{just a quick note}

I wanted to say Congratulations to my friend Dawn for making the Design Team over at Freckle Friends. I met Dawn over at Scrappy Girl Designs and if you remember she sent me this... I'm so happy for her. Dawn is super nice and super talented so if you get a chance go check her out over at Freckle Friends!

I will return this evening with an update and some creations!!!

{packing is not my favorite thing}

at least not for this reason, packing for a trip to Venice, now that's different.

So I have spent the entire night (friday) and day (today) packing and getting rid of all the stuff we don't need. I don't think I would be as frustrated if Caitlyn could pack her own things.
Anyway, I just wanted to post my card for My Sketch World and now I'm back to packing before bed. Tomorrow the actual packers are coming! Did that sound as strange to you as it did to me...
why in the heck are we packing if we have packers coming? I don't know.
Hopefully tomorrow night I will actually have time to sit down and create something.

Still loving the Dream Street Paper!!!

{friends and scrapping}

First things first has anyone seen my friend Jemma? It's totally unlike her to not post for so long, I'm actually a little worried. If anyone sees her out there in scrappy internet land tell her to either update her blog or come and check in with me. Thanks.
Now for the scrappy update. I received my kit from Scrappy Girl Designs today for my Guest Design Team spot and it is way better IRL than on the net. I can't wait to get started on it. It's actually two kits in one so I will be able to get plenty of projects completed. I don't think I will be creating tonight though because I am already falling asleep just sitting here. I'm going to try to take a midnight nap.
And lastly we get down to business... Memorable Seasons will be hosting it's first ever online crop next weekend. There will be challenges, games, and prizes. Please stop by and crop with us if you have time. We are also doing a Mother's Day Card swap/challenge so if you would like to come sign up there is still time.
Also don't forget to go check out the latest card sketch at My Sketch World. It will be posted tomorrow.

{lights out}

Wow you say two posts in two days? Yes that's correct. I was lucky to be blessed with electricity again so I thought I'd update.
The weather here in the Lone Star state was a little intense this evening. Crazy thunder and lightening! Anyway, our electricity went out and that meant no Top Chef for me and no scrapping. Although I hate to leave unfinished layouts on my scrap desk I'm afraid tonight I have to. I should be able to get them done tomorrow since I will be at home. Caitlyn has some type of virus so until her fever breaks she is considered contagious. Poor baby.
So... I'm off to bed. Until tomorrow.

{happy earth day!}

I can't believe it... I've been super busy lately. I'm trying to get everything ready for the move while still working 40 hours a week. I really should have quit my job already. In addition to that, I have been trying to gather information so that I can purchase a laptop. Our PC will be in storage for 60-90 days and I can't be without a computer!! (my laptop belongs to work). I am also trying to figure out how to ship some of my scrappy stuff to Florida so that I have it and it doesn't have to be in storage.... there is NO WAY I am going to go 60-90 without scrapping, my eyes are watering up just thinking about it.

Well, over at Memorable Seasons Jen has started a T2T challenge. You set a goal on Tuesday of things you plan to get done by Tuesday of the next week. My goal for this first week was 2 cards and 2/3 layout. Come on over and check it out. I finished both of the cards tonight so I'm halfway to my goal. I can only post one because the other is my DT assignment for My Sketch World.
Tomorrow I plan to get at least 2 of the layouts completed.

Hope everyone has a Scrappy Wednesday!!

{super great news}

I went out of town this weekend to take Caitlyn to see her Oma and Opa before we move. Well, I got back pretty late this evening, but I returned home to a very happy email.
I made the Design Team for Memorable Seasons!!!!
I am so excited to be a part of this team. Jill, who is the owner of Memorable Seasons is super sweet and all of the ladies on the message board are super talented. I am looking forward to working with all of the DT ladies and making Memorable Seasons a great place to hang out. If you have some time stop by and check us out.

Now for my bad news. There are only two weeks left in the month (where did the time go) and I have done a terrible job of keeping my blog updated. My goal is to do a better job for the remainder of the month.
My other bad news... I don't have a project to share. I have at least three ideas in my head but have not had time to get them onto a page. Although this week will be extra busy, I plan on getting a few projects done, especially since I am not doing very well with my goals for the month.

{i'm still here...somewhere}

Okay I totally didn't realize that I hadn't updated since Monday. Please don't think that I've disappeared off the face of the Earth... I'm still here!

I don't really have anything to share this evening. My mommy and I took Caitlyn to get her ears pierced today. I planned on taking picture (who wouldn't want to scrap this moment). Well I didn't even get one picture. I was so scared to watch that my mom had to hold her for the procedure while I hung out in the back of the store. I just hate to see my princess in pain.

I'm updating early tonight because I am going to spend the remainder of the evening getting our taxes finished - I know I shouldn't have waited until the last minute!

Lastly I leave you with a card I made for an "edge" challenge over at The Coconut Scrapshop. I will hopefully get some scrapping done tonight and tomorrow so I can give you another update tomorrow night!! Hope everyone had a fantastic Saturday.

{update please}

Okay I totally hadn't realized that it has been three days since I've updated. I normally try to update before I go to bed, but this weekend I was falling asleep pretty early.
The first thing I wanted to share was the Scrappy Mail I got today. My friend Dawn over at SGD sent me a small box of happy. She makes the most fabulous cookies!! Look how cute....

And that little toad was "toad"ally yummy.
On to scrapping... I have completed a couple of projects the first is a scraplift challenge for Memorable Seasons site, it is my take of a layout originally done by Danielle.

BTW - The patterned paper on this page is the new Scribble Scrabble line - very fun stuff.
The second is an Easter mini book to put Caitlyn's Easter pictures in. I used the Reminisce Easter papers on this.

Hope everyone had a great Monday and wishing you an even better Tuesday!
Good nite!

{yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh}

I totally stole that title from my friend Jemma. She used it because she made the Design Team over at Scrapbook Star. Go check her out. She is uber-talented and has the cutest puppy ever.
So in the spirit of good news I've got some as well.

First, I was chosen as the April Guest Design Team member at Scrappy Girl Designs. I am so excited and at the same time a little nervous. The great thing about the SGD kits is you actually get two kits and an altered project so there is plenty to do with the kit. Come over and check them out if you get a chance.
Second, some of you know that we are planning on moving to Florida. Well, it looks like it will happen alot sooner than I expected. We put our house on the market less than a month ago and we received an offer for it last night. Like any good seller we counter offered and THEY ACCEPTED IT!! What? So we will be moving out of our house in the next 23 days. Luckily my husbands company is paying for our move so I don't have to lift a finger (I'm packing my own scrap stuff though!!)

Lastly I'm going to share a secret with you. It is my lifelong dream to be a Girl Scout troop leader! Yes, you heard me right. So, when I heard that AC Bailey was having a Scrap Scout Challenge where you could earn badges (just like the Girl Scouts) well I didn't hesitate to sign up. It's an 8 week challenge so I will be pretty busy scraping for awhile (which is good right?) Hopefully they will let me post my projects here during the challenge.

One more thing... tomorrow the new My Sketch World layout will be posted. Make sure you go sneak a peak and feel free to join in. We would love to see your work.

(april fool's day}

Hope everyone had a great April Fool's day. I was able to keep from getting "fooled" until about 10:30pm and my Mother In Law is the person who get me. Oh well.

On the birthday front... it was a pretty good day. I received an Edible Arrangement from one of my best friends and it was/is yummy. I haven't finished it yet but I should be done tomorrow.


I took the plastic off so everyone could see it better. I didn't get to my cake, but I assume it can hang out for a couple of days right?
As for scrapping... I have set my goals for April as you can see to the right, and I plan to achieve them both in addition to at least one project. I am in the middle of putting together a couple of things for a DT Call, I will share them in a few days I'm sure.
Well, I'm off to bed...I'm extremely tired tonight. Not sure why!
