Busy Week

WOW...it's already Wednesday! This week has been really busy! School starts Friday, so we spent most of last week completing our shopping list for school. Once we get the backpacks from the monogram shop, we're ready to go!

Keileigh had to get 4 shots for kindergarten and she was AMAZING!! The nurse giving the shots was an angel and Keileigh only said a low "ouch" with the first one! Needless to say, the Barbie she's asked for was her reward for being so brave!

Saturday and Sunday I scrapped a bit! CSS held the "Endless Summer Crop" and although I didn't get much accomplished on Saturday, I did Sunday. Here are a few of my creations:











My 4 Generations: Me, My Grandmother, My Mom, and Keileigh Photo taken when Keileigh was 1 day old!





Last night, I made my card for PageMaps, but I can't share until the September newsletter comes out! Once it's released, I will share with you all!!!

I MADE THE CSS DT!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG....can this week get any better???? First my bday was awesome....and now this!!! They just announced the new Design Team members at Creative Scrap Shack and I am now PART OF THAT TEAM!!!! WAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Congratulations goes out to Martha and Jules as well!!!! You all have no idea how much this means to me! I almost didn't try out, but then decided to do it and then didn't think I had much of a chance....LOTS of talent in this call!

I can't wait to share my creations with you all! Speaking of that, I am at CSS today all day for a CROP!!! Come visit if you need some inspiration!!!!

CSS ROCKS!

Are you a BAD GIRL???!!!?

OMG this site is just YUMMY!!! I saw a post about it on Zarah's blog so my inquiring mind got the best of me! Ok, I am just plain nosy and OMG....the colors alone would keep me visiting this site!!!! It's called BAD GIRLS....and I also see my pal Cari Fennell (who is a major deal in the SB world IMO) there on the DT!!! So, now I have placed my logo here hoping they check me out!!! There is a chance to
win a RAK if the Patrol finds their logo on your site, in your siggie, etc.!!!

32 Years Ago.....

32 years ago, my parents welcomed a big baby girl! ROFL I was considered "huge" back then, and now I would be average! Anyhow...yes....today is my birthday!! WOW...I can remember thinking 30 was "old" and always wondered what it would be like to be 30-something. Well, I can attest I really don't feel any different than I was at 23. There are differences though: I'm wiser, I'm more confident, I'm more emotional....but when I look at myself...I don't see an age; however, when my body aches, I totally feel way older than 32!!!! ROFL

My day is going to be great! I get to hang out with my kids, eat a great lunch (with my fav dessert: Millionaire Pie) at my mom's house; go to karate and then later tonight meet my dad and his wife for supper! So, I plan to have a HAPPY day!

********************************************************

Last night I finally did some scrapping! I'm very behind on my July CJ with one group, but in an hour, I had 2 pages I am very happy with! We had to scrap our favorite holiday, without using Christmas OR duplicating one already used! Well, I LOVE Christmas from the reason for the season to the fun stuff, and birthday was already used....so I had to get my thinking cap on! My friend Carol and I tossed around ideas and I came up with Groundhog Day!!! This year was so fun waiting to hear about the little guy because my son was aware of this particular day now and he was thrilled when the groundhog came out before we left for school!!! It was very exciting for him, so I have a new found love for Groundhog Day! LOL

Lots to tell!!!

First....I am very excited to announce that I have been published in the August/September 07 addition of Ready, Set, Create!!!! I am on page 36 of the first set with my LO "True" using Scenic Route!!! Next I am on pages 119-120 with some altered tins I made for Teacher Appreciation Week in May!!! I am so very excited!!!

Second...a friend of mine from CSS...Tam...is now selling her Whatchamadoodles in the CSS store! You really should check out her mini albums and her handmade ribbon flower buttons! OMG...too cute!

Third...I have HOLLY BUTTONS!!! OMG...you need some buttons! Holly is my sweet friend from WeB who custom makes buttons with LOTS of yummy details on them. She was a doll and sent me a few and I cannot wait to use them! I have some other things ordered from her, so once they are in, I will definitely post them here! Check out her buttons and bling here: http://scrappybuttons.blogspot.com

But for now, here is a pic of the buttons she sent me:
