Bracing for the blizzard!

Well the snow started earlier today and it's coming down pretty hard. The news is saying that this will be a record-breaking snowfall. One newscaster exclaimed it would be of "biblical proportions", but I am really having a hard time remembering any snowstorms in the bible. Floods, yes...but not snow.

Here's what it looks like so far

We'll see how much we get. looks like a good night for starting a new book! We were supposed to go to the Caps game, but not sure we want to drive to DC in the snow :(

Just booked my first solo Disney trip for a long weekend in March. Looking forward to trying some new things down there, taking a ton of pics and blogging about the trip. I think Mike is upset he can't go this time. Shayne was going to go, but says he can't miss lacrosse tryouts.

Till next time...

No Spend February!

So I'm going to try to give this whole "budget" idea another go. With the help of my gals on the DIS Boards.Budget Board, I am trying again to see how many "no spending" days I can get in a month. I am shooting for 15. Plus, I actually made a budget to try to stick with (yeah, good luck).
This whole not working and staying home thing is great, except for the $$ part.
Oh, well, I have lots to keep me busy this month. I'll be working on Stacey Julian's LOM class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking. I'm sure just trying to organize all my photos can keep me home and away from the mall! We shall see. Oh, and I think I need to stay away from Whole Foods too (or at least the fresh cheese and pasta counter). Budget (and waist) breakers!

Candy Bouquet

So I'm going to give this blogging thing here another try. My son Shayne turned 16 this month (I feel so old). I made him this candy bouquet. Thanks to dalayney on twopeasin a bucket for the inspiration. Shayne LOVED it. (Ok I'll admit...I kinda liked munching on all the candy while I was making it.) Think I'll be making a lot more of these babies!!!!

Hello World! 9/17/07

Hey all! I'm Sara...brand new to this blogging thing...but thought I'd give it a try. I'm kinda planning on my blog being a compilation of my real life, my wish-it-was-my-real-life and scrapbooking inspirations. Now I just need to try and come up with something interesting to say!
