So, I was able to celebrate another birthday this year- another year older! I was glad on Wednesday to have to earlier news of the week over so I could enjoy the day. I had a good birthday this year, I got a cute singing telegram sent to me on my phone. I had to post it because Munchkin was so stinkin' cute singing, he slowed the song down for a nice finish!
I was invited up to dinner at my parents and had a wonderful meal, and my favorite part the CAKE! My mom made a delicious Red Velvet cake from scratch.... yummy. This is my now favorite kind of cake (I wonder if that has something to do with the color?)
Thank you everyone for your kind Birthday wishes, it made my day.

Keep Moving On.....
This week has been a rough one- I am glad it is almost over. We had several meetings within the company on Monday, in those we learned due to current times the company had to make some changes to 'make it through' the year. Some of those smaller changes were cutting bonus, cutting extra expenses and cutting raises. Those are things that you don't like to see go because you look forward to, but you can deal with because you still have a job. The more drastic of the changes was that we learned that 10% of the company was going to be let go to cut expenses. This just puts a sick feeling in your stomach, no one wants to lose their job. To make things a little rougher on people they were not going to start letting go in our office until the next day, so you had to go home and think about it all Monday night. Tuesday was a very hard day as you sat and worked and hoped to not get the dreaded call from HR. It was also very sad to watch people and close friends that you have worked with for years, some since you started walk away and you knew they were coming back. I was glad when Tuesday was over, you felt like you could finally breathe again- but my thoughts are defiantly with those who lost their jobs that day.

Bah Humbug!!

I have been told that I need to update my blog, people are sick of reading my 'shout out' to SnapFish! I know have have been such a bad blogger, sorry- I can't believe it has been so long since I last posted. I have been in a little bit of a funk lately, it hasn't felt like Christmas this year. I am just not into it this year and I am not sure why that is, it could be that it feels like we just celebrated it last month. Maybe it could be that I have seen Christmas decorations on store shelves for the last 3 months, or listened to Christmas music for the past month and a half. I do have all my Christmas shopping done, but nothing wrapped- anyone want to do it for me? Anyways..... I have made a couple cute projects but can not yet post them because they are Christmas presents for a few lucky people. Anywho.... hope everyone one is have a very wonderful Holiday Season! Maybe I will wake up one of these days and get with it.......

Love snapfish!

I wanted to take a minute and give a HUGE thank you to snapfish! I went ahead and signed up for the free photo book that snapfish was giving away last week, I figured a free book and $6.99 for shipping what could you lose? Well I spent many hours picking just the right pictures and putting my book together and submitted the order on Sunday- well I got home today and my book was here! These books are amazing, I will be making more in the future!
Let me say how much fun this was to make, if people are not into scrapbooking or want a great way to put your pictures together- this is it. You can pick several fun backgrounds, different layouts and add your stories and captions to each page or photo- it is then bound into a beautiful keepsake book. As Christmas is coming up quickly- these would make fantastic gifts for family and friends. Check them out!! www.snapfish.com

Halloween..... come and gone!

Well, this year Halloween has been a good one- I can't believe it is already over and we have another year to wait! Yesterday was a fun day, I pulled out the witch costume again and wore it to work. My work always has a big day on Halloween, there are contests for Halloween trivia and best costumes, there were some cute costumes this year! My co-workers also bring their kids in to trick-or-treat, I love this because you get to see the cute families of people you work every day with. I have come to think this type of trick-or-treating is such a great idea- kids make out with a ton of candy and you don't have to walk outside in the cold! After work I headed up to my parents house for dinner, handed out some candy and then the highlight of the day.... I got to see my two favorite kids! Munchkin Man and Princess... they looked so stinking cute, my sister did a great job on their costumes this year. Hope your Halloween was also a good one!
