Had a little fun with Mr. Opportunity!

Have you seen the latest Honda commercials with Mr. Opportunity? He is either knocking on the window at the honda dealership or he is dancing doing the "knock" dance. LOL Anyway, I had to take my car back in for them to re-do the tinted window on the back. It had a few bubbles in it and they fixed it for me. I took that "opportunity" to take some fun photos of me and Mr. Opportunity!! In the last pic is our wonderful salesperson who was having fun with us too!! HA HA

Happy Fall!!

I found this cute digital image at Etsy at Plan F Studios. ACMoore had the candy corn Nestie and with a 40% off coupon it was only $10 :). I made this card and I think it came out really cute don't you?

We stayed strong and Honda came through!!

WOO HOO. I just picked up my new white Honda Accord EX. Isn't she beautiful? :)

Shopping for a new car is not my favorite thing to do ...

Thursday we decided we would look for a new car for me. My Toyota van has over 140,000 miles on it. I am tired of my "mommy van". I now want a "car". We went to Honda and test drove 3 new cars. I love love the Honda Accord EX. I have had a few Hondas in my day and my Honda Prelude was my favorite cars of all. They last forever!! Anyway, we spent about 4 hours at the dealership on Thurs and could not agree on anything. On Friday, we decided to try another Honda dealership, north of us. Again, spent several hours there and again, could not come to terms. So ... its now Saturday. No new car, I still have my van. Each of them want me to bring in my van to get another look at it since we are trading it in for a car ... why? They already looked at it. Neither of us want to bother and I think if we take it in again they are going to give us LESS for the van so why do we want that? Oh well.

On a better note, Emily decided to come home for the weekend. Its great to have her home. She brought 2 big laundry bags FULL OF DIRTY CLOTHES so you can guess what i have been doing for 2 days!! Nicholas's soccer starts today so we will do that later today. Soccer season goes till the end of November ...

Time for a halloween card

I've been so busy making washer necklaces, I haven't stamped a card in awhile. With the mornings getting a little cooler, I decided it was time to think about Halloween. I love making Halloween cards and found this cute pumpkin shaped one so I decided to CASE it. Came out cute don't you think?

I hand drew my pumpkin, then cut it out. I put it through my cuttlebug using my Distressed Stripes folder. For the stem I used my SU round tab punch and put that through the cuttlebug too using the mosiac embossing folder. Stamps by Hero Arts and the "Halloween scene" is unmounted but I don't know the brand. I also used my Martha Stewart bat punch.

First day of school for Nicholas

Its his first day of high school. Where did the summer go???

(It was still a little dark so this pic isn't the best!)

Its Debbie's kidney's 8th birthday today!!

8 years ago my sister Debbie got a kidney transplant. Every year I send her a card celebrating her kidney's "birthday". Did you know a kidney is the shape of a jelly bean? This is the card I made her this year. In purple of course (her favorite color!)
