Glad it's over

Christmas this year was real good. I am glad my kid's are at the age where they can really get into it and enjoy it. I am, however, glad it's over until next year. I will post later this week tons of pics. Until then I hope everyone got what they wasnted from Santa!!

Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all of you and Happy New Year if I don't check on everyone before then... ( I am sure i will)

I have to go to bed now...the Santa tracker says he is in Florida....I want him to stop and leave me presents...

On a roll....

While I was watching the Colts spank Cinncinati's ass Monday night (which made me very happy by the way....Go PEYTON!!) I whipped these out. These are my Gift Certificate holders for my Stampin' UP! Gift certificates. I thought they turned out pretty darn cute. I am having a blast with the different inks and markers...the markers are my ABSOLUTE favorite....I will definitly break down and buy the whammy jammy marker set in January for Sell-A-Bration time. Woot Woot.....




Sell-a-bration begins January 1 to february 28th and my goal is to get all of the stamps because I like them all...well except for 1 or 2.....I have really enjoyed being a demonstrator thanks to my fabulous Upline Simone. She is teaching me all sorts of stuff through email and the phone and the internet....now we just need to get a web cam....hey that's something i could have asked for for christmas. Darn it...too late now....oh well maybe after the new year.

Movin' them out!

I have been a busy little bee trying to use up old supplies so I can make room for more... I am doing a album for Mason and Melana's Ya-Ya who lives in Kansas and she all but cuss me out because she hasn't received any pages in forever for her album..(forever as in prolly last year) Deep sigh! So i've been busy throwing some together to get her off my back...(snicker).

Mason's Book:



Left side

Right side...
These 2 layouts came from an idean in the new Stampin Success publication...I just loved it and had to reproduce it with some modification of course

Melana's Book:




I am going to send them off after Christmas because I want to include some Christmas 06 layouts for her.
My 2007 goal is to scrap at least 6 layouts a month. I think I can do it. We'll see. I don't think 6 is an unreasonable number... do you?

Hmmm maybe my first 6 for January should be all 4 of Mason's birthday's and both of Melana's...I would be might quota....isn't that ashame? I am not one of these people who scrap in order...if that was the case I wouldn't have anything done...I have to scrap which ever pic screams scrap me....

Who scraps like me and who scraps in order? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Bah Humbug!!

ETA: the fabulous Simone has come through for me once again. She called her Lowe's 3 blocks from her and voila....they have it...she is shipping it overnight (because we all know that mail from Chicago to MS...well ..let's just say it blows...) can't take any chances...


Thank you thank you to Michelle for being on the manhunt with me all the way in FL. You girls rock!!

I've said it before and i am going to say it again...BAH HUMBUG....this year I just cannot get in the spirit of Christmas. Normally, I am beside myself this time a year. I go all out decorating inside and out. I am lucky to have a tree up this year. My shopping is done but only by the grace of god. Mason has only asked for 2 things a hummer and a tool set he saw at lowe's...well of course procrastinating I missed the boat. I have called every Lowe's within a 100 mile radius with no such luck. I knew I should have got it when he saw it before thanksgiving. If he would be a child that ask's for everything he see's I wouldn't worry about it that much. All he has kept telling me and Santa was he wanted a Hummer and a tool set. Now I feel like shit. I went to Lowe's dot come and no such luck...I went to Toy's R Us and found the Home Depot one which is fine but of course it's not available online and we don't have a toy's r us...after Hurrican Katrina it was destroyed and they didn't come back....they got the hell out of dodge like so many other stores....

What's a girl to do? I am spinning my wheels trying to figure out what kind of magic trick I can pull out of my ass...

FRUSTRATED!!

I know many of you have been trying to comment but can't....i know this because I have visited your blogs and you are saying so but guess what.... BETA SUCKS ASS and now i cannot comment on your's either...

Shannon: Melana didn't write her name my mom helped her...she can only write i's and t's...lol

Renee: You tell Emma she looked fabu on her birthday and hope she had a swell time... I remember mason wanting to "wide" the carousel but then screamed to get off also...fun times!

Flounder: LMAO at your post....

Scott: your family is in my prayers

After the holiday's I am ditching blogger and moving to typepad and I don't give a rat's ass if I have to pay for it....I AM OVER THIS BULLSHIT...BLOGGER SUCKS!!!

Someone send me the instructions on how to make the switch without losing everything...Thanks!!

Holiday Mail Love!!

When O'Neil and I first got together I was told I could never check the mail....He loves checking the mail...why I don't know but he does... This is things he has done in the past.

Chased the mailman around town when he was on duty to see if he had mail.
Made the comment that the mailman should leave a note in the mailbox when he doesn't get mail so at least he knows that he came but we didn't have anything

Now this is just a few but now he doesn't get to check the mail because he passed the "love of mail" onto Mason..so today we get home and Mason gets the mail and brings it in. He likes to open the mail to so I normally let him open the junk mail. Since it's the holiday's I let him open the christmas cards. I was opening the other mail and I hear Melana scream that one is mine...I did that one...I looked and the kids had made me a Christmas card and mailed to me... (with the help of their Honey of course..Honey is my mom) they were so excited to see both of their cards come in the mail they couldn't stand themselves...of course I was just as excited because I think that is FABULOUS!!! Mason even addressed his own envelope...

Here is my babies work of art...the grand masterpiece of scrappin....and they did it all by themselves.... this just makes my heart so happy...

Finally a Real update...

although it's not much at least I have something. My life has been in fast motion and I am patiently waiting for it to slow down. Whoever said that the winter is slow is WRONG.

First order of business:

Sunday we had a birthday party to attend and on our way into Diamondhead we stopped to get a loaf of bread from the store to feed the geese. Melana wasn't to keen on it but Mason sure was....as Mason and O'Neil was feeding them O'Neil decided he would aquat down to get them to come eat the bread out of his hands...well...low and behold I hear "What is that behind me"...well my friends it was one of the geese who apparently decided O'Neil's ass looked good so he would peck at it...lmao...I never could get a awesome shot of it but managed to get this one


and a few more I will share with you



Second order of business is a huge shoutout to the fantabulous Josie who made me the awesome holiday planner so I can stay organized with the wish list for everyone else and of course for myself...complete with pockets for receipt holding...isn't that great...now these pics I took do NOT by any means do it justice...it is so stinking cute in person

front cover



the in between

and the back cover....
I just love it...and so does everyone else I have shown it to...thanks girl...YOU ROCK!! I just love mail love...

Nest on the agenda is 2 of the 4 pages I completed last night...Can you believe it...4 pages in one night...still shocked...now granted 2 of them were 8x8 but shhh we won't tell anybody..

for Mason's book

for Melana's book

I am trying to use up old supplies so I can replenish with new one's. Maybe Santa Claus will get me a gift certificate to the scrap store...

This is a card that Simone sent me using the great products that has just been released from the Winter Mini catalog. Isn't this card wonderful..she is sooo freaking talented...and to boot...the pinwheel slides back and forth...I just love it....

Note: my scanner was acting crazy so it didn't scan that well....

and last but not least i need your help....
I am sick of looking at the profile pic that is up now and since I changed my hair color...i decided it was time for a new one...Which one do you like the best.

Stay warm and I hope the next post will be about my tree FINALLY out of the attic and in my house up and decorated....(deep sigh!)

Update coming soon

I promise.... I have been so busy doing nothing....Does that ever happen to anyone else? I had good intentions on puttin up my tree but that was about as far as it got....just an intention...a thought...i should be ashamed...

I have received some mail love from Josie. She sent me one of her fabulous holiday planners. I would love to take a pic of it but it is at work...I was so stinkin excited I brought it to work to show the girls and on Friday I was rushing to get out of there I went off and left it sitting right on my desk along with my donuts....grrrrr!!! I will post a pic of that tomorrow along with my scrap pages I have managed to complete.. YAY me!!

I took a new photo avatar because I am sure sick of seeing that one I have now...I have to get those unloaded and cropped and all that noise and tonight is just not the night to do it.... I am tired and it is late...so on that note...

peace out!!

Help me please....

So does anyone know how to go back to the old blogger before the beta....
I hate beta....HATE IT!!!! It's a pain in my ass and very annoying...I knew i should have not given in to temptation....grrrrrrr!!!!

Ever since I have switched if you have word verification on you can forget it...i can't see it know matter what i do...so therefore i cannot comment...(deep sigh)
that's just part of it...trust me there is more....

So if anyone knows how I can go back please let me know....
