OK so are y'all ready for my Exciting news? I have been accepted to my 5th CT!! I am Now on Stephanie Broccolo's (at SOTB) Creative Team. I think this will be my final CT for awhile, don't want to overextend myself.
OK, so I never got around to those CT LO's I promised. I swear if I don't get them up tonight I will definitely get them on here by tomorrow.
And for today's Blog prompt: Tell us what is in your jewelry collection. Any favorite bits and pieces? What do you like to wear?
Let's see the jewelry collection that I wear EVERY single day consists of 6 pieces. 4 rings: one is a sterling silver ring with an onyx in the center and scrolly designs on the side that was my Mom's, one is a small silver ring with a pink natural stone that I got when we went to a gem Mine 2 summers ago in Maine, one is a silver pentagram, and the fourth is a silver band with a moon and three stars cut out of it. I also have a silver heart necklace that contains a small amount of my mom's ashes. And the last thing I always wear is my pooh and tigger watch=)
I also have a jewelry box that contains some of my Mom's other pieces of jewelry, 4 rings some necklaces and earrings. These are her more expensive pieces like opals and her mothers ring that I only wear on special occasions. And there is also a necklace, a sapphire hanging off a square with a heart cut into it that my Mom bought me; the chain is broke and I need to get it fixed so I can wear it again.
I also have an organizer full of earrings that I occasionally wear. I have 2 sets of holes but often forget to wear earrings, lol. I also have a couple pentagram necklaces, one with a sapphire, that I wear occasionally.
OK so is everyone bored of hearing about my jewelry now;)

Exciting News...Stay tuned
Ummm so does three posts almost a week ago make up for the fact that I haven't blogged since??? Oh probably not, lol. One of these day's I'll get less sporadic about blogging I swear=)
I have some exciting news in the works but shhhhh Mum's the word for right now! You'll have to keep checking back to see if I've posted it yet=) I've been working on more CT LO's and working diligently to get the 19 monthly challenges done @ SOTB.
OK, a bit behind the time's but I have a response to yesterday's, Blog Prompt@ Designs in Digital. It's all about dream's. I have to admit I don't often remember my dreams unless they're really far out there, sad, scary, etc lol. But this Question in particular is easy for me to answer: Have you had any dreams you've never forgotten?
For about 2 months after my Mom died every time I closed my eyes all I could see was her laying in her casket. I had several dreams about it, I think this is because I was distressed, well a. for obvious reasons and b. because my Mom NEVER parted her hair yet at the viewing her hair was parted and I kept wanting to fix it but knew I couldn't bear to touch her and feel how cold and lifeless she'd be.
I also had a dream about something that happened at the viewing/wake. We had a closed casket funeral, out of respect for my Mom's side of the family who was catholic, so when it was time to leave I knelt in front of the casket to say my goodbye's but I just couldn't seem to get up. I didn't want to leave her, to say goodbye. I knew it would be the last time I ever saw my Mom (even if she was dead) and I just couldn't bear to leave her alone. I had this overwhelming desire to just lay down on the bench and sleep there until the next morning when they took her to the funeral home so she wouldn't be alone, even though I knew she was no longer there in her body. One of my relatives, I still don't even remember who, had to take me by the elbow and lead me from the funeral home. I had a very vivid dream about this and woke up with tears streaming down my cheeks.
OK, well that's my rambling for the night. I need to go to bed I will post some CT LO's tomorrow and maybe my news, we'll see=)

OK, I'm back again. WOW THREE posts in ONE day (well probably it is now technically tomorrow since it's midnight, lol) Don't y'all feel SPECIAL, lol.
I was checking out the blogs of everyone who commented, thanks ladies=) And I just had to come back and post again because Kristy's blog had a blogger prompt (you can find it HERE) So I just had to come back and post about it.
The question is: Who do you miss the most from your past?
I miss my MOM, ALOT! My Mom died 2 years and 7 months ago. Somedays I can't believe it's been that long and other days it feels like forever since I've felt her hugs, heard her voice and laughter. I miss being able to call her and tell her the goings on of my life, to vent, or cry on her shoulder. I have suffered alot of losses already in my life and when I was missing my loved ones my Mom was always there to comfort me. But now it is my Mom who is gone. I can't concieve of how I am going to go through the rest of my life without my Mom's reassurance, guidance, and just general being there for everything. OK well I think I've rambeled enough, if ya wanna read more on the subject visit my other blog.

Happy Birthday MEGO!
Well, today is my Little sisters 19th birthday. MY GOSH, how time flies, my BABY sister is 19??? WOW, I just can't believe it. And of course as she had to point out that means my birthday is now exactly 2 weeks away *sighs* but we're not discussing how old I am going to be.
So since it's Mego's birthday I spent the day making a lil' kit for her w/ her fave colors. Here are a couple of the things I did:
So if you haven't figured it out by now her favorite colors are black, Lime green, and hot pink. Well silver too but I haven't gotten that far, lol.
Oh, and here's a couple LO I did of my baby sister and I:
Thursday, September 6, 2007
WOW, so it was a rare day today in which I actually got two free hours to scrap! I had just gotten Leslie's new kit "Howlereen" (available @ Moo two Designs) and I have been dying to play with it! Since it's fast approaching Halloween I needed to scrap LAST years photos so I can scrap this years (hopefully sooner) lol.

Since you can't really read the journaling here's what it says (This LO features a poem my lil sis wrote for and read at my Mom's funeral.):
Mom's Poem RIP 10-15-1957 ~ 02-09-2005
As a child you were there when I fell,.
You were there when I was sad,
When I was mad,
When I was happy,
When I made a mistake.
You helped me learn from my mistakes,
But let me make them too,
I don't know how I'll go on,
But I know you'll always be right beside me,
In my heart, and in spirit.
I hope you're running in a field of daisy's,
With hummingbirds all around,
The sun shining down on you,
But not to hot.
I hope you're not in pain anymore,
And that you see all you're loved ones.
I know you'll be missed by everyone you touched,
Which it seems was everyone you met.
I know you'll keep quiding me through life,
Just in spirit now.
I'll always love you and miss you,
But know god had a reason for taking you away so soon.
I know you'll worry still,
But try not to worry to much,
For you've passed along the faith and courage you had to all of us.
You've shown me to be strong and take care of myself.
Thank you god for sending my mommy to me.
OK and for today's miscellaneous (ie non-ct) LO:

OK, so I am a VERY bad blogger, lol. What can I say, life gets in the way! Things around here are, as usual, hectic. My Aunt is currently visiting from Maine until the middle of September so of course we've been having family time. And then there's my three jobs and three CT's. Speaking of CT's here are some new LO's I've done, I mean that's what you're really here to see anyway right?
