Things Are Looking Brighter

Today I am un-frustrated. The sun is shining, I don't have to deal with the snow, "Aunt Flo" packed up her bags and left town, all of the laundry baskets are empty--yes, I said empty (at least for now), my kids ate their dinner without 1 complaint AND they all asked for seconds, my stamp set is in from Close To My Heart, my pages are done for my exchange on February 5th, I now officially have my own scrapbook room downstairs, AND I won a giveaway!! Thanks to Tigger at My Support Blog for the AWESOME Sunshine package!! I wanted to take pictures of all of my loot but this new computer still won't let me post pictures on my blog--stupid!! Anyways here's what was in the package: a card, a bookmarker, a yellow package of Chiclets, a pack of Starburst, yellow and orange socks, yellow smiley-face mints, a sunshine hand towel, hot pad and oven mitt, a Sanctuary Spa Weekend Pamper Kit and a Sunflower Salt City Candle set. WHOO HOO!! Things are looking brighter!!

I'm glad today is brighter! Do you think you could send ol'd Aunt Flo to my house..to pick up her crap!? I don't want her staying with me either!

You deserved the sunshine package! Glad things are looking up. I can't get my laundry baskets empty no matter what I do, it seems. ;)

Congrats on winning! It was the perfect time for the sunshine package and how awesome to have your own scrapbook room! I would love that- it seems like all my scrap stuff is all over the place.

Jules AF said...

Can you send me a sunshine package? Complete with something to knock me out at night so I can stop worrying about everything. Tylenol PM doesn't work.... booo I need some sunshine.

Brooke said...

Sounds like you hit the jackpot! I'm glad today is brighter! You deserve it.

Kristen said...

So glad things are looking up!

Remember that dinner so you know what to make to get them to eat. Although their taste probably changes daily.

Congratulations on the package. They are so fun to receive and give!

Shauna said...

So glad things are looking up and that you love everything I sent you :) ♥Hugs!

Jo said...

Yay for brighter! You totally deserve every ray of sunshine that has come your way!

Sounds like a great day. I'm glad. Always feel good to have laundry done and Aunt Flo outta the house!

Unknown said...

So glad to hear that you got your own scraproom! I think your bad weather is headed my way! 5 to 8 inches headed my way! Maybe I will get some scrapping done. Happy you had a better day.

Congratulations on your sunny win! That's great!

I love all the pictures all over your blog. It all looks so cute!

You have a scrapbooking room too? I just moved mine upstairs from the basement. I still do paper scrapbooking. I haven't gone into digital yet.

Kristen said...

Well I am glad that today is better and I want to come and see your scrapbook room. You know what make you feel even better? If I come over and eat your starbursts for you- oh, wait that would make MY day better :0)

Jillene said...

Blue Violet-
I still paper scrap too. I don't think that I will ever go digital. I am actually a part of 2 page exchange groups. We decide on a topic and then you make 12 - 2 page layouts and then we swap. So I walk away with 12 - 2 page layouts already assembled and ready for pictures. We meet every 3 months. It's AWESOME!!

I'd say they are looking brighter! Just the thought of empty laundry baskets brings a giddy laugh to my lips. What a fun Sunshine Package...you deserve it.

Lee said...

I'm glad that your day was better! I wish I could say the same for myself.

I'm jealous, though. I want a sunshine kit! I need some sunshine! Bah!

Unknown said...

what better for you to win than a sunshine package!
i hope you have fun with that when you get it!
i want you to know i am having a better day also..thanks for your encouragement!

Strawberry Shortcake said...

I am happy you are feeling better. Aunt Flo is such a pain and non-complaining kids are the best :)

Congratulations on your win!

Paige said...

If all my laundry baskets were empty, I would have to be in the wrong house

Wendyburd1 said...

I'm glad your day was bright, that sounds like a cute package!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

The minute I clicked on your post I could hear the angel choir singing!!!

Aunt Flow is a creep. I do not like her one little bit. Everything goes bad when she shows up. Ugh!

What a happy treat for you (sunshine stuff!) And kids asking for seconds...does it get better than that?????

(Thanks for the bday wishes! That rocked Cat's world!)

Heather of the EO said...

Yay for a better day! I find I go from frustrated to better to frustrated to better over and over pretty much every other day. Very cool that you won a giveaway! Fun.

Sheri, RN said...

Yay! I am glad things are going better for you today. Having your own scrapbook room is awesome too by the way!

rychelle said...

sunshine always helps, doesn't it?!?

what'd you make for dinner?

Jillene said...

Rychelle-
I made BBQ Meatloaf, Mashed Red Potatoes and Carrots. I don't do gravy so I make the potatoes nice and buttery and with salt and pepper. I was really worried about the BBQ sauce but my kids LOVED it. HOORAY for Sweet Baby Ray's!!

Melissa said...

How nice that you have your own scrapbooking room! I think I would scrapbook more if I had a room designated just for scrapbooking...I think the hardest part for me is having to get everything out and then having to put everything away each time I want to scrapbook. A scrapbooking room is a great idea!

So glad your having a better day today!

Jen said...

It's YOUR day! Gotta love it! I hope the sun keeps shining your way! You deserve it.

Bonnie the Boss said...

Holly said...

So glad you won, so glad you are feeling better, so happy for your little scrapbook room.
