A FULL SATURDAY whewww.

Man this day was almost as if it were a week in one day. Last night we had orientation for school that starts monday. YES WE OFICIALLY HAVE A FIRST GRADER IN THE HOUSE! She was not real happy about it at first. BUT then she saw her friends. She doesn't like change. She was not happy that she was getting a new teacher. BUT, she was happy that she was with most of the same kids that she was with last year. Her boy was in there and her bestie Bailey was there. She was just not happy that she wasn't sitting by either. even close to either. AND YOU KNOW at home she is very outgoing very wild child. BUT.... at school, SHE CLAMS UP and is not the same child. It takes her forever to come out. I AM HOPING since she knows all these children, it won't be that way this year. It wasn't that way last year because she knew her teacher and loved her so much. THe first year it was so hard for her. Last year was difficult with me being sick.
This year I am doing SO MUCH BETTER so I am hoping it wont be so bad. SO keep her in your prayers Monday if you would.
I took a photo of all her school supplies. We have to do the name label thing tonight. I am doing a scrapbook page tonight of what all it takes to put a kid in first grade in the year 2009. I thought it would be cool so when Bellas kids (oh man did I say that?) look back they can look through their lazerised lens gadget they use in that day and see the old fashioned things their mom used in that day haha.


One of the most important things they use.
This is a Christian School. They do alot of Memory verse work. They use the king James version. This is her special bible she got at her 5k Graduation. But it has her name embossed on it. so I will let her use it. We also will get her another one eventually.


OF COURSE she has to have the TINKERBELLE book bag.



Today has been full of grass mowing drama, kitty vs Dog drama, Bella got an all day play day with Eva and Kitty chased a squirrel up a tree and then got stuck there all day drama. So yeah... IT HAS BEEN EVENTFUL!
TO start with. Bella dressed herself. She has quite a fashion sense. So don't hate. Appreciate ok? It kinda reminds me of some photos of when I was a kid. HEY AT LEAST HER BOOTS are on the right feet!!

here is a side view....


ughmm Yeah.. I just can't say anything. She is my kid.

Johns lawn mower died... May it rest in peace. services will be held tomorrow. With a small bonfire after. Thank GOd for Bill across the Street (who also told us to keep the cat but we will talk about that in a minute) I am not sure if he felt sorry for us or if he was sick of lookin' at the jungle in front of our house, or if Guido had been sending him S.O.S. signs for help because our grass had gotten so tall in the back yard and he felt sorry for him, but he let us (meaning John) borrow his lawn mower to cut the grass today. He also let us borrow his child (Eva Caroline)See photo below To entertain Bella for the day.
They play soooooo good together. They have not gotten to play as much this summer so it was good to hear them giggling and playing today.

They had alot of fun to say the least. (you should see my house.)

The Kitty got introduced to Guido and the back yard. It was rocky at first but got bettr. THEN... It discovered the squirells. IT took off after them and up the tree it went. We tried for hourssssss to get the kitty out of the tree.
but no.. there it was hanging and sitting and laying ...


It was tense for a while there.



IT got a little comfy after a while.



FINALLY I CONVINCED IT to come down by leaving some cat food on the fence top.
Bella was so very happy. I was too because the mosquitos were getting bad and it was getting hot. John wouldn't go out and do anything about it and Bella was upset.
The cat was an abandoned cat that showed up at Bill and Amys house (Eva Caroline's) They had to go out of town and they said well if it was still there when they got back they would make it their cat... well.. Bella saw it and coaxed it over to make it OUR CAT. We tried to convince Bill YEAH THEY CAN HAVE IT BACK NOW THAT THEY ARE HOME!!!!
but... HE SAW THIS....

HE said nugh ugh suckaaaahh thats yo cat!! bwahaha.
and by the way... its a boy and its name is Harrison. so welcome home HARRY! Hope you and Guido get along cause YOU ARE NOT COMIN IN MY HOUSE!

FRRRIIIDAY!

So my mom was here for a short impromptu visit. She didn't stay long this time. Bella was very excited to see her. SHE HAD TO show her that cat. But then this morning when she left. WE COULD HAVE SWORN WE HEARD ANOTHER ONE! all I could think was ughmmmm NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THIS IS SOOOOOOOOO NOT HAPPNING!
We are getting ready for SCHOOL TO START. Bella is excited but nervous. She does but doesn't want to go.
She wants her teacher from last year to be her teacher again.
I told her THATS NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
I told her it would be exciting to have a new teacher. Just think of all the things this lady could teach her. Also the things she could teach this new teacher as well.
SHe just looked at me and said BUT MOMMY IM NOT THROUGH WITH MY OLD TEACHER YET!!!
I NEED TO BE SURE and tell Mrs. Gloria about that. She will really get a laugh out of that one.

Bella has been pouting around. You know how it is right before school starts. THE LONG FACES.

I wanted to congratulate my friend Rita she made the BO BUNNY design team. I am so proud of her. I know she has worked so hard this year. I knew it would be her year.

I didn't put my hat in for any of the design teams this year. It has been a rough one this year with the flare up I have been in. My scrapping has not been up to where it was a year ago. I am working on getting my skills back to where they were and maybe by next cha season I will be ready to start back up. I can be more focused and get my craft on! BElla being home all summer also I really havn't had alot of time to scrapbook. She is very active and she doesn't want me to work on my stuff she wants me to work on her scrapbooking lol. which requires 5 minutes. IM a slow scrapper and can take days on one page.
(YES LESLIE I KNOW I KNOW it's called ocd)

My a/c iced up and i had to turn it off and let it thaw. ITs getting rather warm in here so let me go encourage it with the fan to thaw a little faster!!
Hope you have a good evening. We have Bellas back to school stuff and getting her all ready this weekend its tax free weekend here in Mobile. (My in laws came though THANK YOUUU and helped get her all ready for back to school a few weeks ago though THANK YOU FOR THAT) NO WAY I physically can go shopping in this heat my legs don't work good. anyway before they give out completely let me go see if I can make my A/c work. Its gettin hot up in here.

Sorry for the rerun but adding things back

Adding stuff back to my blog... I had posted before my OTHER BLOG was so rudely deleted ::insert steamed face here:: A mini album I had done for my friend Linda that had come to visit after the fourth of July. She came to visit our friends Carol and Norman in Pensacola and Carol didn't get to see it because when she went to my blog to look at it. WELL... yeah. She got the big nasty contact the webhost message. SO IF THIS IS A RERUN FOR YOU. SORRRRYYYY. YOU CAN JUST SMILE POLITELY AND NOD. THANK YOUUU :)

I used the Label Tulip kit to make this mini album but I added some of my own stuffs to it. I had the Prima mini album already. I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists on it first then inked the embossed part added prima flowers and an array of buttons to decorate. I added a 7 gypsies tag That I also misted with Glimmer mist and used Tim Holtz distress inks on as well.
Also wanted to give hugs to Linda and her family hugs tonight. They have lost a loved one that fought a courageous battle against cancer. Ya'll are in our thoughts.
Also

Maybe this will make her smile a little.

IT is Monday and BOY WHAT A MONDAY IT IS!

Well Im back on my blogger blog today :)
Having major issues today!!! IS IT MONDAY? DREAM HOST SAYS MY BLOG DOESNT EXIST. with their server We switched but then moved it back we thought.Now my domain is locked for 2 months Ok, fine. I will just use my blogger account. I don't care.

But also OSS is closing down. Tracy is closing the store soo the servers have to go down. Not her fault though. I just can't get ahold of the IT person to figure this out and understand what is going on UGH! SO MAD! I didnt get to get my stuff off my blog. grrrrrr. OH well, I have it saved though. I have the file I can make a new one. In the transfer my blog was not associated with that (supose to not have been) but somehow in the confusion.... anywayyyyyyy today my blog is gone. Im still not sure how but anyway all I know is it ain't there! Im not real happy today.
but I'll get over it. crapp happens. nothing I can do about it but just keep going. Keep swimmin' I love scrapbooking. It is about all I have to keep me moving. If I stopped doing that I would do nothing but stay in bed. I get out of bed each day Take care of my family and come scrapbook :) mingle with you guys! SOOOOOO, speaking of that here is something you can look at.





THe journaling pulls out from the top behind the photo It says :
Bella and Brayden discuss important hot topics at the fall festival.
Things weighing heavily on every 4 year olds mind. You know like
Where the ice cream is, Location of the playground, But the latest
big scandalous news was that 4K was actually optional!!!

I used the threading water punch from fiskars across the top of my photo to give it that scallopy look. ISNT THAT CUTE? I used pop dots behind the title so WHAT? would REALLY POP so you could see the SHOCK of the surprise of it all. I wanted that to just really jump out.

We have a visitor at our house right now. She has been keeping Bella pretty busy.
Im getting flash backs from the last time we had a such visitor. I will have to bring us those photos.....
but here are some for your enjoyment of THISSSS visitor sighhhhh.


I think she wants to keep it .... what do you think?
Her name has changed about 4 times already.
She told me yesterday she just showed up on the porch. Then later confessed she followed her up the driveway.... "well, sorta followed me" "I had milk and treats in my hand" (yeah I would follow you too)


I am not sure how long we will get to keep the kitty. she is soooooo allergic. she is already sneezing and scratching. School starts next week.
She is so happy though. She is occupied I can say that. Man why could this cat have not shown up weeks ago? My sanity would have been so much more at ease. She has had THE BEST time today with this cat.
Tomorrow may be a different story but today. IT has been a great thing.
Although I wonder if I should warn the cat about our previous cat we had. I think that cat is now in a support group. Actually I think IT FORMED a support group "Bella annonymous" little girls who love their cats too much"
she loved it and squeezed it and petted it and chased it
omg but it was so cute. I Felt sorry for it. It kinda had that same look on its face this kitty does. That plea in its eyes for help. ya.. that one. in that photo up there.
Ill have to find photos. But look at Bellas face. SHe is so happppy. so content. sigh
yeaaaah.
Im a happy mama right now.
poor cat. She hasnt brought out the doll clothes and stroller yet. my best advice...
RUN CAT RUN!!!

Fried Ravioli oh my Heaven!!!!

Ok so my husband has never looked any better to me in his life than at this moment right now. why you say? Because he is cookin' up some yum delicious somethin' called FRIED RAVIOLI.
You know us down here in the south. We will fry anything if you give us enough time.
well yup. we have gone and done it and this invention is PUREEEE GENIUS! It is all my friend tollys fault. I was sick so sick in bed coudlnt eat. I was on the phone talkin to her. she said TURN IT TO FOOD NETWORK. AND this SKINNY I'Talian (pronounced EYE TALIAN for you that dont know me.) woman was cookin this stuff and I said "OH NO. SHE DIDNT JUST FRY THAT? IS SHE KIN TO ME? she has to be KIN TO ME." I had not been able to eat nothin but Jello and crapp of such because I was sick with shingles. so I made a solemn vow as sooooon as I was able to eat I wanted this yummy treat. My sweet hubby went out the second I could eat and got the ingredients and made this (the following monday) I got sick as I dont know what but omgosh it was worth it.

THis is good stuff blog readers I am here to tell you! ANd SUPER EASY! I got the photos to prove it so Loook a HERE: THIS IS WHATCHADO:


oops sorry let me turn it around see if I can get Bella to help


There!
In the refrigerator section of your grocery they have these raviolis. THE CHEESE FLAVOR or the spinach are the best (the meat kind get kinda ewey... just sayin. but you may like them.

2 eggs and beat them (crack em first put into bowl... in case you need a tricked out name tag and dont know nothin atall bout cookin)

get another bowl for the bread crumbs and a cooling type rack to place the raviolis on after you dip them in egg then bread crumbs.

THE ITALIAN FLAVOR BREAD CRUMBS ARE BEST.

Then all ya do...

easy huh?
They will look like this:


Then you preheat your grease:
and fry them suckers.



Dont that look gooood?

ok you got to let them cool!!!



TADAAAAAAAAAA! ( I cheated on the sauce... it is left over from pizza we ordered last night from Bucks hehe but man it is really good with it)

NOW since Nana is here and she has never tried it. IT is time for the taste test.



SHE LIKES IT! Says it is VERY GOOD!


Bella headed for seconds!

This is one of my favorite meals now! He also makes fried cheese with this. IT is a great appetizer great party food and meal we love for friday nights or when we have company over.

We had a busy day today. We got Bella out of school early since Nana is here. SHe talked me into going to Target with them and man IM whooped. but, it was nice to get out. I got some tomato plants to put in my upside down thingy do John got me as an early mothers day present and I got my new baby cousin that Brooke (Jan's daughter) is still cookin in her belly baby shower gift. Bella and I had sooo much fun looking for that baby some stuff. I could have bought everything in there. Oh I just love doing that. so much adorable stuff. I told Jan now she will just have to work on the next one or tell Britt Britt its her turn! I cant have any more so... We need a baby around. That was fun. lol.
Man am I wore out. (and its shot night blahhhhh) Had dr Appt today. I love to aggravate my dr. He was off on some kinda long cruise for a month so I greeted him with DIDJAMISSME??? WHATDIDYABRINGME??? he just cracked up. Good news my BP is back to normal WHHEEWHEWW. (finally) losing weight like crazy no clue what that is about. but IM NOT COMPLAINING YET. Im far from that lyndsey lohan epidemic weight so I am not gonna say nuffin yet. when I get to the dry bone scene and look all poorly then we might have a prollem.
for now we are just goin hmm how odd. is prolly this interferon. COULD BE WORSE YA KNOW!!! I have a healthy little girl a hubby that cooks and some fried ravioli LIFE IS GOOD PEOPLE LIFE IS GOOOOOD!
Hope you have a good weekend!

loveeee THIS Jenni Bowlin Studios Paper. I did this for ONESINGLESEED.COM looks so cute with the core dinations cardstock. My baby was almost 3 in this photo. Hard to believe she is 6 now!!


My mother in law is here and she and my sister in law were so sweet. They brought us some fried catfish from Penns. (I was so in heaven) I LOVEEE Penns Fish. About one of the only kinds I will eat. Luckily they found out they will be opening one here in Mobile HE HE. LUCKY ME! Less home sick am I now. They loaded her down with Birthday gifts. I can tell you now that she will not want to go to school tomorrow since nana is here. I bet she will be foaming at the mouth to get out of school.
Im glad she is here. I have missed her. We don't get to see her very often. I thought my dr appt was tomorrow it is Friday so I am sorry I misinformed ya. SO I will be workin on scrappy stuff tomorrow instead. I am still trying to get used to my new meds they make me very tired.I will be up and about one moment next minute I will be in the bed asleep.

How about AMERICAN IDOL? wow. Lil and Anoop? I really liked Lil she had an amazing voice. so did anoop. I think they will end up with a career I mean look at Jennifer Hudson. She didn't win American Idol. anyway, Wonder what they will be singing next week.
Bella still likes the girl with the pink hair. (thats another think I keep forgetting names) I think Danny is gonna win. But I still like Adam he rocks.But ya Danny is amazing. I would be happy if he won.
ook I better lay down I took my shot and I have a massive headache.
I need to work on some more stuff tomorrow for Scrapbook Obsessions. Their href="http://www.scrapbookobsessions.com/">May KIT is omg AMAZING.
check out the gallery and look at what our design team has been doing. you wont be disappointed. Every month these kits rock my socks.

Today was the day. Hard to believe but yup. she is officially 6 years old.
We took cupcakes and little goody bags to her school and went out on the playground and had her a small party. She said this would be ok instead of having a big birthday party at some fancy kid place that was over priced. Instead we are going to fix her room up into a big girl room (she wants it done like the girl on princess diaries (like a princess would have a room EEEEK) since you know, she is a princess and all lolololol
oh boy..


Bella passing out the goody bags to her class mates.



Her Teacher :) we just love her!!!



I think they all enjoyed the little party. They had cupcakes and sang and had their goody bags and played on the play ground for a few minutes.


THEN tonight, We had her a cake with supper and our friends/neighbors that we consider family David and Diane came over.


she blew out her candles and made a wish.


Got birthday kisses from Aunt Diane and Uncle David.



We made cilantro dip also (ya got some indigestion in a bowl is what i should call it ughhh killin me right now) but man it is sooooo goooooood! David liked it too!
Now Bella is one TIRED LITTLE GIRL (so is her mama and daddy!
It was a very fun day. Bella was anxious to spend some of her gift card and moneys so John took her with him he had to go to wal mart to get the stuff to make cilantro dip. SO she wanted Mario Party SOOOOO bad. SO we let her get that and we paid the difference. so SHE IS A VERY happy little birthday girl tonight.
I hope you all had as great a day as she did.
she is worn out tired and I am about to take a photo of my little birthday girl passed out.

OH YEAH she did get alot of phone calls and messages too but she is wiped out. She will return phone calls tomorrow. she is a tuckered little birthday girl.

noway it cant be true!

Hard to Believe my little baby is gonna be six tomorrow!!!

The sun'll come OUTTTTTTTTT TOMORRRRRROOOWWWWWWWW.....
or so they say.
I sure hope so. It is grey and gloomy out there right now so we have to do everything to keep it sunny in here right now. Therefore, we must scrap!
Sounds like a plan huh?

Here are some GORGEOUS Imaginisce papers from ONESINGLESEED.COM how cute are these?
PERFECT for any little princess.


I also finished another layout with the May kit for Scrapbook Obsessions.
Ya know Bella got all that play make up for Christmas? she is a big time girly girl and loves to play in the make up. has since she was tiny. I cant turn my head for a second and she is in it. Her grand ma's have always put lipstick on her lips when they put it on themselves. They play beauty shop with her and she got this doll head for christmas. Well what this creation was Im not sure. (I think she was tryin to say it looked like mommy when she had shingles rofl!)




I learned a nice tip yesterday. If you can't get lipstick out of your kids clothes and you have already tried shout, (NO I DONT MEAN SCREAMING AND YELLING AT THE SAID CHILD THAT PUT THE LIPSTICK ON THE OUTFIT IM TALKIN BOUT THE STAIN REMOVER SHOUT)
If you have lancome eye make up remover.. that will work too. YOU DON't wanna know how I know. JUST TRUST ME ON THIS ONE BLOG READERS. TRUST ME.

I learned that DOVE soap and water and a 5 almost 6 year olds elbow grease will take a thick glue stick coating off of an Easter Basket when stuck to a Fireplace hearth. (as well as said child)

I Also Learned that when you THINK you have thrown away all of the lipstick because you were so mad that they wiped lipstick on a brand new outfit there will alwwwwwwways be ONEEEEEEEEE MOREEEEEEEEE somewhere!!!

I Also learned that a five almost six year old always knows where that lipstick is, and is very reluctant to give it up too.

I Also learned that (when asleep) I have the sweetest little girl in the entire world. Her smile melts my heart especially right now when she is trying to give me directions to the livin' room and she is telling me to
"Take ten steps South-North to the East at the Left stop sign! BUT ACTUALLY ITS TO THE RIGHT MOMMY! so just go there! Because we are gonna be DANCIN' WITH THE STARSSSSSSS!"
"OH! and Yall on mommy blog are alllll invited! SOOOO Bring a umbrella and sparkly shoes!"

she said it was important!!

You never know you just might LEARN something. :)

Man it has been one of those weeks. SPRING BREAK. YA. The natives are getting restless. I was ready to make Bella run laps around the house yesterday.

I can remember my Daddy sayin You makin me so *&^* mad my Eye is twitchin' He got that from my grandmother<~~~~~~ his mother that is (minus the curse word) She used to baby sit kids in her home. She baby sat me alot matter of fact I spent most of my childhood after school at her house. We spent the night down there and stayed down there alot.
Her eyes twitched alot as I remember. I just thought she was winking at me.
Daddy used to wink alot too. I realise now why.
I have had an eye twitchin week. But yesterday was the topper! I didn't feel good. Got up at 4 am sick. Had dr appt to boot. Bella was suposed to go with our good friends to a photo shoot (they do Weddings and do an amazing job) <~~~ SHAMELESS ADVERTISEMENT!! she was going to feed the ducks. The shoot was at the park. I didn't want her to look like a ragamuffin so I dressed her in a new cute outfit. But back up Im getting ahead of myself. rewind.
John had to go on a call of course. How do single mothers do this?
Makes me wonder what Octomom is thinking.
THIS ONE KID Of mine gets into more crapp. what is she gonna do with all them youngens?
IM thinking back when Bella was about 18 months and I was going through a store that will remain nameless. I had her in the buggy part of the shopping cart. She pulled my purse over to the side (I had it in the seat)SHe found these really interesting things to play with. I was doing my shopping she was playing with her toys (I THOUGHT the ones that I had given her to play with) I look down and see this wrapper and think that is odd why is that thing there eww. I look back and there one is.. I look around and this lady is snickering. Im thinking what is so funny. so I go to my buggy and look atmy child playing happily. She has my "personal hygeine purse" out and was using these new "toys" like little "rockets" shooting them out of the buggy into the air watching them fly. AS IF TO SAY HOW COOL WAS THAT MOMMY WATCH.
OMGOSH the embarassment! I could have crawled under something. so I had to back track the store and find where they all went. Now this lady was rolling in hysterics. I gave her this glare like OH YA WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE! You could have said something!!! (dont people like that just tick you off?)
SO I go through the store and find them all (I HOPEED) and leave the store. My parents put the curse on me because Im sure I was this way as a child. BUT... I FIGURE that THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SOME KINDA HORRIBLE TOOOO because it always trickles down.
I have heard stories on my father. He was very mischievious. just like my Bella. I am already making plans now for her teenage years. We are getting barbwire for outside her windows and we do have a friend that works for homeland security and has offered their services. We might just take them up on it.

Our Sweet Carol

I scrapped another layout. This one is dear to my heart and done for a sweet special person Our sweet Carol. We were honored to have her and her hubby Norman, join us for Easter this past weekend. They came bearing the most wonderful strawberry shortcake ever Bella ate 3 bowls that day the little stinker As you can see Bella loves her just a wee bit!
I used the May kit from Scrapbook Obsessions. This Basic Grey Porcelain paper all I can say is YUMM! It is PERFECT for spring photos, so many things going on right now with Easter and spring things blooming I just have so many ideas going on I want to do with this paper. I already have another layout on my table in the works and photos printed for something else so.. ya. OH OH AND DON'T FORGET The prmna flowers that go with this kit are so awesome. CHECK IT OUT!
(I used a sheet of Basic Grey Ambrosia and cut the butterflies out that is not included in the kit) I used pop dots to lift the small photo up off the page for added dimension (so I could add the lumpy flowers to the page) I have hidden Journaling tucked behind the photo for her to read when she receives the layout. just a little extra happy to let her know just how special she truly is.

Tomorrow is Friday last day of Spring Break. I have dr appt's too so not sure what all we are going to do. I felt all the effects of "The Park" but, it was worth it to see her face and hear her laugh. Maybe we can do something tomorrow if I can feel like it. I have a lot of online stuff to get done too. AND to get ready for her Birthday on Tuesday EEEK NOOOO say it isn't so!@

Fun at the Park

We did something today that I have not done in a long long time. Most of you know my situation and that I have pretty much been home bound for a while. I have been feeling better (ya I actually cooked this past weekend twice!!!! the fire department didnt even have to be called hehe) so today when John got through working, we went to fly her kite. (that was the original plan anyway) Well, only problem, not a lot of wind. soooooooo we went and played instead. HAD lots of fun.
NOW I HAVE NOT photo shopped and played with these photos much yet. We had a good time though and just wanted to share.

My view behind me when I told her we were going to the park instead... I think she was not to upset? what do you think?


She really wanted daddy to push her higher... I THINK THE SMILE ON HER FACE kept getting bigger and bigger.






I have alot more photos. But I want to scrap them so. anyway... you will see them soooon :) After we left the park We were all grungy and full of mulch in our hair and all over. But HUNGRY. Bella wanted to go to "The CHICKEN STORE" (there is this restaurant here that is kinda a mom and pop place that has the best fried chicken) It is a family atmosphere that wouldn't mind that you came in fresh from the park... mulch and all. So we went straight into the bathroom and I tried to get most of the mulch off of us and wash her face and hands. so we didn't look like homeless people haha. We really don't need to be eating out right now but it was nice to. we were tired and were just tired. Came home. got sick.. but it was worth going out for I tell ya!
Watched AMERICAN IDOL! YEAH HOW ABOUT THAT!!! wow (Next week 2 eliminations I think we know the 2 going home... and its disco week haha)

Im working on another page (did I mention how many boxes I have stacked on my table and how many projects behind I am? just askin?) I hope to get it uploaded here in a little bit. IF the weather cooperates we are going to try to fly that kite it is supposed to be a BEAUTIFUL DAY!

I took my shot so side effects just starting and depending on how I feel and how sore I am from today's adventure... we will see. bye for now!
