Christmas is coming....

Christmas cards are coming....BEFORE Christmas people! BEFORE the 25th! I can't believe it...no New Year's cards from me this year. Big accomplishment...HUGE! LOL

2016 has been incredibly busy for me--my job is demanding and fulfilling (working in the Operating Room--LOVE IT!), and while I haven't crafted as much as I planned to this year (or blogged as much as I intended), I am happy with what I did make, and the time spent was more fun.

Hope you're able to make some time for crafting for 2017

Why HELLLLLooooooo there, stranger!!!

I was quite horrified when I saw that it has been EXACTLY one year since I've posted on this blog!! HOLY CRAP! lol

Last year was a rough year....my dad was diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer (Thank GOD he is doing well right now!)....I changed jobs and went back to night shift nursing in the NICU. God Bless it I love those babies...but my body cannot work the mother truckin' night shift. But now....NOW thank GOD I've got a regular day schedule, life is good.
I held my monthly stamp class in June and it was FABULOUS to get back together with my friends and make some cards! So I have a lot to post! :D

But mostly.....look at the blinkie to the right of your screen....you see it? Understand Blue's UNWIND retreat that will be held before Stampin' Up's convention next Wednesday, July 16th! If you're going to be in Salt Lake City and want to learn some FUN crafty stuff, then sign up today! Space is limited!!!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Yes, I'm a "gamer"

We got back from our cruise 2 weeks ago (never EVAH again will I plan it so we have to drive home for 8 hours AFTER a cruise. Galveston all the way baby!!), had 3 days at home before hubby and I drove up to Dallas for Quakecon--4 days of Peace, Love & Rockets--a gaming convention sponsored by id Software.  Hubby and I bring up our desktop computers, and play video games with about 3000 other gamers in a huge room at the Anatole Hotel. So. Freakin. Fun.

This is called the BYOC=Bring Your Own Computer

While I was playing, a news crew came and interviewed me!  If you don't know my laugh, after this interview you will know why I say BWAHAHAHAHAHA on my blog!

I just realized I don't have any gamer stamps! Must remedy that!

I started back to work this week--preparing the school clinic for the new school year. I'm wiped out, and so glad I have a weekend to recoup! I'm going up to Austin to see my friend Lydia tomorrow and looking forward to our NOM NOM NOMs and BWAHAHAHAing! Watch out Austin, TX!!
