Busy Bee!

I have had so much going on that I really haven't been able to do a "real" post so I have alot to share.

Let's start with last weekend:

I went down to moms so we could finish her recipe cards that we did for a swap that Simone hosted. Mom wasn't there when I got there so I saw dad working on mom's house. I decided being the carpenter I am (chuckle) I would help him. (for those of you who don't know mom and dad are rebuilding their house do to Hurricane Katrina. The house took on 8 feet of water) So anyway, We put up the boards to the right side of the house. Then of course we had to knock off so we could go watch the football game.

Good lord ms. claude I cannot be wearing that shirt anymore...it is sooo not flattering...(GASP!)

okay moving on: Mason decided he thought that Rhonda (my Honda) needed to be a Hummer so he took it upon himself to take the stickers off of this

and put them on the side of Rhonda


complete with the turn signal and all....needless to say I was some kinda mad when i saw those stuck to my brand new car. It took me a day to notice it.

This is just some pics of us last weekend when we went out.

This is my Drew...he is one of my best buds.

and this is my Mike...he has been my best friend for 25 years and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

and of course this is my "boo boo". He is also my best friend.
Good grief I am looking a hot mess! Oh well drink another you start to look real good!!
And now for the good stuff: This is why I have not been blogging that much. I have been to busy with creating.

This is a becky fleck sketch for January. I just loved this sketch and new I had to do it. The room underneat the photo is for my journaling. I haven't been able to quite sum up 25 years of friendship in that little bitty space.

This is my cover for my CHA book I am doing about my trip to Chicago. I decided I would try a new technique with the Heat and stick and glitter. Now normally I would try and stay away from glitter because of the big mess it makes but I decided I would give it a whirl and can you say ADDICTED. I love it!
Next up is 2 pages I did to put in it. One is of my plane tickets and the other is of my blog buds I finally got to meet live and in person.

I still have alot left to do in that book such as when Simone took us to the white trash karaoke bar. That was soooooo much fun. Oh the sights we saw and the songs that were sang was way to hysterical.
This is a card using the bleaching technique that is also quite addicting.

I used the stamp set that Stampin Up sent all the demonstrators for Christmas. It is NOT yet available until Spring. I love this set.



This is coasters I have been collecting from Chili's and Outback and any other place that might have them within arms reach. I am not finished with it but almost.

Well now that I have made this post so freaking long I am going to bed!

Thanks Sarah

WOW! I received my package from the fabulous Sarah. I won a Rak from her along with the other Sarah and man i tell ya....i am one lucky chick because that is some shit i would have hung on to girl...what were you thinking? I am a scrap whore though....I might use it but by damn i am not giving it away. In this case I am glad girl did...I will load the layouts as I use the products....I haven't had a chance to take a pic yet...hell i am just getting around to thanking you but rest assured...pics will be coming so everyone can be envious over the stuff...

Thanks again girlfriend!

G

Awesome letters!

Deb has some great letters that she makes and sells. The prices are fabulous and I can wait to get my letters in the mail. I ordered the Palentino because I want to alter them. Now i Really really like the Ravie but I thought altering them would take away from the great font and look too well...ya know...just there instead of WOW! So when I get them and I am done embellishing them for a certain someone, who shall remain nameless for now, I will post. Goody goody gumdrops I am excited.

Everyone should head on over to her site and check out the fabulousness that is taking place.

Thanks Deb...you rock!!

Trendy Tuesday : Routines

Well I really had to think about this one and then I had to ask my girl for some help because I really don't analyze myself like i prolly should.

This is for Trendy Tuesday

Routines:

1. I have to stop at Fayrd's in the a.m. to get my pork chop biscuit

2. When I walk in the door from a long day of work I have to get some tea and go sit on my back porch and smoke a cigarette or 2 maybe three to unwind.

3. I have to take the same route to work everyday otherwise I get all flustered because my car is usually on auto pilot and if I change the route I will end up lord knows where.

4. Pretty much my whole life is a routine. When you have kids that is just what to expect. The same day in and day out.

5. I bite my nails all the time. This is a whole post in itself. I don't know why i do it. Lots of people say it's and oral fixation or it's a nervous habit and yada yada yada but truly I do it just because. Not only do I bite my nails to the quick but i chew and pull and bite and tear the skin around it. Real attractive huh? But i don't care. Now get this...when I have on fake nails I don't EVER put them in my mouth, pick at them or even think about biting them. Weird huh? Oh well. Then anil person I go to says I have the 2nd worse nails and fingers she has ever seen. Now that I have braces I can't chew my nails like i want so i clip or pick them until i get it just how i want it. And to boot just when i figure out how to chew them with braces it is time for me to have my wires and rubber bands changed and it throws my bite off again....a vicious cycle i tell...vicous!!

So how about you? What's some of your routines?

WOOO FREAKING HOOOOO!!!

okay so my beloved Colts DID IT! I knew good ole payton wouldn't let me down. I was damn near about to come out my skin. That was a good game and I am soooo stinking happy the patriots lost. Can you still see me smiling from ear to ear.

Oh man am i one happy bitch.....


HELL YEAH BABY!! Super bowl Party at my house... WOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!

Recipe Swap Complete!

14 of them boogers COMPLETED!! Can I get a Hell Yeah?

Okay first I would like to say I HATE 6X6...it sucks....big time...but this was a fun challenge though. I surely had to think "small" lol



These took me from 11:00 until 4:30 to complete all 14 of them. Had some mishaps in between such as the needle in my sewing maching flying out! That was fun!

And I managed to get 2 other layouts complete as well. I guess I can say I have officially started the Disney Book!

left side

right side
This was our lunch with Cinderella.
Sorry for the bad scan. The star that Melana received (along with a wand)is very thick so therefor that part of the layout was raised more than the rest.

GO COLTS!!!

Okay so the Colts was more important than getting my layout uploading on time. Maybe Next Tuesday...lol Now if they can hang on to go to the Super Bowl this chick here will be one happy mofo....Payton Manning is the bomb!!!!



On the other hand I have to have a love for the Saints too. My paw paw was the biggest Saints fan I knew. He loved them so much. He would cuss the TV..hopp and holla at them everytime they lost and I remember as a young girl he would always say.."that's ok maybe next year" next year would roll around and then they would screw up again. It was a vicous cycle. But now, they are kickin ass and I know he is smiling down on them. It is however going to be hard if the Colts and the Saints go head to head in the Super Bowl. What is a girl to do then? I told mom I guess I could wear a saints shirt and a Colts hat..her response was don't go out in public like that you will get your ass kicked...she's right. I guess we will see what happens next week. I am on pins and needles.

At least the Colts and saints have something in common...Payton is from New Orleans!!
