What the HEEL is wrong with me?

I can't seem to get into crafting! Okay I have been working on some giftbag and card sets but I am so slow!! We have been out of school due to bad weather and you would think I would be crafting my butt off but instead....well, okay I will confess. I decided to do a trial version of Netflix and I thought I would check out Dexter. My friend Carmen, aka Scrappinbee, has to get off the phone with me when Dexter comes on and it has been that way for a few years now. She doesn't give me a warning other than "DEXTER'S ON" and then she hangs up. Sometimes she might say "bye" really quick *okie thinks it is while Carmen is hitting the hang up button*, but most of the time...nope. Now I understand.

I will try and get pics of the giftbag and card sets today and get them posted, or at least started posting.

Oh I also got some envelopes organized and there was something else I organized but right now I can't remember what. The envelopes will hold 5x7 cards. I was at my favorite bargain store last weekend and they had a special of "anything you can put in a bag for a quarter". The bag was a pretty good size and I found a bunch of Christmas cards that I figured the envelopes would be a good buy. I ended up with 16 boxes and each box had 18 card and envelopes in them. I tossed the cards but kept the envies! I actually plan to try and use them for some cards where the Cricut image is hanging off the card. I have seen cards like that and like them but then always have problems making them because I generally make A2 size cards. This way I can still make the A2 but have a little extra something on them.

I have also been spending time trying to figure out what I need to take on the cruise. I have decided that I am too fat and will likely sink the ship. But the positive about that is that human fat is buoyant so when the ship sinks due to my fatness I will float to the surface. I have been able to go through some of my clothes and decided on some things to take. I got some shorts and capri's on eBay so I hope they fit okay.

Okay it is almost 1am and I am off to Netflix to see what else I can line up to watch for tomorrow since I have another snow day stuck in the house!

I watch the entire series of weeds, and the office (funny mix I know)I even went as far as to order showtime so that I could see the latest weedes season and then got sucked into THE BIG C (great show)

  5. OH Okie you won't sink the ship. You will have so much fun you won't care what you are wearing.
    I always had trouble getting stuff done on snow days. You think I have the whole day and then before you know it the day is over. Now that I am retired I have that problem everyday. I keep thinking I should have a lot more crafting completed. Oh well off to read more blogs. Hmmm maybe that is what eats up my day. LOL

  7. So what do you think about Dexter? My husband and I absolutely LOVE that show!

    And I can relate to the crafting blahs. I have been home for two days and haven't really accomplished anything!

  13. I'm in a lull on my crafting too. Now, the kids are all out of school for the weather and I can't craft if I wanted to because every 2 minutes they "need" something.

    My NetFlix has recommended Dexter for me - I'll do that one right after we finish Lie to Me. If you sign up for NetFlix & have it longer then the trial rate a bunch of stuff and it will start recommending. It's pretty good at pegging me with a mixture of reality crap, mystery/drama and KIDS crap :)

    Have fun on the cruise -- I'd just have to find a way to take it ALL!!

  14. You are a hoot!! Atlanta had some crazy weather recently (5 inches of snow in my southern yard) and I was out of work for 3 days. Didn't craft one little bit - no idea what was wrong with me. Thank goodness I'm over that.
