June LP Layouts

This one I hid the journaling behind the fisrt card.

You can barely see it but the journaling is along the bottom strip of PP.

Here are my June LP layouts. Forgot to post them.

The Beach

We went to the beach yesterday. Oh it was a much needed trip! With all the family drama I have going on it was so wonderful. The smell of the ocean and the sound of the waves and the breeze hitting my face. Oh it felt so good! We buried everyone in the sand. Boo Boo wanted to be buried standing up. So we dug and dug and dug and dug and the he crawled in and all that was left was his head. Of course we had to have a little fun with him while he couldn't move. The girls are getting real good at the boogie boards. It was just a real good day! I got some really great pics but I am having problems uploading them.

HOLY HEX!

Ok so I am so excited! 2 of my LO's are being put into the Basic Grey Gallery! Ok so anyone can submit stuff to the site and then they sift through stuff and if they like it they put it in their online gallery. I know some people wait awhile and never get their stuff in, Well I submitted 2 of my Birthday LO's , the 2 pager and the Birthday boy, seen below, and they emailed me last night and put them in their gallery. Check it out http://www.basicgrey.com/ go to the gallery and see them! WAHOOOO!!!!!! Be sure to click on the pic to make them bigger and see the descriptions. The 2 pager is fuzzy, but when you click on it it looks better. Why you ask am I so excited? Because I NEVER submit my stuff anywhere!!!!! I guess I'm just pretty humble and realize I'm not uber talented. But I really liked the cupcake line and did alot of Birthday LO's with them and thought what the hex I'll give it a try! Anyway Cool huh?

More LO's from the Crop

So this challenge was to use up some old stash. Old SEI paper and stickers. Journaling reads: Always be true to who you are and always Love who you are, Stay Silly! Love, Mommy
This was a random word challenge where we went to a word generator and it gave us a word and we had to scrap it. So my word was walk. Journaling reads:Nicolas, you will never walk alone! I will not let you. I will always take that walk with you. No matter what, I will be behind you 100%. Even after I'm long gone you will not have to look far to find me. I will forever be in your heart! So never fear taking that walk, cause you are not alone! I love you!~ Mom

This one was a challenge to use a neutral backround and add a POP of color. So my craft backround and the POP is the Blue, Orange and Black. The journaling just talks about what a nerd Ali is! HA!

This was one of my Birthday chalenges.

I only got 3 challenges done but I'm going to try this week to do most of them. There were some really cute mini albums I want to get done. Had a fun time! Still gotta get a BINGO winner! Better go call more words!

Beautiful kit

So today I got the most awesome kit in the mail from http://scrapperie.com/ now I have been getting there kits for months now. Yes I get the big daddy of all kits called Pièce de Résistance. They are just packed with the best goodies ever. Can I say tons and tons of cardstock and paper!!!!! I have not joined their MB yet but I'm thinking about it. Been lurking. Seems like a nice place. Go check them out.

I hurt my shoulder really bad. I do not know what the hex I did but I'm in so much pain I threw up. I can't move either shoulder cause it makes the one hurt really bad. Even just sitting here is killing me. I must have really slept on it wrong.

The kids went in the pool for 2 min and then BOOM! the thunder started. So now they are sitting around asking me if the storm has passed. I hope it passes so they can get back in the pool.

Well that's my boring life today. Oh ya I love my new fridge, except that it's stainless steel and every single one of my kids 40 finger prints show up and the I have to clean it every sec. Any good tips please let me know!

Have a great day!

Some LO's

Been scrapbooking. I have several more that I can't show because they are for an upcoming online crop, but I will show them next weekend.

Some little owl mini albums I made. The one is all about who I am. I am getting better at scrapbooking myself. Even though I hate doing it!

Yes the lyrics to the song are journaled on the side. Finally scrapbooking those dance pics.

This one was for Grandma. My daughter took the picture. Sorry I took this pic in the sun and it washed it out. Lots of stitching on this one! I did journal on the back of this one.

Ok so this is the worst pic ever of me, but I love that it's me and my daughter. This is my "wash and go" hair. I have really really curly hair and I never wear it like this. I always put it up and straighten it or have bigger curls. This was on Easter. No time that morning to fix the hair. Holy cow my head looks huge! oye vey! Anyway, inside the owl there is a letter to my daughter that I wrote her. It just has a lot of mushy stuff telling her how much I love her and that I always will and all that good stuff. I actually cried as I wrote it.

This is my Mom's dog and when she comes to our house she gets plenty of Love! DH told me not to journal on the front of this! How nice huh? So I wrote a story on the back!

SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!
I am so happy! I always cry the last day.....this year I cried cause I was so happy it was over! Not because I was sad. Now don't get me wrong, my kids do well and are little angels at school (don't worry my time is coming with Nicolas) but this year seemed to not go as smooth as all the other years. They all got straight A's and a ton of awards but it just was a stressful year. The school made some big changes and it took a toll on the kids. Anyway, I guess it will only get worse as they get older. Homework will get more intense and everyone will have busy schedules. So I guess I should not be complaining.

Next week Boo goes to basketball camp for two weeks. It's only half days and he wants to see if he'd like to be on a team. We have a hoop and he plays for fun but never been on a team. If he likes it I'll let him go out for a team next school year.

We got our Dance recital video in the mail a couple days ago and it's been non-stop dancing and watching the video. Lord help me!!!!! It was hard enough to get through the real thing, let alone watching it 50 times a day! It's so long it is 2 DVD's this year!

Anyway, summer is here, it is HOT HOT HOT here and I can't wait to just swim! Hope everyone is having a good start to summer break.

Build-a-Bear

Ok So I forgot to mention that a couple of weeks ago I took the kids to Build-a-Bear. Holy hex that store is so cute! I never took them because if ya get one kid something ya have to get all four kids something! So I knew it was kinda expensive. The animals are not what gets ya, it's all those darn cute clothes and stuff they have for the bears! Nicolas is worse then a woman. He had to have everything! He wanted all the shoes! I finally got him down to 2 pair! Of course we had to also have the spiderman costume too. WOW it was fun! Needless to say their animals are better dressed then me! Isabelle got the pink lepoard, Ali got a bunny, Nicolas got a monkey and Boo got the dinosaur. Nobody got a bear? I might just go back and get me a bear. They have a new Red, white and blue star bear coming out!

Oh ya Ali even got a wig for her bunny! A red one! HA!
