Had to wait a bit for it but it was well worth the wait, the colors are AWESOME and SOOOOO not what I would mix together. You know I'll be using them again! I also made it for so tell me your story blog...you had to journal about 10 things you'd like to accomplish in your lifetime. I have to say DH LOL'd at me...yeah, I know I am very silly at times.
so here, without further ado.

no greater love
hey once again!
I'm home and got something scrappy on.
I made a LO for Creative Therapy, their latest catalyst is to document what your first memory of love is. then I used a sketch from gettinsketchy. I shrinked it down to fit my AAM album.
Okay, so my first memory of real love is as found in my journaling:
as a child every Good Friday the family would go to church to hear preaching on Jesus' last 7 words. My sister and I would cry and mourn over how those people could be so mean and hurt our sweet Jesus. Dad would try & explain how it had to be done. I know my parents love me, but I think the Love that has impacted me the most was Christ's love. He gave up his life for me, someone I can't see or feel. I could just feel how much he loves me.

Grand Finale and other TV schtuff!
If you know me, you know I LOVE So You Think You can Dance!!!!!
Yesterday was the public's last opportunity to vote for their fave dancer. I have to admit, this season I did NOT vote at all....but I am pretty happy with who's been left to be the top 4.
I think it's a nail biter...I honestly do NOT know who's going to win.
who do you think will win?
ok, I have stated how much I hate reality TV...to be clearer...I hate celebrity reality TV...I know that's NOT how they really act at home...I really don't care about them...I just watch the show/TV and go on with my life. I'm not one of those people who HAVE to buy and read all those dumb gossip magazines just to be on top of all the latest news...come on....my life is busy enough as is.
SO one day I happened to be flicking through channels and saw that Tori and Dean had their own show and rolled my eyes. BUT then something happened & I just kept watching....and I hate to admit it...I am now hooked.
OK, I wont stay up to watch it, so I Tivo it....
I took this off their site....LOL.

I just had to do a LO using this week's sketch by Pencil lines! I had a Bea-oooooo-ti-ful subject to scrap, My little Nani-licious. :)

Hi!!!!!!!
well, I have a nice long list of challenges I'd like to complete...and when weeks like this happens I really wish I was a SAHM again, so that way I had time to get the house clean, cook, and then play with my scrappy stuff instead of going to work, being there from 9-5 and then coming home to do a trillion things at once before bed time....not that I am complaining...I am truly blessed to be able to work with my husband and be able to have my kids with me...it's just that thing of "the grass is greener on the other side" business.
SOOOO I got this number done last night while watching wrestling.
you can click on the link for the whole she-bang
I used this week's color combo. which was challenging for me...LOL. Then I used Deb's august 1st sketch yet again. Can ya tell I LOVED it?

he's soooo smiley
hello, hello!
WELL, it's Sunday. I had one of my headaches again today, while at church. It was so hard trying to act normal and push the thoughts of that throbbing away. Got home, put 2 loads in to wash, folded 2 loads, started dinner, and took a nap. SO I am wide awake now debating whether or not I should start scrapping.
I have older photos of the kids...some of which the subjects are adorable, but the photos crappy...I scrapped Aaron last night after we came home from seeing my sister and her family. Today's Brandon's bday. :)
so, this is:
my baby boy, at right before turning a year. going through those old photos made me miss him sooo much. now that he's nine it's sooo different, he no longer depends on me for everything & thinks I am the best thing God created. Now I am the nag who ruins the party. :( I know he'll come around and regard me how he once did....but not any time soon. Maybe when he becomes a dad and will understand why mom is such a PITB
this i made for Debbie's sketch at allyscraps. also for random chaos. you needed to describe a person using one word. Smiley is what i used for him. because no matter what he was almost always smiling. such an easy going little boy.
