Harlequin/Silhouette Reading Challenge

I found another reading challenge to participate in. I must be crazy!

All of the books have to be from either the Harlequin or Silhouette imprint. It doesn't matter which one.

The challenge is...

1) Read 1 book with a holiday theme.

2) Read 1 book by an author you never read before.

3) Read 1 book with one of these words in the title - wedding, marriage, husband or wife

4) Read 1 book set in a place you've never been before.

5) Read 1 book with a body of water in the title (i.e. water, lake, river, island, etc.)

That's a total of 5 books for the year.

Here is my list: so far

1)Her Best Christmas-a holiday theme

2)Secret Baby Convenient Wife-wife in the title

3)

4)

5)

Thrifty Finds

We made at trip to Salvation Army. Now I have to travel to Salvation Army because the one in my neighborhood still hasn't reopened from the hurricane. So I don't get to go as often as I would like.

I picked up 4 set of the Milk Glass snack sets at $3.99 each.
Also, picked up this planter. I am going to paint it and then fill it with a pretty plant.

What have you found lately?

Menu Planning

We had a full weekend with a stamp camp, baseball clinic, baseball practice and shopping. My sweetie treated me to a shopping spree at Coldwater Creek and then dinner at PF Chang's. Our week looks full of the same old same old. Nothing spectacular happening here. I did talk with my mom over the weekend and she has scheduled her knee surgery the first part of June and therefore my parents will not be able to go to Pennsylvania with us. I am a little disappointed but I know she needs the relief of the surgery.

Here is our plan for the week: (I hope I stick to it!)

Monday~Cheesy Meatball Subs

Tuesday~Crispy Baked Pesto Chicken

Wednesday~Digiorno cheese stuffed crust pizza-supreme

Thursday~Chicken Alfredo Pesto Pasta

Friday~Out to celebrate my sister's birthday

Saturday~Polynesian Glazed Meatballs

All of my recipes can be found at Kraftfoods.com in the 1 Bag, 5 Dinners section.

Have a great week!

Stamp Camp

My Stampin Up friend, Penny, had a wonderful stamp camp at her house this weekend. Here are the projects we made. All stamp sets are from the Sellabration catalog. If you spend $50 you get a free stamp set. How great is that! Penny starts her camps with door prizes fro those who are on time and lucky me won these!

A great card that I am going to use for a Bridal Shower next month.

This card was the card from hell. It was difficult to get the flower to lay straight.

A sweet card.

I love this card!

This card has a teabag inside.

A simple card.

We used the watercolor crayons on this card and it was not my favorite.

Thanks for looking. I have included Penny's blog here so that you could go get the directions on how to recreate some of the cards above.

Friday Fun

1. Give me money and I'll spend it.

2. Whenever my students whine, I want to pull my hair out.

3. I wish for happiness.

4. Enchiladas Verdes was the last thing I ate that was utterly delicious.

5. To live in this world one must have a good sense of humor.

6. Other than this one, Vonlipis is the last blog I commented on.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home, tomorrow my plans include stamp camp and Sunday, I want to get my toes done and catch up on my reading!

California Dreaming

It's official! The plans have been made, the tickets have been purchased, the reservations made and dinner selection and reservations confirmed. We are going to Disneyland!!!!! I can't wait to see Mickey and his friends. I haven't been to Disneyland since I was a young girl. We are heading to Cali for Spring Break. We plan to spend six days enjoying the Anaheim area. Hopefully I will get to visit with my girlfriends and their families while out there. I love California and its been several years since we have been there. The last time we were there we toured the San Diego area. Loved the zoo, animal park, Sea World, aquariums and Lego land.

Do you have plans for Spring Break?
