A Good Monday

YAY! Tammy is back from Austin and I am not lonely anymore! LOL We decided to say the heck with our cleaning today and we headed out to our favorite spot...SB911 for a little therapy!! LOL I was actually very good and only spent $18!! I can't even believe it!! Tammy spent more, but she says it was all my fault! LOL Okay, I'll take the blame!! Hee,hee!! I got some cool, new papers and this really neat little 7 Gypsies book I'm going to fix up for Miguel for Father's Day. I already have some cool ideas for it too!! The stamps are Autumn Leaves and I got those in the mail today from scrapbook.com. I just loved them in the friends book Janey made and I HAD to buy them!!




Here's an updated pic of my scraproom just for fun :)





And here is a pic I took of some beautiful flowers that are growing on this "tree" that Miguel planted in our front yard. I don't know what they are called, but they are so pretty!!



I ended up doing a good part of my cleaning today in the late afternoon. Still have a bit to do tomorrow, but maybe after I can work on the last three weeks cards for the art journal challenge. I already got pics printed out for two of them and a couple of ideas so maybe I'll get some scrapping time in while Mikey naps. Well, I should head off to bed. I'm tired and I have an earache :( Nighty nite!

Some more LO's

So happy that I got a little more scrapping done today! I think I'd better stop though because I might run out of ideas by this coming Saturday's crop! I think I'll just start sketching my LO's and getting my stuff together for the weekend. I still need to do the last two week's cards for the art journal challenge also. Maybe I'll just do those plus this weeks card during the week and save the LO's for Saturday. Anyway, here are the LO's I did. One is pretty simple,but I like it. And I really LOVE the way the one of all the kids together came out!! I've been using sketches lately and it really helps ALOT!

Happy National Scrapbook Day :)

My sis came over today and we scrapped the day away!! I got three LO's done. I used a sketch for all three, but changed them up a bit to make them my own! I am really loving the way they turned out! My sis got alot done too! I'm sure she'll post on her blog! I hope you all got lots of scrapping done too and maybe a little bit of shopping! :)

Happy Birthday to....ME!! JK :)

LOL Today is my good friend Tammy's birthday and I just wanted to wish her a very GOOD one!! Tammy will be turning 21 today...LOL..she is FINALLY legal...go Tammy...go!! Get your drink on!! LOL I think it was almost a year ago when I "met" Tammy. I know she was still up in Michigan and we would "talk" through email and IM too I guess...can't remember. Anyway, I liked her alot and thought she was such a great, funny, kind, person, so I was SO happy to hear that she was moving down to San Antonio. Even happier, when I found out she was living RIGHT down the road from me! Ahh...it was FATE! LOL Getting to the point, I love Tammy...she's such a great person, and wonderful friend and I'm so glad she moved to Texas....HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIOTCH!! LOL JK :)

Another LO

Yay..today I got to get a little more scrapping done! After my mom's book, I got to work on this quick LO of the kids this past Easter while Mikey and Lij played semi quietly! I really like the way this turned out and I'm happy to say that it was all my idea and not a scraplift! I totally need to do my cards for last week and this week. Maybe tomorrow....

It's done!!

The book I was making for my Mom to give her on Mother's Day is done! I did the last page today and decorated the little purse. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!

I also finally took a picture of that volcano that Elijah had to do for his Science project. It's not the best pic because I took it last night after dark, but I wanted to take a pic of it before I threw it away. It had been sitting on top of the fridge for weeks and yesterday while I was cleaning, I decided to finally get rid of the thing! I think Miguel did such a great job with it considering what we had to work with!

Another LO

Here's another LO I had planned to work on at the crop on Saturday. I worked on this last night. I love the way it turned out! Thanks for looking :)

Some Goodies and some LO's

So we had to cut tonight's crop a little short because Nick wasn't feeling well and Tammy had to go home, but we still got a little bit of cropping and a bit of shopping done too of course!!We also made a new friend, Barbara...Hi, Barbara :) She did an awesome LO of her daughter playing soccer that me and Tammy just loved!! I did this LO there and am pretty happy with the way it turned out! It was a scraplift of Ali's "Backseat Driver" on sb.com :)

I started this second LO right before we had to leave so I came home and finished it. I am really liking this one too!




Here's a pic of the goodies I got. I also got one of those yummy cans of Crate chipboard letters but forgot to put it in the pic :(





After Tammy dropped me off at home, me and Miguel went and had dinner with some friends and we got to come home and spend some time together minus the Monkey!! (thanks to my mommy!)So all in all, it was a good night :) But it's two thirty in the morning and I should try to get some good sleep while I can. Mikey will be back tomorrow and back in the middle of the bed!! So good night!!

A Pressie From Australia and more goodies :)

I just HAD to say "pressie" because that is what Janey calls it and I just love it!! LOL :) I got these awesome bags of chipboard from my new friend Janey who lives all the way in Australia!! Thank you so much, Janey!!! I can't wait to use them!!

Me and Tammy also went to HL today and did some minor damage on their half off sale. I got these yummy Autumn Leaves stamps that Tammy and my sis already had and I just LOVED so I had to snatch them up! I also got some Doodlebug stickers, some MM alpha rubs, a Daisy D's sheet of rubs, and two great finds in paper: the Halfway Cafe line from Cosmo Cricket and this cool pack of Bazzill...LOVE them!! Oh, I also found this cute sign on my way out and just HAD to have it even if it wasn't on sale...LOL!






Tomorrow night, Tammy and I are cropping at 911...hope they still have some of their new goodies left!! After that, I promise I will be good on my spending :P

I've been tagged by Tammy

I have to list seven random things about me. I will try :)

1. I hate any CREAMY or WHITE food...don't like milk, eggs, mayonaisse, cool whip, ranch dressing..you get the picture..don't know why either. ALTHOUGH I will eat creamy if it's chocolate!! LOL

2. I took two naps today...a two hour one and then a FOUR hour one with Mikey. Didn't get much sleep last night w/all that scary rain!

3. We don't wear our shoes in the house....I'm a big germaphobe!!

4. I can't leave the house unless it's in some kind of order...yes, I also have OCD!! LOL

5. I don't know how to swim!

6. I think entirely TOO much...and live inside my head most of the time.

7. I can NOT live w/out music!


BTW, today is day three back on the treadmill. Did my 2.5 miles, but only ran three minutes straight then two. It's going to be harder than I thought to get back where I was :( But I'm not giving up!!
