What is happening in my world right now...

I saw this on Lisa Bearnson's blog and thought it was pretty cool. Here's what is happening right now. (And HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!)

Out of my Window: A light snow cover on the ground, gloomy, red car just drove by.

I am wearing: Jeans, sweatshirt, socks and slippers.

I am hearing: Jason Meraz singing I'm Yours, the washer running and my kitty meowing for some reason.

I am thinking: Wondering if Greg will get home from work in time to go to Judy's tonight and if he does, will he feel like going. If he doesn't do I really want to go to a party alone on Valentines Day? Also thinking about the dishes to do, the laundry to do and the nap I'd like to take!

I am thankful for: I am so thankful for my family. Greg is a wonderful husband and provider and he doesn't get enough credit for his hard work. I thankful that we both have jobs. I thankful I have two beautiful daughters. They may get on my nerves, but what would I ever do without them! I'm thankful my dad is still healthly and happy and active. I'm thankful for my dear friends who love me and support me. I'm thankful I have hobbies that are so fun and enjoyable to me and I'm thankful when I have time to enjoy my hobbies!

I am creating: I am finishing my 2008 family scrapbook.

I am going: Hopefully I am going to Judy's house tonight for a fun Valentines get together.

I am hoping: that Greg gets home early enough to go out and that he is happy and not too tired.

I am reading: A Nora Roberts book that is just ok. I can't remember the name of it - it's an oldie.

Around the house: Allison and McKenzie just got here and she is showing me her purchases from Rue 21. The floor is drying and the laundry is going.

One of my favorite things: I really enjoy an hour with an icy cold diet coke and new magazine.

A few plans for the rest of the week: laundry, more cleaning, favorite tv shows, work, work and more work, bake treats for work, grocery shop, make some jewerly, start Kaitlin's next scrapbook by organizing photos, and I'm sure more little odds and ends errands and things!

She's 18

We Made It! Kaitlin turned 18 yesterday. We celebrated with dinner at Red Robin with my side of the family. She got some fun gifts and we came home for cake. Hard to believe how fast time flies!

February Crafts

I got my groove back! Here are my latest scrapbook pages!

I spent Saturday at an all day scrapbook crop to benefit the Plainwell High School Grad Bash (my high school) with several friends. It was a great day and I accomplished what I wanted to. Plus I enjoyed all my pages, which isn't always the case!
Then on Sunday I was still in the mood - unbelievable!!! So here are my Valentines:

And then just because this is such a cool thing - check out our deck:
This was several weeks ago when we had so much snow. Our table was like a wedding cake!
As the melting started, check out what happened:

Is this amazing or what! It melted and then froze again. Just the coolest thing ever!
Now it's above 50 degrees and the snow is gone. Today it's raining and we are supposed to have high winds and thunderstorms. But wait.... it's Michigan. By tonight it is supposed to turn cold and SNOW again!!!
