Break from the daily Grind

7 MONTHS OLD NOW

These little guys are now 7 months old.. They are adorable not all the time.. They make you laugh at some of the things they do.. Very Entertaining... They love to eat Mail scrappy, or bills, adds you name it comes thru the mail hole and they are right there to munch on it... We are trying to figure out something to put there so we can make sure they don't eat the totals off the bills or take them and put them underblankets till the day they are due.. Gotta love it..

They pretty much do everything together Wherever one goes the other follows they have to be in the same room when sleeping... If one gets locked in a room by accident the other one will sit outside the door and cry..It's really funny how attached to each other they are.

June Already

I can't beleive almost a half year has gone by.. Where does time go..

I have a lot more scrapping to do if my gifts are gonna get out this year..

I made a post back about a couple new ablums I 've designed.. but the

laser is broke at the time and just waiting for the piece to repair it so that

the albums will be cut.. I can't wait will be fun to play with them...

Other exciting news soon to follow so Keep watching......

Tiny bit of Mojo from weekend

Queen Mary
way back to 1999

Teaching the Basics to MOM

My Mom has decided that she wants to dabble in card making to give her something to do..

We went to get her the basics and very basics at that... She is excited and this is the first one

we did together...up above.. She loves purple and flowers.. She was like a kid in the candy store

looking at all the flowers.. So hopefully I'll get a chance to come back and do some with her soon.

I told her not to branch out to much.. It becomes addicting... She was happy with the two cards she did... She learned a lot and right.. Well it's off to the airport.. Then to help hubby at work..

I will be working Monday to.. as I will be needing probably to take some time off this week.. So

Everyone Happy Sunday and Happy Memorial Day...Monday

ALSO I Have Designed a couple of new Albums for fun.. Hopefully they will be out soon...

Cuteness, Cuteness..hehhehehe

Off for a Quick trip

Embellies below
DH family at nieces graduation.. 12 of us 6 on first level 3 and 3

Wow times flies when your having fun.. Was gonna scrap this weekend but need to drive My mama back to Az.. Hot Hot Hot... So I will be leaving 2morrow and returning Sunday.. Fun in the sun lol.. No scrapbook shopping this time at the scrappy store.. just to Hobby Lobby for the punch fetish I'm having... at the time.. DD went last week and got me the new Embellies for

K & Co Sweetie Birthday N General Birthday plus she bought some cupcake embellies and a stamp with a cupcake on it for me.. Ya.. I just got the Sea Glass collection embellies now to get all the paper I only got two sheets the others were entirely sold out.. and I don't see anyplace having the tablets.. So off on a chase for these no rush I'm sure they will be around for a bit.

In return DD will get the Berry Sweet Collection it's very cheery I got lucky with this one cause someone asked me to buy it and they found it and picked it up. I love the bright and cheery but think I will use for summer cards not sure about scrapping it.??? so now it will be going to good fun home she loves cheeries and strawberry stuff along with Penguins.

I'm hoping that I get a few more layouts before Months end done I have accompolished more than i thought...

Here is a picture of DH's family.. We went to a graduation not the best picture it was hot and we left after they called her name..

More for the month.

I have not scrapped one page from this vacatin and there is tons of photos this is the first
I can't beleive how much time has flown by.
photo shoot by Jessica Mandile
I had started this layout at least 5-6 times but kept puttting it away.. I think it was the shape and color of the paper. but it's done now.

Finally finished after several attempts.

Cards for the celebrations this month.

For Christoper
For Melisssa
For Karen
For Meghan

Now to get my act together for more layouts.. Just no time.. If I could just be left for three days a month I would get so much done.

A Few More Complete PROJECTS

I Can't beleive how fast time flies..
the cutest note left on my door by DD says Happy Birthday Mom I love when I came home from work that was 4 years ago...
Finally I did a card challenge and used one of my new punches heeheh

It's getting hot boy... I hope for some more mojo here soon.. I need to get things done and in books

Convention in April.

This is a progressive layout done by...(Tonya, Karen, Teresa, Kristi, Debbie,Rachel,) We had five minutes each to do some piece on each persons layouts it was a lot of fun.. I did this my very first time at Angelina's.. had a lot of fun doing it..

My Poor Computer is away I miss it.

I don't know what happen to the casing one day I opened it and it was like that but I can't take the chance of losing my info either so it was give it up for 7-14 days or buy a new one.. So it's in the shop... It's weird where the casing came off.. and of course they called and says it's not under warranty.. What a surprise that was to me.. Of course to them it doesn't matter how many days it takes.. I just wish it ws back hard working on other peoples computers

You Just never know

Well Mother's Day started off great.. Went to the family barbeque and we were blind sided with my aunt news.. She had surgery back in January .. They told her they got the tumor and felt they got everything out and that with a few rounds of chemo all would be back to normal. Well it's far from that.. She has been thru four rounds of it and nothing has stopped it's growth. It is running like wild fire thru her body the doctor says and was furious the surgeon would have said this to her. So she says to them to be frank what other options she says bascially I'm gonna ask you do you want quality or quantity..This has now run thru your blood stream, in your lungs, in your breast cavity and we cannot stop it so basically we don't know what else to do. My aunt has a postive out look on it of course she does not want to die. She has one son her husband pass on almost 10 years ago and has grandbabies. She says but her time is up all she can do is make the best of it. She doesn't know what's she's gonna choose I know it's hard to make judgements when it's not you on what to pick. I just pray and hope everyone prays that she may go peaceful instead of in misery. She's in her mid fifties.. They say it all happens for a reason but just don't know what it may be.. So cherish what you have today tomorrow may be a whole new story!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Teresa in class taking reading directions
More to follow but here is a slight recap

The weekend flew by so so quick.

We went to the Mesa CKC classes.. Not sure that I would load up on much as I did this time.. I certainly won't really be doing layout classes for me personally a couple reasons one is your not sure what paper your using so you dont' always bring the right photos if you predo the page you don't know which way or size your photo's are so I find that hard on me The projects are such are another thing.. I did enjoy the card class Pocket full of cards..

The Canvas class was great now I'm not afraid to use them. Here is some pics Recap of the weekend.. Fast and quick I tell ya I needed another day I'm dragging today.. Then in Two weeks National Scrapbook day going to Palm Desert Retreat... I hope to get mucho done there.

Happy Monday.

Happy Monday all.. I will get some pics up soon dunno what happen to the layouts in one post but I'll get something current up.. I just need some more coffee goodness.. Busy week getting ready for the Az convention.. The week will fly by...

Don't forget your Taxes are due 2morrow.. Good luck.. mine are ready to go.. Finally so first thing in a.m. I don't want to be a postal worker 2morrow yikes.

My coffee boy sometimes that's all it takes is a nice cup of coffee and a good friend to talk to and your troubles are gone for that time...

DD finally got her promotion officially today..Very proud of her.

Cards for Sale

but not by me...

April Hall has a new Etsy Store she is still in the works of setting it up...
Here is her blog she has a lot of cards there you can look at that may end up in the store

So hook it up to your blogs and go take a sneek peek.

Here is the replacement

Here is our replacement van... off the showroom floor into our parking structure.. I'm just still angry there is no need for this if we would not have been rear ended so needlessly... We are still arguing with the insurance because they don't think our inconvience is a big deal... We need to change everything over and switch insurance companies that will be a start.. At least there is wheels in the driveway for now... Onward and forward

Saturday

I don't know what happen on my last post.. I obviously am not a computer Scientist.. so..Oh well.
I'll repost some of the stuff later...
I can't belevie we're on the 5th day of april amazing...
Got a new Car last nite... Just another Van nothing Fancy smancy at this point I would be willing to have gone without one.. or maybe put a bumper sticker.. That says i'm insuranced by insurance Company name please don't hit me. We are changing insurance companies after 26 years.. Change is good they say... We have fought to just get what should be ours not to mention anything extra still has not been negotiated.. I'm drained this month because of it...
So when i get a chance.. I'll post a picture of it.. It's got extra in it.. leather seats I'm not a fan of you slip and slip.. At least I know have a CD player and DD loves the fact that there is a DVD player in the car..
So enough on that hoping to get Scrappyness done will post later

I've been swamped with all kinds of work and stuff

So I'd thought I'd have a cup with ya all.

Perfect for Javagirl

Is this not the cutest die you've ever seen well for Javagirl there is no other..

CAN I just say .....

Insurance is the worse to deal with I can't stand it.. I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown... First they say one thing then another.. You would think they would be accomodating see how I was rear ended..hmmmm.. well they have told us because it's the same insurance company that we will pay the deductible. They won't replace it with original parts no rental car till they say it's ok. So today hubby says we will stay and deal with them so at 7;30 he started and it's now 11:00 and we are still dealing with it.. Now for the health insurance we are dealing with so pretty much he is dealing with it cause they will literally have to lock me up... Now he goes to the dealer and they say ummm no it's illegal what they just did to you..He picks up the phone calls the insurance and says you are rail roading customer to preferred shops it's illegal they have a choice and the car is orignal and we will replace with orignal parts he gave three people name and some illegal penal deals and they said oh we just misunderstood how about that Also they changed their tune after my husband told them the lawyer told us we are not liable for the deductible since we have full coverage etc.. it's to funny how they said we must have talk to the wrong people.. Now everything is changing on how we misunderstood .. We DIDN'T MISUNDERSTAND.. they even said it's a conflict of interest cause they have the same insurance we do... on the phone.. So now we are keeping a log of who , what and when we are dealing and talking with.. I'm sure they will total the car which is gonna make me more mad... will see.. stay tuned for more wonderful drama with the insurance Company..
HAPPY MONDAY.

Happy Easter Everyone

Hope you all enjoy family time and have a great Easter... to you all...
