Scrap with a song

When I saw this prompt I immediately thought of my 40th b-day party. This pic of me and Heather is one of my faves. I love that song Girls just wanna have fun - in fact when it was popular I had a license plate frame made with that one there-dang it too bad dont have a pic of that!

feeling the blues today

Well today I have the Monday blues today. My Bff Tonya and her girls are coming to Memphis this week and I cant even get there to see them. Since we moved away we have seen each other at least once a year til last year. And I vowed that this year I wouldnt let that happen but sometimes as they say life just gets in the way. But it is only June so I am trying to be positive in knowing that I still have 6 months to keep my promise.

In honor of her I created this lo of our kids who have been the bestest of friends since Tucker was born-they love and they fight but they are always just the same-hooked at the hip. We have always joked and said they should get married someday cuz they act like an old married couple-LOL! I used the sketch from last week over at scrapbook challenges. For some reason that kite just spoke to me as if the Calhouns just flew away but they are still in our hearts. It is also the challenge this week over at Scrap Whispers to use the theme about flying so I thought the kite worked perfect for this one too-purtty awesome-2 challenges all in one lo. Well at least this post helped me bring my smile back. Hope everybody has a FAB Monday! toodles xoxo

NSD blog hop

Well it is finally here NSD and there are soo many online things to do. The first thing I have done in honor of this day is join the blog hop over athttp://scrapbookchallenges.ning.com/ Pamela has created a sketch just for the weekend celebration and its a goody. I cant wait to get started on it. Also if you have a moment go hopping on the blog hop too-great ladies to meet along the way. This is where you need to starthttp://www.pamelasworldofscrap.blogspot.com/ I have helped you out a little by posting here sketch here for you and if you join make sure to tell her I sent you-THANKS and enjoy . Oh wait heres one last stop for you and I will be back later with my take on the sketch-HAPPY HOPPING!

I'm back with my take on the sketch-I just love this one. This is my oldest son cooking breakfast with my apron on. Thanks to my babysitter for capturing this hilarious moment. When I saw the photo I immediately thought of the nickname that my babysitters son gave Bo when he was 5 yrs old(he is now 13) so thats the reason for this title. Now get going and get yours done!

TOOT TOOT TOOT

I must share the great news I received last night. One of my lo's was featured on Cosmo Crickets Facebook page yesterday(the one pictured above) To some that might not mean much for me its HUGE! As I venture around the online world of scrappin I have read about people being "featured" by a manufacturer and I never had the courage to submit a page. Well thanks to Julie Bonner and her wonderful sketches I felt a whee bit worthy of submitting this one. And WOWZA they took it. The funny thing is I didnt even see it and lord knows I am a FB stalker! =) Heather over at Simply Obsessed posted a congrats to me and I was like WHAT! To be featured by a Manufacturer is a sign of good stuff to me-not that I am trying to become some designer or anything but it sure is a nice pat on the back! It was only a little over a year ago I learned what a sketch was and how to use it-someone told me about the 52sketches site and I was hooked the first time I clicked on there. I truly feel like my scrappin has grown tremendously becuz of Julie and her awesome sketches and all the nice helpful ladies over there. Oh how i miss that place. So Julie if you are reading this give yourself a HUGE pat on the back from me and enjoy this acknowledgement with me!

What's your word

After reading the blog by Ali Edwards I did some thinking and realized the perfect word for me to concentrate on this year and apply to every aspect of my life would be "patience". Most important with my children but also in all aspects of my life. I know the Lord has a plan for us all I just have to have the patience to wait for it and take it as it comes.

I scrapped a page about my word so that I could remember it and why I chose that word-I plan to apply that word to all areas of my life. The lo is based on an awesome sketch by Diana Fisher over at Sketchy Thursdays. So tell me whats your word?

Let's get scrappy

Well thanks to Facebook I stumbled onto something really fun going on in the world of s-booking. Scrap-friendzy is having a sketch-a-thon. They will post a new sketch everyday in the month of January and have a prize drawing at the end of the month. You dont even have to complete every sketch to win. So far I have kept up thanks to the weekend. We will see how well I can do during the week. I have posted my first 3 entries below and my absolute fave is the one about Bo-called courage. I took these photos of his arms becuz i was soo paranoid about those dang bruises. I even took him to the doc so she could document they were from football-I was scared someone was gonna see him and report me for child abuse-LOL! If you get a chance stop in here http://www.scrap-friendzy.com/forum/ and have some fun!
