POTD....Color & Organizing!

This Post is SO not SCRAPBOOK related :)

Since the weekend has begun, I thought I'd share just 2 

Pictures of the Day...

I'm embracing my new hair color...(no more gray)!!!

& I'm starting phase one of organizing my dressing room/closets.

Now, I need to begin removing price tags hanging up all of my purchases so that I can shop in my own dressing room. I hope to have 90% of it done by Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by...Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Tuesday Toot!!

This past weekend has been somber..as I'm dealing with death in my family.

But as I went thru emails...

I was presently surprised to find out that I was selected to be a

 part of the Nuts About Sketches Design TEAM!

I thank Shawn Lahr for selecting me as I just LOVE sketches to create with!

Hopefully, I will get alot of creating done to get my mind into a happy place.

BTW today is National Pancake Cake Day at IHOP.

Everyone can get unlimited short stack of pancakes. They are requesting a donation instead for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. I definitely will try to stop there today.

Hope all of you have great Tuesday!..

Picture of the day ...is our first "real snowfall" of 2013. 

These pictures are from Thursday January 24th. Unfortunately, these were the pictures taken when I was leaving to take the kids to school. By they time they came home...it had melted :(

But while I'm typing...it's snowing again....expected 1-2 inches & the temp is 18 degrees & dropping!!! Can't wait to make watch the kids play in the snow so that I can take pics (hee hee).

Who would have "thunk it"??? Shots???

........I never would have never thunk  thought that Dunkin' Donuts has SHOTS!!! Dunkin' Donuts is my daily stop in the morning & some afternoons. I order the same coffee every single day since as long as I've been drinking coffee...maybe 25 years /??? Large regular medium roast coffee with six cream & six sugars  (down to 5 & 5 since December). Yup light & sweet!~ But this morning when I walked in the male "Barista" (do you call guys that??) said I looked really tired...He asked if I wanted a shot added to my coffee. For those that know me, for a brief moment I had thoughts of Ciroc/Patron/Grey Goose (hee hee)... I said SURE!!! 
So, I drank half of the cup & instantly I felt alive.

Now, that shot is actually called a "Turbo Shot" & it gives coffee a extra jolt! Now, I'm not going to add this to my daily coffee consumption...so, I'll leave it up the "Barista" !

BTW...I'll definitely have to ask why they are still using the Holiday cups LOL!
