Back to 1995

I can't believe how fast time has gone this was back in 1995 and I can still remember it as if it were yesterday. How times flies. This is Daughter sorry a little of the top was croped. You can see a smidge on the left of the top layer

I have so much more to go..but headed in the right direction.

Hubby's Home

Who caught a five pound fish..Of course he didn't take a camera.. HE love it..but was happy to get home and I was happy to have him Home.. He loves to fish..He was gone for four days. He will go again in October..They fish starting like 5:30 a.m. then they eat.. and don't get home till about6:30 eat and sleep He won for the biggest fish but ahhhh we have no proof.. Oh well
Count ddown to Alaska is on it's way.

Mother's Day

My daughter came out for Mother's Day and we did not even take a picture.. Not sure what happened with that.. I always take pictures on these occasions. I guess just so much and so little time. We had a great weekend just wasn't long enough that's for sure. Sunday we were all not feeling to good so we just had some family time with T.v. and relaxing which we do not get a down day to often and it really felt good.. NO work yay... I haven't been feeling real good the last couple days.. DD got real sick when she got home and couldn't go to work on Monday so not sure it was the flu going around or what. I can't believe it's already Wednesday let alone the middle of May that's for sure. Hope everyone had a great Mother's day.

On another note Click here to go see the cards for the Papercraft Idol contest.. All I can say is that these TEN ladies deserve all to be winners they have amazing talent and the cards are all beautiful. They put alot of work into these. The next round they will elimate FIVE contestants out of the TEN I wish them all luck but in my opinion they are all winners.. GOOD LUCK LADIES. (like they look at my blog hahaha)
So voting is up on the 17th.. I'll see how close I come for fun of who will go to the next round.

Can't wait to see and the next round of cards they are totally amazing

I guess I needed a shove to get going again

Well this is for Aprils card challenge. for secret scrapper I haven't used decorative scissors in ages..it was fun. This is gonna be a fun challenge 4 me to have to scrp and car make more

Way to go grad

With this one I have to tell 6 things about myself......unusual things.

1.) I cannot eat wet bread Nope no french dips Pastrami has to be grilled no dipping not even cookies. (I guess it's a texture thing.)

2.) My wash has to has to have softner in it and a dryer sheet.

3.) I have to have face make up on everyday even If I 'm sick. I put it on and blush. but those are a must.

4.) I brush my teeth in the shower in the am(hubby hates this) so I have two toothbrushes

5.) I love Onions and Garlic I do not cook anything hot without them.

6.) I will not eat dip from a party if I'm not the first one to get some cause I hate the double dippers.. If I don't see it when it first comes out I don't eat it.

ONCE AGAIN TO MUCH ON MY PLATE

OKAY .. I need to finish what's on my plate before adding any more ingredients.. I made myself a promise.. No forum posting for a week for starters. No shopping on the internet, Finish the two cards deals I have going before I sign up for the next. There is no way I could have finsihed another one I was gonna join last month.. I have mandatory overtime next week at work. I have month end for my hubby's books and I have our bills, laundry, etc.. Yes I hired a cleaning person but she does her thing and dust baseboards and stuff but you still have the everyday life to deal with such as laundry . I have some crates from Az when we went that i haven't unpacked.. I have National Scrapbook day I bought these 12 x 12 things to get prepared I have to say i have taken 20 minutes the last couple morning going thru photos so i have a few pages like four already.. I want to take more than i need in case I have blocked thoughts. I am working with the web lady for the fun site I will have it' s mainly for fun not for profit. I feel this would make me create more of my own stuff etc.. if I was tied into it but you never know. I have a housewarming to go to . A business brunch at the Queen Mary sunday.. and National Scrapbook Day is just around the corner.. I have had some serious no sleep weeks not to long ago averaging about 5 a nite.. and this week I've been pretty close to that with about 5 1/2 to 6 So I am gonna try and search blogs on lunch just so that I have some kind of entertainment and keep up on everyone. I need to start making sure walking is in my daily routine all the wieght I lost I gained back So I am gonna start again cause my cruise is three mnths away so I need to make sure to do something.. It's grill season so that would help a ton... Rather than comfort food.. I thought about doing WW online but it's not reporting to someone.. But I don't see where I have the time for the meetings sometimes I only take 1/2 lunch at work it's not enough time.. Anyways I 'll figure something out.. I really give Kuddos to those who excercise regularly and have lost and kept it off etc.. So that is what I will evaulate as well during my time.. So I have a lot to do and better hack the list off one at a time.. I want my scrapspace in order.. so I have planned to make sure that either in the a.m or pm I spend 15-30 minutes in there that's the only way I can.. I need things to slow down. So those are my plans.. Hopefully I can get it all done.. I feel overwhelmed so I think hacking them one at a time and curving some of my fun will help to. This way I can go back to having fun again.. Shoot I am so far behind on a couple forum on all theunread posts I hate to miss out on things.hahahaha But that can wait another week.

SUPER CRAZY BUSY.. EXCITED FOR NSD

Well it's been a hec of a last 10 days for me..ugh. It's starting to slow down.. I feel as though I have had no SLEEP.. I'd happily buy some.. Anyways.. I am super excited for National Scrapbook day.. Wow what a deal.. It starts Friday at a country club from 10:oo a.m till 2;00a.m
We get Lunch and dinner snack and drinks and prizes , prizes.. They aren't cheezy wheezy ones either. Last year some one won a QK handle , Dies, and other fun packaged stuff.. Whoo hoo I didn't make it but hey.. I just want the die for the QK.. I love QK.. Then saturday it goes from 8:00 a.m to Midnite.. with Continental breakfast , lunch and dinner drinks snacks prizes, raffles whoo hoo... then we get to go back Sunday 9:00 a.m to 3:0o pm.. We get a 10% discount at the LSS All this for $80.00 I might be forgetting something.? The prizes alone they give are worth that.. There will be 50 people there so we only have to share one table with two people which is good. I am so so excited hoping to get a lot done.. I have started to go thru pictures at odd times either in wee early a.m hours or laaaaaaaate nite to see what I might want to scrap and then pull paper now to match the bazzill I will take all my embelissh and ribbon and just buy everything else when we make our daily trip to the LSS I can't wait to get something done... I will probably take more tahn I can get done but you can always hope that's for sure.. I want to do a picture of our Furb... So I have to get that together.. Poor little guy.. We really miss him.. After the cruise hubby wants another one.. I don't.. that was heart wrenching... Well that's my story for now.. Hope to blog soon.. Then to work on my online stuff that I am gonna start that up again.. I did this about 5 years ago and it's time to have more fun It started to become work and take over the fun.. So this time hopefully things will be different..

REST IN PEACE LITTLE GUY.. WE WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Poor Furbee is in Doggie Heaven

Poor Furb... AKA Little bug, Little buddy... We were on the way to Arizona and he suffered Heart Attack / Stroke there isn't much they could do it was pretty bad. He was pretty lifeless we were 80 miles away from anything.. he was like a fish out of water when you put him down. It would be your kidneys they say if it was the food scare. And he suffered about 2 1/2 weeks ago what they called a seizure and figure he might be having conjective heart failure.? We never thought he would go this soon. I felt he had more life in him. He can't be replaced he was a huge part of our daily routine and we are not adjusting probably as well as him.. I know that he is probably with a couple of his friends there in doggie heaven and one day will get to see him again He was the best dog we ever had from a child I never thought I'd be so attached to an animal as him. We are adjusting and my husband that dog adored him.. There could be 1000 people that knew furb but he would go with my husband he made him feel safe and secure and knew he would always be there to his rescue it was so sad that we could not do anything.. we came home to a dog not jumping on us soon as we walked thru the door his pillow , his blanket and toys.. It's gonna take a while..

I FOUND THIS QUOTE and I really liked it.. It kinda reminded me of the movie MEAN GIRLS.

I am gonna do a nice layout with it of me and hubby.. but the other one.huh could gather the information for it.. Besides why would I want to keep that part in a book the mean part. So I will make a layout of hubby and I.. When I first seen it reminded me of the Mean. but I put thought into and can use it for the good.

It was so scary the other nite when he was having that seizure.. I had no clue what to do.. He's been okay..

This is one of the simplest pages I've done in ages I still feel it's missing something but quick it is and it works for now.. Picture on the page and goes back to 1989 how about that any hoo I guess I can always go back to it to add a few touches.. right now I just needed some time.. I have so little and I was so grouchy yesterday for having to work so much.. I took today(tonite) off if you call dishes, laundry, hanging clothes and going for a walk a nite off..

It's not the best of layouts but it's simple and felt so good to get something done.

Poor Little Puppy Dog not feeling good

My poor Dog was not feeling well tonite. I hope he's gonna be okay just not acting like himself. He has been such a good dog. He is a total people dog. Loves to sit in your lap and be pet. He also trys to tell me when it's to late and barks for me to go to bed. Loves to be brushed and absoutely adores my husband. He has become a big part of our family. He started out to be my daughters dog she wanted a SHIH TZU had to have him so we went out two days before xmas and got him long story.. left him to be sat at my brothers he was just a little ball 8 weeks old when we got him. She did not like the taking him outside and the picking up after him.. So my husband and I mainly took care of him She just likes the idea of the pet and loves him to death as we do..But just doesn't like that ..So he just became attached to my hubby and myself DD misses him but not the caring of him. He's by far the best dog I've ever had.. He's 9 gonna be 10 soon. and so the vet has said they last anywhere from 8-12 years average He says it varies on the dog. So he's right in between there not to long ago I had a scare with him for no reason he just started flippping like a fish on the floor and it was so scarry then he couldn't walk the lady across the way drove me to the pet hospital and he was okay they ran test and all but says that he appears to be okay. I don't know if he's droopy cause hubby hasn't been here and he absoutely misses him ..The lady that takes him for a walk says he wasn't himself today.. Well hopefully hubby will be home tomorrow so he can be back to his perky little self.

Sunday lost an hour like I needed that.

Wow time is already flying today I got up at 3:00 and never went back to sleep I tried I got up started some labels and then before I knew it was 5:00 and I was gonna try back at 4:30 ugh..so I have started all my chores and I guess spinning my wheels. Hubby left 2:00 a.m for his trip will be gone for a few days. I have so much on my plate right now.. i so have to focus on getting it all done and be inspired.. I have to get my creative space all fixed.. i so miss running there for a hideaway I have so much to do and use and just can't get to it.. With two jobs I thought It was done but that's another story.. Oh well I can only do what I can.
BABY UPDATE..The baby will be okay for now everything seems normal they will have to wait as she develops.. The baby's Mother's father is another story..he is gonna be okay but they will now have to put a pacemaker in him.. If it's not one thing it's another.. Mom and Baby should be coming home soon... Thank goodness.
Well back off to work.. and Hopefully i can get some of my goals done this week...

Prayers are needed.

Well yesterday.. a friend of mines son was having his first baby.. It was born full term Still born and the wife is in critical condition they don't know if she'll make it (28 years old) and her father had bypass surgery(2yrs ago) and collapsed after this ill turn of events so needless to say they need a lot of thoughts and prayers so that's was the drama for yesterday..You just never know.. It's so,so, sad. I am hoping her Dad and her make it. So here everyone is all sad and depressed thinking oh my god what can we do Well phones calls were not wanted I can't imagine why.. You don't want to repeat it hundred times.. So after all this and everyone thinking the worse a Miracle the baby was not breathing for 45 mintues and no one knows what happen right now all the details persay to it but somehow the baby start breathing and its' breathing on its own.. No one is sure about brain damage or anything to that nature.. The Father will be okay just need some more observation cause of his heart and she is still in ICU and she will be okay just need a few days in the hospital on her for ovservation. Not sure about the baby.. But is that not a freaking Miracle or something you would see in the movies.? . So please keep them in your prayers that they survive this healthy and all. THis only happens on T>V>... Have a good day everyone.. I know mine was made I hope the baby will be okay.. I'm worried about that.

I use to have a great time on the old forum but for some reason they can't get me back on...UGH.. I don't live in Arizona anymore but oh well.

It was so unexpected and i was so excited i've been trying to be good not making purchases on whims etc Trying to be organized before I do anything like this anymroe etc.. and they read my mind.. It was so great.. But my original blue handle broke I paid to have it fixed but it still isn't right it's like six years old.. So I will either get the new black one and or the Revoultion haven't decided which yet.. If you go to WWW.Quickutz.com you will see the revoulution and see the Deisel Alpha bet I got.. Now to get teh Shadows.. I like the Spicy Chicken Alpha for the Rev.. Still think my birthday is soon So I might just get both the handle to travel and the rev to have will see Not sure just yet.. anyways I have lots of work to do.. I should not be playing.

ADHESIVE

So I am trying to get organized and normal people would think does she think she'll ever run out but you do and actually there is some for everything and I do need ribbon glue, metal and a couple other ones I haven't tried always looking for stuff that hold I like my drawers they are wonder.

Scrapbooking

So my girlfriend Debbie and I promised we would at least Scrapbook once a month together starting this year to get something done.. So that is next Saturday Her daughter and I are doing a crop for her We are making a two page layout each of us as a gift for her she took soem pictures on a vacation 1100 trimmed it down to 800 and then she still has a few to rid so her daughter went in and grabbed some photo's for each of us.. just ones that she knew her mom wouldn't want a special touch on and we will all make a layout for her to help out.. so were talking 20 down 780 to go hahaha We all get big girl party bags they are load with some scrappy stuff .. Togo for foods with a veggie tray for snacks.. I am so looking forward dto this we planned it in Decemeber and actually kinda forgot it was so close.. So today I will put the party bags together for everyone with the exception of the stuff her daughter has for them. The birthday girl will get a $50.00 gift certificate to spend that day at the store or when she chooses.. But she usually spends about 75.00 a pop when she goes to a crop so this will help her Not sure we will get to many layouts done but one is more than we started with.. It will be nice to get together and get this done.. For my birthday we are going to Scrapbook expo and might take a class we just havent' seen one that were crazy about so far so will have to take a vote I'm hoping to get a lot done this year.. I'll keep my fingers crossed.. My space is up but now I need all the stuff and the best way to have it organized.. So will see what happens.. If I could be a full time scrapper (for my own books) I have four crates of photo's to arrange in books oh my.. So I'm taking the best of the best and running with them. I am excited I ordered some stuff from keepsake Trends since I can't go over there which might be a good thing cause I want everything I see that I dnot' have it's so hard to make choices..They are very good however about trying to describe the stuff and getting it to you etc.. Glad to have found the storeand belong to their forum it gives you new encouragement and the ladies are really nice. Happy Scrapping everyone.

NEW SPACE

HERE IS MY NEW LITTLE COZY SPACE TO DO MY LAYOUTS, ALTERED AND CARDS.. IT'S NOT ALL DONE WHAT I HAVE HERE IS DONE I GOT THREE MORE BOXES ON THE WEEKEND SO THIS WEEK IS BUSY, BUSY.. IT'S NICE TO HAVE MY OWN SPACE..

HAPPY 2007

HAPPY 2007.... Well 2006 flew by they say the older we get the quicker time flies that seems to be true.. Hopefully 2007 will be a good year for everyone.. May any changes be for the better change is a scarry thing but sometimes it's just the getting use to it. I am thankful to still have my husband his heart attack really scared me he is my best friend in the whole world and it just wouldn't be the same without him. He is just the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never imagined one indivdual making you so happy. We had a few passings and may those rest in peace so many in the last two months. We need a break from that. My MIL lost her battle with lung cancer this xmas eve was strange without her she loved xmas eve the whole family gathered and she glowed. We still gathered in her honor it was important to her before she passed that this tradition remained. She never had a chance to hit the fantasy five and felt she would one day.. She did hit lottery before it chanced of about 3700.00 but it was her dream to hit the fantasy five. I try and play her numbers as I had the feeling that she would hit she was lucky when she gambled. That would be a fantastic 2007 but a one in million chance as well. Still waiting for our house to sell. I don't play the lottery, lottery to much cause that would be like lightening striking.hahahhaa. But would solve a lot of issues.. My DD could go to school full time and just work a small job for fun money. Well enough day dreaming back to reality.. Hoping that I can get settled in this new job I started I like it a lot so far... and get the place we are staying fixed up one room at a time and it takes time as I age I'm not as quick as I use to be. I am hoping to do more scrapbooking and get more of my stuff in books instead of gifts for others although those of you who love your homemade gifts will still get some.. I am focusing more this year on getting my pictures from crates to books. I hope that somehow we can find a way for my mom to move back she hates living where she does and by herself hopefully that will all change. Many things to look to change in 2007 and many happy time as I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary with hubby and going on an Alaskan Cruise yay. We are so so excited so I better get my books going etc.. Now that for Xmas he created a space for me pictures to post soon. May we all have a properous and Happy 2007

MERRY XMAS

MERRY XMAS Everyone.!!!

Well Santa was good to me as usual.. I have the best Santa husband in the world..I woke up to a room full of Ikea.. He is getting me organized in my very own craft space not room but space but I'll take it..yay just glad to have it.. We have had to downsize from our home in Arizona moving back to Calif. So it's literally half the size.. and only two bedroom and we have guests and kids that come so will be interesting.. Here is my mess before and then I'll show you the after effect.

Furbee and Summer

Well our dog doesn't play to much with other dogs and the new place we moved there is a dog that barks for him to go over she is a Shih Tzu to and the owners laughs cause she doesn't play with other dogs doesn't know her fascination with him.. But she will bark at her door to come out when she hears him.. They are both calm our pet is a big part of our family he is such a good dog which everyone says about their dog he really is a people person and so is summer so we took a couple photo's the lady just loves summer and if something happens I would feel terrible I took some photo's so I can make her a frame for xmas with a picture of her dog we took 25 shots of the dogs so i could get a good one of her they both hate pictures here there are.
