So Nicolas found this costume at Wal-Mart a month before Halloween and we bought it and he wore it for like a month. He wore his Frog costume on Halloween, but he loved this thing and wore it every day!!! He loves to dress up. So when I pulled these out tonight I new I had the perfect paper to go with them.
Went and got all the kids hair cut today. They look good! Bought my Mom a keylime pie and had it as a little treat. Florida has the BEST keylime pie ever!!!!! Just been chillin with my Mom and the kids are loving every second of her being here and just fighting over her. (She loves that!)

Last LP kit LO. I have so much of this kit left I could probably do 10 more LO's! They are so packed full! This is Nicolas on his 3rd Birthday. His wish was for "toys". HA! It is a 6x12, Love that size!

Well I have been cleaning all day. And now I am going to scrap this evening.

So another one with my awesome LP kit. I even broke out my sewing machine for this one. My son was so excited this year for his b-day! Thanks for looking!

Sorry for the double pics. I'm editing it to get it more clear.

Have I gone mad?

Ok so this is my new pet. Since I can't have the real thing I just had to have this cute litle thing! It needed some little clothes too. I had to go buy the kids something special for getting on the A honor roll's and I got them some Webkinz. I just could not resist this one. It is so siky soft. I said No more Webkinz and now I've bought one for myself? I need help! Ok now No more Webkinz. They do have these cute little carriers for them now so yes I had to get a few of those too. The kids are going to be so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Boy I hope my husband is not reading this. He went through the Beanie Baby craze with me about 11 years ago so he told me NO MORE! HA! It's probably a good thing that he is half way around the world right now! HA! HA! HA! We love you Bird!!!!!!!!

Those comments make my day. And I read all of your blogs. I am a blog junkie. He he. But some of you know that this month is a little crazy for me so I have not had time to leave you all love in return. Some of you have created new blogs and ya all are Awesome at keeping them up. I love reading them and seeing your projects and LO's. I swear things are starting to calm down here at my nutty home and I will be leaving you all some love too! I just wanted you all to know that I totally appreciate you!!!!! Muah!!!!!!!
Anyway now this weekend I have to "deep clean" my house!!!! The key is to clean faster then they can mess it back up! Have a great Friday!!!!

Day 17, Jan 17th

So here is day 17! This is also my DT work for LP. Isabelle loves "her"day. I always tell her she is the star of the day. Ater all how many kids get to dress up and go trick or treating on their Birthday?
And for all who asked yes I cut all those stars out by hand! No punch or anything. By hand. And I inked all the edges too! It's amazing what you can get done durning an episode of Mickey Mouse Club House! Anyway I am going to bed early tonight! WAHOOO!!!!!!!

Day 16, Jan 16th

Ok so here is my 16th LO! It is of my Dad and my son just hangin' out.

I got 2 of my 3 LP LO's done too. I'll post them all tomorrow when I get the third one done. I am really tired tonight so I need to go to bed. Good night!

scanner

Can I just say that I really need to learn to stitch my LO's together so I can scan them! Look how much better they look when you scan them! I hate Vista. I need to figure this out!

Day 15, Jan 15th

First of all can I just say 15 days!!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have done a LO a day for 15 days. For me that is huge. We are talking about the girl who can barely stay up past 8pm! Yes I get up early and go go go all day so I am not a night owl, but I have been staying up and getting my pages done. So here is my page for tonight. Having Fun In the Sun. It's my daughter in our pool in Belgium back in 2005. I just had fun with this one. It started out as an 8x8 but I thought it need more so I added the 12x12 cardstock and Jenni Bowlin paper. Ok gotta go work on my other LO's! Have a nice night!

Life Preservers kit

So I did get my kits yesterday and I'm working on my LO's. I have to say I'm a bit nervous! I actually started using the ALT. kit I bought, but I am going to use the featured kit for my LO's this month. I am going to get at least the required 3 done before I post them. No pressure!!!!!! HA! This is a CRAZY busy month for me so I am trying to do my best! I have to say I love the kit. I am not usually a brights person but with 4 kids and all the Birthday pics I have, it works out great!And can I just say the Vinyl orange thickers are AWESOME!!!! I have them in Cream color also, but those orange ones just plain rock!!!!!!!!!! And the felt and ribbon are yummy!!!!! Ok enough talk......I am off to scrap!!!! Everyone have a good night! I'll post my BP LO tonight too.
Oh and kudos to my kids who got all A's on their report cards!!!!! Now I really hate when parents think their kids are all that and constantly talk about them. Trust me my kids are not perfect, BUT I am super hard on them about school and they work so hard that they deserve credit when credit is due! Let me tell you I took concentrated college classes and some of these teachers send home more homework then I've seen!!! Crazy!!!!! Don't get me wrong we have fun and kick back all the time, but when it's time for the school work they buckle down. It's hard finding a balance so they don't get burnt out, but yet are not too lazy about it. AHHHHHHH the joys of being a parent. Let me know if anyone finds a handbook! HA! Anyway I just wanted them to know I am super proud of them!!!!! Isabelle still talks too much but hey if that's the worst thing a teacher can write about her then I think it is all good!
Anyway off to scrap!

Day 14, Jan. 14th

Ok so I am starting to just slap stuff on a page just to get this done! I'm exhausted! Here is day 14. The good thing? It's only 10PM not 12 or 1. WAHOOOOO!!!! I can get a little sleep tonight!

NEW Natural light pics

So these pics are a little more clear and true to color!

Day 13, Jan 13th

Ok so I will retake this pic in the natural light cause this pic is horrible, but I just can't get it in this dark house. So this is one of my all time favorite LO's I've ever done!!!! Is it an award winner? Probably not. Will it get published? Prabably not considering I don't ever try to get things published. Then why do you ask??? Well this totally symbolizes the goodness and the joy this hobby has brought to me! If I never would have started scrapbooking then I never would have met this beautiful person in my LO!!!!!!!! These pics show also that we are laughing and having a good time and that is what it is all about! I have met many wonderful women in this hobby and for that I am so thankful! I thought about CKU after and if it was worth all that money and Ummm.........it sure was! To spend time with my good friend and scrapbook with her was worth every penny!

The journaling reads: Yvonne and Rebecca, CKU Orlando, October 2007

The best part? Being with a good friend and sharing some laughs!

Oh and let me not forget to point out that Grungeboard that I just had a blast playing with! So awesome! I love that stuff!!!!!

Day 12, Jan 12th

ok another quick one! I know I keep saying that, but I looked up tonight and it was almost 11pm so I thought OMGosh I have to do something quick! So here is my Mom the Explorer. I'm not sure where she is so I am going to call her tomorrow and ask her. I thought it was Califorina but I could be wrong. She always writes on her pics and this one had nothing on it! Bad Mommy!

6x12 and I flocked the word explore. Pretty neat stuff! It's all fuzzy! So I will finish writing on it tomorrow. Well I got it done at least!

Day 11, Jan 11th

Ok this was a quick one! I had another bad night. Nothing a good night's sleep didn't cure though! I even cleaned my scrap space up this A.M. I sure hope I win a prize cause I am loosing a ton of sleep! HA HA HA HA! I am sure it is going to catch up with me soon! I am already getting burnt out. But I have been trying to find new inspiration in different places. Got some new stuff in the mail today so I think I will use that for today's LO! The kids are being pretty good playing "dress up" a huge favorite in this house!

Bird, I hope you are doing ok and look forward to getting an email from you soon! Love ya!

I am going to put something at the top of this but it was drying overnight!

Day 10, Jan 10th

Ok so It's been a crazy busy day and here I sit at midnight finally done with the day! Here is today's LO that I did in about 15 min! I have to say I like it! And I never say that!!! I like it because I love my daughter so much and I am so glad that her pretty little self is on there and I let her know I love her! Sometimes the day goes by so quick and you forget to say it and I just needed to tell her!

Day 9, Jan 9th

Did this with some supplies from my Secret Santa and the Dec. Scrapping jackpot I won! Really cool stuf. Thanks Ladies! Had a rough day so had to keep it simple!

DRAMA!

Ok so new year, no drama right? WRONG!!!!! The last couple of days has been Drama.....the first mess I tried to stay out of and keep away from the drama. I did and it felt good! Now today I go and stick my nose in some other mess going on and it's 11:30 and I have done nothing all morning! Let me just say people are rude and mean !!!!!!!!! OMGosh I get so upset and why do grown woman act like children? Thankfully I stayed calm and took the higher road. All because people stick there nose where it does not belong! Trust nobody either! A friend of mine was really hurt when certain people were airing her bussiness out to others! You can mess with me, frankly nobody is harder on me then myself, but don't mess with my friends or family. I get really upset! Thankfully I am the smarter person and will let it go. I have one last tie to this person and when that is taken care of the drama will be over. Until then I will not worry. It's just amazing how awful people are and how they are so not caring of others! And how they will do anything to cheat people out of money! Sick I tell ya! Greed will get you nowhere. Well it will get you somewhere, but we won't talk about that! HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!

Day 8, Jan 8th

So sorry for the glare but when you scrap after hours, that's what ya get! A big ol' glare! This is a PJ party that the kids had with Grandma. She buys them juice and snacks and movies and they camp out infront of the TV. The kids love it! I think this is from Sept 2006. Bad me did not write the date on the back!

Day 7, Jan 7th

Ok so this was inspired by Gabrielle. She did an AWESOME LO on the LP board and I lifted it! Thanks Gabrielle. I am going to add some more to the middle, just not sure what yet.

Day 6, Jan 6th

Warm Winter
I did this LO so quick! The longest thing was waiting for the paint to dry! It was so much fun! I did my journaling on the back. I just couldn't find the right spot on the front. This is one of my favorite pics of my daughter and I finally got to scrap it. I have a bad Migraine right now and can't believe I got this done. I had to stop like 5 times cause I thought I was going to throw-up!

I'll take a better pic tomorrow in the daylight. There is a glare from the camera. Can I just say I'm shocked that I have gone 6 days and I have actually done each LO every day! I thought I would just work ahead and that way I could skip a day, but nope, it's worked out doing 1 a day.

Day 5, Jan 5th

Here is day 5! I am so tired tonight and I just whipped this out. The placement is all wrong, but I am embracing the imperfection! HA!

This is my Dad flying and old WWII Bi-plane. He had a blast!!!!!!

Day 4, Jan. 4th

So here is day four. Sorry the scanner cut off the bottom half! Anyway we decorate cookies evey year and this was Isabelle's cookie! Another one for the Christmas album. I'll journal on the second page.

Day 4 is coming!

Day 4 is coming. I got it in the gallery yesterday, but I want to take a better pic for my blog. Working on day 5!

Day 3, Jan.3rd

Ok just did this one super quick. I used a sketch that a kit club was using for a contest. Don't think I'll submit it though. It didn't turn out how I wanted it to. OH well. Another one for their albums. This year I am trying to journal on all my LO's. Since my printer is still broke I'm limited to my own handwriting! YUK!

Day 2, Jan 2nd

Sorry about the glare....I took it outside and it was so windy that I just took one pic and ran inside. The pic of the tree really is nice and clear.

Ok so I am finished with #2 and it's only 4pm! Getting better! But next week my crazy life starts back up so we'll see! I hope I can keep at it cause I want to finish my Christmas pics from last year. Not all of them, just highlight the important parts. So this is the tree on Christmas eve last year. Can you see the floor? HA! My Mom and Dad spoil those kids rotten! MME paper.

Day 1, Jan 1st

1 LO a day for all of Jan.? Ok I'll give it my best shot! Considering this will be a long month for me............I'll try! Here is day 1
