Back from Vacation!

I had an amazing 2 week vacation at the beach. I've been looking for
ward tothis vacation since I booked it a year ago!!
We spent our crazy, lazy summer days combing the beaches for sea turtle nests and fossil shark teeth (Found over 150!!),

fishing for sharks and crabbing for blue crabs off the piers, hiking through the maritime forest (amazing), riding bikes along the beach and watching the dolphins play in the
water at sunset. Evenings were spent playing football games at the park, flashlight tag with the raccoons (sneaky little boogers) campfires and of course....smore overload!! We had short (15-30 minute) thunderstorms everyday, but that's to be expected......just a minor inconvenience. 
Hunting Island is an amazing place!! This was our 4th year camping on the island. I could live there all summer long. I really didn't want to come
home.....and I can't wait to go back again next year!Posted by Stacy at Saturday, June 20, 2009 1 comments Links to this post

HEY!! Guess What....I did something!! Finally...
Now, I'm off to the beach to be the Queen of Corona and party with Captain Morgan.
Is she hugging him or choking him?..ahhh, that's siblings for ya!!

Happy Birthday to Me!
Whooo hoooooooooo!! (TIC) I'm a year older!
I'm 39 years young today!
You know that saying about sliding into the grave with one Margarita in one hand and a box of chocolate in the other....I was just thinkin' I'd rather slide into the grave with an empty box of chocolate tossed carelessly over my shoulder, a bottle of red wine from Columbia Valley in my right hand and a bottle of Botox in the left......At the very least, I'd look good as I wipe the melted chocolate from my mouth with my sleeve; pull the cork out of the wine with my teeth; and slide into the grave with style all the while screaming "What a ride!!" LOL!!
.....And Speaking of Rides.....Guess what I want for my Birthday? He He........I was hopin' for a new car! A GMC Acadia
This is the fabulous work of Scrap Book Designer and Extraordinaire , Michelle Hubbartt !! Isn't she awesome! I've known Michelle, ((or Shellieh)) for several years. I first met her online when she was a designer for CreativeXpress and this past fall I finally got to meet her person. She is so delightful and talented!
This LO made me realize how much I love my CX friends and miss them dearly! (Maybe I should have asked for an airline ticket to Utah) I wish my time in Salt Lake City was longer and we could have visited more!! Thanks for making this great LO, Shell!!

Sea Island Retreat & Creative Xpress Design Team Assignments
Fresh new look for the blog! I'm trying to make up for the neglect. I'm so sorry to my friends for neglecting their blogs too.... I love to visit so many of you and I haven't had time to do my blog crawls.




Cheers!! To all my stampin sistahs!! I love you guys!
BTW, This was our beach "cottage" bahahahah.....So what in the world is analogous colors?? If you think of the Rainbow colors as ROYGBIV. Analogous colors are colors that are next to each other in the rainbow. For the first card and layout I chose Green, Blue, and Indigo. This is my favorite color combo because it reminds me of the beach and water!! (Is it summer yet?) For my second card I chose Orange, Yellow, and Green.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Disney Storage Box
December's Creative Xpress Design Team Assignment was to alter a We R Memory Keepers storage box into something a child would like to use. When the box arrived I knew immediately this would be the perfect box to store the kids' Mickey Mouse Ears hats. I used the design studio to create the film strip. You can download the .cut file here and make one just like this one!! You'll need the Disney Cart.

I should be the healthiest woman alive!!
GREAT NEWS ABOUT COFFEE!
Do you want to stay healthy? It’s human nature to want to
feel good, have lots of energy and avoid illness and pain.
There are many ways to boost our health profile, including
good lifestyle habits, diet and exercise. But there’s another,
surprising source of health benefits sitting right on your
table or desk – coffee. No kidding! And, here’s the
scientific skinny:
Type 2 diabetes
We’ve all seen the news that America is on the verge of a
diabetes epidemic. But scientific studies have found that
coffee lowers the risk of getting type 2 diabetes.1
Researchers say a special antioxidant in coffee helps the
way our bodies process sugar. It has nothing to do with
caffeine, so if you drink yours decaffeinated, you get the
same protection.1
Liver disease
Scientists say coffee protects our livers. Coffee drinkers
show much less liver damage, even if they’re at higher risk
due to cirrhosis, hepatitis or alcohol abuse, according to
research. Other studies have found that coffee reduces the
risk of liver cancer as well.
Breast cancer
Coffee may protect against certain types of breast cancer
in some women, say scientists. Additional studies are
underway to uncover more details on this good news.
Parkinson’s Disease
Research tells us that coffee may help prevent Parkinson’s
Disease. Other studies show that coffee helps protect the
brain in other ways too, such as preventing cognitive decline
in older men and reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Muscle pain from exercise
Several experiments have found that caffeine levels equal
to about 2 cups of coffee can reduce muscle pain during
and after exercise. In fact, one researcher says he makes it
a point to drink coffee before he goes running!
Energy
Many studies prove that coffee boosts energy and helps
people do what they do. It’s good whether they’re driving,
working, exercising, studying, or even doing a crossword
puzzle.8 In fact, evidence shows that coffee enhances
thinking performance, enabling test takers to score higher,
particularly when under stress.

I'm Waiting........
For the NEW Cricut Home Decor to come out..........this little solutions cart is packed with some fantastic goodies!! It has vinyl revolution written all over it!!
The wheels of creativity are turning and turning inside my head!! I've got to have it!!
But in the mean time, let me catch you up on what's new in my life.........
I went back to work at the hospital. At first, I was part time night shift....Now, I'm full time night shift. I'm still working at the Surgeon's office at night too......As a matter of fact, I just got off work. Not much construction going on these days, so there's nothing for me to do to help DH run a construction company. I just get to watch that beautiful heavy equipment just sit and sit and sit some more....
I hope 2009 will be a great year.....or at least better than 2008!!
Anyhoodle, give me a shout out and let me know what's new with you in 2009!!

DT FLashcards
Here's what you've been waiting for....October's DT assignment...Lots of details in these flashcards. I think I've mastered the Cricut Xpression after doing these shape flashcards. They were a lot of fun!
I've done some more cool stuff, I've now got to find the time to get the pics off the camera and posted here on my blog. This is always a super crazy time of year for me (and I'm sure everyone else too), so I'll be guilty of blog neglect for the month of December. January is usually a bit slower, so I'll be back in full swing with lots of goodies I've been hording to post. Deal? Okay, its a deal. See ya next year!
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Prayers Answered
Meg and her home are fine! Praise the Lord!!
The fire came within an uncomfortable quarter mile from them.
Today looks so much better than Sunday!
Please keep the California communities in your thoughts
and prayers. Its so sad, esp. in these hard ecomonic times!

Terrible news to share...
My dear friend, Meg is in the line of wild fires in California.
I'm afraid it doesn't look good for the canyon she lives in.
She sent me an email last night saying that she was packed up and
ready to go as her canyon was under siege by the wildfires.
Please keep her in your prayers.
Meg is the kindest and thoughtful person I know.
She's always sending beautiful cards to everyone in the CX community.
She's an amazing friend, wife and mother!!
When she came to Savannah this past spring, we became instant friends.
And I was so excited to see her again in Utah, this fall.
I'm just devastated that this is happening to her and her community.
I have that hard dry lump in the back of my throat just knowing she's going
through this. So, please pray for her and her family.Meg and I tried to win "Big Money" for our scrapbooking adventurere in Utah.....I think we won enough for a cup of coffee. But we were blessed with so many great bargains we didn't need it.
Here's Meg with Merideth (Couch Diva) Nat (Scatty) and Shellie (Shellieh) at the Die Cuts with a View Company.

UN BeL IEv AbLE!!!~ 2008 Election
Please listen to this......Unbelievable
I promise.......Its short and worth listening too!
((No radical right or left wings are allowed here!!))
Its funny and yet it makes me very very sad too!!
This is not a reflection of either candidate, but rather just how DUMB the
American public is!! I'm sure it's true no matter which camp you are in!!
I could no doubt go out right now and duplicate this same thing ~ for either side.
I don't know about you, but I'll be saving Wednesday headlines and scrapping them.
No doubt this will be one of the most important elections and something
I'll talk to my kids about when they get old enough to understand. It's one of those
things they are going to ask me about, and ask me why I voted for this one and not that
one. I need to write it down so I can remember the details......and double check my
facts while I'm at it!!
How about you.......Are you Scrappin' anything about this Election of 2008?
This was the first election I paid any attention to. It was 1980... sumptin'!! I was about L's age. Looking back it would have been very cool to see my parents thoughts and reactions during that time. I wonder what the "hot topics" were besides the hostages in Iran. (That'll jog your memory) So get those scissors ready! You're not going to want to miss this Scrappy opportunity! Even if you don't have a photo with your favorite candidate....Scrap your thoughts anyway!!

5 Cricut Carts Coming today!
Fed Ex truck........hurry up! I've got 5 Cricut Carts on the way!
I can't wait to play with them!!
The long anticipated WILD CARDS is among them! I can't wait to play with that one.
I'm already busy on my next CX Project.
I can't wait to show you some of the pages I did from my crop in Utah. As usual, crops aren't very productive for me. The whole creative process goes out the window with the laughing and constant chatting, constant interruptions......not to mention we were up late every night.

What have I DONE??!!??!!
This is the insane purchase from ONE store. That's right....ONE warehouse sale. DCWV opened its warehouse for the crop and WOW......did we go wild. Actually, I was pretty mild compared to a few of the other girls. The prices were so cheap!!!!! I don't blame them for loading up!
DCWV........I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I really enjoyed touring the warehouse and meeting Angela and Larry. We participated in a focus group for some very cool home decor products they have out now or will be coming out soon. This was definitely one of many great highlights. Plain Cardstock about 150 sheets, $5.00
25 colors/ 3 sheets of each color/ sticker cardstock $5.00
More cardstock, glitter paper, metallic paper, pattern embossed paper $2.00 each (my first paper "stack"!!)
Cards with envies, mat stacks, stickers.........dirt cheap
If you could measure happiness in the number of inches of scrapbook paper, I would say I was one pretty happy gal right now. More than 6 inches of paper purchased while in Utah........INSANE!!!! Absolutely INSANE!!
What have I done? What was I thinking......Why couldn't I stop myself!!! Oh Heavens, I can't believe I purchased this much paper in !!
But it was soooo cheap!! Who could resist. I did my part to give Utah an economic boost!!
Needless to say....... I had the world's heaviest carry on!!
I also enjoyed touring Provo Craft and meeting all the wonderful people who work there. It's nice to be able to put a name and a face together now.
Sooooo many more details and stories to share. This is all I can do for today. I'll post about all the wonderful people I met from CX on my next post.
Right now.......I have some paper to play with!
Tootles.....and so on and so forth!
