Why yes it has.<br /><br />I headed to Heather's and then we were off to Salem, to meet up with the gals from WA, OR, ID, MT and CA for a crafting fun weekend. Usually, we go on Friday and participate in the trading of cards, and the shoe box projects...this year...we weren't gonna go...and then with the closing of the Angel Company...we decided, last minute to hit the road to at least be able to see everyone for one last time....just in case it didn't happen next year.<br /><br />There was shopping, purchasing, eating out, meeting new people, stopping at the ghetto lq store...lol...lots of laughs, texting, facebooking, shopping, learning new things, more purchasing....yummy food....more laughs and good coffee.<br /><br />The next thing I knew....I was back home - weekend over.<br /><br />I must say that the last two weeks...everything seems to finally be falling back into place. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel....and it is NOT a train...whew....<br /><br />Here's to another great weekend.....dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-49658193350069378652011-09-16T14:00:00.000-07:002011-09-16T14:06:00.313-07:00What an AWESOME weekWOW...I can't believe it's already Friday.

Some good, some bad, some challenging and well some time consuming.<br /><br />I have had a few hard lessons learned...but life is good overall. I know that I have to have a positive outlook, even if it looks totally bleak. I have to remember it's not my fault, as I always try to "fix" everything for everyone. Some things just are not in my control. And most importantly patience.<br /><br />I think I have learned these lessons again, for now...lol...and life is starting to settle down. I am hoping to finish a few things that I need to finish so that I can actually "relax" and "enjoy". <br /><br />I was so happy to be able to make some cards for my dear Aunt Serina for her birthday later this month. I have never made her any cards for her to use. Why?? I really don't know. Could it be I was afraid she wouldn't like them? use them? Really??? Whatever, she loves the cards I send to her for the holidays so why wouldn't she love some to use. I guess I just let life and fear get in the way....I am excited to send these to her for her birthday....<br /><br />I had such a relaxing time the other day with my bff...we just chatted and rolled bakers twine for hours....it was nice to get out of town and just spend some time with her. I really needed that break. I am looking forward to our upcoming roadtrip...it's kinda a secret so I won't tell you the destination or the info yet....but will report when I get back...lol...<br /><br />Anyways....here's to a great rest of the week, a short week. Here's hoping I get lots done by Friday...and that the weather is not too hot!<br /><br />cheers!dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-76329672314526853022011-09-01T09:32:00.001-07:002011-09-01T09:34:50.739-07:00WINNER WINNERSo sorry I am a bit late in posting this...but the winner of the blog candy from the Paper Wings final farewell / tribute to the Angel Company blog hop is......

<br />Hello and thank you for stopping by today. Today is PaperWings tribute blog hop to The Angel Company and Mischelle Smith, founder.
<br />
<br />I have been having a hard time putting to words what The Angel Company has meant to me. See, I became a stamper quite by accident. I was trying to make new friends at work and so I attended a stamp camp by another company and instantly became hooked on stamping. I went online and found a yahoo group where I joined and started doing cards swaps. I joined another yahoo group and met an Angel, and the rest they say is history.
<br />
<br />I was a customer for a while and then became a demonstrator...and my life truly changed. I had a creative outlet. I was able to share my love of crafting with others. I have met some amazing people through this outlet. Whether it was teaching workshops, teaching classes in the local stamp store or at a large church event...it has been so full-filling. As I am not sure what I'm going to do right now, I'm going to enjoy the detour....
<br />
<br />You should have arrived from Donna's blog....
<br />
<br />My first card is one of my new favorites...It's called Mama Wants. I used the We R Memory Keepers Twist Trimmer to do the ruffles. I used More Mimi paper, and copics, and added some Via Decor Pearl pen.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO400C4TwwUq4sJToqms-3ih6PgzM-bGSjAMix5kEKDPVIOpZXwPWzSAKoViFik4SjMe1Gb5tFB2ioiXAjLIrxTl-cOXGIxsSTW9rDfhNk04KrihEP2l2l2jyXWBorguwEePIC/s1600/Mama+Wants.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645977024155687474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO400C4TwwUq4sJToqms-3ih6PgzM-bGSjAMix5kEKDPVIOpZXwPWzSAKoViFik4SjMe1Gb5tFB2ioiXAjLIrxTl-cOXGIxsSTW9rDfhNk04KrihEP2l2l2jyXWBorguwEePIC/s320/Mama+Wants.jpg" /></a>
<br />My next card is using Vintage Rides and the yummy Bazzill Smoothies card stock. I was inspired by Angela Kelley's card when I made this....thanks Angela for always having inspiring cards!
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />This next card uses New Creation....simple card, but so pretty in person. I used Crackle Accents on the clocks....cool product!
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YgYa4K5TVudX83TL1Jv1av3GV39W3fUwkfvDB9ZqGTn8O1hHQ3t9-xTNF2PGL3pFgTRwczeh_nHmkeoVjpsywNVD7MyuvycYnmt3DFeA5BfpgQFPCTqFTYawp1L5LPPdlw24/s1600/New+Creation.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645976671523759442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6YgYa4K5TVudX83TL1Jv1av3GV39W3fUwkfvDB9ZqGTn8O1hHQ3t9-xTNF2PGL3pFgTRwczeh_nHmkeoVjpsywNVD7MyuvycYnmt3DFeA5BfpgQFPCTqFTYawp1L5LPPdlw24/s320/New+Creation.jpg" /></a>
<br />This next card uses Modern Mix...and is inspired by Mischelle Smith herself...she had demo'd this set using the chalkboard method and I just had to try it. I actually was video'd coloring this card at an Operation Write Home event by the local tv station.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9kFUkmafGKV4VzXtg3ucptfTCYU3NYCT_4MY7OK61r1W6PPpor-bhaW13afbQZRajHD97i26i4Odjyx0Tqg92vDZXny-3ZOieNg6YO3UHpyfbBMN17-2g90xX7t6dndAQVnb/s1600/Modern+Mix.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645976496287933090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD9kFUkmafGKV4VzXtg3ucptfTCYU3NYCT_4MY7OK61r1W6PPpor-bhaW13afbQZRajHD97i26i4Odjyx0Tqg92vDZXny-3ZOieNg6YO3UHpyfbBMN17-2g90xX7t6dndAQVnb/s320/Modern+Mix.jpg" /></a>
<br />And my final card is a card my dad and I worked on together. See he likes to stamp with me as well. The set is Good Things...
<br />
<br />

I don't know if they ever are going to finish. Hmmmmm.
<br />
<br />I finally sent out a note to my customers about TAC hanging up their wings. It was hard. I haven't heard anything back, but that's typical of my group of gals. LOL. It is what it is.
<br />
<br />I'm getting excited for the PaperWings Blog hop tomorrow...so be sure to come back...it will start at 6pm PST and boy do I have some new and oldie by goodie cards to show you.
<br />
<br />Here's to a great day!

The apartment building is still getting painted...but hopefully it will be done on Friday before Labor Day...YEAH!
<br />
<br />Work is good, lots to keep me busy...reports, reports, reports...decks, decks, decks and 2012 budget planning oh my!
<br />
<br />Anyways....some sad news. The Angel Company has officially hung up their wings, and closed. I was very lucky to be an angel for the past 7 years. The Angel Company was a great stamp company to work for. I was encourged to be creative and spread my wings...I have made some amazing friendships and am glad that they will be there for the long haul.
<br />
<br />There will be more about TAC on Sunday when I participate in the PaperWings Blog Hop on Sunday.
<br />
<br />PSSSS - guess what???? Tomorrow is So Happy It's Thursday!

SO I decided I would "help".<br /><br />I've been having lots of fun while mommy is at work. I have a new game. I jump from the headboard to the middle of the bed and then I jump up onto the footboard and jump to the middle of the bed and keep doing it over and over and over again. I really like to do this when mommy is still sleeping, it wakes her up....meow....<br /><br />Mommy has been leaving not only the living room shade up but the dining room shade as well, so I can look out onto the street and see all the people walking by. I also see racoons...eeewwww and then there is this white and black cat that sits on sidewalk and looks up at me in the window.<br /><br />Lately Tony who cleans the apartment building for mommy has been bringing his son Ben who is five. Ben likes to play with me....and boy does he wear me out. Last time he came and played with me he gave me soooo many treats that I think I went into carb overload and was extra tired. Mommy was so nice to me when she got home and saw how tired I was. She carried me everywhere...boy is she a good mommy.<br /><br />Today Emil the handyman came to fix mommy's bathroom fan. Emil is really nice. I helped Emil. He was using one of mommy's chairs to stand on to fix the fan. When he got down, I jumped onto the chair to keep it warm while he was gone...then when it was time for Emil to get back on the chair I would just meow...and Emil would pick me up and put me on the floor...and we played this game for a couple of times.<br /><br />Anyways.....oh and exciting news....grandma and grandpa are gonna come down for dinner again...boy will I be spoiled again. Grandma gives mommy a can of tuna fish for me everytime she goes to visit and grandpa gave mommy a can of cat food last time...boy am I a spoiled girl.<br /><br />Well mommy needs to make lunch for work tomorrow, so I guess I should go help her...and then its time for bed. I love sleeping on mommy's new comforter it is sooo pretty and soft and warm.<br /><br />mmmeoowwwdflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-28638321150166905532010-01-29T23:18:00.000-08:002010-01-29T23:26:08.496-08:00OH Happy Happy FridayWOW...were did the week go???<br /><br />I rocked it at work this week.

A much better day on the bus....I took the express in the am and also on the way home. There was a traffic incident on the way home and the bus was running 15 mins late...but I still got home and was upstairs by 6:15 mo better.<br /><br />I got my phone hooked up at work today...found the post office inside the building...and went to the bank inside the building...how handy. <br /><br />Wednesday will be a busy day. My office mate will be in and I will be learning all the stuff that I can help her with....and hopefully my new computer will be here by the end of the week. I know that my boss is waiting for me to start taking over his reports....and well so am I. <br /><br />Anyways....gotta get stuff ready for tomorrow....hopefully more entries and maybe a few pictures as well....<br /><br />OMG...i almost forgot my huge TAC order will be here on Friday yeah!!!

Time to take the bus. What the??? LOL...so I managed to get onto the correct bus number but I took the local when I should have taken the express....lesson learned...ugh it was so crowded and hot really in January...I thought I was gonna melt.<br /><br />I got off at the correct stop downtown, make it to the building, changed and made it to my office in one piece. Seriously. My first day was good sort of uneventful work wise...I don't have all my stuff yet, computer, phone, email, but I do have a key and an office that locks with a window. SWEET!<br /><br />Had lunch at my desk, and did a few personal things, I will be bringing a book and my ipod for sure. <br /><br />Bus ride home was tragic. A stalled car on the ballard bridge made it painful - left at 7am this morning and got home upstairs at 7pm...12 freakin hours - really??? I know it will get much better I just need to have faith and remember to breath!<br /><br />SO I'm only gonna bring my wallet, my lunch bag and my big bag...with my change of cloths...we will see if it is much more "lighter" in the am....and my orca card should be working....as I called and got it "fixed" so hopefully the bus driver won't give me the evil eye like he did this am when I paid with cash.<br /><br />Night all....gotta get a good nights sleep!<br /><br />peace out....and pray for a quick ride to work!dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-72146951884798939672010-01-24T22:47:00.000-08:002010-01-24T22:51:29.451-08:00What a whirlwind...Well...here it is Sunday evening and what a freakin awesome busy weekend!<br /><br />First off....I start my new job on Monday morning...yes tomorrow...yikes....and I'll be taking the Metro bus - which I haven't done in years....so stay tuned for lots of stories on that adventure.<br /><br />I signed all my paperwork for my new job on Friday....I think I signed Tanzy away...sorry kitty...I got my dfly lamp that I had seen right before I got laid off...and I got it ... last one...yeah me and it was even $30 bucks cheaper...wahoo!

Here's a little history, back in August I was doing a bit of shopping for my outfit to wear to my sweet grandma's funeral. I was at store purchasing a pair of shoes when my visa debit card was denied. Really? SO I wrote a check and headed to the car to call the bank. <br /><br />When I got in the car, the bank was actually calling me....telling me that there had been a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">suspicious</span> charge attempted on my card so they shut it down so I won't get jacked. I was happy that they caught it, but grumpy that I would be without my faithful trusty visa debit card for up to 10 days...what the??? Anyways, I went to the bank grabbed a bunch of cash and they headed to Spokane. After coming home a couple days later new card showed up. I had decided on the trip to Spokane, that I would open up a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">separate</span> bank account at another bank in case that happened again, and use if for all my purchases to the Angel Company with my customer orders. Well you know how it goes....got busy forgot about it.....<br /><br />Until....last Thursday. It happened again...so I have been operating on cash and checks the last week and after doing a bit of research, I opened another account at a different bank for all my Angel Company customer purchases...and of course, when I got home, my new replacement visa debit card was in the mail. BUT now it's done...so no worries about being "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">cardless</span>" again.<br /><br />I also went to the new <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">QFC</span> across the street to pick up a few groceries and bought a kitty toy for the princess....its a purple fish, with long pink feather tails and a bell on it....i gave it to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tanzy</span> when I got home, and she has been playing with it ever since...and that was 30 minutes ago...well with the $2.99.<br /><br />Anyways....off to do something....dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-60334800243931206982010-01-21T09:57:00.000-08:002010-01-21T10:02:44.111-08:00Cards, Cards and more cards<div><div><div>This last Sunday, I had my customer workshop at the infamous Roundtable.

Really? Seriously? 40th? WOWZA....anyways I decided I wanted to do something very different....I mean really for my 30th bday party, I had all my buddies at the Eagle Eye Cherry concert at the showbox and my party backstage....oh the days of record reps and radio....so 40 had to be memorable. Really.</div><div></div><br /><div>So I was surfing the internet and found <a href="http://www.theviewpointinn.com/twilight_movie.html#events">The View Point Inn</a> and saw that they were having a dvd release party but it was sold out.....and that they had added another one on my bday. It was immediately what I wanted to do. SO I called Heather and mentioned it to her....she was immediately on the Twilight bandwagon. So that was what we were gonna do. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>SO if you haven't read Twilight...you must go read it now. If you haven't seen the movie...stop reading and go rent it now. Oh Edward....although pastey - is definately a lotta hot!!!</div><br /><div></div><div>Heather and I invited Anissa to come with us....and so the 3 of us called and made our reservations. We decided to dress up for the occassion....why not??? AND so the plans were made. </div><br /><div></div><div>A Twilight 4 course menu awaited us....and a viewing of the movie...what could be more perfect.</div><br /><div></div><div>Our road trip was fun and very relaxing....it was nice to escape...from the apartments and the fact that I couldn't close anything...ugh...</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325385327852255010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh90aFrLL2hmeWdlSj54ybBE9nbeAM_-Tvp8kW0eowW4497K6ARKiFCq3C_MZXGdlAJjSOVTfQipGRDlPQqbC7tz8m4OLrA5oVsEQSkSGXryyXzkMsMQznwPhPemjDpZZsWDBaS/s320/view+point+inn+view.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><br /><div>The Inn was amazing.

As my brother reminded me....you ask for a deposit instead of a blood test. Great. Leave it to the big bro to keep it real. Seriously.<br /><br />I had a rough week, covering the phones and such....such drama hate when people call in sick all the time....especially when they know we are shorthanded. Seriously. Oh well....<br /><br />I had a workout with RICO...which was fun...of course...and then a bit of shopping, and then back home to show the apartments some more.<br /><br />Let's see....I had my hostess club get together...which went fabulous....MEME showed up!!! yeah MeMe. We made the same cards as the gals from work, which are posted below....The cupcake is the total hit!!! Love love love that card!<br /><br />And then...the excitement....my 40th bday was fast approaching.....wow who knew??? The week started out great....Heather and I went and saw Knowing...Nick Cage...Yumo! The week really flew by....we had a pot luck on Friday at work, which was a total blast....I made my now famous turkey chili...thanks DIVA for the great dish....I carpooled with B-Rad...we got coffee....and then to work. I got a dozen long stem red roses from Bill (previous boss) and the pot luck...and then on the way home...B-Rad got me the Twilight soundtrack and we listened to it on the way home...and then.....It was Saturday.dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20202014.post-18303641413375936202009-03-31T12:03:00.000-07:002009-03-31T12:13:19.551-07:00Some things never change...So I survived Monday. Work was good, busy...had to cover the phones for a bit...nice break.<br /><div></div><br /><div>Its amazing how easily one can get sucked back into a routine...we make these promises to ourselves to protect our emotions, and then out of some sense of obligation and/or guilt we do what we promised we wouldn't. I have been struggling with this for sometime now. I know it will get easier but it's still hard right now...I did however, keep myself guarded to a point...and felt okay afterwards....but still....seriously...will I ever learn???</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Anyways...I did get home okay....and got ready for a viewing of the apartments...and then the phone rang....at least she called...we did reschedule - so I decided to just relax and do a bit of stamping. I realized when I was packing for last Friday I still had a few card kits left from my February hostess club....so I made em up. I decided to send one to my sweet grandma and let her know exactly how much I love her...TONS! Anyways...I don't think I posted this earlier..so here it is...enjoy!</div><div> </div><div>Images are from The Angel Company. </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319431537403788770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-DB5q27Jsg-bEcJFjZOgZk6pYxOHlF7w5alZdVNY0aYbqeMIvx3GOMtPoMG49VrBX0HwvZMYvUFDoYnxEnj-xQiQ58wvGyK7pv-gAk801Pcc_ggX8LLInXnvo2HKzBNxhKxOT/s320/scan0024.jpg" border="0" /></div>dflygirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09377928520489155063noreply@blogger.com1
