I have also been working on a winter freebie that I started some time ago- I thought I took a picture of it but I can't find it!
A facebook stitching group I'm in has WIP Wednesdays- so on Wednesday I put a (very) few stitches in this-
I don't remember what I was doing/watching while working on it but got distracted, so I didn't get very far.
I have been doing lots of reading lately- came across this great app called Scribd! There are a ton of books on there and I got a three month free trial. After the trial is up, it is only 8.99 a month I believe. It is very worth it because there are so many books available on it, and I am the type of person that has so many books that I want to read, I try to buy books used or cheap and get rid of them once I've read them. (With the exception of classics and a few books that I really really love.) So this app is going to save me a ton of money. I said I was always going to be a paperback girl but now I have finally ventured into the world of e-books. It's not so bad after all. DH got me an iPad mini for Christmas, so now I can have books with me wherever I go, and it's a bit more compact!
I am still getting the ipsy bags- I love them! It's like giving myself a present every month. And if there is something in it I don't like, usually my daughter does. ☺ This was my bag this month-

This month was a full size eyeliner, a full size lip balm, a full size eyeshadow, a tube of pink shimmer cream(I use it as a light blush), and a sample with multiple uses of daily moisturizer. Not bad for $10+ tax. If you're interested please click here to sign up. ☺ You also can get points on your account for sharing your bag on facebook or going to the site and leaving feedback on the products in your bag. The points can be cashed in for extra products. ☺☺
I did something new this year- I started a happiness jar. Has anyone heard of it? I saw it via a facebook post. You get a jar and every day on a little slip of paper write something that made you happy that day, even if it's just a little thing. Then at the end of the year go back and read all the things that made you happy. ♥ I confess I have been slacking a little bit the last week or so. I keep forgetting about it. I put it on my night stand now so at the end of the day I will remember to do it.
Please pray for my furbabies next Friday- they are both getting fixed. They have been having a little aggression toward each other and we are hoping it will help. Overall they still get along really well, but have occasionally been having fights- real ones where they actually draw blood! I have gotten some advice from friends with multiple dogs and other Corgi owners as well and several said to fix them. We did not plan on breeding them anyway so it needed to be done and done soon. Much as I would love a bunch of little Corgi babies running around, I do not have any dog breeding experience. And I would probably want to keep them all. ♥ I can't afford that!
I have been loving my drives home lately- this is the time of year that the sun is setting as I drive home so I see many beautiful skies! Here are a couple-
DH went to a fishing expo a few weekends ago- while he was there he saw a man selling hedgehogs and send me this picture-
Look at that cutie! I have wanted a hedgehog for a long time. I thought maybe he was going to buy me one- but alas- when he went to find out how much they were the man was gone. :( Oh well, maybe next year? hee hee..
Well... that's the latest! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and new year! We had a very nice one- my mother-in-law was visiting and we had a great time.
I will sign off with my sweeties- they were wanting my Life cereal when I took this.
Not the best photo because of course they both moved!
