Yippee!

Blogger has stopped misbehavin' finally!

Isn't it frustrating when Blogger is acting up? The good news is they seem to have worked out the kinks today, so here is my card. I used this weeks sketch again, which is so simple! I love simple layouts! I'm all about getting done with something and movin' on. I hope you'll get a chance to try the sketch too. Be sure and check out the gallery over at SCS. The search code is SSS1.

Guess who makes these luscious papers??? If you guessed Basic Grey, you guessed right! This Sultry line contains lots of my two favorite colors.....pink and green!

This time, in place of the ribbon, I used a strip of Tim Holtz' grunge board. I bought some a long time ago and hadn't figured out a way to use it yet until this card came along. I painted the board with an Adirondack paint dabber (Lettuce) and then glued it down where the ribbon was supposed to go. Instead of using an image AND a sentiment in the lower right corner, I chose to just go with a sentiment this time round. The flowers are from SU and are held together using a jeweled brad.

Well, yesterday and today have been really busy. That's why I didn't get around to posting yesterday or today, until now. As I've said before, BSF takes up all my time in the early part of the week, so not much time to either stamp or post, {{{insert sad face}}}. The other thing bumming me out is that a chest infection has taken up residence in my lungs, which is NOT a good thing for me. As soon as I felt it coming on yesterday, I started the antibiotics. I have a funny feeling it's going to be turning into laryngitis soon! I also seem to be sneezing alot this afternoon, but I think that's allergies, yuck! I should NOT be having allergy problems after enduring allergy shots for 2 years!!! This is typically my bad time of year, so I'm bracing myself for the worst and plan on doing nasal rinses every night to wash out the allergens lurking in my nasal passages. Have any of you ever done nasal rinses? Or the neti pot? I first saw a neti pot used on Oprah. I thought it was the strangest thing. But people suffering from allergies and other sinus problems swear by it. I got the nasal rinse from my allergist a few months ago, and I used it a few times, but then stopped. Now I need to go to the store and buy some more saline packets so I can get started again. Drop me a note if you've used one of these and what your thoughts are on them. Did you see an improvement in your symptoms? Did you hate it? I would love to know what you think!

Well, it's time to go get ready for din-din. I made this pot roast today and it smells heavenly upstairs! Hubby is going to make some mashed potatoes and then we'll be set. After din-din it's time for Idol! I hope Carly has a great week, they are SO hard on her, she needs a break!

Hugs,
