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

Em

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!

Aren’t they gorgeous????

Ok next weeks’ theme is ANYTHING GOES!  Go crazy sistahs!!!!  Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Mwah to da sistahs who accept da bella EVEN when she is grumpy 🙂
