{thank you}

I just want to say "thank you" to all of my internet buddies. I have received numerous emails from people I have never met, asking if I was okay and offering an ear if I needed one. Well to all of you... Thank you very much!!!
I am about 95% sure that I am out of this "funk" I have been in. I am ready to return to my "normal" scrappy self. I don't want you to think that I totally abandoned scrapping during my time of "mojolessness" (even I can't expect anyone to accept that as a word).
I did get my card done for the July My Sketch World sketch however Lucy hasn't posted them yet so I can't post it here yet. I will share soon though. I also used some of my stash - as I was trying to challenge myself, and made a clock for my scrap room. I plan on getting a picture taken tomorrow. I must admit that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Also I had no idea that I had sooo much KI Memories paper in my stash. I'm almost embarrassed.
Okay well little Ms. C is in the bed so Cornelius and I are going to try to watch a movie... hope everyone had a Super Dooper Summer Saturday. I can't take credit for that - it's courtesy of the Disney Channel

{i don't know why}

I am so "down" lately. I guess that my email from last week really threw me off more than I gave it credit for. I haven't scrapped this week... just don't feel like it.

Caitlyn went to bed at 7pm tonight and I just can't bring myself to pick up a piece of pattern paper or photo. I just want to go get in the bed... however I'm not tired!!

Okay well I also realized today that I missed 12 of 12 again this month and that pissed me off.

I guess July is not going to be my month.

On the brighter side I have awesome friends, especially the super talented and wonderfully special Jemma - whom I love BTW. She is awesome and although I have never met her I know I am blessed to have her in my life. She made me feel a whole lot better.

Oh and she also recently mentioned to me that I need more layouts of myself so even though the picture is terrible I did get one done with the July Scrapcakes kit. Enjoy Jemma.

This is basically some KI Memories Bloom and some Luxe rub-ons.

I also got a 4th of July layout done of Caitlyn and Cornelius. The picture again wasn't that great but I like how the layout turned out. Plus I was just happy to get a picture of the two of them.

This one is all Scenic Route. Stickers, buttons, patterned paper and chipboard.

You can get this stuff in the Scenic Route kit at Memorable seasons here. I love all of it, plus I think the price is sweet.

Okay so hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday night and I plan on getting some scrappin' done tomorrow!!

*One more thing... Jemma has a great sketch up on her blog so go give it a try.

{umm..........?}

It's Sunday, which means work tomorrow.

I had to get a new battery for my car today (thank you Florida weather). Other than that I got nothing done today.

I purchased an MP3 player on Friday- no not an iPOD, maybe next time. The sad part about it is that I feel so 'blah" that I don't even feel like putting any songs on it. I'm not sure what is wrong with me.

I do have some layouts to share from the July Scrapcakes kit which is SOLD OUT!! How exciting is that? BTW if you need a little inspiration, we are starting a new contest tomorrow which will run through the end of the month. So be sure to check the message board for details.

I wish I had the energy and the time to start a challenge blog.... I have a ton of ideas, but I'm not sure I could dedicate the necessary time needed. We will see.

Okay off to bed, hopefully some rest will get me back to myself.

{I needed some time}

I didn't fall off the face of the earth, but I will say that I wish I had for about 10 minutes.

Monday evening I received a very disturbing email from someone after they visited my blog. I'm not sure exactly what this person was trying to achieve but I will give them credit for putting a hiccup in my week and throwing me slightly off track, but other than that... it's back to business as usual.

So with that said.. the July kit is up at Scrapcakes and it is so fun. It is jam packed with yummy paper from Luxe Designs, My Mind's Eye and KI Memories. Go grab one while you still can. Oh and also we are having a "Summer Inspiration" Contest starting on Monday so if you have time stop by the forum and play with us.

Now then since it's been basically a week since I last blogged (bad blogger!!!). I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I got a chance to take a ton of pictures and although I haven't been blogging I have been scrapping. I got a chance to use the awesome new Scenic Route Liberty papers which I received in my Memorable Seasons DT kit. Here is a layout I did for one of the July Challenges posted in the MS Forum. (I'm sure you are getting tired of seeing layouts about Caitlyn, but TOO BAD!!) LOL.

{Juno again?}

So I watched Juno again this evening while I was scrapping and even though I have seen it at least 5 times already it still makes me cry. If you haven't seen it please do, it's worth it. I still need to watch Dan in Real Life and No Reservations (which if you recall I purchased back in May). So with all that said I got exactly 1 page done!!!
So I'm getting ready to start another one while I wait for the princess to wake up for some food. And imagine that.... as soon as I finished typing that sentence she was calling. LOL! Okay so now that she is fed... I'm off to bed since I will have to get up early to feed her again. Hope everyone has a safe 4th because I'm sure I won't update tomorrow.
Happy 4th of July!!!!

{countdown to the 4th}

It's almost here... and you know what that means. I get to dress Caitlyn up in Stars and Stripes and take pictures of her to go with my Scenic Route paper that I pick up tomorrow. Oh and of course fireworks, hot dogs, etc. I think I'm more excited about seeing how Caitlyn will react to the fireworks than anything, oh and having a day off of work.

Okay so the card sketch is finally up at My Sketch World so if you have time, please give it a go. Here is the card I made with it. I used all Cosmo Cricket from the June Scrapcakes kit, which is still available if you want to grab one, and wait until you see the July kit... Yum-O.

There are also some new challenges up on the Memorable Seasons message board for July. Here is a layout I did for my challenge. I so love those Cosmo Cricket alphabets!!

I'm starting to ask myself if people are getting tired of seeing Caitlyn on my layouts...

Oh well, she pretty much is my life so that's what I scrap. Alright I'm in the middle of trying to make some magnets out of buttons and eat dinner at the same time. I'm not doing very well right now, plus this is another "I want to get to bed early" night. Hope your Wednesday was wonderful.
