Savvy-ness...



Angela posted a challenge on Savvy N Sassy about "finding your ness" - it was inspired by the movie "You Me & Dupree" in which Dupree encouraged Carl to find his "Carl-ness" lol...so what does that mean? I am not really too sure...ha! But I do know that I took this challenge and put my own spin on it...the papers are Basic Grey "Blush" and sponsored by Go Scrapping..!!

My Last Post for 2006


Well tonight is party night...the murder mystery at my house. I believe about 24 people are coming over...I am racking my brain wondering where they are all going to fit lol...I get off work at noon today...head home and prepare the jello shooters *yum* (will post photo later!), take down my beautiful pink tree and rearrange the living room to resemble the murder mystery stage. It is called "Murder on the Idol Stage" -- all my friends seem to be excited to play out their roles so cross your fingers for me that this goes off well....!! Everyone is chatting about how they are dressing character -- I will *definately* be taking a lot of photos tonight to share later...!

Headed to the malls 7am this morning to hit some of the boxing day sales...got a new desk for my computer and a few odds and ends like photo paper...lots of people out there shopping....when I left there were cars in three directions duking it out for my parking spot...!

We also went and seen the Rocky Balbola movie...now...Rocky fans may feel nostalgic watching this movie but I only felt TIRED...man that was just a long drawn out movie -- lol...save your pennies and wait for this one to come on the movie network...I trust it wont be that long until its out lol
