Crafting Again...
I hate to say it but January was almost too busy for crafting. But I finally sat down Sunday and made this adorable knotted throw for a friend of mine. These things are so easy to make. I just popped in a movie and was done in two hours.
Going to work on my quilting again this weekend. Can't wait....

Saturday Soup...
Hello my friends.. Sorry I have been away. It's a long overtime work week for me. And I'm still working! But it's all for the greater good.
The only sad thing is my crafting has taken a back seat to work and trying to sell my home. It's hard to get all my stuff out and then have to put it up for a showing. So keep the faith in me, I promise more crafting to come. I have so many ideas!!!
Well, it's Saturday Soup day, so I have to give you one of my favorite soups. It's by Bear Creek and it is SOOOO good. All of their soups are great. I first found out about them at the Southern Women's Show when I sampled the soups there. I could have stayed at their booth all day.. Just so good. Publix and Walmart both carry them. When I cook the potato one, it calls for 8 cups of water, however, I use 6 cups water and 2 cups milk. I like it a little creamy. It's also great for leftovers.
Today's Tip: Got this tip out of my First for women magazine. Love this mag!! On page 43 it gives exercises that work that body. This is called Rebounding. It reads as follows, "Rebounding (jumping on a small trampoline) is up to 68 percent more effective at burning calories than jogging, according to a NASA study. The jumping action also tones the hamstrings, quads and glutes for long, lean legs. Another benefit: Bouncing pulls acidic waste and toxins from cells so they can be flushed from the body. This prevents the toxic buildup that can cause tiredness and zap immunity.

Storms Come Through...
Hello friends.. Sorry I took a few days off. I had a busy weekend. Another showing on my house---which meant more cleaning. The positive of all this is that I'm always coming home to a clean house!! Ozzy, however, just gets so car sick. By the time we made it over to my moms, he tossed his cookies all over her rug. So by the time we cleaned that up, (meaning Mac and mom because I came close to tossing mine too), it was time to go. Plus poor Ozzy was still a little green. Thought it best to get him back to his home environment.
Other than that, not much new news or crafting to report. Been to busy with the family. We did have some strong weather to come through last night. Lost of damage to the Centerpoint/Pinson and Clay areas. I found these pictures of the ABC/33/40 web site. Click on over to view all the photos.

Today's Tip: New First magazine out this past weekend... Found this interesting fact on page 6. Snack on this to feel happier. for a tasty way to boost moon in minutes, nibble on a handful of popcorn. This complex carb has been shown to increase levels of tryptophan, the amino acid used to produce the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin, by 42%!!!

Is Your Company On The List?
I have a love for reading the news on line. CNN.com is one of my favorites at work. They came out with their yearly 100 Best Companies to work for today. Sadly, mine did not make the list. But I still enjoy it. Some local companies that did make the list:
#12. Mercedes-Benz USA
#32. Whole Foods Market
#57. Marriott International
#62. Build-A-Bear Workshop (my niece's personal favorite)
#73. Starbucks
#78. Publix Groceries
I'm going to let you click here to see the Best Company to work for.... I was shocked to see that FaceBook did not make the list. CNN goes on to break it down even further and explain what each company does for their employees. All I can say is, wow. I would bust my butt for some of those perks too!!!
Today's Tip: I found this quote from one of my favorite actor's, Tom Hanks, thought I would share....
"From now on we live in a world where man has walked on the Moon. It's not a miracle; we just decided to go."

The Black Out
Imagine going on the internet and you were denied the web site you were trying to go on. Imagine, not being able to click on a link that you wanted to look at or even copy to your blog. The internet plays a HUGE role in all of our lives on a daily basis. Just imagine NOT having that freedom. Or having it censored. I am a full believer in freedom of speech and enjoy my right to read, say and write what I want. If you don't want to read it, click off. But I have the right. Now I do believe some censorship is necessary. Especially when it comes to children being exploited. Those that do that, censor, by all means. Hell, throw them off a cliff...
Please take a moment to read this article from CNN.com regarding two new bills that are making there way around Congress and the Senate. Because I CAN---here is the link. Several sites offered directions on how to voice your opinions to your local Representatives. Another freedom we are blessed to have....
Today's Tip: Enjoy the internet and express that to the world!!!
