Dea's Blog!

Check out my friend Deanne's blog from down east in Newfoundland!
She is one creative soul! I love looking at her work.

Her stuff ROCKS!
I got the info to check out my name and what it means below...
Thanks Dea! Very cool...

What Does Your Name Mean?

What Kimberley Means...

You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life.
You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip.
People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.
Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.



You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.


Hmmmm... an interesting evaluation. I think it's pretty scary actually. Some stuff above I would quibble with - but not much!
Try it out for yourself...

2008 LOs #4 and 5

I am counting the birthday invites as LO #3. It certainly took as long as a LO...
I cannot seem to get the tickerfactory ticker to work for me. I can't sign back in and update for some weird reason!

Anyway, I will keep track here:

#4 is the "Dark Days of Fashion". It was fun flipping through the old pics looking at the big hair, crazy huge eyeglasses we all had and funky crazy outfits. Man - and the eyebrows. I wonder when it was that I found my first pair of tweezers???

Anyway, here is it in all its ugly paper, brilliant orange grungeboard glory!




#5 My Baby is 7
I am struggling a lot with the kids getting older. I really love the funny things they say and the cool stuff I can do with them and that they are a little more independent now. But I hate to think that someday - they just won't need me anymore... ..and they are still so young I can't believe that I worry about it?!!

I think I will add some personal thoughts on a journalling tag behind the picture.. but for now - here it is:



This was my first LO of the year... Gabby has tons of passwords and user names for her different programs, Webkinz, Barbie girls, Epets etc etc and we always can't remember them if she hasn't been online in a while... So the info is all stored on the pulltab and it is a 6x6 LO so I keep it next to the laptop for easy access for her!

Birthday Invites for G!




Gabby and I made these together for her school friends. The back will have all the invitation information!


Just got this one done.. My 2nd LO of 2008! I am keeping tracking this year and want to see if I can get to 200 by the end of 2008. Maybe not - but it is good to have a goal I guess...

I am looking forward to taking over Dave's home office space when he changes jobs next week! That will be nice to get everything out of the dining room!
Hooray!
