I'm So Happy It's Friday...

For some reason this has seemed like a long week and I am really looking forward to the weekend and the holiday break. That means no early mornings for a bit. With this cooler weather that is very welcome. It's harder to get out of a warm bed when it's cold:(





What oh what has been going on???...I'll backtrack;)



Yesterday Mattie had his student led conference. Steve took him when he got home from work. He made Honor Roll again:) This time he made A/B. He got 2 Bs and they were both 88s, so that's pretty darn good:)


Yesterday I made a quick trip to HL and J's at Crossroads. Just picked up a couple of things I was needing for some little projects. Then I stopped in at Target to check if they'd marked their clearance down anymore...nope, but I did get Mattie 3 pairs of pj pants cause he needed some for the cooler weather.



Visited with my neighbor which I do almost everyday;) Then just hung out. Last night we made popcorn and the kids and Steve watched Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D even though we've already seen it at the theatre. We hadn't watched it since we bought it.



Wednesday I made a quick trip to the PO to drop a package off for my holiday pea pal, then crossed over to Tuesday morning. I found some pretty good deals:) One of which was this awesome K&Co. Mira paper kit. All for $1.99. I was in shock. Too bad it was the only one there. Besides containing like 20 sheets of the glittered/embossed papers, it also had two of the diecut sheets. I'm sad to say that I paid $1.99 for just one of those sheets at 911 a while back.






That night was Papa John's school night so we ordered in. You know, where the school gets money when you order on certain days:) So no cooking. Yay for me;)



Tuesday me and my neighbor, Ruby went by HL and I picked up the Deep House blade for my Cricut!!! So exciting. I'd been wanting it for quite a while. I was so psyched when I saw it there on Monday and I came home and told Steve about it so he said I could go back and get it...hee hee:)



When he got home we put in the new blade, but I was quite disappointed cause I couldn't get it to cut through the chipboard. Too sad. I was really bummed thinking that it was a total rip off. I posted on sb.com and got a lot of negative feedback from people who were having trouble with it too:(




I left it alone and went back the next day to try again. I checked the thread on sb.com and someone posted some suggestions on there and I tried them and it worked!!! This is what I managed to cut using my newest cart, Graphically Speaking:



I cut this at a 4 depth so I think the 5 will do a much cleaner cut. I'm a hapy camper:)A pic of V in her new Nick and Nora owl pjs. Can you tell that she loves them??? They are too stinkin' cute. I just LOVE the colors and of course the owls. Who doesn't love owls???!!! I already have a LO in mind;)And here she is again sporting one of her new Yes outfits I snatched up that day with all the clearance clothes. Did I say how much I love those cute little Yes outfits. Why can't they make them in my size:(...;)


Managed to finish up a LO I had sitting on my desk for a while...


The pic is from my birthday this past October. I used my Graphically Speaking cart here again. I am forseeing a lot of usuage of this cart;) Background paper is Scenic Route as is the strip of polka dot pp, Jenni Bowlin lined pp, Wild Saffron tag, 7 Gypsies A La Card stickers, MM tiny alphas. TFL:)

It's SO Windy...

Tonight was Family Movie Night at V's school. They were showing Kung Fu Panda and serving hot dogs, chips, popcorn, drinks and cupcakes. It didn't start until 7 so I figured if we got there by 6:30 I'd be good, since everything was on a first come, first served basis. Boy was I wrong!!!



As we got closer to the movie area I saw a line of about 100 people...I am NOT kidding. In line for food and snacks. The kids had already had dinner, but I thought that at least they could get some snacks for during the movie, so we got in line.




I thought I'd get Steve a hot dog since he'd be coming straight from work and I knew he hadn't eaten, but wouldn't you know it. Literally as we got up to the front of the line, they announced they were out of hot dogs:( The kids managed to snag a drink, some chips, popcorn and a cupcake.




One of V's friends came a little later after everything was gone, so I let her have my drink, chips and popcorn and we let her sit next to V in the extra chair that was for Steve:) I ended up just sending him straight home since the movie was almost over by the time he got near the house and we left a little early cause it kept getting windier and colder.




It was a pretty nice time though. Better weather would have been good, but we can't control that;)




Today was a very nice day. I called up my neighbor, Ruby, and asked her if she wanted to go to breakfast. We went and had tacos at Bill's. Then she went with me to Mattie's ped to pick up his Rx. We went to Walmart to drop it off and killed some time there. She picked up a few groceries she needed. I got Steve the Hellboy 2 movie, a pair of pjs for V that were on clearance for $5 and this really cute sweater dress for me;)




Afterwards we went to the Big Lots across the street and then the Dollar Tree and lo and behold what I found there:



These are EXACTLY like the AC one; the Thickers and the other little embellies. I can't think of the exact names;) All for $1!!! I'm thinking I might go back and get more;) They had other stuff I didn't get. Like foam Thickers, foam shapes, some different chipboards (some with arrows and some birthday ones:) Those were the only two style of the felt embellies though and the only two colors in any of the Thickers.


Here's my one LO I got done on Wednesday when Lal was here...


Creative Imaginations decorative edge pp, Jenni Bowlin polka dot pp and bingo card, glitter chipboard letters, MM 5th Avenue diecut and tiny alphas, scalloped circle punch, Prima flowers and Center Kisses, lace, AC Remarks and cardstock sticker.

Wednesday when Lal came over we all went to Target (Ruby was with us:) and they had LOTS of clearance sale on clothes. In addition to the things being 30, 50 or 75% off, they were an extra 30% off the last marked price.

As we were walking around this woman came up to me and offered me a $5 off a $50 or more purchase of apparel. Boy was I happy:) So I got her quite a bit of things for only $52!!! 3 or 4 pieces were from the Yes line that I LOVE:)

K...I am super tired so I am hitting the sack. Have a good one:)

I Have An Illness:(...





I seriously can not stop buying scrap goodies:( It's never ending:( I went to J's and M's this past Saturday and picked up all this...

A very cool K&Co. Christmas paper pad that matches the Swell Noel. My 2Peas Pal from our Holiday Pea Swap sent me a $20 GC for a bday gift. SO sweet since that wasn't even part of the swap. So anyway, I got the Swell Noel paper pad and diecuts with the GC and this paper will go great with that; to mix and match.


Also got the MME Festive/Frost paper pad. I got some of this last year at 911 and LOVED it. Really loved the LOs I did with it and now I have more. I am a big fan of MME:) Oh...and both pads were 30% off. Kind of wish I'd waited since this week had a 50% off coupon and paper is not on sale, but I just couldn't help myself...so...oh, well:)


I did get the two BG chipboards with a 50% off coupon though as well as the two Martha Stewart felt appliques in the pic below:)


Two packs of some glitter chipboard alphas from the Target Dollar Spot and the two sets of the MS felt appliques. I want to use those to make some LOs for my neighbor who is having a baby girl at the end of this month. Maybe make something I can frame so she can put on the wall in the baby's room.Finally found some of the Studio G glitter glues at J's. I only got the 5. There were a few other colors I didn't get one being a gold, but I have that in Stickles so I didn't think I needed another. Also a silver and purple that I have in Stickles too. Also one of the Studio G stamps. They had tons, but this is the only one I thought I'd use.



Got this at HL Monday. The carts were 30% off, so this came out to like $52 with tax. Great deal I think cause I'd end up paying a little more when the carts are on sale for 2/$100. I have been wanting this cart since it came out. I got the Storybook one and I LOVE it. It's got to be my fave cart to date. This one looks like it's going to be my second fave. I was looking at the manual yesterday and it's got tons of cutting options!!!Goodies from my Holiday Pea Pal. This is my second envie of the swap. The first thing we had to do was send our pal a card or ecard; I got an ecard. A Hoops and Yoyo one. I LOVE those guys. Wonder how she knew...??? :)


The first envie I got had some Christmas stickers and some adhesive gems...maybe one more thing. I can't recall:(


Now the other day, I got this. A tin of some most delicious peanut brittle:P Some very pretty Blue Awning tags...all in this very cute felt bag.


A most wonderful birthday gift from my friend Daphne for our birthday swap on Sneaky. OMG!!! LOVE it all!!! Yay, yay!!! Thanks SO much, Daph!!! :)

Lal and I are getting together to scrap tomorrow. Let's see what I can get done. I'll update what I get done:)

What's With the Circles???...

This is what Lal asked me yesterday when I showed her my two new LOs:) And the answer is...I don't know;) It's just the LOs that inspired me:) And here they are:

This is a lift off of one of my favorite sb artists; Allison Shubert. I absolutely LOVE her work. Of course mine never do hers justice, but I try:) I used Kraft paper, a cake coilie, Paper Studio pp that I distressed with my HS distresser, Jenni Bowlin mini bingo card, Paper Studio doilie lace, Imaginisce blooms, fabric brad and I cut the flourish with my Sizzix die out of some velvet paper:)I used one of my recent Halloween pics for this one. The diecut paper was made using one of the big Accucut dies at 911. I got quite a few sheets cut with this design in different colors:) Patterned papers are Pink Paislee Vintage Moon, more Sizzix cut flourishes this time using felt:) MME diecut, Prima lace and flower (the smaller one), Jenni Bowlin journaling sticker, Bazzill paper flower (the larger one) and buttons.

The kids had early release today so they are home already. Tomorrow is a chill day for me. V is spending it with my MIL at my BILs house so I MIGHT do some running around or just take it easy at home. Have a great weekend:)

It's November Already...

Boy is time just zipping by. It'll be Christmas before you know it:)



Let me see...what's been going on???...not much;) Halloween came and went. We had a good night. I went and picked up Lal and the kids and they came and spent the holiday with us. The kids had a blast and they all looked so cute in their costumes especially Mikey.
Mattie was a skeleton guy, V was Dorothy, Lij was Michael Jackson (LOL) and Mikey decided he wanted to be Cat in the Hat. This costume belonged to Mattie. He wore it the year he was like 6 and I've kept it ever since cause I just LOVE it so...and so did Mikey. He was just fascinated by the tail and he kept "chasing" after it and acting silly. It was TOO funny:)A corner of our Halloween decorations. It was SO hard to get some good pics outside that night. My camera was being all wonky and freezing on me:( This is our "grave yard" area:)Yummy Halloween cupcakes I made for the kids...well...we ate some too;)

Picture of Baby Girl the other morning before school. Another one of the Yes pieces from T's that I LOVE so much. I wish they'd make this clothes in my size;)LO I've been working on. Creative Imaginations diecut paper, last years MM Halloween line and diecut bat, some Spellbound diecuts, a felt flourish I cut out using a Sizzix die and some sticky back felt. I used my new MS star border punch to make that little strip at the bottom of the pic:) Oh, and the stickers for my title are old Daisy D's. TFL:)

Brrr...I Wish I Had Fur...

OK...we are just too used to the heat. I'm sure it's not as cold here as it is in other places. I know others have already had snow and such, but I'm cold!!! Also the pilot in our central heat is acting up so we need to have someone come and look at it. I spent quite a while yesterday trying to get it to stay on and Steve did too very early this morning before he left for work...but no go. We had to get up to a cold house...not fun:(



In other news...my birthday weekend was fun. I got to sleep in a bit on Saturday morning. Steve took the day off. I woke up and Steve brought me my birthday cards (cute) and my gift (a jacket I had been wanting).




A pic of all the goodies I accumulated over the course of the day:) More new Crate papers (LOVING these:), finally got some of the Doodlebug Paper Frills and some of the Jenni Bowlin crepe paper ribbons. Lots of new goodies. I can't wait to play with:)

Oh...a new Fancy Pants 12x12 stamp set I just got:)


We went out to breakfast then dropped the kids off with my MIL. We did some shopping around town. Went to the new Joann's store, Scrapbook 911, M's, SB Heaven. We went out to lunch at Sea Island. I had the coconut shrimp. I LOVE coconut shrimp:) We were going to do a movie, but Steve's parents had a rosary to go to; one of their customers. So we cut our day kind of short.



We came home and did the cake. A yummy Black Forest that Steve ordered from Luby's. It's my fave:P
I've got quite a few LOs done this past week too. Using up that yummy Crate paper. This has to be some of my favorite lines so far; the new Crate-Prudence, Lemongrass and Mia:)

Those yummy Crate papers; Lemongrass on this one along with the glitter diecuts. I used one of my MS border punches and a Fiskars corner border punch on two of the papers here. Also used a dimensional tree sticker I got in the T's dollar post. Chatterbox chipboard letters, MM tiny alphas and a Sandylion dimensional owl sticker.

For this one, I used the Page Maps sketch that Jennie posted on the 911 blog:) Crate papers and glitter diecuts again. I made my own lollipop embellies using the tutorial. Bazzill Just the Edge and I cut some leaves out of some Queen & Co. felt.

This one is a lift off the Crate site. Crate paper again. This time the Prudence line as well as the diecuts. Also used an AL flourish stamp.

Another lift from the Crate site. Lemongrass papers and diecuts again, some buttons and some borders I made using my Threading Water punch.

Only two more days to Halloween. The kids are really excited:) We made goodie bags for V's class. We put a bag of mini oreos, a bag of Teddy Grahams, a bag of mini Ritz Bits, a Halloween pencil and a coupon for a free treat from McDonald's.

We also have conference at V's school on Friday morning; first report card of the year. Steve it taking the day off so let's see what else we plan for the day. Have a good one:)

A Little Tutorial and Some Birthday Wishes for Tomorrow...





I just love those new Prima Lollipop flowers. I've seen them and similars used a lot on LOs lately. I attempted to make one out of some denim fabric the other night. I'll post a pic of that later.


Just a bit ago, I found this really cool tutorial on Scrapbook & Cards Today blog:


Supplies Needed to make the distressed paper circle flowers:Patterned Paper (I used Sonoma from Scenic Route)3 different sized circle punches (EK Success)Paper distresser (Heidi Swapp)FlossNeedle
This technique is so simple, but it adds a big punch to a layout or card when you group the flowers in multiples. Here is what you do:
1. Punch the circles out of coordinating patterned papers.




2. Distress the edge of the paper with the distresser.




3. Crumple the circles and slightly smooth out.






4. Layer the circles and hand stitch together with embroidery floss.


5. Adhere to card or layout.



You really should check out this blog...http://www.scrapbookandcardstodaymag.typepad.com/. There were some other really cool tutorials on there including the how to use the infamous Threading Water punch to go around corners. Can anyone REALLY do this???



Some pumpkin patch pics to share from last weekend...


Some pics I took of V the other afternoon in her Halloween costume. I still need to do Mattie's but I need to do his outdoors since his costume is primarily black. I can't do it against this "backdrop":( Hopefully this weekend.

I've done two more LOs in the last few days that I need to upload. One if finished, but I'm debating whether the second one is. I'm thinking of adding a title and maybe a few flower embellies. Ooo, maybe I'll make some of these "lollipop" ones;) I used the sketch Jennie posted on the 911 blog for my second LO. I LOVE the sketch.

Tomorrow is our birthday. I say OUR cause of course it's mine and Lal's:) So a Happy Birthday shout out to my sistah. Holla!!! ;) Have a happy happy birthday!!!

Not So Secret Santa Swap...

So I joined this swap over at 2Peas. I'm gonna try my luck out somewhere else. I've never had much luck doing swaps on SB.com. I usually end up with the short end of the stick:( I always see all these amazing packages people send each other over on 2Peas, so I thought I'd give it a shot over there and hope I don't get burned...again:(

The swap has a whole little "schedule" we need to follow of when we need to send certain things to our pal before the actual "big" gift package. Over the course of the weeks working up to Christmas we need to be sending our pal cards along with little "gifts" such as their favorite candy, their favorite scented candle, a holiday themed scrap goodie, etc.


I wanted to start working on my cards today, but then I had a really cool idea. I thought of making her tags instead. She could then use the tags on LOs or projects. The cards wouldn't really serve any kind of purpose so I thought this would be WAY better;)


These are the two I came up with today. I got the inspiration from another peas' gallery except hers were Halloween cards:)

I used my Cricut Storybook cart to cut the shapes. Then I used last years MM Christmas paper pack I got at T's. I love the vintage look of it. The poinsettias are also from that same line. I love how they turned out:)

That's all for today:)

Chill Day...

So it's just me and V here today. I dropped Mattie off at my mom's yesterday afternoon and Steve is at work. After work he's taking Stevie and a couple of friend to Nightmare on Greyson or Terror Mansion.


So I took V to Chuck E. Cheese's earlier. We shared a little pizza, played some games and she won herself a cotton candy. She LOVES cotton candy;)


Afterwards, we crossed over to Target. Didn't buy anything though. I debated driving to M's at the Rim, but we just came back home instead.


Yesterday me and Lal spent the day together. We met up at Crossroads. I had to meet Steve there too to give him a new checkbook and he got there first so we went over to Denny's and had breakfast.


Met Lal up at Target and we went from there. We were jean shopping, but we couldn't find anything we liked at Target. All the jeans are super low rise. I think we are well beyond that:( Went and washed my truck that needed it so badly. Nice and shiny now...for now.


We wanted to drive out to SB Heaven and check out the new location and stuff. So we drove over and it was closed!!! They were supposed to reopen last Monday and they are still not open. There was stuff all over the place and noone was even there getting things ready. The store was closed and empty and nowhere near opening. Don't know what's up there, but the least they can do is update the store website.


So we went to Big Lots and $ Tree, then Walmart. Found some really cute, great priced jeans at Walmart. Yay!!! I picked up 2 pairs. So happy cause I had none that fit:(


Lal and I also exchanged our birthday gifts yesterday. Here is what I got:

LOVE the CI papers!!! I can't wait to use them...or just admire them;) And all that Magic Mesh. Ooo.


I can't remember if I posted a pic of my project, but this is something I made for Lal and one for myself:

So I made Lal one of these as part of her birthday gift. I also got her the McGill ticket punch that she'd really been wanting and one of the new Studio G clear stamps (the Faith one) and an Imaginisce little bird stamp. WAY cute. Maybe Lal will post a pic of her goodies later:) I also went by M's last night and got these goodies for her too:) Can you feel the birthday love??? ;)

I also picked up some MM Fa La La paper at M's last night. I'd already picked some up at 911 a while back, but I didn't have the artisan one:) So I picked up 2 sheets.

I got this really cool DS game at Best Buy last night. It's kind of a Clue type game. Really fun, so I'm gonna go lie on the couch and play for a while:) Have a great evening everyone:)

Hump Day LO;)

I got all my daily chores done WAY early today as opposed to my usual procrastination;) So afterwards I got in a little scrap time and did another LO:

I basically used the same sketch I used for the LO of Mattie's report card. The sketch was from Creative Scrappers, I think. I got the link from Lal. Papers are MME on plain Kraft paper. Prima Dude journaling card, 7 Gypsies stickers and AC foam Thickers. I used my SU scallop border punch to make my little strip:)

I was going to run by SB Heaven today to check out their new location, but I saw someone posted on 2Peas that they weren't open on Monday like they were supposed to me and the phone was disconnected yesterday. So not sure what's going on there, but I put off my trip. Maybe I'll call first and head out tomorrow. I'm really just trying to stay away from shopping cause I'm planning on a little road trip to the Archiver's in Austin on the 25th for my birthday and I really want to save up;)

That's all I got for now:)

Is That Quiet I Hear???...:)

The kids were off yesterday for Columbus Day. I did my house cleaning and ran to M's and HL. I found this one stamp at M's that I'd seen a while back on clearance and passed on it. Then when I decided I wanted it, I went back and it was gone. But today I found it in a clearance bin. Woo hoo!!! It's a crossword puzzle stamp. I saw someone use something similar on a LO and I thought it was a really cool idea.

Anyway, there was alot of noise around here yesterday; constant bickering and arguing...the kids, that is, but they went back today and I got some peace and quiet. I managed to get a LO done too:)



This was a lift from 2Peas; muffyvan:) I used Daisy D's paper with the exception of the one piece of MM flocked Chelsea's Place paper in the bottom right hand corner. The frame is Marcella by Kay. Someone sent that to me ages ago. Finally found a use for it. Prima daisies, 7 Gypsies stickers, Bazzill Pom Poms, AL journaling stamp and buttons.i

I got one done Sunday night too. During my "down time":

This is a lift off a woman on sb.com; Scrappy Daisy. Papers are MM Noteworthy and a little strip of Scenic Route, I used my Threading Water punch to make my own "paper frill"; the pink one:) I cut the little butterflies out of a sheet of the BG Ambrosia. Heart paper doilie, Primas, buttons, 7 Gypsies stickers.

I think I am at 104 LOs now:)

There is a Scrapbook/Stamp Expo coming to SA this Saturday/Sunday and I am debating going. Not sure if it's worth the trip. Is it mainly stamps??? What type of vendors will be there, etc. Has anyone been to one of these and what can I expect. I don't want to miss it if it's gonna be good;)

In other news, I gassed up yesterday at $2.72 at Walmart. I talked to my friend Jav today though and he told me gas was $2.69 by his house. $2.72 is the cheapest I've seen it on my side of town though so I'm pretty happy about it:)

That's all I got right now. So have a good night:)

I Reached My Goal...101 LOs:)

So me and Lal had a little scrapping soire yesterday:) I got 3 LOs done and I have now reached my scrapping goal for the year!!! Woo hoo!!!

This is a lift off Sasha F. My sis lifted this one too:) Paper are Scrapworks and Paper Studio. Bazzill Edge. Sizzix cut chipboard stars, Jenni Bowlin ticket, HS block alpha stickers and damask sticker, Paper Studio polka dot button, other buttons and AL journaling stamp on some Doodlebug scraps (thank you Lal;)



Another lift from someone on sb.com Scrappy Daisy:) MM Passport stamp edge paper, MME papers. 7 Gypsies stickers, Doodlebug Paper Frills, scalloped circle punchie, foam alpha stickers.This LO is really special. For those of you who don't know, Mattie is ADD. He struggles to keep up with the rest of his classmates, but he always tries REALLY hard. He is in 8th grade now and for the first 6 weeks of school, he brought home straight A's!!! This is a really big deal cause this is his first time ever!!! He's made the A/B honor roll before; once or twice, but never all A's. We are SO very proud:)


Jenni Bowlin papers, Rusty Pickle and Scenic Route, 7 Gypsies journaling card. AC foam Thickers and Paper Studio cardstock alpha stickers. Lasting Impression chipboard stars.


I went by 911 last night and got all sorts of goodies. Except for the Paper Frills I really wanted:(


I am SO loving this new Crate paper and the glitter diecuts!!! And the diecut papers are SO yummy!!! I also got one of the BG Bitty Stamp sets. I really wanted the Urban Prairie with the two little birds, but they didn't have that one:(

What else???...What else???...Can't think of anything else right now. I'm headed outside to put out some of our Halloween decorations. We're just chilling at home today. I just made a quick run to M's cause I had some 50% off coupons, but I didn't find much. Except a new MS border punch, but those were already 30% off:)

I'm Almost There!!!

I've almost reached my goal of 100 LOs for this year. These two bring me to 98!!! Only two more to go:)

Today we had our ARD meeting for Mattie. It went really well and he is making very good progress. Getting good grades in all of his classes. Hopefully he will be able to pass the TAKS when the time comes.


Steve took the rest of the day off after the meeting. We went out to breakfast then did some shopping:) I went to M's to look for something that I need for a little project I am working on. Thankfully I was able to find it cause none of the other stores had any more:( I'm going to work on this tomorrow, so I'll post a pic soon;)


We also went by Garden Ridge. Hadn't been there in like forever, but Steve was looking for some Halloween stuff...as always:) We found all those little Halloween village thingies;) He had already picked up a few at M's on sale, but they were 75% off at Garden Ridge so he got quite a few. He set it all up as soon as we got home. I cleared up the space on the coffee table so he could put it all out. I know how much he loves that stuff.


I also set up a couple of Fall decorations in our entry way. I got the cute little scarecrows at Garden Ridge too and they were 1/2 off, so even better:)

These two smaller scarecrows I've had for a while. I can't remember where I got them. The "basket" they are in, I just got at J's a few weeks back:)

It's late and I gotta hit the hay, so I'll finish updating this post tomorrow. Good night:)
