wow...long time NO post! lol

it's just been a busy time with kiddos out of school and still struggling to stay above water with our finances (darn, darn, darn economy!).  we are not giving up yet...hubby has worked a few runs with the railroad lately so there is still HOPE! ;)

i don't have much to share but maybe a layout and some etsy goods that i've put in shop recently.

 

over at Scrapperie the dt are inspiring everyone daily with different prompts or challenges.  i have the friday slot with sharing a technique and this above layout is from last week showcasing a mosaic tecnique that is SUPER easy and fun!  head over to join in and be INSPIRED!

Monthly cRoP @ Scrapperie!!!

Come join us at Scrapperie this weekend as we celebrate with our Spring Into Summer Crop!

Starting at noon on Thursday, May 14th, we'll have challenges, games and some other fun surprises to keep you scrapping all weekend long. The majority of the challenges will be listed Thursday and Friday, but all crop challenges won't be due until Monday night at midnight- so you'll have plenty of time to finish them.

wow, time flies...

with the weather changing i've been away from my computer and scrapping supplies.   i've actually had a few scrap gatherings at my house recently and i am loving it!  i managed to get one uploaded today...

 

   

 

also, i didn't get a chance to brag here on my NEWEST nephew, Jack, whom was born on March 14th.  i loved playing with this photo...

before i go...over at Scrapperie they offer a blog prompt daily and today they suggested blogging about 10 random things about me so here goes...

1.  at 35 my grey hair is really starting to show. :(

2. i love my hubby very much but with his lay off going on two months i'm going to pull the rest of my hair out! lol

3.  i am excited as both of my boys will be playing soccer soon...my youngest is 4 and this is his first season!

4.   i can't stay consecutive with excercising when i have my equipment right infront of me daily. :(

5.  i wish i had more creative motivation lately it's been missing.

6.  my son wants to go to the movies with his "girl friend" and i'm nevous about it!

7.  i've been narrowing down car choices and i realize i do NOT like blue, green, silver or goldish color vehicles! lol

8.  i am trying to figure out a useful way to organize my bathroom cabinet so it's totally functionable...i might take pics and get suggestions soon.

9.  my scrap desk has about a dozen NON-scrappy things on it at this moment.

10.  i am going to bake banana bread this evening.

 

have a great day! :)

Valentine's Day and Etsy

My Valentine's Day was wonderfully relaxing!  Fun breakfast with the family, shared valentine treats with the kiddos...sent them off to grandparents, great steak dinner with hubby, funny movie (Mall Cop), foot massage (hubby gives the best-est ones, teehee), chit chat and snuggling.  I got the best surprise this morning when I found that hubby left me the sweetest, most heartfelt Anniversary note on our bathroom mirror...it made me cry....I love him! :) 

isn't this cute???  i was inspired as my little guy just turned 4 recently.  visit my etsy shop (link to right) and you can order one of these cuties with 1, 2, 3, or 4 candles with it! :)

***off to scrap and catch up on challenges over at Scrapperie!
