The proof is in the MUD!

Well here is a quick rundown for all the new readers I have since i started blogging.
My hubby, O'Neil, got a jeep for...well..nothing in particular..just because(i Bought it, aww that is sweet?) well i wanted to go mud riding and he said ...are you F*in crazy? I am not taking my jeep in the mud. he loves this thing. He has spent and ungodly amount of money on his beloved jeep to make it look "cool". he has a winch, he has the lights, he has this, he has big tires, he has that...so i thought ok we are going to have fun this summer...WRONG! It has been 2 years and all I here is no..no..no...no... so i stopped asking. I did have to ask him though why in the world would he get a winch on the front if he wasn't going to take it off road...his answer....

drum roll please.....

well because if people get stuck and I CAN GET THEM FROM THE PAVEMENT i can pull them out...

i just shake my head and say oh ok..makes perfectly good sense to me (eyes rolling)

then he tells me he needs a thing-a ma-bob..you can read that post here. FOR WHAT? It's not like you are climbing rocks and mountains in that thing...the only thing his "rock climber" (thats what his tag says) climbs is the pebbels he runs over on the skreet!

So anyways folks...back to the story....he pulls the jeep out the garage and washes it and pulls it back in. IT'S NOT DIRTY!! Now that you have the jist of it all you can appreciate the fact I finally got to take it in the MUD.. WOOT WOOT!! I am anxious to do it again that was a blast and the kids were saying let's do it again daddy...he thought we liked it to much so i bet we don't get to do it again for awhile.

Here are the pics to prove it.





Yeah baby yeah!! The jeep is no longer a virgin....

I belong in the 50's

Must be because I {heart} Lucille Ball so much and Marilyn Monroe...
I could watch lucy re-runs forever. She ROCKS!!

You Belong in 1955

You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!

What Year Do You Belong In?

I love the 80's

I know that comes to no shock because I have said it a bajillion times.
80's music is da bomb so when i ran across this at my 2nd favorite blog celebritysmack i knew i had to go and do it and boy could i get down and boogie!!
Girl here was rocking the stage...

Go check it out here

Enjoy!

I will be back later tonight or tomorrow with my weekend update and a lot more scrappin I have accomplished. Lord please don't take the mojo from me...please i beg you!!

Oh yeah and guess what...{gasp!} O'neil took the jeep in the mud....YES HE DID and i have pics to prove it. More ont hat later

Peace Out

Still at it....

I guess I should say the mojo is still flowing and I sure hope it stays for a while. I have alot to get done. This is another layout using the BG LilyKate collection along with matching ribbon for Noel's online store. This has been a fun collection to play with. This particular layout speaks for itself. You will remember this picture from a few post back or heck maybe even last post. I don't know I can't keep up.


Good Lord!

this is a card I made using products as well from Noel's store.

I had to have that 7 gypsies variety pack and have yet to do something with it until now. Mary Ann this card is coming to you babe. I made it with you in mind along with this one

I know you like that vintage look so I thought this stamp set be a perfect fit for you. Thanks Elizabeth for trusting me with it ;)
Well I am off to work on another layout for Noel's store. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Pizza, Scrappin and trophies

Tuesday was Mason last day with the Smart Start program. He learned all the fundamentals of baseball and he had a blast. He missed the cutoff by 10 days to play t-ball because you had to be 5 by May 1 and his b-day is the 10th. Darn It!
He had his pizza party and received his hat and his trophy. Melana participated as well but we all know how that went down when it was time to get her trophy. Yeah ! Mason had to go up and get it for her because she was not moving. Then he brings it back to her and after everybody leaves I want to get pics of them...Mason...my little sweet, loves to be in front of the camera.....boy

oh and then there is Melana

Nuff' said!
Elizabeth and I were talking and she said it is scary how much her and Melana are alike. Ugh Ya think. Like I don't know this. We swear we gave birth to each other. Bella is just like me and Lana is just like her. Good lord!
I have 2 more cards complete for Noel's Store.

For this one I used the boho chic card set by We R memory Keepers and a few rub ons by MM.

this is another boho chic set with the boho chic goodies out the goodie box and the coordinating ribbon. MM rub ons

Now I will move on to the rest of the layouts that I need to produce. I am going to do one for my All About Me album next about my love of toe socks. Stop laughing! I love em. They are oh so cozy and warm.

Who else is with me on the toe socks?

I'm a flunky

Well me and my big ideas thought it would be cool to do the 50 page no buying challenge over at ScrapJazz. All was going well when I signed up. I was all pumped up and I could do this. After all I have enough supplies and paper to generously give all the members of SJ some goods and still have some left over. Well..... You see..... I did my first layout. I was still pumped up until I went to Noel's store. Yeah it's all over but the crying. I caved. I'm a loser. I gave in to temptation. I bought. Call me a dork.
So i got 1 out of 50 layouts done. I think I broke the record.......but guess what?

I AM THE OWNER OF NEW SUPPLIES BABY! CAN I GET WOOT WOOT?

Doin the jitterbug!

More Design Team layout stuff done for Noel's Store.

these cards were fun to do. Recently I had purchased the Boho chic note card set and the matching ribbon along with the matching goodie box. I just couldn't wait to get it. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to play with it. (Story of my life) BUT, I soon will because I had such a blast making these cards out of the Diner note card set that I will be doing up some more of these to keep on hand or send out to some of my random fab blogging buddies.

HI!

Thanks!

Happy Birthday 2 U!

If you want to know the product used for these cards you can visit here.

My scanner was not working correctly (surely NOT operator error) so I am going to try and replace these photos with ones that I photograph.

Nothing much went on this weekend. I did go out rolling and patrolling with O'Neil on Saturday. That is always a blast. I do have a pic or 2 from a car fire that was fully up in flames to close to a FEMA trailer and it melted the trailer siding. that was pretty cool looking. i will post those later though. They are on my camera still. After we finished keeping the streets safe we decided to unwind a bit since the kids were staying with my mom and went out for a few drinks with some friends. those pics are also on the camera. Other than that nothing else going on in my world.

First Layout Complete

for NoelMignon. This layout features product from Basic Grey's Lily Kate collection. I also used the coordinating ribbons. Down the left side of the paper I used Foof-a-la button in the Happily ever after collection. Those buttons are rocking. I am addicted to those now and I must get a pack in all the collection. I tell ya I am such a scrap junkie. For the "brackets" I used Swirly Whirlie chipboard by Rusty Pickle. (I looove this chipboard) I covered the chipboard with BG paper and used chipboard letters by the paper studio and inked the edges in green galore from Stampin' Up!

This pic was taken by moi when we went to Disney World in October. I am really please the way it came out because I had the family rushing me. Come on mommy! Hurry! Please get movin'! What are you doing? Let's go NOW!!!

Have a good weekend all!

Oh yeah Christy. Most of that list applies to me except the school age one because my kids aren't in school yet but rest assured that will be most likely what they are saying or thinking when they do get into school!!

Top 10 signs your a scrappin addict!

Top 10 Signs of a Scrapbook Addict

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. You’re the only one at a social gathering yelling, “Just one more photo, folks; I don’t have enough for a two-page spread!
2. Blue photo split backs can be found in unusual places–school lunch bags, briefcases, pants pockets, the dog’s water bowl.
3. A regular sandwich is no longer acceptable–it must be cropped or cut with decorative edges.
4. You try to claim your album purchases as a medical expense because it’s such good “therapy”.
5. You buy a new pink swimsuit because it matches the pink photo mounting paper.
6. Your child is the only one in agriculture class who thinks “crop” is to “cut your photos.”
7. You decide to give your child piano lessons so you’ll be able to use the musical instrument stickers that are in the Big Pack.
8. You redecorate your family room to coordinate with your photo album covers.
9. Your three year old wants to know if her coloring book is “archival quality”.
10. You’re in a fender bender and your first thought is, “I wonder what die-cut shape will coordinate with this event?”
