10 Things I am Doing (Alli's idea)

1. I already posted the "Health Screening" on Oct. 29th
2. I am currently making 9 "Tooth Fairy Pillows". I have already sent Emmie's to her. I hope she gets it before the SECOND tooth falls out! I have been told by her she has a second loose tooth. I will take a picture and try and post it. I am not as techie as my sister Carol. She has given me several lessons and well...whatever....
3. I am trying to get all my homemade "cards" organized. I am determined not to buy any purchased cards from this day forward....
4. My sister Carol and I are fabric store addicts....we both have a few quilts going. Carols are alot fancier than mine. I'm kind of a plain Jane.....she has more patience to learn new embroidery tricks,etc. I have a Halloween one I would like to get finished before Oct. 31st. Hmmmm...
5. I just had a tree planted in my front yard. I knew it was big but....the trunk is 6 feet minimum in heighth before the branches start! I had it delivered and planted by three guys. I love trees and shade.....I love to see the tree swaying in the breeze. I finally have time to "smell the roses". Its the little things that give me pleasure these days! Mark loves it, I think because I love it!
6. I have finished all my Christmas shopping. I can't wait to decorate for X-mas!!! I would like to have a X-mas neighborhood party this year.
7. I am in the middle of making some "bags", ( pink and brown polka dot) for the three older grand daughters for X-mas.
8. I just ordered (Heidi took charge) "Scentsy" stuff for the Girls families for X-mas. Courtney, who I adore in Heidi's neighborhood was having a "Scentsy"party. Yeah!!!!
9. I think the thing I am most proud about these days is the fact that my sister Denise (lives in Texas) and I are exercising EVERY DAY for 30 minutes. She is doing 40 minutes. I will work up to that. We email each other when we are finished. It's pretty competitive....who emails first!!! I love it!
10. I have a goal of losing 40-50 pounds by next summer. The family reunion is in July. I hope to lose thirty of it by this X-mas. I am doing it to be healthy. My sister Carol has a contest with her boss to lose weight. I know we both want to go shopping for smaller clothes!!!
