I will add it in another post.&lt;br /&gt;My life has been very busy this week so when I have been on the computer I have been checking my usual sites or playing mindless games on facebook. I know alot of people don't like FB games but I have become addicted to them, I have decided to stop playing most of them. I just can't seem to give up Farmville...maybe it's because of my love for farm life and gardening, LOL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did get to spend a short scrappy visit with my friends &lt;a href="http://positivelylisa.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lisa &lt;/a&gt;and&lt;a href="http://erin-esquared.blogspot.com/"&gt; erin &lt;/a&gt;last weekend. I have missed these girls and love when we get together.&lt;br /&gt;I only got two pages done but that's two pages I didn't have before, right? Most importantly, I got to spend time with dear friends and that means so much!&lt;br /&gt;I'll share my pages with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vAmHAEIZ3OE/TYyiRTAEHJI/AAAAAAAAARE/Kh9-gAWvPJs/s1600/Shamrock%2B%2526%2BRoll.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 194px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vAmHAEIZ3OE/TYyiRTAEHJI/AAAAAAAAARE/Kh9-gAWvPJs/s200/Shamrock%2B%2526%2BRoll.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588019655701961874" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SSivcOwiCL4/TYyiQ2zx56I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/X9j5EID0FCo/s1600/happy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SSivcOwiCL4/TYyiQ2zx56I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/X9j5EID0FCo/s200/happy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588019648134244258" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6275839917574284407-8413340976619372669?l=rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/feeds/8413340976619372669/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/2011/03/playing-catch-up.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6275839917574284407/posts/default/8413340976619372669'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6275839917574284407/posts/default/8413340976619372669'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/2011/03/playing-catch-up.html' title='Playing Catch up!!'/><author><name>Rita</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02149533266479944092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZoRhBXpmYGs/TVh-Dfd3UWI/AAAAAAAAAOk/dX8N1SWAnn8/s220/me.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vAmHAEIZ3OE/TYyiRTAEHJI/AAAAAAAAARE/Kh9-gAWvPJs/s72-c/Shamrock%2B%2526%2BRoll.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275839917574284407.post-6346297494968601131</id><published>2011-03-13T00:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-13T00:01:02.771-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Have Your Way With Paper Over the Rainbow Blog Hop</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bn7Ik2PXt0k/TXwtbDcq7UI/AAAAAAAAAQU/4cWKn0O2OdI/s1600/Forget-me-not_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bn7Ik2PXt0k/TXwtbDcq7UI/AAAAAAAAAQU/4cWKn0O2OdI/s200/Forget-me-not_.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583387580837850434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Mc4jtzk5Jc/TXwtbMcwk1I/AAAAAAAAAQM/OVnjMVWdby4/s1600/blueberries.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 162px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4Mc4jtzk5Jc/TXwtbMcwk1I/AAAAAAAAAQM/OVnjMVWdby4/s200/blueberries.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583387583254139730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-REx1f07iWO4/TXwtagRu_FI/AAAAAAAAAQE/t52d-ez4HQs/s1600/de99a709-9eec-4371-b9cf-66326a71cb75.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-REx1f07iWO4/TXwtagRu_FI/AAAAAAAAAQE/t52d-ez4HQs/s200/de99a709-9eec-4371-b9cf-66326a71cb75.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583387571396738130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-80TZmu_w7jk/TXwtadWH_mI/AAAAAAAAAP8/l7kYFIkyTIc/s1600/mt%2Bzeez.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-80TZmu_w7jk/TXwtadWH_mI/AAAAAAAAAP8/l7kYFIkyTIc/s200/mt%2Bzeez.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583387570609847906" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the Over the Rainbow blog hop! One of the things scrappers love most is COLOR! During this journey you'll encounter all seven colors of the rainbow and some of our favorite things about those colors. In order to play along all you need to do is leave a comment on each blog saying what you love about the color featured on each blog. You can even just tell us your favorite thing (scrappy or not) that is that color! Once you reach the pot of gold, post ROY G. BIV!! and you're done and ready to start cropping with us!&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for visiting my blog! I am featuring the color &lt;strong&gt;Blue&lt;/strong&gt;. A few of my favorite &lt;strong&gt;Blue&lt;/strong&gt; things are blue flowers, especially Forget Me Nots. I have them planted in a couple of different spots in my flower gardens, they make me smile when I see them in full bloom. I also love blueberries and can't wait till they come into season so me, my mom and my little guy and go to the orchard and pick them. I also have a love for beautiful blue skies and am fortunate enough to live about 7 minutes away from this glorious spot named Mt. Zeez. It overlooks Malabar Farm, and much of the surrounding area. Malabar Farm was owned by author Louis Bromfield from 1939 until 1956. We love to go up there and appreciate all that God has given us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next stop on the rainbow is Indigo over at&lt;a href="http://stacydkillion.blogspot.com/"&gt; Stacy's&lt;/a&gt; blog!

I have stumbled along the way and at times would have done a few things differently but that has molded me into the person I am today and for that I am proud of my accomplishments and looking into the eyes of my husband, sons and parents I have seen the love and pride they have for me so that is my biggest accomplishment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6275839917574284407-2489318593062223263?l=rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/feeds/2489318593062223263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-1-post-challenge.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6275839917574284407/posts/default/2489318593062223263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6275839917574284407/posts/default/2489318593062223263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://rita-bitsofme.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-1-post-challenge.html' title='Day 1 post challenge'/><author><name>Rita</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02149533266479944092</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZoRhBXpmYGs/TVh-Dfd3UWI/AAAAAAAAAOk/dX8N1SWAnn8/s220/me.bmp'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pljecEmvUvo/TXw3PNzRXUI/AAAAAAAAAQk/XPuwilW9XvY/s72-c/51.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275839917574284407.post-4996976214063272906</id><published>2011-03-12T07:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-03-12T08:09:58.508-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Resurrecting this blog with a post a day challenge!</title><content type='html'>Hello there!
