My Digital Studio Calendar – February

This 'n' That

27 Dec

Before I start my calendar post I want to say Happy Birthday to my little sister Jacqui, (Jax for short), I miss her tons, and wish she lived closer, we have missed so much in each others lives by us living so far apart, when I go home to Canada to visit, when I come back home to Arizona, I will admit I am depressed for a while to realize how much we have missed.  Jacqui is one of those lucky people to have a birthday near Christmas day, now that we are older it is not as big of a deal, but growing up when you are young…yeah what a pain. "But that present was for Christmas and your birthday"…yeah whatever right?

Here is me and baby Jacqui! I don't know who is happier me or her?

Here we are last year at Jacqui's house when we pulled the surprise on Vicki for Victopia.  Again, I don't know who is happier, me or her…but now she is taller then me, so I am her older, littler sister…ha! OMG! Jacqui and I sound just the same, and we laugh the same too, in fact when we laugh our noses wiggle and so does Mum's too and then we point at each others noses and laugh all the more.  But we sound so much alike, when I met Vicki (Jacqui's BFF)for the first time (Jacqui was not there), she kept saying "oh you sound just like Jacqui" and that made her miss Jacqui all the more.  In fact we sound so much alike that years ago when I used to work out of the house I called home and left a message for Jeff on the recorder "Hi, call me when you get home", so hours later I come home, and I beat Jeff home, and I hit play on the recorder and hear "Hi, call me when you get home", so I am like oh Jacqui called, wonder what she wants. So I pick up the phone and call Jacqui and she is like "I never called" and then I am like oh my gosh that was my voice and message for Jeff…now how stupid can ya be?  We got a good chuckle out of that one. So anyway little sister dear, I wish you a very Happy Birthday, and I love you and miss you and hope you get your butt to Arizona this year…or else!!!

OK back to the calendar posting…

This should make the men happy, they got a month before us girls did.

This one makes me smile and makes my heart tug a little, and my eyes tear a lot.  I sure wish that my BFF Tracy and her cutie patootie hubby Steve lived closer, we are such a compatible foursome it is spooky. The guys enjoy each other just as much as us girls do, (except I bet our conversations are much more interesting then theirs) and we can all hang out together or off on our own and not have to worry the others are not having fun. Tracy gets here in 10 days, so I can hardly think straight.  I asked Jeff the other day "do you think I can lose 20 pounds before Tracy gets here?" and he said "sure, I can cut it off ya"…ugh, isn't that a horrible thing, but funny too…cause he isn't serious… I remember growing up I wanted bigger boobs and my Granny has lots of boobs, well she only has two of them, but there is a bunch…and she used to say I could have some of hers.  Yeah we are quite the wacky bunch ain't we?  I can see some of you thinking of hitting the unsubscribe button, (content no longer relevant) and some of you nodding your head remembering saying the same things to your family, you are just smart enough to keep it to yourself…ha! That reminds me the time that Uncle Fester went down to the….oh never mind…

Here is February's month…

February 2010 topper
February 2010 month

These pictures are from our Bermuda cruise.  The guys and their beverages, the straw drinks was as the ship was taking off, and the Guinness mustaches were on one of our land walks.  They were a little snockered, it is hard to see but their eyes are a little glisteny. We are crossing our fingers we make the Alaska cruise in 2012. The guys met on the Alaska cruise on a fishing excursion the first time, years and years ago, they just didn't know who each other were till later, and Tracy and I only knew of each other,  we didn't really know each other till later, at the time we were all like "that's Tracy Altemose", "that's Diana Gibbs" and now we laugh and say "ha! we are just Tracy and Diana", and don't know why we were afraid to go up to each other, so we want Alaska SOOOO bad…plus then the 20 extra pounds won't matter eh?

Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping in!

    Thanks older littler sister!!! That was a nice little tribute!! I miss you lots too.
    I hope to get to AZ sometime soon. I can't believe how fast the time flies by, and you are right, we have missed lots and lots of stuff because we live so far away. Thankfully we have email and our blogs and the phone (God no not the phone!!!) to keep in touch and to keep up on the latest news. I love you more than you know and am very thankful you are willing to listen to all my "stuff". Love you lots

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
