Valentine's 2008 (updated)

This photo has a story behind it.... When we went to an American Legion Halloween party a few years ago, this skeleton was on our table so we brought him home with us. For a long while he hung out over the stove until Don moved him to the fridge behind my red berry heart wreath magnet. When I got my digital camera this summer, I took this 1st shot of it. I knew then I would either use it in the scrapbook for Halloween or Valentine's or both. I came up with this caption for it: "I love you to death." I could just see it on a postcard... or a stamp at zazzle.com.

another view of it with a heart and lips magnets ....

This week I made it into a scrapbook style. It doesn't look good here to me, but since this was what I created this week, I had to post it. I made about 10 of these. I got my background paper mixed up on one where I had a red background instead of black then red. That mistake will probably be the one to go in the scrapbook. I did not send all 10 of them out as I planned. I sent it as an email instead except to my friend Patti. I sent her's through inter-office mail.

I bought these cool frames at Walmart last week. I bought one for myself for work, one for Don and one for my parents. As I was cropping the photo from Christmas this morning to fit the frame, I realized I needed a vertical picture so I wasn't real happy with it at 1st. Even thought of taking them back, but I improvised... I turned it on it's side making it unique. Then I was quite happy with it. It doesn't take much for me. It was calling me to take a photo of it so I did and there you have it.... No, that is not a green bugger coming out of my nostril if you click on it! Its a piece of glitter inside the frame. I just entered the last one in Odd Shots Monday but I forgot to write down the link to it. Sorry. I'll add it later...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I am suffering with just a sore throat, but it is better today than it was yesterday. I was running fever & miserable. Rhett & I did not go to church. I am taking Daddy back to the dr this afternoon after I pick up Rhett. I thought I'd caught it from Daddy on his birthday while he opened his presents and had a bad coughing spell. Poor thing.

Today I am not going to spoil this by writing about all the petty things that are going on at work.

I had a wonderful Valentine's. My guys took me to a chinese place to eat that is near our house. The food was better than usual. I had some of the best shrimp with crab meat in a sauce. It was almost as good as that chinese place we ate at in Little Rock on our last BIG vacation. Don gave me a golden amber colored ring. Like I needed another ring! LOL. We rushed home to see "Lost". The 1st episode we missed 25 mins of but luckily it was repeat. Don wanted to see it worse than I did! I curled up underneath the hot pink blanket/throw Elisa gave me for Christmas. Now every time I do this, I either doze or go to sleep. I dozed off during "Lost" so I was lost! I took medicine for my sore throat and cough and went to bed early. Hope your's was a good as mine.
