Procrastination ....a blog giveaway

Do you ever find yourself putting things off. I do. I think I am lucky that I always seem to get them done before it's too late. Giving something away has been on my list of procrastinations.


Things to procrastinate about:





  1. changing laundry from washer to dryer
  2. folding laundry
  3. telling myself to get off the computer and get something done
  4. taking photos
  5. dishes
  6. cleaning my craft room
  7. exercising....that one never seems to get done :)



To win You need to tell me what you procrastinate about. Even if you never procrastinate tell me. I will pick a winner next Saturday August 1st. I will be giving away a domino magnet/ pin. Tell me if you would prefer a pin or magnet when you post to this. I might even throw in a surprise or two.



This is a real domino. Hand stamped and colored with special ink, and sealed with acrylic spray.






This is what the back looks like to prove that it is a domino. You can have a pin or magnet.



You can find more dominos and other things on my Etsy site Jacquelines Creations . I will be adding more domino things there soon.

Are we ever going to have warm weather?

It is rainy and cold here for days. I wonder if we are ever going to get a beautiful sunny summer day. Today is the first day of summer. Doesn't feel like it.

Red Sox game is tied right now. I always hate that. It's nail biting time. I don't like doing that.

I am unpacking from the crop yesterday. I only got a chance to make 4 cards and 2 board books. I spent a lot of that time eating and chatting. I do tend to talk a lot.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Fathers Day!

busy, busy, busy

Tomorrow will be the last day of work until summer school. I am excited to have a break. That doesn't mean that I will be relaxing. I will be creating new things. The boys and I will take some days to go fishing and just hang out. I will take some time to be with friends and scrapbook. I will also take some time to make new craft creations for Etsy. I will also be helping at a friends consignment shop. Not sure when I'll have the time to fit this all in my summer plans. Life is busy. Life is wonderful.

Beautiful day

It was a beautiful day here today. I can't believe we only have 6 1/2 days of school left. Then it is summer vacation!! I am working summer school this year but it isn't long. Only 4 hours a day for 16 days. I can handle that.

Hopefully I have time to bring the boys fishing. Nathan loves doing that.

Hope the weekend is beautiful. I do need to get a lot of things around the house done. I need to stop putting it all off.

World Of Warcraft troubles

Well this weekend Nate had his account hacked and stolen. I had just started up automatic payments with Paypal too. I stopped the payments. Luckinly they didn't try to get more money out of it. His cousin saw his character online last night. He told the person to give the character back or he was going to report him. They gave it back. I have already changed the password for him. Hopefully it is a harder one to figure out.

Some people just don't care about others feelings. It amazes me when I see these things in the world. Whatever happened to do unto others. I think this person will end up having bad things happen to them if they stay on this path. Lots of times in life you get back what you have done to others. People should just be nice to each other. Is that asking too much these days?

Relaxing Friday night

Well we just ordered out from the local pizza place. Now we are going to sit and watch the Red Sox. Too bad pappi is doing so bad. It is nice to finally see my favorite player doing so well. Go Varitek!!!!!

It is raining and miserable outside right now. Curling up with a blanket and fries sounds so good. Maybe I will stay up after the sox to watch a good scary movie...or Twilight. I can't decide yet.

Rain, rain go away...

Well it has been raining here all day. I have made 2 necklaces today for ladies at work. Pork chops for dinner. It is so nice to have a man that does the dishes. He doesn't always. He did tonight. It feels so good to have nothing to do tonight.

Right now that wonderful man is helping my son with his math homework. I am glad. Sometimes Howard and I get a bit frustrated doing his homework.

Watching NCIS. I think I might turn in early tonight and read some more of Twilight. I am such a movie person. I enjoyed the movie so much. I watched it over a dozen times so far. I wanted more so now I'm reading the book. Well I am when I get the time to. I am not that far into the book yet. I will read the others after I watch the movies.

Well I guess I didn't get off so easy. Howie is here for me to finish the math with him. Dividing fractions what fun.
