Just has to CLEAN! I had CRAP loads and loads of CRAP all over my upstairs and IT WAS DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY NUTS! SO I practiced my favorite technique of getting stuff done. 15 minutes of flying. NO not airplane flying....Flylady flying. Bye bye clutter hello happy place!

I am going to post some pictures of my work in progress in a few! OK here they are.......

GOSH do I need...

Some time for myself.

I have SOOOO much to do, but I just get what I can done, then I throw in the towel. I have NO idea why I am soooooo unmotivated this week other than I feel lost in time. Strange I know, but I think I am so glad to have a week at home that I don't even know where to start. I guess I need to start with doing something for myself. Hummmmmmmmm.....what to do??? Guess I will have to think about it and update this later. My Carma is all messed up.....when my carma is messed up....I am messed up!!

We will see if Ron really did figured out how to follow the link to my blog.

Do you like this picture. We could set this one as you background..........

Here is what I don't get......

WHY would the people at the Speedway in California NOT Postpone the race earlier last night. Those poor drivers, their bodies are on Eastern time and they kept them up half the night telling them that they might race! I sincerely feel for everyone involved. So, it means my day is totally messed up. So much for my box sorting today!! Instead I am listening to Clint on his scanner and watching the race between some scrapping and cleaning my kitchen. Now I don't have to clean my kitchen later this week.

AND not to mention the WEATHER today! OH joy!! Let's see....what can I post.....I know a picture of the LAKE in the Summer....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY

The best of best birthday wishes to my brother Larry!! I hope you have a wonderful day and here's to many more. You are such an awesome brother. A super Dad, a wonderful Husband and just a great person. I admire so many things that you are......you have a wonderful family and the respect of so many.

In Memory.....

Of My sweet Friend Jeannie who passed away over the weekend. I am absolutely CRUSHED to have lost this dear dear friend!! My heart is broken!!

I first met Jeannie online, when I showed up at Scrapfest in 2007 I was so nervous and the first person to run up to me wrap her arms around me and make me feel so comfortable was Jeannie. She instantly made me feel comfortable and very much a part of the celebration. I was constantly finding myself around her at Scrapfest.......she was truly a wonderful wonderful woman!

As scrapfest I won these really cool words that she made. Her husband cut the words out and she decorated them. I have one at my Cabin that says relax and it is in my window and everytime I look out at the water I have to look at that and everytime I always thought of her....TODAY even more......

I don't even know what to say. I am very very sad......She was one of the most beautiful people I ever met!!



This is Myself, my friend Terry and Jeannie at Scrapfest. Two wonderful and truly awesome woman. I will MISS YOU JEANNIE!!!!!

OH man....

This week has been some week.

First, on Monday we had our Stock Realty & Auction Mandatory meeting. It was nice to attend the meeting and we had a nice one. It is so nice to see everyone without the pressure to being at an auction. Later in the afternoon as we listened to the weather Ron, Ray and I decided that it was probably a good idea to get one of us girls to Lincoln in case the other girls were delayed by weather...so I was the lucky girl. I packed up the ole Yellow Suitcase and headed to Lincoln with Ray...and without Ron. As much as I hate hotels anymore....it was nice to get a chance to be alone in a hotel and get some scrappin done. Ray, Don, Mark, JB and I went out to eat at Merle's which is our favorite place and man was it good.....seeems that soup we had earlier didn't stick with any of us. Note to the girls....stop putting water in the soup :)

As much as I hoped Tuesday's forecast would be wrong...It wasn't. IT SNOWED. The wind didn't blow till later which help our auction, but the girls still got delayed and I had the pleasure of registering people until they showed up which wasn't too early. Normally I would have been OK with it, but I needed to get home...BAD!! I had something I had to get uploaded and I needed my DSL :) So in the middle of a snowstorm.....I was Clerking....THANK GOD FOR DEB driving home or I would have been a basket case.

Today......it was a Kristin day. I needed to reboot myself as I call it. Do some scrappin, catch up online, check on my NASCAR boys, get my laundry off the pool table....so here I am.........

So because I haven't posted for a while....I wanted to post as a photo.....and here it is....a layout I did about our Shore Excursion to Grand Cayman while on our cruise.......I really like this layout and THIS KIT by Gretchen. I am on Gretchen's creative team and I really enjoy creating layouts for her.....

What to blog about!!

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I could blog about the fact that I am here in our cabin alone, even though it was my DH's idea to come to the cabin. I think it was a setup to he could drive 8 miles instead of 30 to sell tonight. THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING. An auction did not appeal to me......as much as I love listening to my auctioneer boys...there was NO way tonight!

I am sooooo proud...

Of my Nephew Sheldon. He is quite the little wrestler and I could NOT be happier. Today he won his weight class at a wrestling tournament in Clearwater. I am so glad that I was there and that I brought Grandma to watch him. Here is a layout I did about Shel. His Dad (my brother) shared a bunch of wrestling photos with me and this was my choice to scrap.



AND for his sister Jess. Best wishes tomorrow on your contest Jessica. I love you and I know you can do it!! HUGS HUGS and lots of love to you.

I am so proud of my sweet niece and my wonderful nephew. LOVE YOU ALL!! Mom and Dad included!
