Sponsor Giveaways : Lettergirl & Transparent Touches

I take about 5 minutes at the end of the day to check e-mail, blogs, and scrapbook sites. It's a short time, but the inspiration I get is limitless!

AFter an extremely busy day yesterday, I just plopped down on the couch and read an entire book! It felt wonderful.

I treated myself to a fun purse just because. How can a big purple purse not make you smile? Impossible I say :)

This is easy...I went into 'selfish' mode last Saturday, knowing the house would be people free by first, sleeping in...what a luxury, then sluffing around in my pj's ant NOT putting laundry in or picking anything up and putting it away...stayed on the computer a while, then to my scrapbooking table...discovering I needed chocolate brown cardstock (which, by the way is not easy to find!)...so straight to Michael's, Sonic for a diet coke...then Hobby Lobby..what fun to shop around with no time constraints!! Came back and scrapped all day, while watching (mostly listening) to a Mel Gibson movie that was on while snacking on and eating a whole bag of red hots (my scrapping pleasure)! I did manage to feed and brush the dog, but other than that, it was Debbie Day!!! I should have gone for a pedicure....oh well, maybe next time!!!

I am taking some time every day for whatever sounds good at the time; blog reading, exercise, playing with Photoshop, taking pics of something other than my kids, organizing my scrap room (love to organize). I haven't done any of this since I became pregnant with my twin boys in 2004. Love all the ME time!

funny you should ask!!! i was so excited that i bought a shirt JUST FOR ME recently! that may not sound like a big deal, but normally when i shop it's for hubbs or kids so i was excited when it was delivered to me!

I am indulging in reading the newspaper on a Sunday morning with my cup of coffee and plans to do some scrapping later today.

i started a devotional jounal.

enjoyed a reese's milkshake way too much! :)

Time alone. Sounds bad, but much needed quiet time. Makes me a much happier mommy, employee and wife.

Took Karen Russell's Photographers' Workshop and then bought a 50D camera. I tell myself it was to better document our lives, which is really JUST FOR ME!!!

Made some yummy snicker doodle cookies...my fave!

I bought some new cute little halloween decorations which just brighten my day every time I look at them! In my mind I said I was getting them for my two dds but I realize they were for ME! :-)

One thing that I have done recently just for me is to go to a scrapbooking crop on Saturday. Plus afterwards I went and played Hawaiian music with the band for the hula dancers at a benefit for the Boys and Girls Club. They were both fun!

My daughter started preschool this year. It's only a couple of hours two days a week, but I take that time to go sit at the local bookstore with a great book and a cup of coffee. The peace and quite is fantastic. Just for me :)

The one thing I do just for me is read. Every night before I go to sleep. It is my time.

I am always taking my son and his friends here and there, sports, fun, school, etc. What I have done for myself lately is sign up at different scrapbook stores classes all by myself. I have taken at least four of Heidi Swapp's classes (among others), and have met some great new friends while relaxing, chatting, sharing and learning some new techniques...this has been so much fun!

I had a facial for the first time in years, as I was going to a house party for the weekend.
Aaaaah, it felt and smelt soooo lovely.
