Today is shaping up to be a great day. The tire is fixed on the van. YEAH!!! It is gorgeous outside today +4 is the forcasted high. I'm going scrapping with a bunch of friends tonight.I really need to get out of the house. I hope my creativity is flowing tonight when I get to my favorite place to play...Just Scrap IT! It's the last Friday of January which means winter is sort of maybe kinda coming to an end? only a few more weeks and we should be able to smell spring in the air. It has been such a long winter because it has been so cold. You know that kind of cold where your nostrils freeze shut when you breathe. I hope to get some photos taken this weekend of pages I have done so keep checking back to see what I have come up with.

Do you ever feel as though LIFE is hurling at you at 100 MPH? Speed bumps, road hazards,sharp bend in the road,Bridge washed out? You know the hole 9 yards. It feels like that some days. Yesterday afternoon I was waaayyy late leaving to pick the kids up from school...so I already know this is not going to be a good trip across the city. I was stopped at a red light when the driver of the vehicle behind me got out of his jeep and started walking up to me. I thought oh no this isn't going to be good...he tapped on the window and informed me I had a flat tire. Oh Crap! Thankfully I was only a couple blocks away from a gas station so I stopped to put air in my tire. When I knelt down by the tire I could hear the air hissing and see the bubbles forming around a nice gash. Oh Crap! This gas station is right across the street from my church so I drove over there praying that someone would be there. Yes! Our Youth pastor was still there and he saved the day by lending me his car to run and

To all those that have been following Mojo Girls I am not sure what direction I want to go with this challenge blog and so I have TEMPORARILY shut it down. Please keep checking back as I will get it up and running again soon...hopefully. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions please feel free to leave me a comment or email me. Thanks.

Where does the time go? I had big plans to blog everyday or at least every other day..... oh well. What has been happening in my world? I took 3 weeks holidays during Christmas. I know those of you who know me are thinking well you just work from home... For those who may not know me or are new to my blog I have a little hair salon in my home. Most years I am doing Christmas hair do's till the 23rd or 24 th . This year I took time for me and my family. I had all my evenings free to spend with Ray and the Kids. Ray booked 2 weeks off during Christmas so we really just spent time reconnecting as a family. With it being so cold we didn't even leave the house most days. It was nice. What's new since New Years? The kids have been busy with school and homework. I went scrapping one Saturday with so0me friends and still need to add a few little finishing touches to the pages. I have a layout currently on my desk that has been there for almost 2 weeks and I just haven't had ti

Sorry for the delay in posting this. I went out with some friends to do some scrapping today. We had a blast. Shortly after I got home my oldest son pushed his brother into the wall (corner) and he cracked his head open. I swelled up pretty good and bled some. I have spent most of my evening trying to get the swelling down and the bleeding to stop. It doesn't look like he has a concussion and I don't think he will need stitches but he'll probably have a bit of a headache for a day or two. He's asking for food and he didn't get drowsy so I think I am safe in sending him to bed. So the names that were drawn are April and Aleks. Please send me your addresses so I can get your Raks sent out to you sometime this week and thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

By my clock it is 12:52. 2009 has been here for 52 minutes already. We had super friends over for supper, games and refreshments. We had a great time. It is the first New Years Eve we have celebrated in years. Usually we are so sick with colds or the flu or the kids are so sick that we miss the New Years arrival. What do I want 2009 to be like? I haven't really decided yet. 2008 wasn't a bad year for us. We were stretched a little and grew a lot, but isn't every year a little like that? 2008 was filled with friends and laughter,celebrations and get-togethers. We saw some friends get married, others had babies and sadly we lost some friends along the way too. I look back on the year that passed and think that it was a pretty good year maybe not as good as some but better than others, can't that be true for most years? I don't know what 2009 will bring but I am sure looking forward to the ride. It is never boring and it's always kind of exciting to see what is wai
