Better Living Through Scrapbooking

Check them out!!!  They just went over 100 fans and they are giving away an awesome SEI package!!!!

Where does the time go?

My plan was to post more on my blog, but is seems as if I never have the time.  Where do all of you bloggers find time to get here and post?  I need to know!!!!   I have things that I would love to talk about on here, but then forget about them, why?  Because I got to busy to post them!  And to think I don't work outside of the home, I should have all kinds of time....imagine what it would be like if I did work!  I know how it would be, I would be more organized and make better use of my time.  Oh well so I am not a list maker or an organizer so I guess I will remain a discombobulated (OMG I used a big word) person for the rest of my menopausal, CRS (can't remember shit) life, lol....but it is my life and honestly I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Well, my husband Wayne has now lost 75+ pounds!!!! YAY!  I am so very proud of him, he works hard at even though he says he cheated at it.  He had the Lap-Band surgery back in October of 2009 and it has done wonders for him!  I exercises every single day and I have joined him on that.  I am making a little bit of progress.  Six weeks ago I was in a size 14 and now I am in a 12 and I can get those 9/10's on and buttoned, but I do like to breathe, so I guess I am not quite ready for those, YET!  The weight is finally starting to come off, it is taking it's time because I am building lots of muscle.  My legs have never looked this damn good!  Those million dollar legs that some of the actresses have, have nothing on mine...well except maybe another foot in height, lol...

O.K. let me get to this layout that I have done.  This is for a color challenge over at The Mosy Scrapper.  I love being on their design team!  We are going to have a live chat on this Wednesday evening and we are going to have a ball!  You should hurry up and head on over there and join, the girls there are great and there is a ton of inspiration!  Just click on the link above!

O.K. for this challenge I found a beautiful picture of my grand-daughter Gianna (wait she can't take a bad picture).  I hope that you like and leave me some love, I love hearing from everyone!

So that's it for now and I promise to get better at posting more often!

As Jake would say,
Here's winkin' at ya,

Busy, busy, busy....

I cannot believe that July is already here!  June was such a busy month....hopefully I can slow down and breathe a little bit in the near future.  I am way behind on everything that needs to be done.


I did finish a design team creation for The Mosy Scrapper.  The sponsor for July was My Little Bit of Whimsy.  Stephanie Hart is the owner of My Little Bit of Whimsy and her items of Polymer clay buttons, embellishments and pins are so adorable.  Head on over to her site and see all of the cute stuff that she has, make sure you stop by the blog and gallery too!  I still need to complete a couple of more projects, but I wanted to get at least one posted.  I hope that you like!

Well, so as Jake would say, "Here's winkin' at ya"  And remember to have a safe and wonderfully fun 4th of July.  Also thank a veteran today!

The Mosy Scrapper

Last month I was asked to be on the design team for The Mosy Scrapper the girls there are wonderful!  You need run on over there and join as soon as possible!  The talent is amazing as well :o)  


So far I have completed to items from this months sponsor, The Little Black Dress kit club.  I am having fun working with all of the goodies and hope to get more created today!  So anyway here is what I have created so far:

This is going to be the cover for a journal in the future...

This is, of course, of Ariel.  I named this "Don't Blink"  because I blinked and she grew up.  You know all the time that our children are growing up, we are preparing them for when they get older, graduation, jobs, marriage, parenthood...but you know what I realized?  No one prepares us Moms for when our children do grow up and sprout their wings and want to fly.  For graduation we gave Ariel the gift of a cruise, for a job well done in school, making the A B honor roll and just being a great kid, teenager, person!  She has been gone for a little over week now and I am a total basket case.  I know that she is probably having the time of her life, but mom isn't.  Mom is and wasn't prepared for these feelings!  So to all you mom's out there, prepare yourselves as you prepare your children.  It will be the hardest thing you do, to let them grow up and sprout wings, but remember....Don't Blink...

TAKE FLIGHT!!!!

Over to Anthologies By Me and grab your June kit before they are alllllll gone!  I enjoyed working with the kit this past week and wish I would have had more time to complete more.  You really need to take a look at the gallery, the ladies there did a wonderful job on their design and they are mouth watering, jaw-dropping gorgeous!  Do you want to know something even more exciting?  We had a guest designer this month as well.... Janet Hopkins from House of 3! 


O.K. I won't keep you in suspense any longer...here are my designs...

I am hoping to get a couple of more layouts done this week with this awesome kit!!!

So head on over and get your's before they are all gone!
