It's done!!

Well...for the most part at least. I need to add a picture to the first inside page because the one that WAS there got smudged, and I need to put the rings on it. The pages are done though! The photos are kind of crappy because it is late and I am tired and wanted to post them...I will take better ones soon. I hope you like it!!!

AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Well, since I can barely talk above a wisper, I can at least yell on my blog, right? My voice started getting raspy on Thursday, and on Friday I could barely talk. The weird part is that I felt absolutely fine...I just had no voice! Tonight is a different story though. I have been tired (and relaxing) all day, I feel like I have an earache coming on and cough up God knows what every two minutes. AND I still have no voice. NICE! haha Despite that, I had a good weekend. Friday while I was working, my husband and dad got our new furniture and set it up in the living room (it's so comfy!!) and Friday evening I did some cropping with my local scrap group. I was pretty productive...I only have two pages left to finish a 8 page mini album I am working on. I also got a Cricut Expressions!! I am soooo excited to have it! I bought 3 cartridges this weekend to go with it...Thank you Michael's for a great sale! I can't wait to play with it some more. Other than that we did nothing but relax. I am off to bed...I am hoping to finish the album either tomorrow or Tuesday, so I'll post pictures then!

Good Scrappy Week!

I just saw that I won Mary's blog challenge for The Scrappy Gourmet!!!! So excited to win one of her kits!

Annnd I am featured on the Scrapbookers' Clubhouse Blog for their Sketch #10 contest! Thanks to winning the Sketch #8 contest, I was able to do an example interpretation for the current contest that is running. Check it out!

Annnnnnnnd I finally have my MOJO back!!! I haven't scrapped for about two weeks thanks to this whole going from a SAHM to a Working mom, but I think I have caught up with myself and I worked on an altered project tonight. It feels really good!

Home

A new layout I did for a challenge:

The picture I took of it seems a bit crooked lol. PP is American Crafts...Letters are AC Thickers..."is" and swirls are by Luxe, and waves are Heidi Swapp rub ons.

Don't Ya Hate It?

Don't you hate it when you are going to say something, but have to wait to do it, and by the time you get a chance to, forget what you are going to say? That happens to me WAY too often, and it happened again! I had something that I wanted to share on here, but now, for the life of me, I can't remember what it was! Oh well...

On another note, I just got off the phone with the company who paid me short term disability after I gave birth, and they apparently sent my w-2 to my old, old address! I have no idea why...they started mailing the checks to my parents' house, so that should have been the last address they had. On the bright side, they should be faxing it today, as well as mailing it to my house. It's like all of those commercials out right now..."We really need that money!" Haha especially with CHA happening ;)

Zzzzzzz

Man, am I going to be tired uh...today! It's 2:45 am. I have to get bloodwork done today too for the new job I was offered. Hopefully I can take a nap when Preston takes a nap LOL Anyway...on the bright side, I got a really cute layout done!

The main things I used are from Scenic Route's Loveland collection. I love it! Hope you like!!

My Husband's Boots

My husband had his boots in the middle of the hall/walkway to the kitchen the other day, and the lighting seemed good so I was inspired to take a picture of them. It made me remember, once again, that even though his stuff is all over the place and I trip over his boots and/or duffle bag every night on my way to bed, how thankful I am to be able to trip over it. If it's there for me to trip over, it means he is home. It means he's not away from the kids and I fighting for our country. So...even though I have cursed his stuff laying on the floor MANY times, I am so glad that it's there to interfere with me, because I know that I am on my way to lay in bed with my husband.

On a side note...I can't decide if I like the white space in the left corner where the title is. It seems like it's missing something, but I can't seem to figure out what or if I should put anything there. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
