8 Week Contest

Yep, I'm in one and my mojo is being tested! lol Stop by Creating Pages and see all the competition. This contest is very challenging. You are given a different guideline each week for a layout to be uploaded. After 8 weeks the design team will judge them and there will be a winner who then receives a great prize from Creating Pages! It's really a great site to belong to, stop by and say hi!

FUN and productive weekend!

We attended my hubby's work picnic at a local amusement park. The kids had a blast and were totally worn out and sun kissed from a long day! I spent most of Sunday deep cleaning my house. Can't beat the feeling...sometimes when you clean and you really feel like you've gotten somewhere, kwim??? lol I'm scrapping some this evening, are you?

feeling scrappy lately

sorry about the bad scan...I've come to realize my scanner HATES lumpy stuff. lol These two layouts are of my baby, Brody. One I went back and found a few of his first photos to scrap and remember how sweet and innocent he was. The other is of him now, he's 1 1/2 and keeps me on my toes. My how they change! {scrappy hugs}

p.s. I'm feeling MUCH better...thanks for the well wishes girlies!

flu.

i have it. my daughter has it. my baby has it. my son is getting it today. somehow hubby hasn't gotten it YET! i guess that is a good thing considering it made him able to go on a late night grocery trip for 7up and soup. i don't remember being so violently sick before. it's day 3 and my body aches and i haven't eaten much of anything. it's even harder trying to care for a 1 1/2 year old while i'm sick. hubby helps when he is home. i missed applying for a dt i wanted to try for but i guess this is a sign. lol (well, it sounded good anyway. tee hee) i can't sit up very long so i will keep this short. i don't wish this flu on anyone. stay healthy!

One AWSOME father!

Josh is a wonderful father, great provider, understanding and supportive companion. He takes time out to share those little moments with his family. We are TRULY lucky to have him! Enjoy your "father" figure this weekend...and every chance you get. {hugs}

Design Team desires...

Well with a busy start of summer with my children beckoning my constant attention I have had to put my artistic wants on the back burner. I'm trying to split myself in two for a bit so I can focus on a couple design teams I would love to be on. I will not speak too much about them for fear of jinxing myself. hehe

June Blog Challenge!

I challenge you all (that blog) to create an entry about your father or someone who fills those shoes in your life.

This is my father. I've been lucky enough to have a close relationship with him and we communicate daily. I couldn't imagine not having my father in my everyday life. I know not everyone is as lucky. He works on the railroad. He enjoys his motorcycle but would rather be out boating and fishing. He has owned an auto sales business in the past and is an awsome mechanic (what a perk, free labor)! He loves to joke and visit with his kids and grandkids. He's not thrilled about getting older...but then again, who is?!? I truly love him.

Let me hear about your special man this month!

*Note: I haven't forgotten about my wonderful hubby. He will have his own post closer to Father's Day.

Graduating...

My baby sister graduated from high school yesterday! I'm super proud of her and can't wait to see what she does with her life.

On a scrappy note: I did scrap some last night and hope to have a layout finished and uploaded in a day or two. I need more scrappy time...help! lol
