I found this blog called: Lovely Handwritten Notes on tumblr.
So I thought why not write to this person who lives in the snow of D.C.
Since I have a P.O.Box its safe.
Remember I'm trying to do 52 new things in this year so this is stepping out of the box and handwritting a letter to a stranger.
I decided to use that easy stamp that makes a pretty card and gets my craft on.
I added the hearts well, to tell you the truth, its covering up a mistake of some bad flowers. But, I think it looks good. It's still the month of Feb. its heart month.
The blue bird gives it the out doors look...hahaha.
I also found another man who is writing a letter a day for the whole year. I'm going to send him a card too.
I know I should just write to my own friends!
Feb.1: On my plate
This is what I had to eat while I watched the

My parking spot, not my favorite spot but, its all mine.
Feb.16:From where I stand
A girl can never have enough Almay.
I always have fun making my eyes look amazing!
Feb.17:Routine
Every day I text my daughter "Good Morning" with a little fun or haha along with it.
You can also see I read Oprah too.
I had fun looking for these photo's, I'm getting better at finding things with every week that passes.
It's going to be Thursday, a week goes fast with Monday being a holiday and taking off Tuesday because it was needed!
Thanks for stopping by.
I found a guy named Reed Sandridge who is writing a letter everyday.
I know how did I find him??
WEll, I was looking on blogs to find how to write a good letter and stumbled across this one blog that he had left a comment and so I wrote him a letter.
I know I'm strange but, that is who I am.
That's a lot of stamps and thinking about what to write.
I hope he gets it done. I work so many hours that it is not something I could do right now.
When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone?
You can always write to me

I had a great day off, I did what I wanted to do..nothing.
SO I'm off to sleep to start another long week..well not so long!!
These look hard this week!
This is what I try to do every day..some days are easier then others!..can you see why??
Happy Valentines Day!
I made this from a thin metal tin, you can use chalk to write on it. But, sine I put this out on my friends grave I used white nail polish.
I have the best daughter ever. She went outside after I went to bed to pick these from my only rose bush.
When I woke up I could smell roses and found them on the kitchen table..so excited.
Got a little crafty here.
I found these..lets call them french fry boxes..at Michael's. I bought "happy valentine " ribbon and some heart spongy stickers and put these together, then put in some candy.
I think my kids were only excited about finding out what kind of candy they got. It really holds alot of candy.
My kitchen table.
I also bought them some fun gifts.
I got Princess P a Bose speaker that is that cool teal color, Danger D got wheels for his long board and Special K got a controler for his playstation. They were all excited.
Somehow I always make Valentine gifts better then xmas.
On the left you can see the metal heart container, I'm going to put a light in it when it gets dark and light up my table.
I have today off, only because I wanted yesterday off and like always didn't get it off. So I had to beg for today off and Wow..got it!
It's a really pretty day here, I'm going to go take a walk, day 14 for this exercise program..shhh don't tell anyone but it looks like I have 7 pounds off so far...yeah!
I also have Monday off for Presidents Day. I hope to get some crafting done along with some reading. I've been listen to a "playaway" and it stopped working so, now I want to know what happen at the end of the story, got the book from the library.
I have a friend who is doing a Wrecked Journal..I'm going to look for one of those, it looks like fun. Maybe Princess P will do a few pages with me.
I have been doing pretty good with my Photo-A-Day, I just need to put them up here so you can see them too. On the group that I join on FB there is a host that picks top 5 pictures of the day and I want to be one of them so bad. So I try so hard to get a good shot that isn't blurry..lol
Lets see if I can get things done.
Have a great Valentine's Day.
My first try at "Zucchini Bread".
I don't have a very good way of putting my cook book together so a little note book is how it goes.
I have never grated a zucchini, it wasn't to hard.
2 cups
one cup of chopped walnuts.
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. cinnamon
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 1/4 cup white sugar
3 tsp. vanilla
I missed the other bowl.
1st. bowl: Swift flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
2nd bowl: beat eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar
then
add 1st bowl to 2nd bowl, then stir in zucchini and walnuts.
Two 8 X 4 pans...I used what I had, they weren't this size.
grease the pans and add some flour
Heat oven to 325
Evenly add batter to pans.
My very used and not clean oven.
I put these on my cookies sheet so the bottom wouldn't burn.
BAKE 40-60 min's.
Look how beautiful they turned out!
So proud of myself.
It's really good, even my kids liked it.
I love this plate, I've had the whole set since I started my hope chest in 1981..I used them for awhile then, put them away because you can't put them in the microwave and thats all I needed was my kids to see these dishes spark!

I found this great Photo-A-Day list...now you can see what I am trying to do.
I did awful last month, but hopefully, even with lots of hours at work I will be able to do better this month.
Today Feb. 1st. is "On my plate", since its Super Bowl Sunday I have a foot ball plate with a grilled cheese sandwich and Black berries. Somehow this computer doesn't want me to put it on my blog so when I get some help I will add it here.
I also did some baking today that I would love to share!
Have a great Sunday!
