{isn't this sad?}

At this point I am averaging 2 posts a week. The even sadder thing is that in those two posts I have absolutely nothing interesting to say. It wouldn't be so bad if I at least had a layout or a card to share, but I can't even offer that.
I've been doing really good getting my scraproom clean and organized and I just picked up Caitlyn's 9 month pictures on Tuesday, so of course I have to scrap some of those. So I would say that come Saturday I should be in full scrap mode... although I did plan on taking my little princess to the park so she could swing and slide. Mommy is getting tired and sore from holding her while I slide down the carpeted stairs. I must say that hearing her laugh makes it worth it.
Anywho... I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!!!

BTW... check out this new challenge site, they are looking for designers!

{why in the...}

heck is it so hard for me to remember to do my 12 of 12 every month? I always seem to remember the day after and we all know it's not called 13 of 13 so that doesn't help.

Quick update....

-had league on Friday - actually bowled okay.

- super sad about this, have been upset all weekend, my prayers go out to her family and friends. (check out her awesome work here)

-went to the crop, got 1 layout and 3 cards done (had the most delicious pork tenderloin EVER)

-watched Redition (love me some Reease Witherspoon) - pretty good movie

-spent today napping and playing with Caitlyn.

-washing clothes before I go to bed.

Maybe I'll do a 15 of 15 tomorrow. :o)
Hope eveyone had a great weekend and has a wonderful week!!

Don't forget to enjoy every moment - time is life. It's the only thing that you can never get back - when it goes, it's irrevocably gone. (Valley of the Dolls)

{100th post}

Okay i have been putting this post off for some time becuase I wanted it to be interesting since it is my 100th post... well I realized that if I was waiting on something interesting to happen in my life I would be waiting for awhile.
So here it is post 100. I do have a couple of interesting scrap things to share. First I have been hopping around the internet and found some really fun challenge blogs, I put them over there on the right side ----> There is a new mini book challenge blog (because we all have un-started mini albums) and there is a new card challenge blog coming. The one I found most interesting though is the word.picture blog. Every month they basically given you written directions (guidelines) on how to create a layout. The catch is you use the instructions however you interpret them. This way almost every layout will turn out different. I'm sure I don't do it justice, so go check it out yourself.
Alright my last bit of news.......wait for it.......
Yes, you guessed it, I'm going to the Gulf Harbour crop this Saturday (but only for a few hours) this will be my first time leaving Caitlyn alone with her daddy, but I really needed some "me" time, plus this will give me a chance to make some scrappy friends. There is a delicious brunch planned and some really neat make and takes so I'm pretty excited. I have a list of things I want to work one, but we will see what I actually get done.
Alright, I'm off to do some reading... my book is still in it's slow stage but I'm hoping things will pick up soon. Have a fabulous Tuesday all!!!

{it's already September!}

I'm still here don't worry. However my life has been so uneventful over the past week or so that I honestly have nothing to scrap about. Before you ask... no I'm not completely caught up on all my scrapping, there is plenty of stuff for me to scrap about. I guess the better statement would have been I don't feel like scrapping.
I went and purchased a couple of things to hopefully get me in the mood. My friend Sasha (who by the way is a scrappin' genius and it always keepin' it real) said that the new October Afternoon was the bomb so I went and bought... it's still in the bag!! Then I decided to order one of the Noel kits that Sasha had been going on about on her blog... she even did a video. Yes, you guessed it... it was sold out.
So I've spent a few hours looking for a new kit to make me go..."I have to have it" because I thought it would get me in the mood... didn't happen. Man. I should have ordered that kit the first time I looked at it!!!
Which brings me to my final "get in the mood" option which was offered to me by my super great blogger friend Jemma - Clean up your scrap space!!!
This however I will have to put off until tomorrow. :o)
I did go to Barnes and Noble's the other day and somehow walked out with this

Not really sure why... it was really big in the 60's and I figured I hadn't read a book in... FOREVER so why not?
So far so good...
Well I am going to do a little organizing before I settle into my book so I'm off. Hope everyone is having a great week.
