AND I got more of my chipboard put away and sorted. Also some embellies put away in the little drawers. WHEHEW WE are making progress people!!
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING DONE TODAY, Get your organizing and cleaning your scrap room done? TELL ME!
I GOT TAGGED!
Adriann tagged me so here goes (HEHE)
7 little known facts about me.. hmmm whats not to know. SINCE Everyone loves to talk about me (eyeroll) so I will tell ya a few more things to talk about hahahahaa!
1) I hate doing scrap contests. I rarely enter those things. They seem like popularity contests to me and people get sooooo competitive and jealous. People end up with hurt feelings so I hate doing them. It just looks like a recipe for disaster in my opinion. BUT.. having said that, rofl My friend Di talked me into entering one rofl and IM in the finals AHHHHH! not sure how that happened but NOW IM a nervous wreck. ANOTHER reason I dont enter them. Im a worry wort.
2) I was in a car wreck at 6 months old (no I wasn't driving ha so dont even ask)2 drunk drivers drag racing ran us off the road. I have a scar on my nose in the shape of a fish hook. This very sweet lady that walked most every where she went named maycilla found me, I went through the windshield of the car. my face all bloody. My brother was in the back seat and was telling them who we were and who our parents and grandparents were because my mother was unconcious. She was blind after the wreck for some time. Maycilla took care of me till they got us to the hospital. Every time after that when we would see Mrs Maycilla out walking to the store or whatever we always took her where she needed to go. I feel like she was our angel sent to us that day to help us.
3) I am very claustrophobic. Not severely like an elevator doesnt bother me bad, but if it gets stuck I would probably die just from the panic. I hate to shut the door in the bathroom we had back home it was the tiny closet inside the bigger bathroom. It was so small. Freaks me out.
4) This is the first time I lived anywhere outside of Mississippi in my life. I didnt want to move I hated it cried and cried and cried. I stayed in mississippi for a year to make sure John liked the job here and make sure he was gonna stay before I moved here.(besides that I was sick and going through treatments and it was a long drive from Alabama back to Jackson every week for that) But, I stayed for over a year with a new baby. That is how bad I didnt want to go. ALmost risked my marriage because I didnt want to move so bad. ALl of our family was back there to help me with the baby while he was working all the time his family as well. I knew there was no one in Alabama and being sick and a new mother it would be horrible. I was being so selfish thinking that. BUT I FINALLY saw this was a good opportunity (quit listening to what everyone else was telling me to do) for him and moved. I do love mobile. IT is beautiful here and I LOVE my neighbors. I love our church and our home we have here. I can't imagine us being anywhere else now. I have gotten so spoiled living in town. I had never been able to order a pizza and have it delivered before!! We literally are 4 miles from every place we need for shopping and stuff. I really like our church even though physically I was not been able to gofor a long time, the people there embrace us and visit us and really care. I had never been to a church that had a band! (orchestra) I was so impressed haha!
5) I graduated with only 21 people in my class back home! VERY small school we had a football team basketball and track but no band or anything. Maybe 300 in our total school
6) I went to the same school the entire time I was in school. All 12 years.
7) WE are severe Home bodies. We kinda have to be though with me and my crapp I have. We dont go anywhere. We dont travel. we dont go on vacation. well I say we dont we go back home to mississippi to visit family at the holidays sometimes... WE never have been big travelers. Since I can't be in the sun and I get tired very easy and end up getting sick every time we have ever tried to go do anything like that so it wasnt worth it. WE just spend our vactaions relaxing or doing other things. we go for mini trips for weekends and stuff but a BIG TRIP is not an often thing. WE had been planning DISNEY for last year then I got bad sick again. Now we planned for this year and we dont think it will happen then either. SO maybe when bella gets a little older. I know being in the sun so much and all that walking it will not be good. SO when she gets a little bigger and we can think of an easier way we are gonna go. Right now I think she would be terrified of the characters anyway. SHe freaked out over the poky little puppy at the library so I could just see us going there.... maybe next year..
Ok so there are my 7 things. SOOOO I Have to tag 7 people by the rules. SO IF YOUR READING THIS.... GO to it . tell me your 7 things!

TREASURES and then SOME!
TREASURES TO SCRAP Is still having their contest this month so don't forget to go cheer on your favorite team (GOOOOOO TNT ....me and TERI LYNN hehe)
Also Treasures To Scrap's Kit club is who sponsored the Design team this month. Here is the other pages I made with the kits I received.
I think you had already seen a couple of these.. but here they all are.
I had a great time with these kits. I also made a card box.. you can see it over in the archived blog entrys, with the left over scraps.
I have had a great time with the contest and gotten alot of pages scrapped.
I love this photo of BElla. I can add the warmness to it or cool it off to black and white and it is gorgeous with most any papers. I scrap most of my photos in Triplicate so my mom and mother in law get a page for their album as well. SO If you see alot of the pages that have the same photo on them... You know why haha.
One of our challenges was to scraplift our team partner. My Team mate is Teri Lynn. She is the DIgi side of our team. SHE ROCKS I must tell you. I had so much fun lifting her gallery. Here are a couple of the ones I did.
Great fun I must tell you! Be sure to go see Teri Lynn's Gallery and leave her some lovin! GO CHECK OUT HER BLOG AS WELL tell her I said HI!!
HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A WONDERFUL MID WEEK DAY!
OH I ALMOST FORGOT! MY 7 THINGS! I was tagged a while back by 2 lovely other bloggers haha SO here they are my 7 things I despise:
1. Negativity
2. Children that are disrespectful
3. DENTISTS
4. People who act all Snitty trying to stir up trouble
5. Dirty feet
6. Dirty floors
7. for someone to rake off the mayonaise back into the jar and get bread crumbs all in it (or any other thing you spread on with a knife EWWWWW)
SO SEEE I TOLD YOU I WOULD EVENTUALLY DO IT.. wheewwww.

I have to agree!
DO I EVEN NEEEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE? COuld this shirt be ANY MORE PERFECT EXCEPT if it were to say OUTLOUD under the ROCKS and then ON the back said AND ON FIYAAAHHH!!! THEN THAT MY FRIENDS WOULD BE A TRUE T SHIRT TO HANG IN THE COOL SHIRT HALL OF FAME.
BUT DONT SHE LOOK JUST FABULOUS WEARING IT? and FOUR.. DID I MENTION MY BABY IS 4 ...F O U R!!! ::sigh::: SO far.. Four has not been any better than three. It has actually been a little LOUDER THAN THREE. But that was all. WE have another big day today. Playgroup, and REST I PRAY.. This weekend has me still worn out.. then BElla drug me and Diane through Toys R us aka "hell" in search of SOMETHING COOOL for her to spend her new gift card and DOLLARS on. This kid doesnt ask for a dollar NOOooo SHE ASKS for "twenty dollars" not from just relatives FROM ANY RANDOM PERSON walking past.. ITS MY BIRTHDAY GIVE ME 20.00... TOO bad that hasnt worked yet.
ITS a good strategy and has only worked on the grandparents a few other relatives so far. THe cuteness has LONG worn off for her father and I. I had to say though.. My senseble child DID let us purchase cute clothes today.. she is getting VERY particular on what she likes (SHE HAS GREAT TASTE AHEMM LOOK UP AT THAT SHIRT SHE IS WEARING!) we held up a many an outfit that she said nada wasnt happnin' IM happy that I passed the inspection. OF COURSE ANYTHING that resembles a tutu or a cinderella dress IS IN THE TOP 10 for clothing worn by Bella.
Yeah I KNOW I STILL havent done my 7 things yall challenged me with... It will happen I have to think though... so maybe tomorrow when I have slept. haha
IT will happen..eventually!
AND YES KIM I want you to know at toys r us BElla ran for the barbie jeeps saying I WANT TO BUY THIS WITH MY 20.00! I had to say she has great taste... she went for the expensive one. I dunno if MObile is ready for her to be ... MO- BILE yet! I have hard enough time catching her on 2 legs not sure about 4 wheels..

Shingles.
Yall know I was sick with it all through Easter, Felt like crapp didn't care the world was revolving, actually I really didn't, since they put me on some major meds. BUT then as Lupus would have it. It turned into Pneumonia.

DID I MENTION BElla IS TURNING 4 IN ANOTHER WEEK (say it aint sooooo please my baby cannot be grouwing up this fast!!!)

I remain hopeful OR is that the breathing treatments ... whichever its all good.

Happy Easter
Praying you and yours have a very happy Easter. AND REMEMBER the reason for this holiday!
THe Easter BUnny was really good to bella. SHe got alot of pretty things and fun videos in her basket. HER facorite thing was a big white chocolate bunny and the eggs that have the candy in them that have like dora or sponge bob on them. THE easter bunny even PUT Coins in some of the other eggs for her to put in her piggy bank. She got hair dodads and her favorite candies.
I will show photos when I feel better.
John cooked a big nice lunch for us. WE had gotten a ham and all the fixings and I felt so bad cuz I didnt get to do any of it.:(
I spent most of it in bed. I think the shingles either are on that nerve in my ear that connects to your throat or there are some actually in my throat I feel like lcers in there but dunno. anyway running fever and jsut feel like crapp. I didnt go to our annual Easter egg hunt across the street because Amy (eva's mom) has never had chicken pox/shingels) So I coudlnt be around her but also they all have colds and I can catch that easy right now. SO i just stayed home and slept. THe good news from this is the weight is falling off. BUT I KNOW as soon as they pop me with the steroid it will come back.
SO I hope You all had a WONDERFUL EASTER HOLIDAY. and many blessed days to come.
THe Easter BUnny was really good to bella. SHe got alot of pretty things and fun videos in her basket. HER facorite thing was a big white chocolate bunny and the eggs that have the candy in them that have like dora or sponge bob on them. THE easter bunny even PUT Coins in some of the other eggs for her to put in her piggy bank. She got hair dodads and her favorite candies.
I will show photos when I feel better.
John cooked a big nice lunch for us. WE had gotten a ham and all the fixings and I felt so bad cuz I didnt get to do any of it.:(

Blah blah blah
SOrry not posting alot today. I have flippin' shingles again. on my right ear (as usual) and at the corner of my right eye... goin to the eye dr at 2 hoping they will give me those drops that numb it. Happy EASTER HUH! This too shall pass. It actually doesn't hurt that bad this time but I still had some of my pain med from last time and the anti viral stuff. FUnny story.. We went to the pharmacy to fill the antiviral last night and the pharmacy was passing out... STAPLERS...??? yeah that is what I said. Staplers. You know cuz when you think of going to the pharmacy you IMMEDIATLY THINK OMGOSH WHERE IS MY STAPLER! anyway some of the medicine reps had made a ton of them so they were passing them out to customers. SO Now i have a prettty BLue stapler that has ACIPHEX on the top of it... too bad it wasnt orange or pink to match my scrap room hahaa. Im so kidding. I guess for the 200 a month we spend I should be thankful for my stapler so I will not make much fun of it. Just thought iw as funny.
OK so here is a thingy I made a while back thank GOD. FOr my THIS month projects at TREASURES TO SCRAP where IM on the Design Team. I made this from a granola bar box. THe papers and supplies came from the kit.
IT wasnt hard at all. I PROMISE. You just glue the top back together after you take all the granola bars out. THEN take your exacto knife and cut the top of the box like an inch or so down ALL THE WAY AROUND. THEN take wide clear tape or masking tape even duct tape woudl be fine because you will cover it with paint. You tape it on the OUTSIDE on ONE SIDE and THE INSIDE ONT HE SAME SIDE. SO the top opens and shuts. decorate with your papers and embelishments. you can make you a closure as I did out of chipboard and brads. then you can fill it with matching cards. THIS makes a fun gift for anyone.
oh MY COUNTERTOP IS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY. John is gone to pick it up RIGHT NOW. My mother is coming in the morning to help me out with Bella and celebrate Easter. SHingles are so not fun and just in my way right now. I keep saying THIS TOO SHALL PASS. Thank GOD it isnt as bad as it has been in the past. Still cant get out around in the sun and stuff. Hope you have a wonderful THursday. ANd If I dont see yall again through the weekend. A VERY HAPPY EASTER.

SO MUCH FUN TODAY!!
WE HAD SOOOOOOOOO MUCH fun today at our playgroups Easter Egg hunt. IT was a gorgeous BUT HOT day here. we actually got a little sunburned I KNOW before you fuss at me though i did have on sunscreen I just am THAT not able to be out in it with the meds. IT willb e fine im sure.
The kids were so excited and wanting to hunt eggs like RIGHT NOW. SO ANnette hid them all and lined them up. THey were REARING TO GO.
.
THEN we had cupcakes
Bella, Kenzie and Abby LOVED feeding the ducks and Seagulls.
THIS ONE CRAZYYYY duck Bella was throwing crackers to, Kept just quacking at her and following her. WEll she threw a cracker to it and it landed between its feet. The crazy bird coulndt find it cuz of where it landed and kept quacking and quacking. THEN this seagull SWOOOPED down and snatched up the cracker from BETWEEN the ducks feet OMGOSH the scrap was ON! Bella TOOOOK off running (so did I) then we started laughing cuz that duck was so fat it couldnt see the cracker.
Everyone picks at me because when I am out anywhere at an event or just out taking photos. I take SOOO MANY I mean up to 200 to 300 shots sometimes. BUt any of you that take photos or scrapbook know YOu take a lot Looking for THAT SHOT. You know the one. THe one that makes you always smile when you see it. The one you CANNOT WAIT to print and scrap. WEll here is one of those photos. I LOVE this one with the lake and the ducks and her expression is just so Bella.Here are a couple more that I just liked of her playing today at the park where we hunted the eggs.
This picture just screams theme of the day to me. HAPPY. HOW can anyone not smile looking at this photo with the bright colors and that sweet smile. YES IT makes me forget how bad she can be when I see this cutie face right here. 
WE had a beautiful day today and had such a great time.
Bella has really started coming out of her shell at playgroup, she was so excited to see katie Ann, Abby and Kenzie there today. She has been around them a little more so she will play when they are there. She missed seeing Kellery and Cannon today. She asked about them all the way home.
THis shows just how much Bella loves Kenzie. She just smiles and smiles whenever she sees her. IS kensie not the cutest thing ever with that hair. (her mama is gonna schmak me for putting that on there but gosh that is so cute) They were having so much fun.
HOPE you had a fun Tuesday also. NOW I am off to scrap some of these pictures hehehe

WHICH KICKED OUR BUTT yesterday moving it all out.

It has kept me from worrying if my page made it to the next round of competition. I wont know till tomorrow. You have to pick your 10 favorites. Everyone votes then they have a panel of Judges that vote. and they average the score. SO nahhh Im not nervous. I just wanna throw my guts up in anticipation THATS ALL. THIS IS WHY I NEVER enter those contests.
I scoped out the competition and well OMG they are all fabulous. so yeah Im nervous.
SO Bella is helping us with the scrap room.... a little too much. Her little friend that she was going to play with today fell through. SHe is not feeling well so we decided ahhhhh we will stay home. And the weather is rather crappy but that is a good thing. WE NEED SOME RAIN. My eyes are so swollen up with allergy and sinus pain right now i look like i havent slept in weeks. Even though I slept very sound and hard last night. Im so excited. John has really planned this out and worked so hard on my room. He is so good to me. We have been planning this a long time and collecting things to do it with along the way. A friend of ours does reconstruction work. He fcund some things they tore out of some houses for us to use as well so it is coming along nicely. John is going to paint a couple other pieces of furniture for me and we will be all set. The counter/island is going to be bigger than we thought but Katrina and annette should have plenty of room to scrap now hahhahhaha! So get ready for some weekend scrappin to come up soon.

Lotd and a tribute
I wanted to thank Becky for Choosing My page for Layout of The day At Scrapbook Chalet. THis page means alot to me. IT was going to be published in the book with the other but since it has some memorabilia in it that is precious along with newspaper clippings I can't replace if something happened to it.. I wasn't comfortable mailing it in. SO the Editor said how about this other layout instead. which worked out perfectly. You can see those layouts the end of APril in the new book by pine cone press called NEVER FORGOTTEN. I thank her for giving me that opportunity and putting some closure in my life by doing those pages. It was very difficult but I feel better and the fact they will be in a book makes them that much more precious. If you know what our family went through those 11 years ago and well still mourn today you will understand the honor it is. I would like to thank Jamie and Pine cone press for that opportunity. I am TRULY HONORED. I can never say Thank you enough.
I also wanted to add... a valuable lesson. ASSUME. What does ASSUME mean? Break it down. ASS u ME. Knowledge is power.

IT is going to be an amazing book and a dream come true for alot of people. (praying none of my pages get cut double finger cross) This was a very emotional and difficult thing to do since the pages were on my dad and his death. I had to do alot of in depth journaling.

Un toot and a RE toot
Hey yall! I was a little dissapointed that my layout got cut from the Journaling your stories book. I received the book in the mail with a cool box full of goodies. I was so confused when I couldnt find my layout in there about them naming the road after my dad.

AS IF!!! PLEASE, go ahead and add it. Would you like me to tap dance for ya? whehew!
I was concerned because I got this box in the mail with ALL THIS STUFF in it saying I had ordered a kit and of course John was going WHAT you ordered a KIT? How much was it when did you order it where i the check blah blah. and IM going UGH... Maybe .. maybe not I dont remember ordering it.
SO anyway... they had sent the payment on since they were keeping it for the MaY issue and they send the layouts out seperate from the goodie box (which was really coool box of goodys by the way) I got the scenic route laurel pack and a big trio pack of BLING cardstock (whehew) and some awesome chipboard flowers and stuff from plain janes, some rub ons and all kinda stuff in that box it was packed full.. and 2 copies of the book!
SO I untooted but now Im re tooting! CUZ now it will be in the MAY issue whehew! SOooo keep your eye out for that.
So now im not bummed anymore and I got this COOOL email to boot!
