What up??

It's one of those days. Feeling nice? Not. I had my daughter home sick for 2 days, yesterday we had a snow day and today we have a half day. Don't you know Little Miss Sunshine pitched the mother of all fits about going to school. My stomach hurts, I'm going to pass out, I think I have a fever....ahhh!! Just go to school, you know for all of 4 hours! It reminded me of this page I did awhile back when she was going through what I refer to as a bad case of PMS. Yes, PMS symptoms at the ripe old age of 8. God help me!

Sketch Happy

Here's a couple more lay outs I got done this week. Lately I've been a complete sketch freak. The Live Laugh Love is from a Becky Fleck Sketch and the Your Light is from a Lisa Costanza sketch which I made for a challenge over at The Scraproom. My daughter is home sick today and will be home again tomorrow. Maybe get some more scrap time in. We are also suppose to get a storm on Wednesday. I really need to clean my scrap room, ok my whole house but right now I just care about my scrap room!! You know how it is when that mood strikes you!

Fabulous

I actually got a few pages done this past week! Yeah me!!! Lately I seem to look lovingly at all my supplies but just never have the time to play.
I used a Sketch by Tamara for the Nurture Your Mind page. The If You See a Chance page is with some yummy stuff from my Sweet Pea kit and the journal tag is by Jenn Stevens. This page is my fave. It was my daughters second swim meet and it was her swimming against FIVE swimmers from the OPPOSING team. The other team was menacing! Black swim suits, black caps and Lot's of army like chanting!! I saw my baby up on those blocks and thought oh man, she's gonna get clobbered these girls looked tough!! Well our team did get beat and we got beat bad but that day but my daughter pulled off a win that that had the crowd on it's feet!! She never ceases to amaze me.

Happily Bummed

Well, I didn't make the So Sketchy DT and I'm really bummed about that. I knew the chance was really slim, let's face it. How many talented scrappers are out there??? I go on Two Pea's in a Bucket and when I see some of the stuff out there I think damn! I should delete my whole gallery!! Anyway I was bummed about it. To make myself feel better I went for a little shopping therapy!! Michael's has this Colorbok line, yeah Colorbok. It's called Friendly Forest. Usually I walk by Colorbok at Joanne's and think ughhhh, WHY!! This line though.....Too stinkin cute!! Armed with only a purse and a gift card, I walked away a happy scrapper!! Check out all the goodies I got.

I was also smilin today because I have my first ever follower. WooHoo. My new buddy Jillene, she's a gal who's not afraid to dish about booooooogers! Rock on Jillene!

Now run off to Michael's before all these little forest friends are gone!!

Wish Me LUCK for 2009!

Ok so I love Allison Copes So Sketchy site and since she's looking for some new DT members I decided to apply. Here's what I came up with. The task was to use 2 of Allisons Sketches and then 3 of your choice. First up is Winter Wonderland using So Sketchy Sketch #74




Next up I used Sketch # 73 for my US page


>

The other two pages are of my own design.



The last page I chose was a page using a Becky Fleck Sketch that I did a few months ago. I was going to submit something new but thought I should show what I could do with a sketch and of course I love this one because it's my Gram!




Happy New Year!!

Christmas Eve

WOW! How is it Christmas Eve already? I want more time!!! The holiday season is my favorite time of year and I'm sad that it's almost over. I wish I could bottle up that Christmas spirit! Another sad note, It was also our last night with the Elves! They were especially bad last evening. Clarissa tied up Maxwell and toilet papered our entire house! She had attached a role of toilet paper to the back of the Barbie Volvo and drove it all through our house! Clarissa's last stop was right into the Christmas tree! So glad it was Kelsey's "play" tree!



Once we got that mess cleaned up it was off to bake some cookies! I think that was a bigger mess than all the toilet paper. I soon regretted telling Kelsey that she could decorate the cookies anyway she wanted. Holy sugar!!


Later on we'll head off to Grandma and Pop Pops. Usually after we leave Grandma and Pop Pops we head off to Watt's Wonderland. It's a local light attraction that has become our Christmas Eve ritual. It's a couple miles of nothing but Christmas decorations. LOOOVVVVEEEEE it! We knew that it would be raining ALL day today so we decided to go last night. As usual it was awesome!






Well off to wrap the last of the presents and get ready for tonight. Soooo blog buddies I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Three more days to scrap time! wink wink.

Kids Can Scrap

Kid's Can Scrap, but I can't. Ho Hum....Yup. Once again my daughter is getting to scrap more than me. She wanted to enter the Ornament Challenge over at Kid's Can Scrap,http://www.kidscanscrap.com/ . I think she did a pretty good job considering she won't take any creative direction from Mom. LOL Oh....how I long too scrap again. Is it wrong to be jealous of your child? I wanna play too! I need some serious sleep and some scrap time. I started my 25 days album ohhhhh 2 weeks ago. I got as far as page 18 and haven't touched it since! Shame on me. I've at least been taking pictures. Enough Mommy whining....

Heeeerrrreeee is Kelsey's ornament.
