which feet are your "fwip fwops" on?

what is cuter than little feet in flip flops that just happen to be on the wrong feet? The reply I got when I told Bella her flips flops were on the wrong feet. THe conversation went something like this: Mommy: Bella do you know you have your flips flops on the wrong feet? Bella: Huh? Fwip Fwops on wong peet? Mommy: Yeah your flip flops are on the wrong feet. Bella::: looking COMPLETELY ANNOYED:: ugh ughnnn fwip fwops on Bedda's peet!!!!

LOOK JEANNE!!!

I used your photo for the challang in a layout! aren't cha proud? Yeah I figured youw ould be. I think it looks more like she is falling than a tilted photo.. but HEY IT was my first time be gentle hehehehe


the journaling is just mushy stuff talking about how she is now a little lady and growing up so fast and I want her to walk slower through our lives so we can savour each moment.. you know all that kinda mushy stuff she can read later and roll her eyes at.

Ms paper arts closing :(

WELL I don't believe it BUT I KNOW it must happen IM sad but Im happy IM mixed in emotion. Mississippi paper arts.. the physical store is going out of business.... I knew it was going to happen. SHe is pregnant and going through alot right now and she just can't do it all. SHe wants to focus on the web business and make the web site rockin and get the store hoppin'. I support her completely. Plus she needs to be home with her kids and the new baby coming. The dr is putting her on bed rest and it is hard to run a store from a bed behind the register. IF I didnt live in Alabama I would run it for her. Heck I even thought of buying it myself but I know physically I just cannot do it. My health goes through goods and bads and I know the stress and I DONTWANNA. SOOoooooOOooooooo.... IM gonna do her last blast crop for her. I have to be up there anyway with all the family stuff that has been happening (and what else do I have to do these days) Bella and I are leaving in the morning. We have to help carrie with some stuff anyway so why not let the grammas REVEL in their joy of seeing the grandbaby and me stay out of their hair and at my one true love. Mspaperarts. YES her online store is gonna stay open and YES she will still do conventions and YES the online site will still be rockin as usual. JUSt there wont be a physical store anymore. SO YOU MIGHT wanna check out her site she has SOOOO MUCH STUFF marked down IT IS INCREDIBLE! check it out at www.mspaperarts.com just tell em nancy sent ya ;)

"jeanne" Challenge

Well, This is as close as I could get to a crooked picture for you. She wanted her picture made but WOULD NOT BESTILL. SO this is gonna have to work for this week. She is such a mess. BUt always looks so sweet and precious in those pearls and bows. (of course like her mother hahahaha)

Little girl in pretty dresses and wrinkly noses

How could you not just love this face! WE were all set for church she says TAKED MY PITTFUR mommmeeeee! SO of course I coudlnt resist that! THis is just one shot BUT I LOVE how her little nose wrinkles when she is giggling. Nothing sweeter than little girls in pretty dresses with bows in their hair and pearls. I dress her up while she lets me... I know it wont be long she will not be so thrilled haha.

creating the monster.. or at least contributing

have I created a monster or what... I was going to take pictures of her helping me set out our tomatoes when she said her infamous like "bella be wight back" that can never be good. Instead she comes back with HER camera. Its a princess camera doesnt take real pictures but we can pretend right? I laughed my heart out at how stinkin cute she was squatting down like I do to get on her level and take pictures. and her UNMATCHING CLothes were the perfect touch because they were all her favorites.... for that day anyway. SHE LOVES those flip flops. Wants to wear them with everything. I jut cant help at grinning at these photos and cannot wait for the page to come. I forgot we have "last chance" photos for the church directory today (grrrrrrr) lovely after having shingles WOnder If I could just wear a bagover my head and body.... gotta go find something that fits. cant they just draw in circles and stick figures and sayit is us... we know what we look like. sigh...... now the hunt begins..w hat to wear. this ought to be fun.

Thats Nancy WITH A Jones

Thats Nancy WITH A Jones SO what do you do... You have a death in the family... people act crazy.. You know you need to go in your heart you feel you need to pay your respects but... obstacles are in the way. I know he is right, my husband.. and my best interest is in his view. IT will be a huge "jerry springer episode". BUT what do you do. DO you sit here and feel the guilt they are throwing on you or do you stay busy. DO you find stuff to do. DO you try to play with your child to keep your mind off it. I have a dr apt. on monday (I forgot) with the rheumatologist. We have been waiting for this to get in. Every time i get upset.. hubby gets mad.. YOU have test to run monday DO you want to be like it was. IM SO sick of hearing how if I get upset or if something happens Im gonna get sick. YES I KNOW IT is true but how do you not be. Life is changing. Again.... I know if I get sick the things IM looking forward to wont get to happen. BUt this is family. How do you not Be there for family. I wasnt brought up that way. BUt I KNOW I KNOW alot has happend with family. SO much around this doesnt make sense. SO much around this is is weird (why do you send a picture of the car, I mean come on guilt me for not coming? or can I be takign it wrong and it just be their weird sense of dealing ) All I know is dont call me in the middle of the night with this. IM sorry its happening, but everyone cant deal with things the same way. I cannot go alone. I wont. Dont ya think we have dealt with enough! The whole situation is bad. I realise that and Im so sorry for them. I mourn her. Im gonna miss her. BUt I will make my peace with her. I will visit.. next week. I wont be by myself then. I don't deal with death. IT is impossible. My husband understands that he is here for the nightmares since daddy got killed. WHY cant they see that. IM sorry for being selfish on this one. BUT I will come just not today. I can't I cant deal with it. SO I will stay busy. I want to go I feel their pain BUT I just can't not alone. I will be there all the rest of next week but then I wont be alone.

Altered therapy

I made this box.. well I literally didnt MAKE the box it came from Hobby lobby but I altered it and the frame... the box, dont laugh was to put on the back of my toilet to hold well certain PERSONAL items a woman needs sometimes. I thought what a pretty way to hide such a thing. and the frame I had some paper left over and it was there so I said why not! Part of my altered therapy. Nothing gets you through difficult times like imagination and some paint and well a box. NOW I want to repaint the bathroom to match the box.... Reckon my hubby will go for that? Love you honey ::fluttering eyelashes::
