Stinky me

I totally stink at keeping up with the 365 challenge. My new addiction is stamping and card making. I LOVE it almost if not just as much as soap making! I must confess it has been a while since I have been in touch with my creative, artistic side. All I need is a piano and then I will be set. As I sit here and type this the kids are at school and I am waiting impatiently for the UPS man to drop off my Ippity Stamps. I am SO excited about Ippity, hopefully the Brown Truck will show up any moment and I can get started.

Number 9

Number 9 is a little backwards because the extra page didn't work out.

Number 10 & 11

Two Creations I made over the past week. I do believe I am getting better with making cards :D

365 Challenge

Boy I got a weeks worth of 365 pics to catch up on. I have created a page just for the 365 challenge if anyone cares to take a look.

Meal Planning Monday

Not much time this week as it appears to be busy but just a wee bit of planning.

Monday:Arby's
Tuesday: Taco Soup with bread
Wednesday: Poppyseed Chicken(didn't make it last week)
Thursday: grocery Shopping day probably something easy like Crock pot BBQ ribs.
Friday: I am thinking Shrimp or Homemade Fish sticks.

Book Review

My latest read was Lady of Milkweed Manor by Julie Klassan.
Overall I thought it was a pretty good read. I didn't enjoy it as much as The Silent Governess I am not sure if it was because of some of the story lines or what but for me it was a slow mover. I don't wish to ruin it for anyone but having struggled with infertility I found the whole unwed mother thing a bit much even for me. I am glad I checked it out of the Library and didn't buy it because for me it isn't one to read over and over again like say Julie Lessman's Daughters of Boston Series


Currently I am reading another one of Klassan's book called The Apothecary's Daughter my review will follow shortly I am a little over half way done with it right now.

The Love of my Life! by Eric Fulkerson

This is my first blog experience so I thought I would dedicate it to the love of my life, my wife Carissa. Over the past seven years, almost eight, I have had the honor and blessing of having the most wonderful and beautiful wife any man could ask for. She has been such a blessing in my life words can hardly describe it. She is such a loving, compassionate, caring, amazing woman, wife, and mother. She is my best-friend and my lover. To have such a magnificent woman by my side makes life, even in the difficult times, delightful. I love you more than the highest mountain or the biggest ocean. You are the delight of my life. I love you more than imaginable.

Your Loving Husband,


Eric
