GOOD morning friends!! How are you this fine Sunday!! Today is going to be a BUSY day for sure!! The whole camera thing has REALLY caused a domino effect!!

NEW CAMERA....IN-DECISION!!!

Hey there everyone! Better late then never....huh? Well, I have a NEW camera, as I mentioned before! I am just a BIT undecided, at the moment! I am not sure if I like this one! Haha! I HAD a Sony, Cybershot, which was old and DID get a lot of use. I NOW have a Nikon, Coolpix. I am thinking this is better? The megapixels are higher and so is the zoom. However, one thing that is interesting, is the uploading to my computer. It is MORE time consuming and definitely diff!! Hmmmm! Needless to say......the jury is still out!! SO...I apologize for the delay! BUT.....as the days and posts go on....you will see why!! Haha!!
Since I was thrown a BIT behind, by this whole camera issue.....I WILL POST MY NUTCRAFTERS' creation tomorrow!! I will post that and another SASSY SNEAK and......a SURPRISE SNEAK!! Woohoo!! SASSY STUDIOS will have a NEW release on 12/1!! Cannot wait, for you to see ALL the SASSINESS!! I hope you like today's sneak, as much as I do!! I just think she is SUPER cute!! You know you want to buy her a drink!! Her name is DAQUIRI!! She was SO fun to color up!! KNow what else is AWESOME about her? You can use SO many sentiments with her!! How TOTALLY awesome is that? Ok......stop babbling....right? Here is MY Sassy DAQUIRI!! Have an AWESOME night!! Could you all let me know what cameras you all have!! AND? What you think of them! Tahnks for stopping back and ENJOY LIFE!!!

We are getting together with Eric's family today!! SO.......I will be back!! I can't wait to see the pix, from this NEW camera!! I got a Nikon and the battery is charging as we speak!! Have an AWESOME day and THANK YOU so much for stopping by!! SO sorry everything is a bit behind, due to this whole camera thing!!! BUT....I promise it will be worth the wait!! Worth waiting for the SASSY sneaks and I believe the pics are going to be better, then they were with the OLD camera!! YAY!! Gotta love that!! See you later, ENJOY LIFE!!!

DELIGHTFUL BLACK , FREEBIE, FRIDAY...........

HI there guys and gals!! I say guys.....because.....hopefully my dad has caught on to this and is checking it out! Haha! How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you all had a WONDERFUL time!! SO sorry for the LATE post and I am sure you already know it, BUT..........today is FREEBIE FRIDAY!!! Wendy, over at Digital Delights, has a SUPER cute one for you too!!! I SO wish I would have had time to create something to show you!! I had ALL intentions on doing so, however with the whole Thanksgiving thing, it did NOT get done!! Not to mention that whole BLACK FRIDAY, stores opening at midnight, thing!! Haha!! Lesson number ONE..........NEVER attempt to go to ToysRus on Thanksgiving night!!! ATTEMPT....being the key word!! Haha! You should have seen that place!! People were parked OUTSIDE the parking lot....along the road? They were parked UP on the curb, in between trees! They were parked ACROSS the street, at the park!! GEEZ!! Let's not leave out the fact that, they had a LINE around to the back of the building; the far end, of the back of the building!! Know what that line was for? To get IN!! Needless to say.....my sister and I? We headed to Old Navy!! At least that was better? Thanks to their ad being marked with the INCORRECT, opening time!! Granted.......the line to check out was INSANE? To the back of the store? BUT....that is to be expected!! Even I am not that delusional!! Were we REALLY missing out on something?? MAN!! Who knew that EVERYONE in Lancaster county, preferred to stay up late and shop........ versus getting up early!! Huh??! WHO knew!!
OK.....sorry about that LITTLE rant!! You know me! Here is what YOU, don't want to miss today!! Check out this FREEBIE, being offered at the DIGITAL DELIGHTS SNR GROUP and PCP PAGE!!! Woohoo!! Make sure to go pick yours up!! Have an AWESOME day, hope you get LOTS of bargains, and I will see you later this evening for a SUPER, SWEET, SASSY sneak, as promised!! Haha!! ENJOY LIFE!!!

Well hello there, my SASSY friends!! How are you today? It's Thursday!! We are almost there! How has your week been going? Ours has been QUITE busy!! Did I tell you the Kitty story?

Well, I will try and make this brief, I promise! HAha! We had found a kitty, hanging around our yard, so of course I had to try and take care of it!! Haha!! I put food an water out where it was hiding, under our deck. Well, it couldn't get to the food and water I normally keep out front!! Then of course it began to get colder over night, and I made a little box for it! I used an old piece of rug and some blankets. When it started to drizzle, I moved it to the front porch! This POOR animal is SO mal-nourished, it is sickening!!!! If you have ever seen Animal Planet's Animal Rescure episodes, you know what I a saying!! You can see EVERY bone! Anyway, my heart was breaking for this little thing. Since we were not sure how healthy it was or if it was carrying any contagious diseases, we decided to take it to a vet. We could NEVER bring it in, if we didn't! Let me tell you, that is a story in itself!! There is NO one out there to help these POOR neglected animals!!!! I must have called everywhere, including our own vet, which I assure you we will never go to again!! Now, don't get me wrong, I UNDERSTAND that if these Vets saw EVERY stray, they couldn't stay in business!! That I am sure of, because there are a TON!! However, I know in the dental field, there are clinics where Dentists volunteer. They volunteer to help those less fortunate, because they NEED care too! Well, my friends? Animals are the same!! Would you believe I even called ORCA and the ASPCA? From what I have learned, they ONLY allow you to surrender the animal, NOT help it!! OK...I opened a HUGE can of worms and cannot keep it short!!! So I will wrap it up!! Haha!! Imagine that!!
To make a long story short, the kitty was NOT a kitty, she is abour 10 yrs old!! I was SO shocked, she weighs oNLY 5 lbs!! The vet we took her to was VERY nice and helped her out a lot!! She was given a dose of flea meds and we were told NOT to let her in for a few days or so. So......we shall see!! She is SO sweet and must have been someones pet!! I am going to post some signs, in our neighborhood, and see what happens. If no one has lost her? Then we will take care of her!!

Anyway!! Sorry about that!! That is ONE subject I am passionate about; stray, neglected animal!! Alrighty, the reason why you are here is to see what the DARE TO BE SASSY challenge is, right? Well, here it is!! The challenge is to create a recipe card! Cool huh? Head over to the SASSY STUDIO BLOG, for all the deets!!! Hope you will play along!! Sorry I bored you with my little babbling!! Haha!! Make sure to visit the other SASSY challenge girls!!! Have an AWESOME day!! There will be LOTS to share tomorrow, so stop back!!! I will have the DIGITAL DELIGHTS freebie Friday and you know what else there is!! Don't you? It is the MUCH anticipated, NEW MOON release and there are several diff hops to go along with it!!! Cannot wait 'till tomorrow!!! We are going to have a BLAST!!! See you then!! ENJOY LIFE!!

**YOUR CHALLENGE THIS WEEK IS TO CREATE AN EASEL CARD,
IF YOU DARE!!!!

GOOD MORNING!!! GOOD MORNING!!! WOOHOO!! All I can say is......I did it, I did it!!! Haha!! I did an easel card!! Can you believe it? That is our challenge this week, for WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAYS challenge #11!!! I gotta tell ya'.....when I saw this? I FREAKED, juuuuuust a little bit!! Haha! Judging by my reaction, you can ONLY assume, that I have NEVER done one of these!! AND??......That would be correct!!!
SO.......you can imagine my surprise when I was finished and it looked like it does below!! WOW!! I thought to myself......now Jacquie....that wasn't SO bad and....why did you get SO worked up!! I mean.....seriously!! I was that put off by the idea? I actually made this at 2:00 this morning!!! Nothing like putting things off 'till the last minute, huh? Anyway, now that you have read my silliness, hope you like my EASEL creation!! I used my Tatiana Ketto stamp, from Stamping Bella! Although I DO love this stamp? I don't know that I should have used it!!! That, my friends, is another story!! Since I can tend to be wordy? AND? Talk your ear off? I will leave it for another day!! Haha!! Suffice to say, I had a BIT of a bad experience there and that is the truth of it!!
OK.....so...you KNOW you want to make an EASEL card, now don't you? Head over to the WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY blog and check out today's FEATURED DAREDEVIL, Randy!!! She is AWESOMATED, without a doubt!! That and you will want to get the info for posting/uploading your creation and such!! I know I said this week was a week of FIRSTS? I think this counts, don't you? Hope you will join us this week and can't wait to see what you create!! Heck, now that I know how to do this? I MAY just have to make another!! Have an AWESOME day and join me tomorrow for some MORE fun stuff!!! ENJOY LIFE!!!
