Welcome everyone! Tonight while sitting at the hospital I am going to review Emma's blog. I so enjoyed how Emma does product reviews. I recently have started enjoying wine and I am going to try several of her recommendations.
I also have decided that I want to try the Chocolate Monkey tea. My mouth went to watering and I could taste the tea already. Yes I did go the website and order some different teas that I normally wouldn't have tried.
Another thing I liked about Emma's blog was her 26 goals and how she keeps us updated on where she is with them. I have found that my attention span for goals on my blog doesn't last very long. Of course I wasn't smart like Emma, I had 100 goals which was my first mistake. Wish I had been like her and made a realistic goal list to begin with. Out of her goals my favorite was to try out 12 new wines. That is a ideal I plan on taking from Emma's blog.
Emma also introduced me to several foods I had no ideal existed. She also gave some cooking advice on how to use these foods.
Emma's blog has a great mix of reviews, family life and good information on food. I know I plan on coming back to visit her blog. So run on over to her blog and check it out!

Mr. C update
We are still in hospital. He has abcess on his lung and part of his lung has died from the infection. We are going to be here at least 7 to 10 more days. Sure has gave us lots of time together as I haven't left his side at all. We just want him well and back at home. We haven't gotten much sleep as you don't go to the hospital to rest.
I am working on reviews for Share your blog swap. Being here has gave me time to do this swap plus write pen pal letters. Yes I have to stay busy or I get bored really fast. So glad I grabbed a few things to keep busy with. Had no ideal we would be here sooo long.
I have 3 more reviews to write. Have been doing them individual as I want each blog to shine in their own light. Have so enjoyed each and every blog. I have never done reviews before but am finding it to be fun.

Barsook
This is a review of Barsook's blog from Share your bog from swap~bot. I myself do not read much fantasy type books, (romance is my fave genre). Barsook's blog is called World of turzukarr Humans, Drazards, Elves & Dwarfs Oh My! What a world.
First of the reason I joined this share your blog swap to find swaps outside my normal range, and this blog hit that want right on the head! She does some very interesting drawings of her characters as well. I found her to be a talented artist as well as writer. I downloaded Torzukarr to my kindle to read. She said she wrote it in about 30 minutes, which really impressed me because it has a good plot the only thing I found lacking was I wanted more! It needs a good solid ending for me (remember I am used to the woman getting her man at the end of a romance book) I went to several post because I wanted to get a feel for her. I am impressed that she can understand her characters and knows what she wants them to do. I do believe it takes someone lots of talent to come up with different types of characters. I see her headed in the right direction with her fantasy writings. I say go check out her writings and see for your self what I am telling you! My parting words is I think she is talented and has a brigh future ahead of her. Good luck girl!

Tea with Lemon blog review
Hello to all who is here for the share your blog swap. The first blog I went to was Tea with Lemon.I found Wendy's blog to be cheerful and fun. She had several topics that I am interested in reading. Some of her main topics were altered art and journals, sewing, photography and losing weight. I thought her blog was well rounded with something for everyone. I enjoyed looking at her photos of her first attempt at art journals. I liked how she played with the paint on her pages. Then I went to her sewing pages. The dress is so dang cute! Her photographs speaks volumes! As I was looking at the bird she took out her window it was as if I was there with her. How awesome to be able to take great photo's. I found Wendy's blog to be very interesting and of course I will be coming back to see more!

Hospital stay
Mr. C has been in hospital since Friday. The ct scan shows a 7x4x0 cm mass on his right lung. They have us in a private room and have isolated him. We are waiting on a pulmonary specialist. He has never been in the hospital and this is freaking him out big time. It is a huge waiting game and its confusing to him. Sure hope we will hear more about test results and such Monday. Keep us in your thoughts...
I have been getting caught up with pen pal letters. So far I have wrote 3 (which I thought was great). Also I have working in my slow cooker journal. Writing down recipes is calming and keeps me busy. The hard part will come later when I am decorating it. Wish I had brought my stepford wife journal thatI am working on for a swap. Actually I am working on 2 of them, one is for a private swap. So excited about doing these swaps.

Sickness in the house
Mr C has phenomia and has been home for 10 days. I think he is getting worse instead of better. He goes back to Doctor tomorrow and hopefully get more meds to take. I have had a head cold all week. It hasn't been alot of fun at our house.
I am going to help out my cousin Sherrie with her daughter's wedding and showers. I think we will have lots of fun pulling everything together. We have tulle and will make lots of big bows and that always goes along way with decorations. It also helps that she is having the wedding at a cute venue.

. So it looks like my crafts will be designing a wedding and a shower the next several months. I ordered several cool things from a cool website. http://www.wrapwithus.com
Received an art journal in the mail to work on and I will tell you I have enjoyed it this round. I hope Melissa will be happy with what I have done. I need to finish up about 5 pages and I will send it home to her. I did it alot different than the last art journal I worked in for her. She is going to be really surprised.
I have joined a swap where I am making a slow cooker recipe book using 50 recipes. I am thinking that I may want to make 2 of them so I can keep one for myself. Yes I know I will get one from my partner but what if I forget where I found these recipes I used? I plan on cutting out photos of food and decorating the pages some also. Give it a scrapbook feeling.
I have 4 letters to send out toward my 52 letters for this year goal. I haven't done as well as I thought I would. But as I was saying the last 3 weeks or so we haven't been feeling very well. I had the virus the week before Valentines Day. Then I worked alot Valentines week. Which meant I just didn't feel up to the challenge to write any letters.
The Budget is shot right out of the window. I had to get a root canal and crown and let me tell you that was wxpensive. I will say that I am glad that I had been frugal or I would be hurting financially right now. Plus Mr C lost 3 days at his job which cost us close to $1500.00. So we will be watching our money real close the next several paydays. I need to get back on track and enter my expenses on my G~slate tablet. Seems to work better for me than writing down in a book. As I do carry my tablet everywhere with me.
My computer is still down and I so want to post some new photos I have taken lately. Will do that as soon as I get a chance to call Hughes Net and get them out to the house. I think it is in our lines not the computer itself. I already had the computer at Dr and he said it was okay had many virus on it.
Have a great and wonderful week!!!

motivation needed!
I so want be creative! I have several sewing projects in mind for this year. I so want to learn how to make e reader holders and make up bags and mug rugs. I have taught my self how to use a sewing machine and every day its a learning process. I know need to learn how to put in zippers. I don't think they are hard but I have no ideal how to do zippers.
I have wrote 3 pen~pal letters this week, plus a letter to my brother Lonnie. So that means that I am good to go on the 52 weeks of mail project I am tring to do.
I think the more I try to save miney the faster it goes! I am just glad I have been tracking my money so I have a very clear picture of how it is slipping thru my fingers. I tend to take the approach of hiding my head in the sand. That usually backfires on me.
Need to get the boys Valentine items bougt and ready to send to school. I will take Blake's to his house. He gets home from work that night. I need to add some summer sausage and crackers to his basket. Right now it is mainly chocolate and he isn't a big candy eater. On the other hand the other two boys does like candy and chocolate.
