{happy new week}

Well tomorrow is Monday again... and for some of us that means another week of work. I just wanted to update really quickly before I head off to bed. Two short things. One anyone who knows me knows I love Reese Witherspoon...and anything related to Reeses peanut butter. Which is of course is why Caitlyn's middle name is Reese. Well imagine my surprise when I found yet another reason to love the name Reese. Check out the July kit from Mosh Posh here. Is that not a yummy kit? I know what your thinking " I love Reese too"!!

The second thing I wanted to tell you about... with the 4th of July around the corner.I know that you will all be celebrating and taking lots of pictures to scrap. Well if you are looking for the PERFECT July 4th kit, check out the Coconut Scrapshop July kit featuring the new Scenic Route papers - and who doesn't love Scenic Route? Exactly.

Okay so now that I have spent a whole post advertising... I am working on a layout using some of the My Mind's Eye papers from my Memorable Seasons DT kit however I need "something" to make it complete. Maybe it will come to me in my sleep.

Have a fabulous Monday!!!

*BTW Memorable Seasons is doing a "Spend More Make More" promotion: For every $25 dollars you spend(not including shipping) you will earn a $5 gift certificate.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one watching this show. It is hilarious!! It's about 5 teenage couples that agree to take care of someone else's baby 24 hours a day like it's their child. All I have to say is that one couple was arguing before the baby even got there because the girl had to wear a pregnancy belly and she thought she looked fat and ugly.
The tv commerical is right it's not reality tv it's birth control. If you get a chance please watch it next Wednesday, it will be worth it.
On to scrapping... I finished my My Sketch World card for July using the Cosmo Cricket papers from the June Scrapcakes kit, unfortunately I can not share it until after this weekend when it gets posted..sorry.
Other than my card I haven't gotten anything else done this week because my desk looks like this -

I know it looks terrible and I'm a little embarrassed about it. I would tell you that my plan is to get it cleaned this weekend but I don't want to make that kind of commitment although I will try especially since I have a lot of stuff to work on.
Alright I'm off to bed to get some extra sleep.

{okay Jemma here you go}

I have to be honest I was going to go to bed without updating, but luckily I have a fabulous friend (that I have never met) named Jemma to make sure that I do. So this post is for her...

I got my Memorable Seasons DT stuff last week (the second time it was mailed) and finally had a chance to sit down and work with it. Somehow the mailman didn't deliver it the first time that Jill sent it and it ended up back in Texas.

Jill sent me some yummy My Mind's Eye and some Cosmo Cricket Alphas and some velvet ric rac (which I love). I've only gotten one layout done so far and 2 cards. I wanted to work on it some more tonight, however someone (I won't say any names) just went to bed about 10 minutes ago.

Okay so now that I am in scrap mode... I'm going to try to work on another one of my famous (in my own mind) sketches and continue to get my scraproom finished.

That is a lie... I'm going to continue to watch the "Guy's Choice Awards" it's like a bad accident - I can't stop watching.

First I'm going to go check out Jemma's blog and then see if I can find a couple of challenges to work on.

{really quick}

I have been doing so bad with my blogging. I need to do better I know. Anyway, I just wanted to check in for today and I promise I will have some stuff to post tomorrow. I spent the last 30 minutes or so blog hopping and learned that my friend Jemma got a fabulous new haircut and that she is the featured scrapper HERE. I'm so happy for her, and her work really is amazing.
Today was super quiet.. I went to the scrapbook store and purchased more than I should. I went in for glue dots and came out with a bag full of stuff, don't worry I'm not even going to try to justify it.
I wanted to take a trip to IKEA but it's an hour away and I just don't feel like driving that far. Oh well, maybe I can talk Cornelius into going next weekend. Alright I'm going to spend the next 30 minutes or so working on getting this room a little more organized. I hope to have it all complete before July 1st.

{it's tuesday already?}

I can't believe that it's already Tuesday...actually it's almost Wednesday!!

I have been super busy and yet I am still behind. How is that? Anyway my scraproom is on hold for now as I have got to catch up with my scrapping. Hopefully I will be back to unpacking by Thursday/Friday.

I did want to share a couple of things that I did with the remainder of my Scrapcakes kit. (BTW I still have some more paper left so I'm not done yet!!!)

Both of these projects use the Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine papers.. the first is a card I made for the #2 challenge at ScrapFriendzy (a Thank You card using felt).

The next is a layout about my little princess... I'm not sure how old she was in this photo but I'm thinking about 2 months or so... look at those cheeks!

So if you haven't gotten the June Scrapcakes kit yet... I believe you still can!!!

Also you still have time to get over to Memorable Seasons and complete the June challenges. There are three new challenges to work on and the Summer Mini Album contest is still going on .

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!

{hey guess what?}

Yes, you guessed correct it rained again today!!! So I did the best I could to get some good pictures of the inside of my mini album. I figured if I put down some white fabric I could get a better shot.





And guess what else? I forgot that yesterday was 12 of 12! I can't understand why I forget it every month. Hopefully I will get more organized (as planned) and I will not forget anymore. I'm going to have to post a calender in my scraproom so I can keep up with everything.
I also completed a card for the #5 challenge at Scrap Friendzy - create an I love you card with an edge.



So now I'm off to bed... I'm super tired and hopefully will be able to sleep in just a little.

{let's see...}

What's going on...

I'm staying up too late and getting up too early. So tonight my goal is to be in bed by 11:30 PST. I have a couple of things to share... it rained again here in Sunny South Florida (imagine that) so I couldn't get any good pictures. Also I am still working on my Scrapcakes kit (it is just so packed with goodies) I have completed 2 layouts, 2 cards. Here are the 2 cards I made with the Making Memories Noteworthy paper.

I also finished a mini album using the kit, however I can only post the cover page since the rest of the photos didn't come out. The mini album uses the Wild Woodland Tinkering Ink Papers and I still have another line of papers that I haven't even started on yet!!

Go grab one of these kits before they are gone.

Two more things... first don't forget about the DT challenges over at Memorable Seasons. There is still plenty of time to get them completed. The new challenges will be posted on the 15th.

Finally, my poor friend Jemma is in Panama and her hotel has bugs!! Poor Jemma. She is such a sweetheart I hope that this part if her trip is over very soon. Bugs - Yuck!

Alright I have exactly 8 minutes until bedtime - Good night.

{i'm here, i'm here}

I have just been super busy getting my scrap on. I should have some goodies to share with you tomorrow. One, because I am still working on a couple of things and two, because I wasn't able to get any pictures today due to the rain (for the third day in a row).
I can say this... if you want an awesome kit for June go get the Scrapcakes kit when it is released tomorrow. I was so surprised when I get my kit this weekend. It was full of super cute stuff. There are at least three different lines to work with and plenty of extras.
Okay so I'm going to get back to work so I can get to bed before 2 am. Hope you are enjoying my music. I love the song from One Republic!!!

{i'm sick}

and I can't stand it!!
I am no doctor but I guess I have a summer cold. I used to never get sick but I suppose that as I get older things like that change although one of my best friends told me it's because I haven't been getting enough rest.
So with that and all the unpacking I have yet to sit down and create anything. It's very frustrating because there are so many great challenges out in blog world right now. I received my June kit for Scrapcakes today and it is sooo yummy! I was so amazed with how much stuff there was. I plan to have a little sneak peek for you in a couple of days.
Also, if you are looking for some fun challenges to work on, stop by Memorable Seasons and check out the DT challenges and the Summer Mini Album challenge.

{in the house}

Tonight will be the second night in our new house and stuff is everywhere!!! I don't really understand why the movers couldn't unpack our stuff. Instead there are boxes all over the place and I don't feel like unpacking them. I haven't had a chance to scrap because my scraproom is full of boxes..

This is the view form the door...and believe it our not all of those boxes (except for the two right in the front) are scrapbook supplies. I really need to get the dishes and kitchen stuff unpacked first, however I hope to get this room done by Sunday. Luckily I have some supplies that aren't packed so I can get in a little scrap time starting tomorrow night.

Alright I'm off to bed so I can get up nice and early.

BTW... if you love making cards. Stop by ScrapFriendzy this month and check out the card challenges that they are posting!!!

{my good news}

I am so excited!!!.. I made the Design Team for Scrapcakes Monthly kit club. I wanted to share the layouts I did using some Pink Paislee which is available in the Scrapcakes May Kit. Maria still has May Kits available if you would like to order one. I have to admit that the second layout is my favorite layout to date. I just love how it turned out.

The Pink Paislee paper is super fun to work with, I still have a couple of layouts that I want to complete with it. Oh and I can't wait to post some "sneaky peeks" of the June Kit.

**************************************************

On a not so good note... we weren't able to sleep in the new house tonight because the moving company could not deliver our furniture because they had a few people call in sick. Hopefully we will be sleeping there tomorrow and I can start organizing my new scraproom.

Cornelius and I did enjoy a nice dinner at Chili's this evening...courtesy of the moving company, it was the least they could do!

{tomorrow I start my job}

I have to make this post quick. I have to go to bed because tomorrow it's back to work after a whole month off. I'm very excited about this job, I think it will be great.

I wanted to go ahead and share the sketch I did for my June Challenge at Memorable Seasons.. again come on over and play with us. I first wanted to say Thank you to my very good friend Jemma... she told me this could be done in Word and she was right. Thanks Jemma girl!!

And please no laughing at my hand drawn flowers. I didn't realize it was so hard to draw with the mouse... and this was the best I could do for my forst time. LOL!

Here is the layout I completed based on the sketch. Please feel free to give it a go. It's a super easy sketch so you can really use your own style.

I do still have some other news to share however it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!
