So, what do I do in my spare time before I had a blog? Well, let’s see.
I really love to scrapbook although I haven’t made one in a while. The last one I made was for my friend Keisha when she had her baby girl. It was a month by month (up to 1st birthday party), ready made book...so all she had to do was put the pictures in. Because what mom of a newborn has time to make a scrapbook? Her sweet baby was born at 29 weeks and spent a while in the hospital, so I was glad I went ahead and made the book for her instead of just buying her the stuff so she could make her own. Here are a few pics of it......
I have been making a few photo books online though. For our third wedding anniversary last October I made Lonnie a book of all of our travels together. We have been together five years and have been quite a few places. I have an album of each trip but I wanted something to set on the coffee table that was like a summary of our first five years. I love it!!! Here are just a few of the pages....

Another thing that I like to do sometimes is puzzles....like jigsaw puzzles. I know, super nerdy, but I have liked them since I was a kid. I swear they help me relax! I mean, I love nothing better than sitting at my kitchen table with a glass of wine doing a puzzle. It is awesome. Oh and by the way.....I am awesome at it!! Like I could probably win some sort of competition...not even kidding. On occasion I can get my honey to do one with me. I think he is starting to like them and appreciate the relaxation that they bring. We shall see.... Just for fun I will post some pics of a couple of them. The first two are 2000 piece and the last three are just 1000 piece.
A few other things that I like.....
- super hot bubble baths
- hot chocolate
- diet sprite with strawberry from Sonic
- popcorn with M&M’s
- shoes...ALL kinds of shoes
- running (although I haven’t done that in a month or so because I was sick and then IVF started)
- playing fantasy football (me and all my girlfriends play in a league together...never cared a thing about NFL football until we started this league...I’m very competitive!)
- playing cards with my mom, aunt, and grandmother (we have tournaments)
- hanging out with my girlfriends
- the Razorbacks
- watching movies with my husband
- the beach
- traveling
- Lupron....JUST KIDDING!!!!! HA!
- and now blogging!
First, on behalf of all the STFU'ers, thank you for the award. I was actually just added to be a contributor there and I LOVE having a venting outlet--even though i've only made 2 posts so far ;)
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog now, and I'm gonna read back but I just HAD to comment on this post.
First off, awesome scrapbook! You've now given me an idea for my friend who just had a baby after 5 years of infertility! :)
2nd, I love puzzles too! Though, it's been a while since I've actually sat down and did one. I like to glue them together and hang them. I got that from my mom, she loves them too. I think she has that dolphin one hanging in her house actually!
3rdly, I love sonic's ice...and I like their strawberry limeades! I never thought to ask for DIET sprite with strawberry---so they actually have DIET sprite?? I would totally be all over that, as I love those drinks BUT I hate that it's so much sugar.
And last, but not least...I LOVE shoes too! :)
Sonic is about the only place that I know of that has Diet Sprite...and it is actually called Sprite Zero but they call it diet every time I order it!
ReplyDeleteI've thought of gluing the puzzles and hanging them. We have a bar in our house that is totally undecorated so maybe I'll look into that.
Thanks for following my blog...I just got started! And thanks for commenting! I am following you now as well.....
