Sorry been MIA

Hey just thought I let the readers know I have not been around due to company. Gene's family came back Sunday night. So have not been able to get into my craft room and looks like they will be around another 3 weeks lucky me...lol Anyway to we have been finishing up lose ends with our old home we lived at. We have to get a storage building moved so we have to get in ready. Not going to bore you with details of what all we have to do but we have a lot of stuff to do before the 22nd this next Tuesday. And during this time we had to get Gene's truck repaired set us back a pretty good chunk. But its fixed most important thing. So please bare with me as my post will be limited until I get our stuff done and my craft room becomes my craft room again. I promise once we get all this stuff done I will get back to posting as I was. I cant wait for life to get back to normal.....lol

Something springy

Robyn at my pink stamper made such a cute card today and that made me want to join in her challenge to make a springy card. At this point I cant wait for spring after all the ice and snow we have had. And we now are under another winter warning. So tonight while Gene's parents are visiting there other son I thought I take advantage of being able to get in my craft room. I made this card with stamps only since I am kinda limited on how much I can get out I have a air bed in the middle of my craft room, plus they will be back Wednesday. But I enjoyed the break and relaxing for a few mins. Now off to get some stuff done. Thanks for looking.

Finally!

The sun is out just in time for Superbowl. Its been crazy here in Texas first we had ice Monday night got a few inches of ice. Then the finale straw 6 inches of snow on Friday. The ice was still hanging around on Friday morn so the snow really made it fun. But Saturday was sunny and all the ice and snow began to melt. And today its really sunny so the roads will be great. In my last post I said that Gene's mom and dad are in town and they were leaving to go to there sons that day. They did which would have been a welcomed break we were all getting on each other nerves being stuck all together for a 4 days as you can tell from my post..lol. Well they had to end up coming back that night. There truck got broke into at there doctors office and they took his mom purse and cell. They broke out the window and you would think a cop would carry some plastic on them but no they had to drive back here with the window out. Anyways they come back, I know it could not be helped and I felt so bad for them. They had to stay here friday and sat to go to the DMV and get a new phone. But they left last night and will be down to there other son a few days. They will have to be back Wed for them to look at the truck. And I was informed the night they got the truck broke in they have another doctor appt in two weeks. So that was not welcomed news for me...lol That means they will be with us for three weeks. Okay a week of family is enough when you all don't get along...lol So anyway way that has been our week not been the best week, I did get to play some xbox last night with friends that was nice. And tomorrow Gene will be going back to work. Maybe with them gone for a few days as well I can craft Monday. I heard that we might have a repeat of ice again Tuesday if it makes it where no one can get our house guess it be a good thing...lol but Gene needs to work. He is so bored and to he is losing money. So anyway here are some photos of the snow hope everyone else has had better luck than we have had. Now off to store so I can get some snacks for watching super bowl. Have a great Sunday.

I am so bored!

Well we now are on day 3 of the ice and freezing temps. This photo above says it all ice skating in Texas streets...lol By the way that is not us, that is off the weather photos people have uploaded thought it was funny. Wish I knew were my ice skates were. We got about 4 inches of snow and few inches of ice started Monday night. Tuesday we was stuck here all day and wed we finally got out roads was really bad, we had to go food was getting low. I resorted to making biscuits from scratch yesterday. So before roads all refreeze we got to the store were almost fell...lol We also had rolling black outs Wed, we lost our power three times. I was so glad we had our fireplace....lol Today Gene is off work again for the third day now. Its so cold that you really don't want to go outside, we were in neg's far as wind chill. I have been so bored, and you ask well Michelle way did you not craft at all with all the spare time? I can tell you why we have had Gene's mom and dad in town the whole time, they got here Monday eve and have been stuck here since. They are staying in the guest room were my craft stuff is. Its been so fun....lol I cant craft I cant play on xbox cause they are always watching fox news. Does not help we don't get along. His dad is always talking politics, that gets old. When they are not watching news they are in bed and they leave the door open which is right by the living room, I feel like my home has been taken over. So you cant really watch tv or game on xbox, which is not good since I am a night owl...lol Anyway this storm has been a pain in the butt, and they say we will get more snow tonight and tomorrow that is the best part...lol At lest its not as bad as some states OK. got hit pretty bad and some places I seen on tv had 2ft of snow. That is just crazy! Well if you have been affected by this storm stay warm and safe and hope we all can go back to normal sometime soon.

LONG Day!

What a long day it was, we wen to Arlington, TX today the place I grew up. We went to get some stuff taken care of like getting inspection sticker. And needless to say after 5 hours in Arlington we did not come home with a inspection sticker. His check engine light had been on and then went off well it did not want to pass cause it had not cleared. We drove alot today....lol And never cleared then on way home the check engine light come on again!!! I could not believe it. So now we have to find out what is going on with his truck. Anyway on way back home I wanted to go by and see the Cowboys stadium. Sunday is the Superbowl in our new stadium. It's crazy how much is going on, they have dozens of these portable buildings that are two story's tall even for people that just want to watch from the jumbo screen not even getting to go inside...lol Sad most people in our local area are not going cause none of use can afford it...lol Tickets for the very top way up is 2,000 for two people. And those tent tickets to watch on jumbo screen will run you about 350 each. That don't include parking. Its a pretty and very big stadium its one you have to see in person to grasp the size of it. But still not worth that much for tickets. I will watch on TV from our comfy sofa and not have to drive home after the game. Anyways wanted to let everyone know I doubt I will be posting anymore this week, my in laws are in town. They will be here tomorrow so I will have my hands full. And today I have been not feeling so great think I am coming down with something, prefect timing...lol. So bare with me for a week and I will try to post if I can find time to craft. It might be a short trip not sure yet. Have a great week.

Birthday card for guys

Okay I am always getting stuck on making cards for men. I find I have more girly stuff than anything. So I am glad I got cricut camp out for 5.00 when it was on sale at custom crops. For this card I am lucky its for my dad's birthday coming up next month. He loves to fish so that is pretty much an easy guess on what to make. I used the fish print papers from a calender scapebook kit I had awhile. My goal this year is use up as much of the old supplies I have. I think I am putting a small dent in it. Rest of supplies and sizes of cricut cuts below. Thanks for looking....

Valentines day card

I am working on a few valentines day cards and this is one of them. I am trying to us up all the papers and scrapbook stuff I have had for awhile. So there is no cricut used for this card. The Hugs and kisses was ment to be a title for a page but I thought I will make this into a card. Because its so long I had to use a tall card long ways. Been seeing cards like this lately so thought I try it. I will be making more valentines day card in the next few days and will post them soon as I can. This card will be going to my mom she has bad eye sight so thought this is prefect for her she will be able to see the title. Thanks for looking
