Thank You For All The Happy Birthday Wishes.....

I wanted to Thank You for ALL of your sweet Happy Birthday wishes today!! You are all so amazing and so super sweet. Today my Two Pink Peas facebook page was filled with nothing but Happy Birthday's and it was SO SO SO sweet!! Thank you so much for thinking of me and taking the time to wish me a Happy Birthday!!! I appreciate each and every one of you and I wish I could give each of you a big ole' hug!! Today I had to get my drivers license renewed and boy was that fun..lol (kidding!! doing that is never fun..lol). Then I had some errands to run so I really did not do anything special. Usually we go out to dinner but since our kids have school and I was busy running around getting things done we did not go out to eat this time. I am sure you are all wondering what my husband got me for my birthday. Well, this is what he is giving me...This is something he has never done before and I was shocked when he told me what he wanted to do. Late last night he came to me and told me that he is setting up a special bank account for my
Two Pink Peas Craft Room and when our new house is built  I will have between $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 to do whatever I want. I can use part of it to decorate my room and use the other part to purchase more craft supplies (like I really need that..lol) but how SWEET is that? So to date this is the best birthday gift I have ever received from him. I have been doing some research on the internet and looking at other craft rooms and I found ALOT of amazing ideas on how I want my Two Pink Peas Craft Room to look. So when we move in to our new house I will be posting LOTS of pictures on the progress of my TPP Craft Room. I can't wait to get in there and get started and wish that I could work in it every single day starting right now, but I will have to wait just a bit longer. But I wanted Thank you each and every one of you who wished me a Happy Birthday today!! Probably one of my favorite parts of today was stopping and feeding the stray kittens before I came home. When I pulled into the parking lot where they live they were ALL out of the drain and omg...they are growing SO much. They are absolutely adorable. I just wish I could find them homes, I am still working on it and my goal is to get them homes before winter comes. They cannot survive being outside where we live because we are in the snow belt. I refuse to take them to a kill shelter.. it has to be a NO kill shelter and I will find one, I just wish I could get them out of the drains right now. It really tears my heart to see them living in there. Then when I came home Casey made me this beautiful handmade card wishing me a Happy Birthday and Hallie had all of these little gifts for me. They are so sweet and very thoughtful!! :o)

Then of course walking in my door and getting tons of kisses and lots of love from Bella.. that is always the BEST..

It is so amazing to me how much Bella loves me.. She is the best gift and she sure loves her mama!!! 

Before I go, I want to also thank you ALL for entering my birthday blog candy giveaway. It is going to take me a few days to get the results and verify everything and as soon as I figure out who won I will announce the winner!! If I could I would give one of these kits to each and every one of you, that is the hardest part of doing giveaways! At least for me, I hate to let other's down and I LOVE to give so this is really difficult for me. I am currently working with a couple new sponsors so be on the look out for those announcements!!

Over all it was a pretty good day and that is all that matters to me!!

Big Cricut Hugs!!!

P.S. Big Lots has the Cricut Cake on sale for $140.00!!

What a GREAT deal so if you have been looking or wanting a Cricut Cake call your closest Big Lots and see if they have them there. What a great deal!!! I almost got one but I don't really bake cakes that much so I don't think I would use it that often. Good Luck if you are looking for one..

I really hope you can get one!! Hugs to you all!!

Two Pink Peas Tuesday's Tool Of The Week...

Hi guys!! For this Two Pink Peas Tuesday's Tool Of The Week (say that 5 times in a row fast..lol) I decided to chose the Cricut GoBe. I wanted to pick something different and something that not everyone has heard of or has used before. The GoBe is a portable battery powered charging station and power hub.  It's great to use with your Cricut. You can actually use it the GoBe to power other items as well, like small appliances, lamps, computers, pda's, radios, cell phones, etc. This battery pack allows you to take your Cricut machines anywhere you wish and not have to worry about finding an power outlet. Imagine taking this to scrapbooking or card making get togethers, camping or anywhere else. With the GoBe you have the freedom of using your Cricut machines anywhere. There is also a GoBe Briefcase available too. It's not necessarily something that everyone would need, but if you do ever need power when none is available ... this tool is sure handy to have. The Solar Briefcase is a briefcase type design that opens up to reveal solar panels that charge in the sun. It is a portable recharging station for the GoBe and extends the life of the GoBe's power. You can find this online in many places. I hope you all enjoy seeing the tools that I pick out each and every Tuesday.

On to me, I feel bad that I have not posted very much lately. I have been busy with our house selling and building and then I decided that I needed to take some "me" time. With things being so crazy it was so nice to just relax and not have to worry about anything for a few days. We are pretty sure that we have our new house plans all done. My Two Pink Peas Room is going to be so amazing. It is actually a bonus room off of my master bedroom. I can't wait to get in there and start decorating it and get back to making cards and scrapbook pages. Once our house is done I will be posting tons and tons of pictures of our whole house but more importantly my Two Pink Peas Room. Lately I have been looking online for inspiration and decorating ideas. It is going to be a seriously amazing creative space just for me and I am so excited for that. Thanks for visiting my blog and as always I love to read your comments or suggestions. Take care and talk to you all soon.. ~Terri

Sorry That I Have Not Posted In Over A Week...

Things have been crazy around my house lately and that is why I have not been able to post lately. So I thought that I would just give you all a quick update as to what has been going on with me.

First of all Mother's Day was amazing, as usual!! My sweet daughter Hallie made me a card with a homemade cd with some pictures of cards that I made and some other pictures on it. It was really really sweet. I will post a picture of that soon. Maybe even tomorrow. Then I got to order a new Coach purse. Coach is my favorite handbag brand and although I have alot of them I really needed a new one so I got that. You can never ever have to many handbags, right?? At least I can't!! :o) LOL Then I got my favorite...Chinese food, which was so yummy!! Oh, how can I forget? I also got some new crafting supplies which I will post a picture of those soon too. I got a few new cartridges, new paper and some other random things that I needed. Well, not really needed but wanted..lol.  I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day, even those of you who are not mommy's.. I hope you at least got to spend time with your Mother. What a special day to honor your Mother!

We have been crazy busy with our house. Lately we have been getting alot of interest and at the same time we are working on the house that we are building. My Two Pink Peas Craft Room is going to be a bit bigger then we thought. My husband Den rearranged some of the space and it will pretty much be the size of a normal bedroom. I am really excited about that. We are just finalizing the final details of the floor plan. It is alot harder then I thought it was going to be. Fun but very tedious!

When we move in I will be getting both the Imagine and probably the CE2 also. I don't want to get them right now because I have not been able to make cards and stuff like I want to with our house on the market. We never know day to day if someone wants to come see our house so everything is put up. Plus, I really don't want to get them and have them sit in the boxes for 5 or 6 months and then pull them out to use them and have something be wrong with them. That would not be good. So that is why I am waiting.

Also, I have about 4 or 5 brand new, never linked to Gypsy Cricut Cartridges that I am going to put up for sale, some are Imagine and I thought I would give you all first dibs if you are interested. In the next coming days I will make a post about what I have and how much and if you are interested in them just let me know and we will work something out. I can tell you that 1 is the Cars Decals Cartridge, then I have the Audrey Cricut Imagine Cartridge, Snapshot Everyday Cricut Imagine, Speaking Of Fall and Cricut Office. That is all I can think of off the top of my head. I might have more but will have to look and see. But I will post the details in the next few days for you all. The prices will be really great and lower the usual. So more to come about that later.

I hope all is going well with all of you. Although I have been busy I am still visiting alot of your blogs to see what you all have been up to. Hopefully things will settle down and I will be able to pull my supplies out and do some creating.
It is a chore to pull it all out but worth it. I miss being able to make cards anytime I wish! But once we move into our new house I will be creating almost daily, which is exciting to me.
Gonna run and head to bed..it is 6 am I have to get up early because we have a few appointments tomorrow.
Have a great day everyone!
Thanks for stopping by Two Pink Peas!! ~Terri

YAY!! We Have A Piece Of Property & A New House To Build!!

Hi guys! Great great news for our family!! So as I have said many many times that we are selling our house and we have been looking for properties all over the place trying to find the perfect one for our family. We just got an email from the builder and have picked out the perfect piece of property and are building the most beautiful house and we are SO excited!! I just wanted to share this with you all. In our new house we are making a My Two Pink Peas Room just for my crafting and card making and I am the most excited over this. Now I just have to pack up all of my crafting supplies

<sniff sniff> and put most of it away. I will still have access to it but it is going to be difficult digging everything out if I want to make a card. It is all worth it though! Lots of pictures to come. This first picture is of just the lot itself before we have done anything. The second picture is of the street. There are only 12 houses in this neighborhood and there will never be more then 12. I love that!! The last picture is of my son Casey and my husband walking the property. These were taken just a few minutes ago. You can see our truck in the little driveway.

As we start building our house I will update you all with pictures of the building process. I just wanted to share this with you all. Busy busy day ahead!! We are so very excited!!

Talk to ya all soon!! ~Terri
