I've been tagged but.......

sadly, I am a computer idiot!!!!!!!! Selena and Elaine both tagged me and made the cutest tags for me and would love to pass this along to some of my bloggin' buddies, but I DON"T KNOW HOW!!! Isn't that embarrassing, I am such a loser!!! Oh well, I really appreciate the thought girls and as far as passing along, I'll just pass along in spirit to all my bloggin' buddies!!

Good news....

I received some really cool news on Sunday night!! Treasured Scrapbooking has selected me to be their Guest Design Team member for the month of September. I am so excited about that and I get to work alongside Dani, she's such an inspiration. I can't wait to see the kit and what I will be working with, I hear Leslie puts together a great kit, woohooo!!

Tomorrow we will be leaving for our vacation, a week or so on the beach, I cannot wait!! We may even sneak in a camping trip when we get back. Then it will back to school time for all of us!! I am getting excited!! So we'll see ya's all in a couple of weeks, don't have too much fun without me!! I'll miss ya'll!!!

Some new goodies!!

Yesterday was the first time I've been shopping for scrappy supplies since June when my LSS closed. I went to a store not that far from me and I bought some yummy new Melissa Frances papers and stickers and stuff and I got these fabulous K & Co. glitter rub ons!! What fun. Here's just a couple of cards I've been playing with today with my new goodies!! The first card is a Christmas card with Melissa Frances' new Christmas collection. The rub on is from her too.

The second card is Cosmo Cricket paper with the fun K & Co. glitter rub ons. I also glittered the swirls in the CC Paper. I love the green and black combo.

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weekend!!

End of Summer Blog-a-Bration

Check out this blog!! Gotta love a party!! Sounds like a great way to end the summer along with my vacation!! Woohooo!!
I am officially done at work now, another reason to celebrate, woohoo!! Bring on September and all of its many changes that are to come!! All my children will be in school, even my baby, boohoo. I will be in school, YIKES, I am starting to get a little nervous, but very excited too!! A totally different direction in my life, but I love change and I am up for the challenge. It's been 22 years since I've been in school and just hope I can handle the pace. I probably won't have much time for cardmakin'!! I'll just have to take a trip down to my room every now and then and just sniff my papers, ha!!
It's Friday today and I am off to meet my buddy Debbie and we are going shopping for some yummy new Melissa Frances stuff, I can't wait to get my grubby little fingers on those papers. Then we are off next week to spend the week on the beach, aaahhhh, small the salt air, feel the ocean breeze. I am feeling restored already!!! Love yas, have a great weekend!!!

Where has the time gone!!

My sweet Abby turns 5 today. She's no longer my little baby, she's a big girl now!! Off to school in a few more weeks, I can't believe it. Seems like we just brought her home from the hospital. She had a fun little party today that she's been planning for months. Every detail was planned out right down to the color of sprinkles on her cake!! I think she had a pretty good day and it lived up to all her expectations. I took a few photos of her this afternoon before any guests arrived. These are two of my favorites. I love this kid so much. I don't know how I am going to let her go on her first day of school. I'll need the Kleenex that day!

Happy Birthday Abby

Love you

Getting to know you, getting to know all about you......

Sing along now!! OK, I was surfin' this morning and was checking out Amy Westerman's blog (I love her work) and she has started a new tag game. An easy way of getting to know someone a little bit better, I am going to post the questions here and answer them and then I am going to tag someone that I'd like to know a little bit better!! Let's keep this going and see how far we can take it. Copy these and answer them on your blog and send along to someone else!! Come on now, do it!!

• I'm happiest when...My honey's home and my children are all getting along and we are a happy little family.
• Someday I'm going to...have a lovely little cottage home by the ocean.
• When I'm really down, what I want to do is...lock myself in the bathroom and cry!!
• I feel anxious when...I have to speak in front of a group of people I don't know very well.
• I'm afraid that...I am not going to survive raising three teenagers
• I like people who... caring and kind and fun to be around
• All it takes to make me happy is...when my children are getting along nicely and I am in my happy room with some fun new scrappy supplies.
• What I really want to do is...live a nice, quiet, comfortable life with my family
• I wish that...we had a little bit bigger house and that my girls each had their own bedrooms.
• I don't like people who...think they are better than other people
• A person really should...take care of their teeth!
• I just hate it that...food has calories
• I have everything I need, however...and unlimited scrapping budget would be so nice.
• If I could do whatever I wanted, I would...learn to fly an airplane!!!

Now let's see, who shall I tag?? Hhhmmmmmm, I am going to tag someone I don't know very well at all and hope to learn a bit more about her, I hope you play along Bety!! I love your work!!

Believe.....in Cosmo Cricket

Well, this is rather timely, I just found this on the Cosmo Cricket blog, take a look, sounds like fun!!

Well, I believe the humidity finally broke around here, thank heavens!! I felt like I was starting to melt, which would be really great if I could melt off a few pounds, ha!!! Anyway, here's a little card I did for Carla's sketch challenge on her blog!! I used up some Cosmo Cricket papers and that gorgeous Santa image. I kinda messed up my stitching around the circle so that is the reason for those snowflakes, especially the third one, it is hiding my sins!! Thanks for the great challenge Carla, I love that sketch!!
