The Stagette Weekend is coming up! We are going to Whistler and gonna stay at Montebello.

I can't wait for the girls getaway weekend! I really love Cranium adn can't wait to play and have a few glasses of wine. Shopping the village and going out dancing will be a blast. My oldest niece is coming and I cannot wait for that! A few key people are unable to attend, but they will be there in heart ;)

I recievved some new SU! ink pads as a gift and the most BEAUTIFUL Wizard of Oz stamps in the world! I was also gifted the SWISS DOT folder from my DF Bucksheeeeeeeeeee!! xoxoxoxo

I am so blessed to have so many caring and wonderful friends around me. I have been a bit down in the recent past and they are all so great...I think Vitamin D has been helping as well! *wink wink*

I will update more frequently! Scouts honor!

Blah

Sorry I haven't been a good blogger as of late. I have been in a funk...
I did however finish reading Twillight :) That proved to be a great escape from reality at times.
I unfortunately do not feel up to writing tonight...so I will leave you (and me!) with this gentle reminder:

Create your day each morning. Be HERE now. Conciousness and Energy CREATE Reality.

1 Wedding and a Funeral....

Well, my BFF's wedding was FABULOUS! She was radiant and stunning :) It was teh best wedding I have ever attended...so original and fun! NEARLY NEAL was there! UNREAL! They are big Neil Diamond fans so it was awesome they had him perform :) It was such a wonderful and magical night. It was an added bonus that my mom was there and had so much fun with us :)

Sad news is...my Gramps died Friday morning. He was quite sick, and his body just couldnt sustain him any longer. He died peacefully with my Dad at his side. SO relieved my Dad was there and was able to talk with him in private. The funderal is on Friday and I know that is going to be very very difficult. Thank god I have a strong family.

My sister made it to the finals for Wheel of Fortune and she is so excited! I hope she goes all the way! Cant wait to find out!!!

My physio appt went well...I have a strained trapiezius muscle and a very weak rotator cuff apparently. I think ther eis another muscle thrown in there....but I forget! I have exercises I must doand go back on wed at 1330. We shall see!!!

Cant wait to get my new Stampin up stuff I ordered!! So eager to make some mew cards with the stuff I got!! YAY!

My SO and I go to pick out or flowers for teh wedding on Saturday...I am very excited for this!!!!!!! Everything is coming together...When my BFF gets back from her honeymoon, we go pick out our BM dresses for my wedding! YAY! My Aunt said she would be thrilled to make out 'cupcake cake'!!! I am so excited!!!!!!

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind. My BFF's wedding and all the pre-parties/planning! Who knew it was so much work?! Alas, just the rehersal dinner on Wednesday and then the actual wedding! I am very excited. I picked up my dress yesterday (BM) and I love it! So elegant :) I know my BFF is goingto look so beautiful...can't wait! I still have to finish my speech...YIKES!

Potential hair for wedding at Right!

I pre-ordered about 5-6 items from the new SU! catty! So excited...I get 2 free Sale-A-Bration items as well so, thats awesome!

My niece turned 16 (GULP!) yesterday, so me and SO are taking her for dinner tonight...I can't believe she is 16! This sucks! Why oh why can't they stay little? How on EARTH and I going to handle my own growing up?!

Found some new stamps I LOVE called My Favorite Things...I have a list of about 3 sets I NEED. I bought one, its "rain or Shine" and I already made a card with it...so cute!!!

I need to get my ladies to the dress shops looking for BM dresses within the first 2 weeks of Feb...we are also meeting with a potential (likely) florist on Feb 7th.....COUNTDOWN!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! ok, so it's over over due!

Well hello again...I have so much to blog about! Happy 2009 to you!

So, most people start off a New Year with resolutions...so I will fill you in on mine.

My number one is to Live Life to the Fullest each day. I truely mean this...life is so fleeting and precious.

I really really really love my family and friends. So...I will....do my DAMNDEST to call them more often and visit more. I had been snowed in at work a few days and actully stayed at my Grandmas and it was so awesome. We both agreed that I do not have to be snowed in to have a sleepover! ok, enough about my resolutions...

My dear friend RK has really brought out something wonderful in me...the artist! I have spent an absurd amount of money on a new hobby since I started it...card making! AND I LOVE IT!

To tell you the truth, even after a long 12 hour day shift, I still have the energy and relaxing time to make a card (or two!). I am so thankful and I really enjoy making 'just because' and occasion cards for my friends!

My best friends wedding in so soon! January 31 and I have yet to finish the speech...I have started, but have some polishing to do...I don't want to speak long, just a little blurb. Maybe oh, say, 2 minutes? THe rehersal dinner is that same week and she is taking us to get pedis...how sweet! girl time before the wedding sounds great!

Her shower is on Saunday...I have so much to do! baking being one of teh major things on my list! I hope it all turns out as I see it in my mind :) She deserves the best shower!!!

I had my lil nieces over before Christmas for a sleep over...so fun! We (my SO and I) took them to see Despareaux Mouse (cute!) and then the crafting was ON! We did a gingerbread house, foamie decorated trees, and then we made cards for thier Mom & Dad...so sweet! They were so into it. RK would have been proud to see it! I have created lil scrappers!!! the older one asked for stampin stuff for CHristmas! When she sat to do crafts with her older sis "S", she was quick to point out "That's NOT how Auntie Cupcake does it!" HAHA...Bless her heart.

My very own wedding is coming up so fast...a few weeks better than 5 months left. This could easily become a bridal/wedding blog in the next few months!

I can hear my SO snorring a bit from the bedroom, even when he snores...he makes me smile :) I think he is so sweet when he sleeps...i adore watching him... :)

P.S. I recieve a KITCHENAID mixer for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY DAY!!!!
