A Cased Card

Vicki made this card over at My Stamping Smiles and I just had to case it. I loved the quilted look. :)

Congrats for a friend

I went ahead and made the congrats card for my friend who's having a baby next month.

New Cards....

...from the card kit I got from SU last week. I'm using one of them for my moms birthday card next month(the one on the left) and I'm using one for my aunt and brother (yes, together...lol They live together). They are both sick and thought I'd send them a 'get well' card(the one of the right).

...and I still have 11 more to make from this kit. :)

She's got it!!!

Be sure to give her a hand when she's done... ;)

Saturday's Croptober Fest Layouts...

So here's what I made on Saturday. I had gotten 9 layouts completed. We had a Bingo game going on the whole time, where we had to do certain things to mark off that spot. As we did a bingo, we'd get a little something for free. The more we did, we'd get tickets for drawings. And then the more pages we did, the more tickets we'd get to put in for the grand prize drawing. So anyways, here's my layouts and I'll tell you what I added to get a bingo...LOL

this first one, I didn't do anything from the bingo.

This one of my great aunt...(LMAO, how funny is that???)...was were we needed to use the new Paisley Maker from Creative Memories. Oh and to use the Creative Memories Precision Point adhesive. So I got 2 marked off for those...LOL ...go me! :)

On this one, I used the CM abc/123 stickers. So I got to mark that off my bingo sheet. :)

I didn't use any of the bingo challenges on this one. lol But I'm not happy with the way the picture turned out. It look soooo much better in person. Especially the photo of Saira and me.

Ok, on these I used the new CM Snow Maker (punch thingy). It's on the manilla colored cardstock on the bottom right. That snow maker punches 2 different images on the paper. You'll see the other one in my other layout....

This one was a 2 for...lol One was to use the CM snow maker, which I had already done, but HELLO, this one was Christmas, so why not use that cute little Snow Flake, right?? The other was to create a layout from one that was shown on the CM Paisley Idea Sheet. So I went with what you see here, minus the paisley, since I had already done that....and that's why I went with the snow flake....LOL Did you get all that??? lol

The challenge here was to use the CM frosted photo splits. I used them to adhere my vellum phrase. I like those alot better than vellum tape. lol And by the way, that's by little baby nephew. My only nephew. Isn't he the most handsome little booger?? I was there to witness the birth. My SIL had a c-section and I was the special person to be in the room with her...(for those that didn't already know).

Aren't I just tooooo gorgeous? lmao!

And this one is the kiddies from the Valentine's Day party in February. I just love these pics of them. And I used the paisley punch again.... :)

There were many more things to do on the bingo sheet, like refil our tape runner, that wasn't very hard...LOL Umm, what else? Oh, like get up and look at some of the things displayed on the tables, introduce yourself to someone you haven't met yet and some other things. :) But anyways, those are my pages. Thanks for looking at them. :) And hopefully you clicked on them to see them UP CLOSE and personal...lol!! ;)

Great Crop!!

Yesterday I had gone to an all day crop with my friend Kim. It was from 3pm-12am. I was able to get 9 layouts completed. I could've gotten probably 2 or 3 more done if I didn't have to stop to eat dinner and go take a break with Kim. It was sooooo much fun. I can't wait to go to another crop. That was my first crop to attend. There were about 30 people there. The only crops I've been to were the ones with 3 or 4 people tops. I'll have pics to share later. :) I'm still tired and wore out. LOL

Yay for goodies!!!!!

YAY!!!! Today all my goodies arrived. I went to the post office to check my mail, and my goodies from Vicki was there. Infact, that's all I had today....hehe! Yay for no bills, right? So then I get home and woohoo, the man in brown came by. I got my package from Stampin' Up. Saturday I had gotten one of those card kits that were 20% off. I got the one called 'Three Thoughts'. I can't wait to make something with ALLLL the goodies I got today. Thank you Vicki and thank you Stampin' Up! :)

Shower Gift...

My friend who's having the baby shower, is decorating the babies room in red, white and blue. So while I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday I found this cute little 6x6 shadow box. I thought I could decorate it up as a gift. So I went to the paper isle and got some nice papers. Then I got ribbon. My friend Jana found the cute little doll embellishment and the jumbo letter brads. That's the babies initials. :) Then we found the star brads. I had at home the red bandana ribbon and the Freedom/Liberty/4th of July stickers that I used on the bottom right of it. I wove the ribbon around the basket, got that on sale as well, for $1 and some change. woohoo! :)

oh oh, I also got the shadow box on sale for like $4 and some change. It was $8. :)

Baby Shower Card

This is a card I made for my friends baby shower. I had so much fun with that bunny. Isn't he just the cutest??

World Card Making Day

So what are you doing for World Card Making Day? In a little while I'm going to head over to my Stampin' Up Consultants house, to alter a composition book and make cards. :) This should be lots of fun! It will be my very first altered item. :) YAY! I'll have pics for later.

Happy World Card Making Day! makes lots of cute and pretty cards!!!!!

Blog Candy Challenge

Vicki at My Stamping Smiles asked us to use one of her cards from her blog as a sketch to enter for her blog candy. And this is my entry. I made my card from her Pinwheels demo.
Thanks Vicki, that was ALOT of fun!!

Yay for me!

I'm so proud of myself. :) I finally finished all of my Halloween cards last night. So keep a look out folks!!!!!!

Today's Treasure Finds

LOL

Today Jana and I went to Target to hit the $1 section! And this is what I came home with. She bought me the hole punch and then gave me the pumpkin punch. She's just toooo sweet to me! ;)

b-day card

This morning I made a card for my friend Kim. Her birthday is on Thursday!! :) I had lots of fun making this one....using some of the goodies that I got RAK'ed with. ;)

So Guess What...

Well, I didn't lose or gain anything from last week. I'm just glad I didn't gain. Since I had 2 birthdays and 1 anniversary. And now Sunday I have Ryan's birthday. I'll try to be more tougher and not fall into the yummy cake and pizza that day. ;) I'm sure if I didn't do all the walking I did (3 miles a day) then I probably would've gained.

Holy Bat Cake Batman!!

This cake is AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!!!!! Talk about trouble, sitting on the counter. LOL Mary, you are in big trouble little missy!!! Just way to good to be sitting over there on that little cake plate, that's for sure.

See, I bought the stuff to make this Yummy Apple Spice cake before I started my diet. But it's better for you than the regular way of making it. Since the oil is replaced with apple pie filling. I'll have to look for the sugar free version of the pie filling next time, then it will be even more better, less guilt free...lol ;)

Mr. Chad is most happy with his yummy cake!!

WooHOOOOOOO

How exciting, today is the FIRST day of fall! Isn't it wonderful?!? All the pretty colors. And my yard is already getting full of leaves...LOL It's been breezy the last several days, which has made my walking enjoyable. And to bring in the change of Season, I ate my leftover pumpkin cheesecake from Olive Garden, from last night. Ummm, HELLO, it was soooooo good! It'll make you smack your mama, for sure! ;)

Happy Fall Ya'll!!!!

AND Happy Birthday to my sweetie, he turns 29 today. Still a baby... ;)

Test

This is a test...

This is simply a test...

this is a test from your emergency broadcasting system....

LOL

10 Years

Today was our 10 year Anniversary!!! :) Such a special day for us!!!

Oh My!!

I think it's finally dawned on me that Saira is ACTUALLY in school now.

LOL

She just came up to me...

Saira... you know who my boyfriend is now??
Me... Who is it??
Saira... Xavier ....hehe....
Me... Ohhhh, ok. Does he know he's your boyfriend?!?
Saira... Nooooooooo ...hehe... But Hannah told him today.
Me... Ohhh ok.
Saira... She told him while me and Hannah was in the 'Car Center' and Xavier was in the 'Home Center'. (and then she rattled on some more...lol)

But when she was talking about the centers that they play in, it reminded me of Ryan in Pre-K and Kindergarden. And yes, she talks real countryfied if you can't tell from that last statment from her....LOL

And btw, I am totally not ready for this girly boyfriend junk...UGH!!! GESH, she's only 4!!! LOL

Made Three

I managed to FINALLY make 3 birthday invitations last night for Ryan's birthday party for next Sunday, the 30th. LOL I made them plan and simple, they'll end up in the trash, I'm sure...LOL He thought they turned out cute, so that's all that mattered, right?

Well, hmmmm...

Today was my BIL's birthday. We went over there for cake and ice cream before football and cheerleader practice. I had a piece of cake and ice cream of course, can't be rude you know. But I walked a mile and a half afterwards, so hopefully that helped. Don't know the calories on all of that. But I think I gave myself a big hunking number to cover it....which still left me under my 1200 calories for the day. *crossing fingers*

1 day, 2 more events to go....LOL

Where Have I Been?

Saw this on Melodee's Blog and thought this was fun! Here's all the states I've been to, how about you?

Loosing update...

...LOL...

Today was my weekly checkup. I have lost 5 lbs. I'm so excited!! I hope I do just as well this week with my anniversary being this week...and my 12 year old Brother-in-laws birthday as well...oh and Chad's birthday. Gesh, I think this week is doombed already. UGH! Wish me luck please.

WOW, go ME!!

So yesterday evening, it was time for me to go walk my mile. So I walked and walked and finished. I was like, I think I'll do another. So while I did that, I was talking to my mom and she talked me into doing 1 more mile. I got in 3 miles, at once. This past week I've walked 2 miles a day, but it was 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Go me for getting 3 miles in at once. Woohoo! It was super easy. I didn't have any troubles at all doing it. I think I'm in the groove with walking now. I feel like I made up for my evening walk on Friday that I missed due to the High School football game. And then yesterday mornings walk due to the Pee-Wee football game....LOL

...time to go do my morning mile.... tata!

Dentist or No Dentist...

That is the question!

Last night Ryan was eating his chicken stripes for dinner last night and he bit down on a hard crunchy and hurt his molar. It's capped! So we got a little worried. He was a little scared. He was fine today, so of course, he went to school. Well this morning the nurse called saying that Ryan was bleeding from his tooth. And suggested he get to a dentist. No problem. I set up an emergency visit at 3pm. So at 2:30 I was at the school signing him out. Here he comes walking slower than Christmas down the hallway. I was like DUDE, get the lead out of your BUTT!! He was like, why?? I told him we needed to get to the dentist. He said...LOL...why? I said for your tooth dingbat!! He said why...lmao! I said cause it's all loose and stuff. He said no mama, it's here around my neck, I lost it earlier today.

Well HELL, lmao!!!!! I told him to get back to class. haha!!! So the tooth fairy needs to get ready for tonight. It's a molar, so it's big bucks, probably 5....LOL Tooth fairy chick is such a tight wad, don't you think?

She says it's her birthday...nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

If she's not having one of those menopausal moments...lol...and giving the wrong date for her birthday, then TODAY is her birthday! Happy Birthday Kari!! Hope you have a good one, I'm sure you are if you are out at the shops in Granbury. :)

Radient

....NOT....

This thing scared me to death this morning. I've NEVER seen one before, or even seen one that big. I just see the little ol' piss ant spiders...LOL So then I noticed it's web and it reminded me of Charlotte's Web.




So, what was scary, is that the big huge booger is right there at the stairs into my house...between the railings... UGH! Chad says he'll remove it when he gets home. I know it's not going to do anything, but still it's BIG...really BIG. And that's just not cool.

....so, onto other things besides big ol' spiders. Yesterday..........I walked 2 miles. 1 mile in the morning, 1 in the evening. I was most proud of myself. I was 100 calories under my 1200 calorie limit. Go me! I drank tons of water. Go me again!

....so, this morning, I actually got dressed and decided to go walk, EVEN THOUGH it's been yucky since yesterday at 7pm. It barely did a few sprinkles on me while I walked this morning. Hopefully it will be ok enough for Chad and I to go walk this evening....for my 2nd mile.

Remembering 9/11

Christmas Give-a-way!

I demand you to head on over to Ms. Kari's blog. She's giving away some really awesome stuff tomorrow morning, so hurry quick. Let her know you want to have a chance at winning. ;) Run, don't walk!!!

Yep, I'm changing it...

I've ordered new Halloween stamps...lol So therefore I'm changing my halloween card up...HEHE So when I get the stamps, I'll get started on one to show a preview. ;) I'm so excited. And I also got some Thanksgiving stamps. :)

Time to shed some pounds

Today a friend and I went to a weight loss doctor and we're going to be losing our weight. Chad's going to join us next week. :) I'm excited for us. :)

Handy as a Pocket on a Shirt...

....that would be Mary! Lookit what she did with my banner! Isn't she the bestest in the whole wide world??!!?? I certainly do think so. I wub her berry much!!! Thank you Ms. Mary!!! :)

New Card...

Here's a new card I made yesterday for my daughters best friends birthday.

That's My Boy!!!

OH MY GOSH ya'll! My little man FINALLY won his first ever pee-wee football game y esterday. This makes his 3rd season now. I just about wanted to cry, seriously. And then, my little baby girl is on the pee-wee cheerleading squad. AWWWW! What a great day it was yesterday. I was so proud of her for standing out there doing their cheers. It was great. I just can't get over Ryan winning though. It was so special. It was their first game this season. They won 13-0!

GO BOBCATS!!!!

Monday's Layout

Finally... here is the LO I created on Monday. :)

She's so funny...

Saira cracks me up. For the last month or so, with the talk of school, she's always calling her grade "Pretty-K" but it's suppose to be 'Pre-K'. It's so cute!!! She doesn't know she's saying it that way, she thinks she's saying 'Pre-K'. LOL ;)

Getting Ready

....for Halloween....

Am I crazy? I sure hope not. I just was ready to decorate. I even have my little sign out in the yard. lol This is my wall hanging, that my grandma made for my mom. My mom gave it to me. But I don't have enough empty space to hang the big thing. So Chad thought it would be ok to hang it like this. lol

Pics of the kids...

Here's their first day of school....







Here's is Saira with her teacher. :)


And here is Ryan with his teacher. :)

I did it! I did it!

Yay, I FINALLLLLLLY made a layout today. I'll take a picture and post it later. I'm so excited! ;) Maybe that will get me going now. ;)

Sorry folks, I've been super busy this week with school. My baby girl started her 1st year of school. AWWWWW! Ryan's in the 2nd grade, so we have been swamped with homework every afternoon. OMG, it's just crazy!!! Then we also have had football and cheerleading practice every evening. Yes, I'm exhausted and pooped. BUT to top it off... all week I've had a toothache and today I have a dentist appointment to get it taken care of. YAY! ;)

So, I haven't done any scraping or card making. Today I was suppose to make a card, shame on me for not making it. But later tonight, when I get back I'll post pics of the kids at school. ;)

...to be continuted...

lol
