now I had to make it a little FANCY for you..  so I took my antique brass pot (usually use a SALAD BOWL from the dollar store), out from storage to show you what I do at night and then move it to the kitchen table in the morning.  My life is VEH-ERRY interesting don’t you think?

Ryan gets up in the morning and makes me my morning java so it’s ALLLLL ready for me when I collapse down the stairs with the kidlets…

In about 3 seconds, this is what my coffee cup looks like…. EMPTY! LOL

Then I get organized on the kitchen table for a GOOD round of RUBBAH CUTTING

AND THEN I check often to see how productive I am

Now is that EXCITING OR WHAT?  In between cutting, I serve breakfast, read books and sign tests.. Then I journal a little bit, then cut again…

*sigh*

Ain’t life grand?

What is YOUR morning ritual?

Mwah to da sistahs who LOVE mornings

Hope you had a phenom weekend!  I was sick and miserable.. Was in bed for most of the weekend and was just not a happy camper.. 🙁  You will be able to “read between the lines” when you see my page…  Hoping this week starts on the right foot!

So this week’s theme was using a punch.. any which way you would like 🙂

Let’s take a look at what our AJ sistahs came up with!

Well, it’s that day again.. and I just feel it happens very often..LOL .  The week just flies by so quickly!  I was given strict orders from Ryan to day to stay home as I have not stopped coughing and aching for a week and it is finally catching up to me.. so I am following orders.

Ok now down to some CARDMAKIN’ BIDNISS and some news!

Our challenge today was a sketch. and a beautiful sketch at that!

We have a coupe of announcements.. Unfortunately TAMMYBELLA  has had to step down from babehood as her responsibilities have been increasing and there is not enough time in the day!  We totally understand that don’t we?  We will miss Tammy tremendously and we all wish her lots of luck, health and happiness!

I now would like to introduce a new babe to babehood.. REGANABELLA.. I have known Regan for the longest time and once I saw her hello kitty sewing machine, I knew we were soulmates..LOL.  Regan is so dynamic.. she would keep you on the floor laughing.. we know her for her “SHUT THE FRONT DOOR” statement and her talent is so inspiring.. her sewing, quilting, cardmaking, scrapbooking.. awesome.  You will so enjoy seeing her contributions to babehood.  Also, you have to look at her picture on her blog.  Every time I look at it, I crack up.

WELCOME REGANABELLA!

So let’s begin with her card  shall we?

Reganabella  used  PEACE ON EARTH large sentiment

Ebrubella used SCARLETT the TEACUP GIRL  (I love the name Scarlett.. have I ever told you that?  )
