MIA....

Well I wanted to apologize for binging MIA for so long. So many things have happened. My computer crashed on me, so I was bouncing from one friends computer to another but I couldn't get all my stuff uploaded to their computers. I did get my computer some what fixed and then both og my kids got really sick and then there has been some personal stuff, Family wise, that I'm just not ready to share yet, so please forgive me for being gone so long and I hope you still check back and will see I'm back!!



Well lets see..... I have been scrapping some here and there, more so lately. Its been nice to get back into it, I missed it! I've also been doing more out door things with my kids and that's been nice too. We've been having fun with little experiments, for instance, we got a few bottles of coke the other day and a few packages of mentos took them outside in the yard. When you put the mintos in the coke they start spewing out, (really an experiment for out side!), well depending on how many mentos you put in the higher the fountain that comes out. Needless to say my boys LOVED it!! Were going to start rock candy some time after it gets cold because that one will take time. I've got recipes for moon much, gack, play dough and some other things. Were also going to try some other science projects and more outside things not that its starting to cool down. Well going to go for now, post more later. And its nice to be back!!!

Mothers Day and a project

So how was your Mothers Day?? I hope it was great! My Mothers Day gift came a few days early this year. My kids and hubby got me an adorable little Maltese puppy. She's great and so fun. And so little. She reminds me of a cat kind of,lol. She pounces and attacks stuff, So fun. I'll have to get a picture up here in the next few days. Shes always running around doing something. :)

Well this here LO is one I did for the Lets Get Peachy Design team. I, like fellow scrappers have a hard time scrapping our selves. Were usually busy scrapping our kiddos, family and other friends and pets. So this was kind of hard for me, but I think I did an alright job.


Well I have tons to get done, few projects here and there. I also have a few shows that are on tonigh that I want to catch, then back to scrapping.lol

out scrappin

Yesterday I actually got to scrapping!! I went to my LSS, I got to go and finish up some projects and start some new ones,lol, it was so nice!! Here's my messy scrap ares at my LSS,lol. Spread out over a 6ft table, got my m&m's, my zune, coke and my camera, I was good to go!! lol :) This is kinda clean though....just thought that when I looked at the picture,haha when I scrap at home it look so much more messy... Maybe its just me maybe its not that messy here at home, I'll have to take a picture tonight when I'm scrapping and compare it to this one,lol









Anyways......It was great to be around the other scrappers too, more inspiration, more ideas!! lol And new products!!! Love that so much!! Let me see.... I got some BoBunny, Graphic 45, Webster's pages, Pink Paislee, more chipboard, I always need more of that too!lol And I got some of the new 7 Gypsies Collage tissue paper, distress inks and more Tim Holtz goodness!! I cant wait to play with it!! Now I need to get me some more flowers and glimmer mist!! Then I'd be set for a while :) Maybe......lol.

I have so many things I want to try now! I have so many altered projects flying around in my head, I need to write them down so I dot forget!! lol But during the day today, it doesn't look like I'm going to get much scrapping done, But that's ok. tonight I will,lol. I have a birthday party to get ready for! My oldest turned 6 the other day and now were having his party tomorrow, and God willing it will be a great day! But I'm doing the cake tonight so I dont have to rush in the morning to get it done, so that will take a little of the stress out of it,lol. Might have to post some of the pictures tomorrow! :)

Woo Hoo, I'm a Peachy Kat!!

So I'm so happy to announce that I'm a new member of Let's get Peachy!!!
Here is the the Let's get Peachy blog, you really need to check it out! Hope to see you around and can't wait to see what You think of it!! So excited!! :)

No charger :(

Ok so the title has two meanings,lol. It's been crazy here, but I've loved it!! But I just feel like I can't fully get back into the swing of things and I cant get enough sleep, or I guess you can say I cant get charged back up! lol Lame I know... anyways....

Well when I say its been busy around here these are some of the things we've been doing.....
My oldest son has been wanting his room painted green for so long, so I went and got some of the little sample bottles and painted 3 big squares on his wall and let him choose. So one night we made a fort in the living room and let him sleep out there, we cranked up the music and painted his room. And he loves it!! Now we just need to up date his room some more for a big boy room. We put in a new desk and TV and he was totally excited that he had a place to do home work and to watch his movies. Still more to do there but its going to be a little at a time. Then in our youngest room we just rearranged and put a new TV in, to be honest I'm not to psyched about either of them having a TV in there rooms, I think there too young, just what I think but my hubby thought it would be great. Anyways..... Well then we rearanged out living room and my hubby built a new TV stand, I'll have to get some pictures of the too, I think he did a great job though. And we also painted my kitchen!! I was so excited about all the changes in the house. We've lived in this house for 4 years and were juts starting to make it look like a home, and its still got a long way to go!

But now we have a birthday party to plan and I have to get on the invites and everything. My little guy is turning 6!! Its crazy to think!! But Im so looking forward to this next week!! Its spring break and I'll get to have some time to wind down and recharge with my little ones!! I think the extra time with them will totally do it for me!!

Oh yeah the reason I haven't had any pictures lately was because my charger broke and I cant find one in the store anywhere!! So I don't know what to do. Honestly I don't have the money to buy a new camera right now, so I'm going to barrow my moms tonight and take some pictures and get them on here. Sorry for the lull in the blog but I'm so use to blogging with pictures,lol.

Busy night...

Well I worked today, I have to say it was nice to get out of the house for a while and be around other adults. I got home and made dinner for the kiddies, My oldest was suppose to have a B-Ball game tonight, but I got off work late and then he didnt feel real great either. Well got them fed, chicken nuggets tonight,lol, because the chicken and dumplings wasnt ready yet. But then we all sat in the living room and made a pallet and watched Open Season 3. Kinda cute, not big into it. Anyways.... so right now I'm sitting at my desk eating chicken and dumplings and waiting for the live show to watch the rest of the CHA sneak peeks. Cant wait!! I've also got my sewing machine out in front of me, going to play with that some and I've got a movie to watch too.lol. Wondering if I'm going to get everything done that I want tonight. Oh and I also already started my laundry! lol. Well off to watch and do some stuff! Later

Wow what a morning!!

Ok so I've been home sick for almost 5 days now and it stinks so much. I'm so ready to be better and feeling better instead of feeling sick to my stomach, tired and achy all the time. UGH!! But I have to go back to work tomorrow, hopefully I'll feel better in the morning. I haven't even been on my computer in that time, that's crazy for me.lol. Anyways, now it looks like my little ones might be getting it. Witch makes since, my mom and sister have it too,I just hate when my little ones are sick. But....

Other then that its been a pretty good morning. I went to the doctor yesterday and was told I had the flu and they couldn't do anything for me, but I got to town before I planned so I went and sat at the LSS, well while I was there waiting to go to the doctor, the new 7 Gypsies line came in. OMG I love it!! And I got it!! Well I went to bed early last night, as soon as the kiddies were down, and slept until one of the boys work me up not feeling good, so I cuddled him and got him back to sleep and couldn't get back to sleep myself, so I saw the 7gypsies and decided to play with it until I could go back to bed. Well I almost finished an album,lol. But not quite. lol If I start feeling any better, I'll have it done in a few day or maybe tomorrow! lol. But not only that, but this morning I got a package in from the lovely FedEx truck!! Its from a fellow scrapper, wasn't expecting it for a few more days, but its here and I love it. Its older stuff but I love it. I got a whole pad of Prima paper and it beautiful!! some cool rub ons by Crate paper and Jenni Bowlin and a really cool stamp!





Well I'm going to lay back down and try and start feeling better. But I thought I'd share that.lol. Since I haven't been on here much lately. Hope I'll be posting more very soon! I have plenty to play with!! lol
