Schoooool daysssssss......

Bella is learning so much in school. She loves her teacher and loves going to school. SHe doesn't like when we make her go over and over what she learned that day. Ussually daddy has to sit down with her (so she won't be monkeying around) and help her (make her) do her letters and sounds she did that day. We got a note home from her teacher saying we needed to work with her on writing her letters. That she was confused on holding her pencil (???) and was holding it with both hands. SO ughmm YEAH MONKEYING!
SHe has known how to write her name for a longggg time now and held a pencil like a pencil since she was 2. I kept quizzing her on why she was holding it with 2 hands.. Was it heavy? Was it too big? Did it hurt? Was it stuck to the paper? of course she grinned at my questions. Finally she loosened up and told me that the little boy that sits behind her holds HIS PENCIL with 2 hands.... AHHHHH so nowww I SEE.. yup... MONKEYING. So after having to redo all her work after she gets home everyday for a bit maybe we will get the idea. PEER PRESSURE and such a young age!!



I made a little thrown together mini album for my mom for her Birthday coming up. NOW I HAVE TO GET IT IN THE MAIL and to her. You can also see it here in Basic Greys Gallery. I used some Basic Grey BLush I had in my stash (tryin to use up some of this) and used these sweet little pictures I had collected of them. I hope she likes how it turned out.

newest pages...

Here are some new pages I did

Hopefully though this will all be gone soon. Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I also want to say Miss ya daddy. Today would have been his 70th birthday.

Guido was assisting them so well by being their fierce protector and keeping them on track of where they needed to dig. Man he is a good babysitter huh? TOo bad he was teaching them to dig SO HE COULD TRY TO ESCAPE the backyard!! I know he is thinking just a few more inches and that pesky cat running loose in the neighbor hood is MINE!!!!!BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA. ANyway be sure and check out the rest of the fun stuff we have uploaded in the Sponsor Gallery at Treasures To Scrap :) ps: if you wanna read the journaling just click on the image and you will see a larger page that has the little story on it.

it lives

Did you think I left you guys? sorry 'bout that. ohhh about 9ish pm Saturday night I had not felt good and slept most of the evening. IT had been a great day. We went to Tara's and played with Braydon. Bella had soooo much fun. WE had come home I got some cleaning done, John went to Wal mart for me with Bella and did the shopping. I laid down for a bit, rolled over and when I did it literally woke me up. Our Neighbor, who is a nurse, came over and looked at me. mushed on my side to see what was swollen etc. Said "go your butt to er" cuz we really thought it was appendix. Got there, man they didn't waste any time I went straight in the back they pushed me through and had an iv in me before John had the car parked good. They put that iv in me and kicked it on hi, within 30 minutes UGHHHH! I thought I was in labor. OWWW! SO yes I gave birth to we think 3 little rocks to add to my collection. Gonna have a rock group here before long. SO THAT is where I have been. Its all good now, feeling much better. Just have to re-adjust my diet ONCE again and take it easy. DRINK MORE water, yeah yeah, I KNOW but man, I hate to drink just plain water and can't have artificial sweetner so it is like major mayhem.

We have alot going on at TREASURES TO SCRAP you MUST come see. WE are growing like a weed over here with fertilizer on it. The site is jumping in the numbers. Karen Foster is our sponsor this month. HEre are 2 really quick pages I got done in between all the other stuff going on.The first one is my nephew Zach when he was in Kindergarten. seems so long ago now. Im sure he will LOVE ME for putting this up on my blog. HE is now a teen ager and I know how much this would cramp his style. Sorry Zach. Least they weren't baby photos of you in diapers!!
This one is the plaque hung in my daddys honor, at the policeman's hall of fame in Miami, Florida. Yall pray for our family this month by the way. The 28th of this month, is the anniversary of his death in line of duty. We know years have passed but to us this was still my daddy, my brothers daddy, My mom's husband, a person that was loved by our family. We miss him so very much and not a day goes by we don't hurt from this horrible event. To us it could have been yesterday... so anyway Thank you for remembering us especially my mom that day.

I am still working on mini books. Im so behind I have alot to catch up on. The baby book Is almost done for Bella's teacher. Her son and his wife just had TWINS a boy and a girl. I really hope she enjoys this little book as much as I enjoyed making it for her. She is just a joy to these children in Bella's class. She comes home every day talking about her and how much she just loves her teacher. THis makes me SOOOO happy! I cannot wait to see this with photos of them inside. I will have a sample for that going up soon.

Bella is LOVING SCHOOL! She even has a boy friend!! (John cringes at the thought) BUT they are so cute. The little boy we had the play date with Saturday, Braydon. His mom works with John. They live just down a few houses from us. They are such nice folks. Braydon is the cutest thing ever. I will have to post some pics of them soon.

I sent in my final page for Scrapbook Lifestyles Stylin Idol. THIS IS THE FINAL SHABANG. AHHHHH! Im so nervous. I worked very hard on my page. WAIT till you hear what our challenge was! OMGOSH it was definitly a challenge. BUT I had soo much fun with it. Thank GOD I had it almost done before the kidney stone incident. So be sure and check that out once she has that all posted. There are some AMAAZIIINGGGG scrappers in this competition. CANNOT BELIEVEEE my name is up there with them. So I feel a little out of place. IM more like the country bumpkin that brought he great big squash to the county fair amongst all of these ladies. I have to tell you though, Im just happy to still be in the finals lol. Great friends great people, scrapping our babies.. what more could you ask for!!
Hope you all have a great day I have Bella's uniforms washing. Then I will Iron. YES I KNOW but I cannot let her go to school in this little uniform and it be all wrinkly. I may not get alot of things done but SHE WILL be pressed. I was in bed for a couple of days and I asked John did you iron her uniform (why did I ask? I KNEW better) He said OH they dont care about that. OMGOSH I CARE about that. YEAH I KNOW its a mommy thing. But right now she only has 2 of the little jumpers since the rest haven't come in yet that are back ordered.. (reminds me to call today see if they are in yet) so we have to wear one wash one... FUN! IT is too hot to wear the little pants and stuff so we go with the jumper. BElla likes the dress better anyway. She is such a little girl hehe.
OK I am really out of here Time to get her movin and ready for school! XOXOXOOXOX

The photos from yesterday...

Here are the photos from yesterday that BLOGGER wouldn't let me load grrrr.
A busy Saturday here. We went to our friend Tara's house this morning to play. Her little boy is in Bella's class. He is sooo dadgum cute. They had a big time. It is just SOOOO hot outside. JOhn and Bella went shopping for me at Wal mart and got what we call "big groceries" YOu know how you stock up on stuff. Well they did that. I cleaned up some around here and did laundry but wasn't feeling great so Layed down for a while. That did make me feel LOTS better so IM back at it getting laundry done and cleaning. SO not gonna break my progress and get back to it. Just wanted to show these photos from yesterdays blog post that blogger was being such a pain and not letting me show!! Ta ta for now!!


Bella at her little desk (is this not the cutest ever!)
This is Bella's Teacher. Bella loves her so much. I can see why. She is just so sweet and loves those kids so much. She truly is one of those people you just see the Joy they have for life. I just love people like that.

MORE PHOTOS

HOW CUTE IS THIS LITTLE DESK? (and what't in it) I know yall are probly sick of seeing all my school photos Im taking. BUT I have to say THIS IS SO FUN. She is having a blast and LOVES Her teacher so much. I can so understand why. She really does love those kids and has so much fun with them. YOu can just see her joy. I just love people like that. You know the ones... You can't help but smile when your around them. She is so like that and you can tell those children just love her. I feel so good about this school and what she is doing there. Although I think I screwed up in car line today.. Im a total goof and still don't know what Im doing HA! But will get in the routine soon I hope.

IM slaving away working on my page for the finals at scrapbook lifestyle's Stylin' Idol contest. Im already so nervous ::insert nail biting smiley here:: BUT I HAVE to say THIS IS SOOOO MUCH STINKIN FUN!!!! I have had So much fun doing these challenges. I cannot BELIEVE Im still in this contest. SO many amazing scrappers in this and then there is ME ha! I say grace of God and a little luck IM still in there. I may not win this thing but I can sure tell you I HAVE HAD A TOTAL BLAST. Met some COOL people with MASSIVE skillz. Had some AMAZING well thought challenges that made me get down and dirty (especially the paint one I think I was giggling most of the time I was painting I had it everywhere) THis time IS NOOO different. IM putting alot of hours in this page. again I may not win but man I think It is one of my most favorite. I always hated contests and never did them.. but I have done 2 in the last year and I have gotten some AMAZING pages from both contests I have to admit I AM SO GLAD I DID.

Anyway.. it is time for Supper around here and I dont smell anything cooking so I reckon John must be tired. HE does alot of our cooking since he just enjoys cooking so much. ::ducks because I KNOW he is gonna throw something at me when he reads this::
He has been on vacation and has painted the house in between rain storms. Weeded the landscaping and done all kinda yard work. I tell you JUST watch NEXT week it will be sunny and beautiful EVERY DAY. IT has been SO HOT and then those afternoon lightning and thunderstorms have been horrid. IT has rain rain rained but IT is SOOO stinkin hot and well we needed the rain. OK really going to go fix some supper now before my family comes in here and wheels my chair out.
BYEEE have a great weekend!

ps: I dont know WHY my photos are not showing up I will try again to put them up in a bit. YOU HAVE to see this little desk with her sitting in it OMGOSH gonna be the CUTEST layout EVERRRRR. I am sure her teacher thinks Im nuttier than I am since I keep walking around there with a camera. Bella is so used to it she just stands there and smiles like GET IT OVER WITH MOM! hehe OK IM GOING IM GOING!

first day of school photos

ITS hereeee....

WEll, TODAYS THE DAY. Bellas FIRST DAY OF PRE K. I know I KNOW it doesn't seem like a big deal to alot of people but SHE Is taking this SOOOO seriously. SHe is in big school now. Goes all day EVEN HAS HOME WORK. IN the first 6 weeks even.. They are starting phonics. MY BABY IS GONNA BE ABLE TO READ! SHE is so pumped about that. She does know a couple site words already but I don't really know the phonics way of teaching so I guess IM losing out on it. SO we will learn this together as she learns i suppose. BUT she is all ready. Her back pack all packed. Uniform all pressed and set out. She packed enough snack to feed I think herself for the next two weeks. I told her she WOULD be coming back home! She didnt need ALL that. SHe is so excited about getting to wear her back pack. I DONT THINK that she REALLY needs it actually looking at the class room and stuff. But she is SOOO convinced she has to have it.
SHe loves her teacher she talked about her all night last night on the way home and has talked about her today. Saying how pretty she is and she is smart too! (I told her I bet she is smart because you have to be VERY smart to be a teacher) SHe said THAT Is because she is VERY SMART.. THAT is why they made her a teacher mommy! Like I was a big ol dummy for thinking. She didn't even fuss about going to bed tonight she was so excited she gets to go to school.
I hope her teacher doesn't think IM a total loon tomorrow when paparazzi mom pops out the camera and takes 10 thousand pictures while crying my eyes out that my baby is actually BIG ENOUGH to go to school.
I know you think pre K whats to it but IM telling you they have these little tiny desks that are just so unbelievably cute (I WANT ONE TO ALTER) and the bulletin boards, they have a curricullum. It is AMAZINGGG what they learn so early now. Bella has been out of that environment for the last year with all my health crapp. IM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED FOR HER to get to go back now. she is going to have so much fun and have so much to do and see. SUCH a wonderful adventure to start. Im so proud of her and so sad at the same time. She is my only one so I have to relish each second of this. so yeah there will probly be 40 scrapbook pages of her first day of school.... but that is ok. She can not say ever that her life is not well documented if anything else. I HAVE the proof. ha! I am looking forward to being able to get the things done I need to get done. I have to get this routine down. IM so frantic worried Im going to be that ONE PARENT that gets the entire class a note sent home ha! I dont want to foul this up. I know I stress over the rules and stuff too much but, I know how hard it has to be dealing with that many children their parents and God forbid any of them have STEP anything... Just want it to be easy on them as well. so anyway.. I will be back later with a ton of photos to bore you with but when yall see these tiny desks and how cute she is in this uniform. I totally melted. You will see why Im crying happy tears. xoxoxox


OH!! I amost forgot! LOOK for my mini album I did on my dad I know yall have seen it. The one out of the cardboard that has all the antique photos of my dad in it (my brother has one i made him for Christmas identical to it) IT is being published in Somerset Studio Magazine (formerly known as Legacy) so how exciting is that! I also hear I have an entire page in the next Hobby Lobby Magazine. Im so interested to see it and how she has it arranged. They are so cool with that magazine and so savvy with how they put it together. All of that just amazes and interests me. OK I REALLY have to go to bed. gotta get my camera all charged up!! so exciting!!

ICE CREAM MAN!!!

Do you ever get so caught up in deadlines and daily grind that you don't get those pages you just wanna have fun and scrap done? I have been so LAST NIGHT I sat down and just scrapped. Not with anything that I HAD to scrap just some photos I WANTED to scrap. I loved these photos of Bella racing to see the ICE cream man. I know it is a moment I wont forget. WE never had ice cream trucks that came around growing up. I guess mainly because we lived 2 miles south on the left of no where. We were so impressed when we moved here that we could order pizza (NO we didn't make him pose for a photo actually hmmm that is a thought hehe) but I was surprised they had ice cream trucks. I guess living in the sticks all my life I had never seen such. Well anyway Here is to you and I HOPE you sit down and just scrap for the fun of it.
I go to the dentist tomorrow step one of the dental reconstruction so.. I guess I will be happy to see that ice cream truck more often haha at least till its over.

John did get to work on painting the house some but he had hoped it would be finished by now so we could go play. We had some fun activities planned but again.. weather messed us up. OF COURSE now the weather is beautiful. figures. during the week when we wanted to get it all done.. NOOoo stormed like crazy. ::sigh:: oh well.
I have gotten alot of scrappin' done. I need to re photo a couple of them. The colors are way off and I don't know why my scanner is doing that.

The little bucket is a quarter bank I made for Bella to keep her quarters she gets in. I had to girly it all up with the ribbon and the cute Karen Foster papers.

I have another line of paper too but I need to rephoto the layout for it.


Here is the layout I did for the SCRAPBOOK LIFESTYLE SCRAPPIN IDOL contest. It was all about paint this week. I also wanted to thank all of you who voted for me. MAN It is some fierce competition!! Some friends of mine dared me to scrap this dadgum owl (yall know I cannot stand that owl they keep putting on stuff in the scrap supplies yeah yeah some of them are cute but I just dont have an every day need for owls in my scrapping SORRY!)
SO I left him UNSCATHED where you can see him even though IT WAS SOOOO TEMPTING TO cover it up with the paint and flowers. hehehe
I DID let my saracastic side (YEAH I KNOW YOUR SHOCKED TO KNOW I HAVE A SARCASTIC SIDE) have fun with this page and use the phrase from the old TOOTSIE POP commercial as my title. hahahaa. Sorry I JUST HAD TO.

so anyway there are some of my things I made this week there are a few more but IM sure your eyes are tired so I will post that on another day!!

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!

MY BABY CANNOT BE BIG ENOUGH TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!! But... she is.
She had so much fun shopping for her backpack, her lunch box and napmat for pre-K.

She thinks she is so big now. (notice the backpack is bigger than she is)I had tears in my eyes taking these photos.Hard to believe this tiny baby is big enough for school.
ONe day we are counting down the days till she goes the next Im crying thinking my baby is growing up. IT goes WAY to fast. SLOW DOWN BABY your not little but once and I wanna savour it as long as I can.

New projects

THis is the FAMILY album from 2 Daisies Designs. They are a new paper company that premiered at CHA this time. VERY cute stuff go look at them if you get a chance. I LOVE this little mini book. I decorated it with chipboard, ribbons and lots of bling dots in different colors. Really jazzed it up.
I couldnt show all these before then we got sick with the stomach flu so Im just now getting them up here. Thanks for looking.


THis is another line of the paper 2 daisies sent for me to use. The skeletons I thought would make really fun mardi gras papers since Im down here in the heart of Mardi Gras country. I think it turned out really cute. IT IS MUCH brighter and livlier in person and the colors are so much more vibrant the photo doesn't do it justice.



This is a new paper line that premiered at CHA this past weekend called 2 daisies designs. I LOVE this line of paper it was perfect for these photos of my nephew when he was little. (HI ZACH DONT KILL ME MAN) The stars I made 3 d by folding them and placing popdots behind them.



I can finally show you this page I did for the SCRAPBOOK LIFESTYLE TELEVISION'S scrappin Idol contest. I made it through to the next round whehew. THankyou all who voted for me I so appreciate it. I had so much fun on this page. One of my most favorite colors is GREEN so this was really a blast for me. We ahd to use Green Cardstock and embelishments but the patterned paper could be other colors. I know that scalloped paper looks yellow but it is a real limey yellow green color and has green flourishes in the back ground.

spoke just a little too soon

OK I spoke too soon. .... I ended up with some kinda bad stomach flu hat has had me in the bed for a week. For something they say won't kill ya man I sure felt pretty close a few times there. SO easy to get dehydrated. I THINK we are almost over it now. Playing major catch up worse than I was to start with. BUT at least no one is puking.
Just a quick update. Bella got the rest of her uniforms today. John took her and finished that for me (thank you John) she is gonna look too cute but I can tell she is gonna hate this thing before its over. very boring. anyway just a quick update and we are continuing to pray for our friend Billy Hall that was in the boating accident that has a severe head trauma. He is in the neuro science hospital at university medical in Jackson Mississippi so please say an extra prayer for him and his family.

NO, I feel fine

QUIT WORRYING MA!

IM busy lol Im scrapping like a person with one day left ..... to put all their memories on paper. OH wait THAT WOULD be the case. I have projects coming out the wazoo. One is a last minute thing I was asked to do and I wasn't thinking and said yes. SO when John gets home from work, I have been Under 3 feet of scrap paper which we call my scrap room and just working. Battling headache from allergies and am just TIRED! SO I nap then get up and scrap some more. ITS FUN THOUGH IM NOT COMPLAINING. I love doing this so it gets these pages done. Even Better that they serve more than one purpose. SO I WILL SHOW YOU WHEN I CAN. I dont have them all done but soem will have to be done by tomorrow, so IF I DONT ANSWER THE PHONE.. IF IM SHORT WITH YOU ON THE PHONE. ITS cuz IM BUsy. I got my Normal due stuff this weekend too and Getting Bella ready for school. LOVE YA!

Please remember Royce and his family today as he goes through this surgery and also as he endures his recovery.
THe photos are unbelievable. So amazing he is alive.

OMGOSH YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS!!

SANTA DEFINITLY CAME TO MY HOUSE TODAY!!! THe mail man came and I got this package and I was pretty clueless wtheck is this. John said DON'T OPEN IT TILL I GET HOME cuz I have to get something. Im thinking GET something???? oook. IT has TTS address on it so Im like hmmmm I didnt order anything. BUt I know something sneaky has been going on cuz John had been Talking to Tracy. ANd Robin has been dancing around I know something you dont know. SO Im like OK the gig is up. SO JOhn was on his way home makes me WAIT!!! meanie. HE gets home and says OK YOU can open it. I told him I THOUGHT you had to get something he said I DO... HE goes and gets MY CAMERA. IM like UGHHHHHH NOOOOOOOO I LOOK HORRIBLE what are you doing HELLOOO unwashed hair no shower yet eww go awayyy HE said I HAVE TO.... well ughmm Ok..
SO I open the box heart pounding cuz the box has fragile all over it Im thinking it is too small to be Bella and I didnt hear any little girl giggling. so still mystery to me..... I open it and there is a PRECIOUS CARD that smells all good and some towels. Im like TOWELS? OK SO I reluctantly READ the card first cuz Yall know me and figure Id get to the good stuff but I read it and she says I had this just laying around here and figured you and bella would enjoy it more. SO IM thinking WHAT... AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHT BULB COMES ON. TRACY GOT SOMETHING NEW RECENTLY. THE NEW 12 x12 CRICUIT. SOOOOO GUESS WHAT I GOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Towels.

NO IM KIDDING IM KIDDING HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
NO she gave ME HER CRICUIT SHE HAD BEFORE!!!! OMG CAN YOU BELIEVEEE THAT!! I AM BLOWN AWAYYYYYYY! IM so happy and SO PROUD and I was crying and laughing and then I wanted to beat her cuz that is just tooo much. SHe is so funny THe photos was she wanted to see me open it. I wont show you all cuz UGHHHH yall woudl be scared. BUT IM SOOO EXCITED! THANK YOU SO MUCH TRACY you are just one of my truest bestest buds and I just love you to pieces MEAN IT. BUT I know you know all that!
I brag on her constantly and on her site she is rockin cool and so sweet.

Also ANOTHER HAPPY. MY BABY IS COMING HOME TONIGHT!! SHe was cryin this morning she wanted her mommy and daddy. so... they are comin tongiht. which is fine by me cuz I just figured we woudlnt see her for another month cuz THEY WOULDNT EVEN MENTION coming home!! SO LOTS of good news today.. so ughmm I gotta go ... I got stuff to play with stuff to clean fore they get here BYEE!!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!! I hope your Holiday is Great and you remember the reason for it as well :)
WE are just hanging out doing the same thing. I am getting LOTS of rest and getting caught up scrapping. SOMe cleaning done that needed to be done. I hope to get Bella's closet organized and her room cleaned good as well ass the carpets cleaned today. Don't really see all that happning but it was fun to think about



IM beginning to wonder if My child is coming home... .Our family back home is at the family reunion today. I hope the weather holds out for them. I wasn't able to go yet. Riding 3 hours one way with shingles... NOT FUN! Also John had to work yesterday and Tomorrow. WE had bad storms yesterday that took the roof off the Wal mart here near us. Well a section of roof. They called it some kind of micro burst or soemthing... They picked every Redneck in Mobile I think to put on The Weather Channel and on Cnn. BUT WE ARE ALL OK so don't worry lol. My phone rang off the hook yesterday with family worrying and friends back home. IT was like 6 or so miles from here not the one we ussually go to that is right by us. I DO Pray everyone was ok. They said there were not but a few serious injuries. I pray they are all ok...

I DO THINK Bella is having fun. DOnt you think so? Does she look the LEAST bit homesick in ANY OF THESE PHOTOS???? I didn't see it. hahahaha I have tried not to call her alot so she doesn't give them a hard time but when we do she is preoccupied and busy having fun so IM GLAD she isn't sad. PRETTY EVIDENT in those pictures HOW SAD she is huh? I think John and I Miss her LOTS MORE than she does us. John comes by me every now and then and says mamamamamama mammamamamamaa mommy, mom HEY MAAAAAMAAA!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH LET ME IN! Mama get me so and so Mama I want to play with EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! This way I don't miss the NOISE huh?
JUST so I don't get quite as missin her sick hahaha! I know she is having a GREAT time at AUnt Liz's playing with the big boys. SHe loves the trampoline and swimming in the pool so we are letting her have fun as long as possible. IM HOPING by next week I can get out some and drive again. This weekend IM gonna TRY and venture out. BUT IF YOU HAVE ever driven IN Mobile... YOu will understand the importanct of making sure you can see well. I think we have the worse drivers here. BUt we are also a HUGE tourist town during the summer with being close to the beach and on the main road to the on the way to florida. SO I want to make sure I CAN SEE and am NOT DIZZY. HA!
We hopefully can be part of the world again. IM getting better and stronger every day so I HOPE soon I will finally shake this shingle crapp. Our VBS starts not this coming week but the next week. SO I Know she is looking forward to that.

Be sure and stop by Treasures and CHECK out the NEWSLETTER. WE have a great sponsor this month and ALOT OF fun coming up. SO be sure and say hello and JOIN IN THE JULY CONTEST! HOpe you have a Happy 4th of July and be sure to Thank our military guys and gals and THANK THEM for what they do TO KEEP US SAFE!

WHHEW a toot and blog challenge

TOdays BLog challenge by Dawn is to List an accomplishment we are proud of.

WEll. I have a new one that is out. I just got named the Design Team Co ordinator for Treasures To Scrap. IM so excited! Tracy and Wendi are so busy working for the site and for us getting sponsors and cool products they don't get a chance to breathe sometimes. SO I am going to take some of the stress off of them and be the OFFiCIAL question answerer. Kinda a go between. HElp out where needed and help the design team have what they need to get their projects done. I am also going to be working hard to bring in sponsors and fun things for us to do.

I think this is a big accomplishment with all I have had going on in my life here lately. I have been very dedicated to the site and to Tracy and Wendi. SO it is a big honor for me. I am so excited. WE want this site to be a place you can kick back have fun and scrap and get mega inspiration. They have some of the most generous sponsors and are a blast to work with. Tracy and Wendi are all about their DT and their customers which is so impessive to me. I am forever grateful to Di for telling me about this place. It has been hard being stuck in the house and sick all the time. So this is my place to get in touch with the outside world and forget about it for a while. A great way to focus on scrappin and creating these albums for my daughter.

IM finally getting better I can see progress and IM SO happy. I dont have a spot in front of my eye today and my head isnt swimming THANK YOU LORD!!
Thank you for all of your prayers and warm thoughts!
DONT FORGET we have a new contest starting at Treasures for UNDISCOVERED TALENT.

WHEHEW we made it past to the next round of SCRAPBOOKING IDOL at SCRAPBOOK LIFESTYLE. Some friends and I (HEY BECKY, HEY LESLIE) entered this contest and it is getting harder and harder. I want to thank you all for voting for me I SOOO APPRECIATE IT! Got a few weeks left and IM SOOOO excited! Here is the page I did for the last round for any of you that didn't see.That is my nephew Adam and His girlfriend (in the center photo) and then some other buds of his from senior year. The photos are PERFECT for this line of paper and I will finish his album using the rest of it I got. Aren't they the cutest ever?
That is the Love Elsie line called ROXIE I used on this page. I had a great time coloring it in with my Sakura pens. Really made it stand out.

THe next round is gonna be a little harder. We have to use ribbon and we cant let it just lay across the page and we cant tie it in a bow. Soooo, we have to come up with some creative ways to put it on the layout. THIS is gonna be fun.

We had alot of fun this weekend at TREASURES TO SCRAP's birthday celebration crop. .
We had a few make and takes and they were SOOOOO much fun. I did the Deck of Me That I got from Annette's blog. She is just the cutest ever GO SEE HER BLOG and tell her HI! She does the cutest work.
She had been doing this aleady and had kept telling me about it. SO I FINALLY jumped on the band wagon. Each week we will update with a new page for it. SOOO MUCH FUN. IF YOU would like to participate. I will tell you how this week. We are starting a thread with it at Treasures and going to do it as a group. SO much fun!! Here is what we have done so far so If you want to join in GO ahead. BE SURE to post at treasures in the Gallery sow e can see what you have done.


Tracy did the CUTEST make and take on sunday called the WONDER BREAD BOOK. SHe had us all confused wondering what the heck she was getting us into when she told us we needed a slice of bread for the class. You can imagine the questions that arose from that. BUT this is the CUTEST little book and it was SOOOO much fun to make. IM not finished really with mine. I have a few more quotes I want to put in there and some photos. I also wanted to add some more embellishments. I was sooo tired though so I just stopped at that point. I will go back and add more later. If you would like to make one she has the instruction up at Treasures. Was such a fun class. If you decide to make it let us see what you come up with. I changed mine up some and did it as a quote book instead of the birthday calendar. some others made theirs different things as well. VERY CUTE. Take a look through the gallery you can see the different things we made. My best bud Robin, did a class on making beads out of paper. IT WAS SOOO CUTE. I haven't made mine yet I think I will wait till my girly girl BElla gets back home to do that. SHE WILL LOVE THIS.

I am missing my little bug so much. I am enjoying the quiet though maybe I can get well finally from these stupid shingles and get where I CAN SEE! (and hear) and be part of the world again. I know she is having so much fun with the family back home. I have talked to them every day hearing of her adventures. SHe is so funny. Can't wait to get some snuggles and smooches. I know they are all eating her up since they dont get to see her that often. THey have to get their Bella fix.
Well that is all for me tonight. IM going to head out and get this rest I am supposed to be doing and put these freaky drops in my eyes so maybe I CAN SEE in the daylight again. see ya tomorrow :)
