<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b> So.. I'm pretty sure I lost track of a bunch of the valentine photos that people were sending me. We ended up with 27 girls in the swap. And I believe everything went off without a hitch.. which is pure luck.. it doesn't always happen that way. believe me... that's part of the reason I quit hosting and doing swaps.. anyways.. this one worked out well. (I only got one teeny weeny complaint.) I think all swaps have been completed or are in the mail.. probably the only hold ups are the too and from Canada ones.. and that's mine and my friend Martha's.. so I think we're all good!</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>IN the back of my mind the thought of putting Christmas away is looming.. and the thought of putting Valentines out is somewhat exciting! but not yet. I started redoing the big upstairs bedroom and will be moving my craft room up there soon. the room is truly in need of being gutted and refinished. But that is not happening. I recovered the walls and pulled up the carpet this weekend. Will be painting the old chippy woodwork this week and will need to find a large area rug. I also will have to do something with the ceiling. So far there is a great improvement. I should have taken a before picture.. but I would have been ashamed to show it! lol!</b></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Soooo.. Anyways.. It seems to me that its very slow out here in blogland. And I thought maybe I could generate some activity and excitement. so how about a VALENTINE SWAP? I will post details this week, when I have it planned out a little bit better. Any thoughts or ideas? I'll do it the old way that I used to do the swaps and in the end collect everyone photos to post on one blog entry. Its been a long time since I hosted a swap. But I think Valentines day is the perfect theme. sooo..</b></span></div>

It was sooooo nice to take my time and not worry about how fast the cinnamon rolls got done and how fast the we opened presents.. We've been going to my mother in laws every year for probably 39 years. Tony still took off in the afternoon and went there for a bit. shes an hour away so he was gone for several hours. I'm glad he went to see her and I'm glad I stayed home! lol!</b></span></div>

I just couldn't do it last night.. was too pooped! Tony helped me get them all down stairs and then I went to bed.. and woke up far to early for going to bed at 1:00. </b></span></div>

I think my husband would have liked to go to his mothers for dinner, but I just really wanted to stay home and enjoy the chaos that will take place here .. lol! It will be nice not to have to open presents and rush out. I will miss seeing my mother in law and the rest of my husbands family. but hopefully we will see her another day this week. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>I'll be making a breakfast casserole in a couple hours and cinnamon rolls and we'll also have some cut up fruit and there will be bagels and cream cheese for anyone who wants them.

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>So what do you think of this? this is a picture of Torry that was taken and posted on the Orleans Hub.. an online Newspaper for our county. Isn't this just awesome? doesn't it look like a little boy in awe of the christmas trees? Our town has a little park with about 60 trees that people and agencies decorate. Anyways, Bethany took Torry to see them and the photographer caught this pose! So then Bethany tells me the truth behind the photo. She said that she was actually on the other side of the tree telling him to get over there and he wasn't listening to her. He was getting in trouble! lol! She didn't know someone was taking the photo until it was posted and people were asking her if that was him! lol! anyways.. the back story just makes it funny I think. but I love the photo. he looks like a little boy in contemplation of the beauty of Christmas!

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>So I thought Id show you these photos. Ive been busy the past couple months making christmas elves. A friend of mine has been hosting a big christmas open house in her barn for the last 20 years with a bunch of artists and she has been bugging me for years to make elves for it. So this year I finally did! I made about 25 elves altogether and sold everyone. the few that didnt sell there, other friends bought. and I actually have to make two more. A nice way to make some extra money and I like making them. But like anything else.. after you sit and make a bunch.. you do sort of get a little tired of them. But they really are so cute!</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">Ive been making elves for longer then Ive been making bears. I would guess about 25 years. maybe longer. They started out as ugly little woodsmen. Its funny, because some people absolutely love them and some really dont! You should see them when I make a bunch of heads and body parts and have them all in a pie plate to go in the oven! lol! We always joke about me "cooking body parts again"! lol!</b></div>

I can honestly say that I look forward to each new day and am always grateful to get up in the morning and find something to do that makes me happy. Some of that is because I'm selfish.. and a little self serving. sometimes I have to remind myself that life isn't just all about me.. lol.. though in my world most of the time it is. though I do like to do things for the people I love.. but is it about them or about me? because it makes me happy to do things for the people I love. well, usually. sometimes I do things that I don't want to do for someone else.. and then its not really about me. or is it? because if I didn't do it, I would not be happy with myself.. hmmmm.... so does that make it about me in the end? yikes.. </b></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>Speaking of cats.. I hit one the other night on my way home from work. It was devastating to me. I felt so bad. I know it wasn't my fault and I'm not blaming myself.. It just made me sick. She just ran out in front of me. I wont go into the rest of the horribly details. But, I was dropping f- bombs.. and crying. The lady whose cat it was said she was 15 years old, was sickly and lived outside. Well, if you know me, you know I was a total wreck about it. When I got home, Tony was handing me bunches of toilet paper to blow my nose and wipe my face. I am not a crier generally, but omg.. you would have thought a person died. In fact, I have to admit I cried more about hitting that cat then I have when some people have died! why is that ? I don't know. anyways.. some sweet little pies of mine gave me flowers and cookies that night! And you know what? I felt immediately better! </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b>All of the little pie people in my life are so stinking precious.. I can hardly stand it!
