under my umbrella-ella-ella eh-eh-eh..

Ok, maybe I'm not so witty. *lol*

Who watched last night's 20/20 episode with Rhianna? I have to admit - I'm not a huge fan of Rhianna or Chris Brown. And the incident between the 2 of them back in February left me speechless - he beat HER up? And she WENT BACK to him? What kind of examples are they setting?

I watched the interview out of curiousity...to see what she had to say. I kind of feel bad for her...for both of them, actually. She revealed A LOT about that night back in February. I think if he's able to rise from it now that she's done this interview, it will be a surprise. Only time will tell, I guess.

Anyway, in brighter news, here's my card for today:

Super simple card - my favorite! I used Taylored Expressions' October Key Ingredients kit for the CS, DP and ribbon. The image is from an image swap back in August from SCS - I think it's a Sugar Nellie image. It took me a while to work up the nerve to finally color this image! It was really intimidating having so much area to cover. I'm still experimenting with where the light comes from and shading and stuff. I colored her up with my Copics and I'm really happy with the way she turned out. :)

So what do you have planned for the weekend? Today I'm hostessing a Pampered Chef party so I'm super excited! I LOVE kitchen gadgets. :) And I'm super excited to get a Tool Turn About to keep my Copics in. (If I find where the link is, I'll come back and let you know!). But yes, I do love to cook and bake and gadgets are my weakness. So excited for today's cooking show and eating some yummy food!

Before I go here's a survey my BFF tagged me with so I better fill it out! *lol*

1. My childhood ambition: a doctor. but I think my earliest memory was that I wanted to be a famous singer.

2. My retreat: having a few hours of just straight CRAFTING time uninterrupted... with something playing on the TV, of course (right now I'm watching old episodes of Dawson's Creek! *lol*) No phones. No one crying in the background. No one looking for me. *sigh* sounds so fabulous just thinking about it.

3. The perfect day: Spending it on a vacation with my family - either Disneyland or Hawaii... And then coming home to a very clean and clutter-free house. *lol*

4. My first job was: a video store clerk.

5. My wildest dream: Carl and I would actually compete in The Amazing Race and WIN.

6. If my life was a musical it would be called: get back to me on that one. It's a toughie! (And I have Tarzan playing on the TV. It's kinda hard to think right now. *lol*)

7. My proudest moment: receiving my acceptance letter into Nursing school and getting a job after I graduated. My wedding day. The moment my kids were born (in no particular order of amount of proud-ness, just going in order of when things happened.)

8. My favorite item of clothing: my Ugg boots.

9. I feel ready for the day when I: eat breakfast and Jonah does too.

10. I COULD live without: a new purse... but it's too fun shopping for them!

And now, I'm supposed to tag a few people... Ady, Ashley, Kim, Lisa, & Kristine - here you go! (BTW, I don't get offended if you don't have time to fill these out! So...no pressure! *lol*)

Have a beautiful Saturday! :)

Your card is just darling! It's pouring here, so I could use a few umbrellas. Now that song is stuck in my head, lol.

[Ashley]

This is so cute! I love it! I will try to do this tag. I'm so flippin busy! How do you have time to work?!?

[Corinne]

Super adorable- love the "hills" and good job on the coloring! Yes, I think CB's career is ruined but in some ways, Rhianna's is too. The cycle of abuse is too sad-- I think her self esteem was probably shot and that was why she took him back. Love your answer to #4!

LOL... Thanks for getting my off the hook. I did one the other day so I'm good on the surveys for awhile but I do love reading them.

Sweet girl, thanks for the tag! I'm so sorry I haven't been around sooner. Time is racing by on me and I'm truly getting frustrated! But I'm now off work for a whole week, so hopefully I'll get caught up... just in time for the hectic holiday season! LOL

I've been looking through all your last several posts and loving what I've seen! You are so talented Jo. I love your sweet spirit and your amazing cards and layouts. Yowser, Marie was so RIGHT to pick you for the digi design team. I LOVE your layouts.

I hope you are all well now, and that you can find another spot to craft in...or draw a line down the center of the room and let your daughter have half and you have the other! LOL

Hugs, dear friend. Hopefully my next visit won't be so long.
