Well Hello there! If you've stumbled your way to this blog WELCOME! I'm a widwestern gal who is darn crafty. I love taking all kinds of pictures, but taking funny ones of myself are my favourite. I am a t.v. and movie addict who can remeber all kinds of movie history, actors names, dates and trivia, however, I cannot seem to remember where I put my purse, keys and sometimes my children!
To learn more about me you can get a backstage tour by clicking on the different links and visiting the bio/headshot area.
Merry Christmas everyone. Saw Willow's Christmas service last night, my favorite so far. It was so beautiful. Heading out to my brothers 2 1/2 hours away on a good weather day, wish us luck! I prayed the snow would stop and my prayers were answered, it has finally stopped snowing! Here's hoping and praying my dear friend Beth can get home to her family, that we make it to my brothers safe and sound, and that you all have a great Christmas.
Finally a movie I can recomend, Yes Man. Went to see this Saturday night with Brad. So funny, at times hillarious, and even touching . What I was really happy about was that the trailer wasn't a spoiler, meaning there are more funny parts to be seen. This girl is one to watch for sure. She is subtly funny, a bit quirkyand a great comedic actress.

You may remember her from this movie.
Well, the kids were home today a day early on their Christmas break because we got a foot of snow!
so after the hubby dug us out!
I decided to bake the Kolachki cookies I usually bake every year with my mom. It wasn't easy, but I felt it neded to be done, we've done it every year for the past 14 years. She was so funny with me sometimes, she was over here alot and would often just watch me. She liked to watch me cook or scrapbook, and I sometimes feel here here now watching me. Mom was a very anal retentive person. We would bake these cookies all day on the Saturday before Christmas. We would joke around on how we should have our own food network show. We had a funny banter between the two of us, and I missed that this year. When we were all done mom would pack my dad's cookie tin. Packing this tin was something she did as she did all things with the utmost love. She would go through all the cookies and find the most perfect ones and would select those for dad. So I packed the tin for him this year, I hope he can try and enjoy them.
That's actually me talking to dad as I am baking . Tiff's comming tomorrow to help make more, she has volunteered me to make some for some family friends of ours. She's good like that! She had better not celebrate too much tonight at that Christmas party, or else I may be a little grumpy to work with tomorrow!
I have to share the pooch, Lanny keeps putting her Dog on so I had to get Tucker on the blog too!
So, now I think I'll sit here and drink some hot cider and take a nap!
Warning long post and lots to view! Don't forget to turn off playlist player.
One of the reasons I wanted to start this blog was not to talk just about scrapbooking, but from the design of the blog (and if you read my bio)you gotta figure I LOVE movies! I love eveything about them. For some people it's reading that can transport them to different places and times. They can experience the wonders of different countries and exotic places. Well, that's one of the things movies does for me. I enjoy watching a GOOD movie over and over again. I love to pick up little things that I didn't catch the first time. I love to watch the acting and see how lost the actors become, that I cannot tell thay are ACTing!I planned on blogging alot about movies here, sharing my excitement and passion for performances that I found spectacular.
But, frankly there hasn't been much to rave about. Let's face it movies are expensive, who wants to waste their time? I amjust so dissappointed in what has been out there.
Today I was supposed to see a movie and we had the theatre wrong. So, my friend and I went home made popcorn, and popped in a movie I had rented that I hadn't watched yet. the movie... Step Brothers!
The movie case exclaims....." The funniest movie I've seen this year!" "Eternally funny... but, subly touching!" This movie was CRAP! There I have said it, CRAP, Thank God I didn't waste movie theatre money on this junk!
Here's my Big problem with the description of funny movies latley...... Hillarious
should mean EXTREMELY FUNNY! I would expect to laugh out loud from my gut! slap my knee and bend forward in my seat and stop my foot! That is Not what is happening to me. To me the funny movies are ones that I have just found on cable or on demand.
Two of the funniest movies I have found in the last year... The Rocker and Just Friends.
I recently saw Australia Reviews were so-so , but I went to see something that was reported to be visually appealing and epic like. Not so. The movie was so visually boring it put me to sleep. The entire first hour and a half didn't even need to be in the movie, that would have cut down the agony considerably. The movie couldn't decide if it wanted to be Peter Pan, Sophies Choice, Out of Africa, or The Wizard of Oz. Don't waste your time.
Looking forward to the 25th of December hopefully they are just saving the best for last!
Found these clips of the best movie moments, not all my favorites are on there, but these movies are all worth seeing. Gangs of New York is not for the weak stomach though, so beware or fast forward.
