One crazy week

Iam a little late with my post, but I had a notebook project due today for my furnitre class 19 hours of work, lots of printing, cutting and pasting. Tomorrow I have to shop for a new outfit for a wedding on saturday, get my nails done and take the boys for a hair cut all after work. Iam really not feeling this wedding but my Aunt and Uncle are renewing their vows, so I kinda of have to go. Thank goodness for a long weekend.

Okay enough rambling, the something big I had to share was the bella swap I participated in. I received some fabulous cards 19 to be exact and get this each person stamped their bella on a seperate piece of paper for others to use as they wish. I created to cards so I got double back WOOHOO. Thats 34 new bella images I didnt have so take a look.

Heres my contribution, I showed these before the new camera




The whole shabang










Look at all my bellas, are ya drooling?



Well I wont post for a few days, probably sunday. Have a fantastic weekend, I plan on grilling some real meat on the grill ( ribs and corn )

Just stopping in for a quick second

Well its been quite a busy weekend. I have not created a thing, but I do have something fabulous to share. I promise you wont be disappointed. Friday my hubby and I went to Stuart Andersons for happy hour, I am not much of a drinker a glass oaf wine here or there, well my old coworkers were there ( unexpectantly) its been 10months since I have hung out with them. So much fun. I spent saturday at the beach with the girls and my 2 sons. It was a perfect day, cool water, yummy snacks and some night cruising at the open promenade mall after the sun set!! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Come back tomorrow.

More Bella and More ribbon

So I took all my little spools of ribbon half American Crafts and half Targets 3spools for a buck ribbon. I love how GREAT they look in the jar. You know I have come to realize that I like alot of my supplies because they are so PRETTY and they eventually look really good on my creations BUT more so for how well they look sitting around me. I can NEVER have to much ribbon. Going into a craft store I always check out the ribbon first, especially the dollar bins!!! GOTTA LUV IT, right?Right!

Happy Mothers Day

Too all you mothers! I hope every one had a fantastic day with their families. I had the day off, no cleaning, no coking YEAH. I attended church and back home, dinner was ordered in and I sat here and did what I wanted to do. I received a very nice card from my hubby, he always picks the sweetest cards,(her really take is time reading and choosing the right one) I got my spring/summer robe. I put it on around 4pm and enjoyed every minute of wearing it. My card is not a mothers day card, its a color challenge. Iam not as fast as other bloggers. But Iam doing my best to create the challenges and just create something. Heres what I have for today, Marjories challenge #17.

Hello Monday

See, I told you I would be back soon. So I have a new addiction fresh juice drinks from the newest place down the street. Its called Robeks and they are yummy, we have a Jamba juice a couple of miles away but its not convenient enough for me. This place is a hop skip and a jump from home. I have tried several types of choices but I think my favoite is the Mahala Mango with a powerbek for energy, but I believe the boost is keeping me from sleeping at night. I will have to try a new boost, but the juice is definately staying


The yahoo bella groups color challenge, I did not participate personally but took on the challenge anyways. I need these challenges to keep me going, thanks Sparkle of sparkplug17.livejournal.com(check out her site its AWSOME!!) So here goes.







Heres a picture of the Poppy reserve near my home, every spring we wait to see how the poppys will bloom. This year they are beautiful take a look. If you see a x just left click it and the pic will open.

Mid term and work have kept me quite busy, Iam so exhausted when I get home. Well the camera is a dream and I will share just some of my early shots. I have a a few new weekly goals to help me get more done and keep my creativity flowing here they are

1. Do 1-2 challenges a week
2. Create a card everyday
3. At least 1-2 layouts a week
4. Squeeze out 2 projects month

that should keep be MOVING, MOVING, thats a song I keep thinking of and cant remember anything else about the song!

So a little self portrait session with MWHA!
