{quick update}

I have been MIA again however this time I have a good reason. WE ARE MOVING AGAIN!!!!
Hubby's company is relocating us to ATLANTA! and I am NOT happy. Yes, I realize that I don't like it here but I have a bad feeling about Atlanta. The catch is they wanted us moved in two weeks... yes I said two weeks!!
So I'm sure anyone could understand why I have been busy. I haven't had time to scrap or do anything becuase my brain is going 60 miles a minute. Luckily we weren't even finished unpacking from the last move so there's not as much to do. I don't have any of the details just yet but I will fill you in as I get them.
I have completed a couple of layouts, but taking pictures of them is a different story. Hopeful I will get back on track soon. Hope everyone is having a great week.

{scrap free weekend}

I promise I had every intention of getting some scrapping done this weekend, but as you can tell, that didn't happen. First, I couldn't find any pictures to scrap. Then the pictures that I did want to scrap (which I ordered online from CVS) turned out like crap. I didn't look at them when I picked them up and when I finally did open the package I was thinking "seriously I paid for this?" Anyway, I went back to CVS and the cashier/photo lady printed them again for me and they turned out much better.
Question to self - Why in the hell won't you plug in the photo printer setting next to your desk and print your own pictures?
Well between bad picture and trying to keep the "Princess" busy, I haven't had time to sit down and do anything. As a matter of fact, it's currently 10:15pm and she is STILL up!!! She is tearing up my scraproom and ripping all of the old scrapping magazines!!
At least we had a chance to go out and play yesterday. I wanted to give her a chance to really practice on her walking and she seemed to have fun in the process so all in all it was a good weekend.


On a scrappy note. I found yet another kit club (A kiss on the chic) and it looks like it might be pretty darn sweet. If you get a chance stop by the blog and see what the DT did with the October kit. Those are some pretty talented ladies. My favorite is the felt book.
Okay everyone have a great Monday!!!

{okay, okay}

I hate to put this out there and then turn around and go AWOL again, but I think I might be back. I have been spending all my free time browsing the net looking for some inspiration something to get me going. I finally decided to try the September challenge over at word.picture
and it was just what I needed. (I will get a picture as soon as I can).
Let's see it's October 1st and I can't believe how fast the year has gone by. I feel like every time I turn around another week has passed by. WOW!
There are some really interesting things going on this month. There is a new kit club that started today called Kraft Girls kits. The October kit has the new Pink Paislee and looks pretty yummy. Also my dear friend Jemma has started a sketch site (where I will totally be hanging out) called Rough Draft. She and Zoe will be posting sketches for you to work on so stop by and check it out.
Lastly, I skipped on my October kit from Mosh Posh. Although it is an awesome kit, I just don't think I will use it. This means that I have a "little" extra money ( I do mean little because Kristen's kit are so well priced) to use on another kit. Anyone have any suggestions? And before you ask - yes, I would get the Kraft Girl kit, but I just got Pink Paislee paper in my Mosh Posh kit last month so I am looking for something different.
On a non-scrapping note. My mom is coming to Florida in a couple of weeks so I'm going to pack Caitlyn up and make the 2 hour trip to go see her, or rather to let her see Caitlyn (no one wants to see me anymore).
Oh and back to scrapping... has anyone seen the new sheer paper from KI Memories? I got some at my LSS and Yum-O. Also the new "Daily Grind" line from Fancy Pants!!! WOW. I am working on a total scraplift with it right now that I should be able to show this weekend.
Okay have a fabulous Thursday.
*A little secret: I like to call it Surprise Thursday because something unexpected always seems to happen (sometimes good, sometimes bad) but there always seems to be a surprise. Can't wait to see what it will be tomorrow.
