmGoX11ubP336EX_bpR4pzIOgWuhimD9OGWaucM0kjrRGZHpfLfmQ/s1600-h/craftycathy2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277919866589702354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh12VAtD1MxUAShLh0wIoO4lho30QKUWLnJ9W0MMS7-GO4bTyxKunyWg9Qyo4Svt3baMqymvtDx7e4l-ukZuQFJ35jmGoX11ubP336EX_bpR4pzIOgWuhimD9OGWaucM0kjrRGZHpfLfmQ/s320/craftycathy2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhTx_R5Jh1F-qwaFYtXLKuXHhias74KiPw7fRGwx9DlBVKu6oy_HYU0W8fI1dPnCb9rwEsiwa3_mRD9WsprclKYDzhcUCTGXD5NEH4ZG-_d4T1MTcdsHDWvfQHEaqn-7AKNokXZdyriM/s1600-h/craftycathy1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277919666178939042" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbhTx_R5Jh1F-qwaFYtXLKuXHhias74KiPw7fRGwx9DlBVKu6oy_HYU0W8fI1dPnCb9rwEsiwa3_mRD9WsprclKYDzhcUCTGXD5NEH4ZG-_d4T1MTcdsHDWvfQHEaqn-7AKNokXZdyriM/s320/craftycathy1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p></p>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-51919437466261190992008-11-04T17:08:00.000-08:002008-11-04T17:19:39.850-08:00PEOPLE AND LIFEI just wanted to come here and vent.........Do you ever wonder why people treat other people like they are nothing, but yet again when you treat them the way they treat you, they get mad. I know it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. But why do people do this? They don't even know that they are pushing other people away because they can't see what they are doing. It is sad! I was always raised to treat people like you would want to be treated. I still do that to this day. I can see when people are sad, mad, happy or glad or whatever mood they are in. If I can help make their day I do. I am a people person and would so very much like for everyone to be happy. But I know that is impossible! I just can't once again figure out why people just can't see what they are doing to other people. You try, try and try and you get shoved, shoved and shoved away. I don't know about you, but you get tired of being shoved away after you have tried so many times. At the end of all of this the people that are not happy with life is going to be left all alone and maybe just maybe they will wake up but it will be too late. I am so confused on how to deal with people like this. <br /><br />Any advice anyone has, please let me know.<br /><br />My email is: <a href="mailto:eflower@cox.net">eflower@cox.net</a><br /><br />P.S.

We are in Florida and what a fantastic welcome home did we ever have. My second son Drew is still skinnier then a stick. Our friend Paul M. is still happy go lucky and drives like Mario Andretti. I have already had one massage from my friend Melisa and boy oh boy does she do a VERY VERY good job. We are living in a hotel still. We just signed a lease today with a lady up in Harbor Palms. Just thought I would let you all know we were here.....Talk to you later and keep that fancy work of yours keep going it all looks REAL good.Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-8460404852601757012008-10-18T18:17:00.000-07:002008-10-18T18:30:31.917-07:00UPDATEWell hello everyone:<br /><br />I haven't posted in awhile, it's been a zoo around here. Well they have released me from Tucson, I'm free white and 21 again, LOL, well I have a few stones, but he thinks they will pass. I have been battling an urinary tract infection for 3 weeks now - trying this antiobiotic and this one and I think possibly they may have found one now finally, it is Keflex. I have now taken 6 pills and my pee is looking better, still hurts after, but I'm dealing with it. <br /><br />Ok, now what is happening now is..................I know I mentioned that we are moving back home to Florida. Well it has been pack pack pack pack pack and more packing. Geez how does a person get so much stuff. We are almost done - 95% I would say. We will be leaving soon, so I will be without the internet for awhile. They don't have where we are going the internet people that we have here, so I don't know who we are going to pick. I'm very excited to get back down there, I can already smell the salty air. And just picturing myself on the beach, geez what else could I want...........Maybe perhaps a house that would be good. We thought we had a couple, but when the inspections went through, they came back really bad. So we decided just to go there and pick them ourselves and we would be able to be there for the inspection and what not. After finding a home we will then have the movers come here and get our stuff and move it down there for us. Then of course comes the un-packing, but I don't think that is as bad as packing. At all!!! We found out today, that a friend of a friend needs someplace to rent and we think we are going to rent to their family. YEAHHHHHH, cuz we can't get what we even paid for this place right now. That way MAYBE in a year or so when the housing market picks back up we could sale and get more for it then we could now. And too this person is a very trustworthy and honest person and that made me and my hubby feel so good. <br /><br />Our puppies (kids) are doing good, the five days on the road, well my eyes might be crossed by the time we get there (3 puppies), they are not exactly puppies but that is what we call the group of them. We have been putting on their collars and putting out their temporary cages (for the car) and letting them play with them to try to make this transaction better. <br /><br />Well I think that is all for now. We are temporarily planning on leaving the end of this month. But if the packing gets done earlier we will be leaving then.<br /><br />Keep up the magnificant work on the cards and stuff that you all are making, I keep checking everyones blogs and they are all fantastic.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />EllenElleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-42694240069359793302008-08-12T17:12:00.000-07:002008-08-12T17:26:48.975-07:00KIDNEY STONE UPDATEWell we just got back from Tucson today (8/12/08) from the re-check from my left kidney surgery. I'm good to go. But remembering I still have the stents in both sides. What he would like to do is, for me to go in sometime in September (hopefully the middle of) and go up and crush and suck all the kidney stones that are all ready accumulating on my right side (yep, I already had that side done before my left side and they are growing again) and then take out the stents. He said that would be done as an outpatient (YEAHHH), they will lightly put me to sleep do it and at and at it I will be, HAR HAR......We'll see!!! So that is the update for now.<br /><br />We are waiting on the inspection papers for our house in Florida, the inspector is really slow and we have to have it before Friday(8/15/08) because that is when our 10 days are up and we don't want to lose the earnest money we put down. So my hubby is on the loose and not making people very happy right now. The inspector has had over a week now and we still don't have the report. I'm trying to think "NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" but I am beginning to wonder. So tomorrow something will happen, I just don't know what. Keep your fingers crossed.<br /><br />You all keep making beautiful stuff, as I get the time I go and look at it all and you all still amaze me with your creativity.<br /><br />Hugs, EllenElleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8950554000438947327.post-15139079290822672022008-08-01T16:46:00.000-07:002008-08-01T17:04:20.568-07:00ANNOUCEMENT<div><div>Well today is August 1st, 2008. My home health aid nurse came and guess what...........after she scrapped me off the ceiling, she took off my scab and the hole is closed. So that means I can take a SHOWERRRRRRRRR all by myself. YEAHHHHH.......Still can't go swimming in our pool until after I see the surgeon on August 11th. I'm thinking about calling down there and telling him since August 15th is my birthday that he should give me that days office visit for free, do you think he'll agree? LOL So after August 11th, hopefully he is going to take out the stents that I have in both sides now and turn me lose..............Watch out world.<br /></div><div>But what have I been doing in the mean time..........resting of course, butttttttt, been doing my exercising like I am suppose to do, and in the beginnning and shoot even right now I am sore and get tired pretty quick but it is getting easier everyday. Well here is the big butttttttt. My hubby and I am decided to move back to where we love it the most and that is FLORIDA. So my exercising in the last couple of days have been going through stuff and packing, keep or putting it in a box for a garage sale. We plan on being down there in 90 days (after 8/11/08 Doctors visit). We are currently looking at a couple of houses. The ARIZONA heat, which I know everyone tells me that it is a dry heat is so bad. Today (well right now it is 114 degrees) it is so hot. Yes it is like walking into an oven, but you can't get out. We use to live in the Hollywood, Florida area and we loved it there, but traveling, it just takes to long to get out of the state of Florida, so we agree to go on the other coast (West) and go 1/2 down, where it doesn't get to cold but yet it is warm. So we have decided on the St. Petes/Seminole/Tampa area. We really prefer Seminole, but you know how things go. I know, you are probably thinking but it is so humid there. But after living on the beach, you always have a breeze from the beach and with the humidity, yes you sweat but the breeze cools you right off. So we are excited but yet busy.<br /><br /></div><div>It just seemed I got my scrapbook room all organized and now I have to pack it all up. :( But we will be much happier there and I know it.<br /><br /></div><div>Well that is all I have for now. You all take care and I am back on here everyday checking to see what you all are creating and it looks like you all are doing a GREAT job, keep it up. </div><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzg5EyRn4tQog8W35SFTLHiHqWEALSy3sYrpCcRrJWJ1jogolwS8BqAsJ3KiI7vI3ZGfNV1rnaTmPjnNEAncWWGykjtRLhAk-_oLGzBpFtxLF5Y3t7Z6vGgLam0jVF9ZF5XznWG6xMkkU/s1600-h/My+Signature.bmp"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzg5EyRn4tQog8W35SFTLHiHqWEALSy3sYrpCcRrJWJ1jogolwS8BqAsJ3KiI7vI3ZGfNV1rnaTmPjnNEAncWWGykjtRLhAk-_oLGzBpFtxLF5Y3t7Z6vGgLam0jVF9ZF5XznWG6xMkkU/s1600-h/My+Signature.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229703600366973602" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzg5EyRn4tQog8W35SFTLHiHqWEALSy3sYrpCcRrJWJ1jogolwS8BqAsJ3KiI7vI3ZGfNV1rnaTmPjnNEAncWWGykjtRLhAk-_oLGzBpFtxLF5Y3t7Z6vGgLam0jVF9ZF5XznWG6xMkkU/s400/My+Signature.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Elleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01132689910731097160noreply@blogger.com3
