Hey Guys!!
Hey Guys, Guess what I have been doing today???????!!!!!!! Clearly you can not all guess, because A) That would take a really long time, for everyone to guess, especially without a topic to narrow the guess' down. B) I am sure that you all have better things to do than to really guess what I have been doing. Do you really think that people really expect you to guess when they ask that question?? I mean when people ask "Guess what I was doing today", do they really expect an answer? I don't remember ever giving anyone an answer when I have been asked that question. I mean ever!! I think it is kind of ridiculous that people even ask that question, so I am retracting that question, so any of you that were going to guess, sorry. I hope I didn't ruin your day. I mean what if you were looking forward to guessing? If anyone was looking forward to guessing, don't read any further, because somewhere in this post I will eventually get to the answer, but who knows when that will be? I have been known to ramble ( so I have been told, I don't see it, but I have been told) so if you want to guess, don't read any further, and you can email me your guess. Now where was I ??? Oh yeah, what was I doing today? Just kidding, I know what I was doing today!! haha I was making a video!!! YAY!!!!!!! I have been making dome Easter eggs for my Great Aunt's tree that I gave her for Christmas, you know the one with the light bulbs, well I have been trying to make her decorations for the tree, so she can keep the tree up all year long. I haven't made her the bunny light bulbs yet to go with the eggs, but I will before her birthday next week. So I will be putting the video of the eggs up tomorrow, or Sat, and I will be sure to show you the bunny bulbs before I give them to her!! I want to Thank You all for the encouragement while I was down, and while I was cleaning my pit of a craft room!! You are all so great, and I am so lucky that you include me in your day! Karen♥

Hi Guys!!
Hi All,
I will be missing for a few days, My Baby girl turned 21 today!!! We all went out to dinner, and we had her first "Legal" drink together!! Cause lord knows, it was not her first drink!! She was such a good girl all through high school, and then she decided that she was not going to go to college without ever having a drink, so in her brilliant mind she decided to have her first drink at 18 at a Blink 182 concert! She didn't have it in out house, or at a friends house, she decided to have it at a CONCERT where there are 95 THOUSAND cops all over the place!! I know that this is where she had her first drink, because she told me, when we went to go pick her up at the Police holding tank at the concert!!! We got a phone call about 2 hours after she left to go to the concert, it is that phone call that as a mother, or a parent, you never want to get. The phone rang, I answered it, and I heard, "Mrs. Driscoll" This is Officer so, and so, and I have Amanda, she is fine, everything is fine,but, she has been drinking, I wish I could tell you what his name was, or the rest of the conversation, but after I heard she is fine, and everything is fine, I couldn't tell you how I made it upstairs to tell my husband, or how we got to the concert to pick her up. I do remember walking into the holding area, and seeing about a thousand teenagers, I saw one fall out of her chair, and laugh her head off on the ground, and then I saw her, she had this petrified look on her face, with her back up against the wall, and a police officer came over to us to see which one of these idiots we were there to get, and when we told him, he said, "Oh Amanda, she is the best drunk we have" Now there was not a moment to prouder of than when a police officer tells you that your drunk teenager, was the most well behaved drunk that they have!! It is one of those moments that you put right in the memory book with her first step, and the first time she had carrots!!! Anyway, I found out all about how this was her first drink, ALL, and I mean ALL the way home!! There is one thing that you cannot stop, and that is a drunk teenager from talking. Talking about anything, and EVERYTHING!!! There was a part of me that was so angry, and the other part that had to bite my lip, (really hard) not to laugh at whatever she was rambling about!! T also thought at that moment, what I had put my parents through, because I, unlike my daughter did not wait to have my first drink till I was 18 like my daughter did. The only thing that saved me half the time with my parents was that I had 4 other sisters, and there was a good chance that one of them would come in after me, and would be more drunk than I was!! hahaha. So I will be spending this week with my wonderful, daughter who is on spring break, and who is still out "Celebrating" her birthday, she does have a designated driver(for those of you that are curious) and she did have one the night of that concert also, which helped with the level of anger that I had that night, but as for tonight, I am not sure what time she will roll in here, but the thing that I am sure of, is that I couldn't have asked for a better daughter, friend, and just the best person that I want to hang out with. So I will be back in a few days, and I Love You Manda!!! Karen♥

A New Award!!
Hey guys, I just got the Versatile Blogger Award from snowflakedream1.blogspot.com and I was so excited! Part of receiving the award is that I have to tell 7 things about me. First of all, I blog EVERYTHING about me, I don't think that there is a single thing about me that I haven't already shared with you in my blog, but I will certainly give it a try!
1. I am a mom to 3 Fabulous children, who are growing up way to fast!
2. I married my High School sweetheart, and in April, we will be married 25 years! Clearly I graduated high school at age 10.
3. I have 2 of the sweetest, cutest dogs in the world, Cocoa, a 11yr old Chocolate Lab, and Daisy, a 10yr old Chocolate Beagle!
4. I have been crafting my whole life, but scrap booking for the past 20 years or so.
5. Sometimes I think I am a scrapbook supply collector, rather than a scrapbooker.
6. I absolutely HATE the winter, and as soon as my kids are out of school and on their own, I will be moving to someplace warm all year round! (I have no idea where that is yet, but I am going!)
7.I am sick all the time, I have a couple of different health issues, but when I craft, I feel like all the pain disappears!!
