Some 8x8s

Here are two LOs I did in the past couple of days....one for my BOM and one for the book I started for Miguel. I really like the one I did for my book....used paint in ways I've never done and I liked it :) The journaling went all wonky and crooked :( but oh well!! I purposely cropped out most of the kids faces to get the point of my journaling across.
I took Lij with me to Hobby Lobby today...just us and we walked around there, the mall and Target then went to eat some Chinese. HL has a few new things I have my eye on. I hope there's a half off sale this week. Or at least on stickers and stamps. They got in some cooool AC Remarks matchbook sticker books, some new 7 Gypsies ones and some of the Doodlebug Hopscotch font. I can't get enough alpha stickers!! That's all for now!! TFL :) OH, almost forgot....here's another picture of Mikey with his funky hair. This time he's impersonating the "old" Ryan Cabrera! LOL :)

A LO for Miguel

I had bought and 8x8 album a while back because I wanted to use it to put just LOs about Miguel. Well, back when I got it, I did ONE LO and hadn't done anymore...LOL. So today I decided to do another. I was inspired by my friend Estee's LO of her hubby called "So You Know". So, I decided to jot down a few things about Miguel...so he knows :) I really like the way it turned out. Got to use some old stuff and some new :) Oh and here's a pic I took of Mikey in the shower with his "shampoo mohawk". He was SOOO loving it!! LOL TFL :)

This Makes 62

Just a quick LO I did tonight with those pics of Miguel with the boys that I just LOVED! I used my new Martha Stewart doily lace punch. Can't say that I'm crazy about her, but I sure do love that punch!! And I find that hers are so much easier to use than any of the Fiskars border punches I have. There's two more of her border punches that I think I want. I have two so far...the doily lace and one I think called Floral lace. I want the scallop and one that has triangles. Anyway, also used Prima papers and some of my new Prima Dude collection flowers. You probably can't see the title too well. At least the white mini alphas. It says "I live for little moments like this". Like in that Brad Paisley song. TFL :)

Some New LOs

Here are some new LOs I have done. Adriana and I went to scrap at 911 on Friday and had a great time. We pretty much had the classroom to ourselves. It was nice! I think we like it better during the day than the crops at night...just so much more quiet. I got these LOs done and I also did a "little" bit of shopping. SOOO lucky that I found the Prima Dude journaling book and sticky notes there because I had JUST been looking on ebay and almost bought them for WAY more...whew! Glad I didn't! Also got the Prima Dude flowers, some of that yummy Doodlebug polka dot papers and some Paper Frills, and some Sassafras Lass stickers. I think that was it. I didn't even hit my free $10 because there was really nothing else I wanted. I hadn't been shopping there since back in February. I missed all the good stuff :( :( Anyway, here are my LO's and a few pics I took on the Fourth of July of my three men :) We had a nice day that day. After I got home from scrapping, Miguel put some meat on the pit and we let the kids pop some "quiet" fireworks in the back yard! Then we watched from the windows inside while Miguel set off the louder ones! It was a good time :) TFL :)

P.S. LO count up to 61 :)

Playin' Dirty

This is a LO I did with those cute pics of Mikey. Me and Chon had a cyber crop and this is what I came up with. I really like it!! TFL :)

Playing Dirty

I got these really cute pics of Mikey playing in the dirt today. I swear, that kid does not care how hot it is outside, if there are mosquitoes...nothing...he LOVES being outdoors! Sooo NOT like me! LOL I'm an indoor girl! :) Anyway, here they are. And for my own personal benefit, I just want to document that I am up to 56 LOs for the year :)

And here's a cute pic I got of Miguel and Mikey today :)

A New LO

Another LO I got to do today and this one was all me :) TFL :)

Another LO

I finished this 8x8 LO for my BOM last night while Miguel was at the computer. I had been working on it for a couple of days. I got the inspiration for it from 2 Peas. Love the colors! This is supposed to match the 6x12 LO "Someday" that I did a while back with a pic of Miguel in a tuxedo at his brother's wedding. TFL :)

FINALLY...a LO!!

I started "working" on this LO last night, but I only got as far as printing out my picture. I was browsing the online galleries looking for a LO to lift and couldn't find anything to inspire me. So I just left it alone. After I got on the treadmill today, I sat down and just started putting things together and this is what I came up with. I got my inspiration from a LO on 2 Peas. I really love how it turned out. This is a picture I took of Mikey with my grandmother last week while we were visiting her at the nursing home. This was only the second time he has seen her and this time, he was not shy at all! He had her laughing and he climbed right up on her lap and let me take some pics of them together. I hope he gets to see a whole lot more of her :) TFL!

a share...

Here's a collage of picture frames I put up on one of the walls in our room here at my mom's. I had bought these frames a while back to do this on the wall over our bed back at the old house, but never got around to it. I really like it. Don't know if I want to add anything else to it. TFL :)
