Hi all!! Whew!! I made it through my first day, but boy, was it long!! It has been awhile since I have had to get up at 0430 in the morning so that was a rude awakening, lol!! I got to work at 0630, worked straight through until 7pm last night and got home at 745pm - ugggghhh.....long day!! Not that they were not long before, but I am out of the habit!! And, once I have everything under somewhat of control, I will not have to work so late every night, but I think for the first week or two, it is going to be brutal!! And, I was so tired, I could not even stamp last night, heehee!! Glad I worked ahead this weekend so I have things to share like this card I did for Taylor's sketch challenge this week!! I love this little cuppie, so stinkin' cute!! I used some of my new sparkly fluff for the frosting, and I thought it came out pretty cute! I also cut out the flowers from the dp for my embellies, and added some bling!! Great sketch, I will be using this one again!! So, off to work again for me - I am now checking blogs at night, so you will see me later than normal, but I am still checking out everyones fabulous creations - I cannot give that up*wink* I will leave you with the recipe, gotta run!!

rule #1..... DO NOT spoil them with working long hours. They come to expect it later on. and i learned that the hard way. at one job i worked my hours were 9 to 5 and every day i was in by 8:30. one day, i got in about 8:50 and my boss was standing at my desk saying "you're late". to which I said "no i'm not". after that, i made sure i was at my desk as close to 9:00 a.m. as possible. i wasn't getting paid OT anyway.
well, that's old news. this card is stunning. glad you were able to play over the weekend to post. sure would miss you if you didn't.
have a great day and don't work so late. the work will still be there in the a.m.
hugs,
Glad you survived your first day Alex!!! How does it feel to be working again?
Your cuppie is adorable!!! I need to pull out that set again real soon!
Yeah...what Stef said...SO GLAD you got that first day thing over with...and I think they are VERY lucky to have you...you'll have it shaped up in no time...and when I read 0430 - I actually shuddered!!! LOL I thought 0530 was bad!!! I guess you are a morning person sis....I am definitely NOT! But you do what you gotta right? Anyway - I am feeling a lil stomach woozy - cuz I have an interview this afternoon and I would love this job...but whatever will be, will be....still a lil nervous though!! KWIM? course you do!! ok - nuff said...gotta go!!

Your cupcake card is so adorable, and I love the colors & flowers!! I'm glad to hear you made it through your first day ok..and hope you don't have too many more of those long days!!
Adorable card! Now get some rest!
ah shucks you always work extra hard in the beginning LOL then you find your groove and you have time to sneak a blog or two in during the day! Love your cuppie - he looks really sweet and I love cupcakes so I thought I would eat him but then I noticed that his eyes are closed and I would hate to startle him with my big mouth coming at him so I will let it go for now but soon Mr. Cuppie you will be in my belly!!
Such a cute card, Alex! I love the colors and patterned papers!
I'm glad to hear that you survived Alex...what long hours! Once you are settled in and familiar with everything, you will adjust.
Very pretty card!

Your first day does sound brutal. It reminds me why I don't want to go back to work full-time. I hope it gets better soon!
This is beautiful Alex! Love the summery colors. That image is so cute! Wow, that's a long day! Hope you get some shorter days soon!
Oh, look how sweet and cute this is! Precious! Love those fresh colors. You're darn right, those hours sound brutal! I hope it doesn't continue that way. I know you have a lot of energy, but a girl has limits. Congrats, though, on making it through your first day!
