Cravings and a birthday!!!!

Hi ya'll!

I'm having a not so great morning, so lets get this out first. It's Fantacy's birthday!!! Do me a favor and stop by her blog and wish her a happy birthday. You can see her trick or treat photos of her adorable children and even grab the alpha that goes with her new fab kit that I love so much and use constantly, Feral Faeries.Now this is the 2nd attempt at a birthday card for her. I put the other one up at OAKS just a little after midnight and never in my life was I so glad not to have anyone open and look at a layout. Don't ask me why, but browns for a birthday card? Not at all happy or cheery. Glad I snagged it out of the gallery. This one I did this morning. I think it's a thousand times more a birthday card.



Are you wondering about the cravings? No I'm NOT preggers (can't be - med reasons). I'm trying to quit smoking AGAIN, for the hundredth time. I figured that since I was driving up north with my aunt last weekend and then going to spend 5 days with her down in Florida, not to mention the nagging, lingering chunk of yuck in my lungs (great visual aint it) that it was once again time to try. I've quit a few times, the longest was 3 months when I was pregnant, but the minute I miscarried, that was the first thing I went and got a pack of cigarettes. The last time was when the state raised the taxes on em and the price went to $4 a pack. No way was I gonna pay that. Nope, not gonna do it....until I quit a great job (I hated it, but it paid good) and went to a job that promised me the moon and let me crash down to Earth. So since then I've been paying the $4 + a pack, paying more for my health insurance and killing myself slowly. (Im putting all this down so when I want to crave, I see all this in black and white.) Ok, back to now. It's going on day 4 and I am a madwoman! I can't tell you how badly I want a cigarette. I couldn't scrap last night, cuz thats always been a part of my routine- a smoke & a diet coke. Maybe that's why Fantacy's first card was shades of brown. lol. I tried 3 different layouts and nothing would come together at all. Then I grabbed a template. Nothing like templates when your mojo's hit the floor. Got it about 1/2 together and something happened to PSE, it froze up and was done. I took it as a sign, popped a tylenol pm and was in bed before 2 & 1/2 Men was over. See told you that Daylight savings time messes me up. And then I was wide awake at 11:45???????????????????????? Tried to scrap again, but all I wanted was a cigarette. I took the 3 CD's of photos my brother gave me (great photos I looked at them at work) and put em into my CD drive and there's nothing there? Just folders no photos. The screams reverberated through my neighborhood. I have no idea why the pictures are gone???? The drive reads other discs. So I went back to bed and read until 3:30 and the dogs got me up at 5:45. Can you see where this is going? So tonight, once again I'll be tired early, get no scrapping done and once again have too much to do at the end of the month. Grrr.



Ok, enough!!!! Since it's 6:30 now, I know that there are no freebies up yet. I'll try to find some once I get to work. Don't forget to stop by and wish Fantacy a happy birthday!

Until next time, scrap happy!
