ATC Swap I have been working on...

So I finally finished all those buggers! I had three catagoriesX 20 EACH, why do I do this to myself?). I had July, December, and St. Patty's day. My friends over on Two Peas and I did this swap and now we are embarking on a disney ATC swap!!! Ok here are some pics of my cards:

December

St. Patty's

I meant to tell you all that the St. Patty's cards are hybrid. All the pattern paper and graphics anyways. I will update with the artist names when I can open that folder again on my computer, I'm having a little trouble this morning. Anyways they were all free downloads!

July
My very talanted mom did the water color on the suns and shorts of the penguins. Can i just say these make me happy!!!! Just look at them! thanx for all the help mom!
oky doky, stay tuned tomorrow for some wonderful pictures of hand crafted paper flowers made by my mom. You are gonna love them!! SERIOUSLEY!!!!!!

It's been 3 years.......

since I lost my wolf Duna (Dune - a). I can not begin to express how much I still miss her. She was our baby! She was the most loyal companion and friend that anyone could ever have. Here is a picture of her. stay tuned tomorrow for an update on the stuff that I have been working on, but today is her day. also my pups are recovering nicely from their surgery although my wolf is taking a little longer because of the size of her incision I beleive - it's huge!

MEMORIAL DAY

Happy Memorial Day! Please take a moment of silence and be thankful.

Today I am still homebound with my puppies. they got spayed on Friday and are moving around much better today, but they want to lick their huge ass incisions and they are not wearing cones so I have to make sure they don't lick. They are sleeping quite a bit still and on pain meds so we plan on hanging out together this week!

today I will be finishing up some swap projects I hope! I am anxious to start on my disney ATC's. My catagories are Monster's Inc and Tink. I can hardly wait to start those! for your viewing pleasure I have posted a picture of me and Sully. Oh and can you believe that I absolutely heart sully and had not seen the movie until yesterday!!!!! What an adorable movie and character that sully portrays! And the little girl calls him "KITTY" in that sweet little innocent voice!



Well I am going to get started on my projects and I will post pictures of the projects either later or tomorrow!

Make it a wonderful day!

Mother's Day

I've been sorta busy lately making things. I worked on some Mother's day cards and a wall hanging for my swapping pal on Two Peas. I also made a card for my mom, but I have to get the photo from her, then I will post it :) so here are a few things that I worked on last weekend:) the bottom 3 pics were for Mi'chel. she was my swap partner for 2peas Mother's Day swap. the top 2 was a card for My Mom-in-law. I had great fun using my new border punches from Martha Stewart!

I hope you all had a terrific Mother's day! If you're not a Mom, I hope you spent some time with your Mom. It's important to spend time with the best woman in our life! I spent the day scrapbooking with my Mom. It's always so much fun to create with her as she is a far better artist than I, and I can always rely on her to help me get my stuff just right! THANKS MOM! I LOVE YOU!

Time Flies

I can't beleive how fast time goes by. Here it is already Wednesday and I have so much I need and want to accomplish! I need to scrap and alter a million things. I also need to mail 26 soup recipe books that I hosted for 2peas. I will be glad to get those all out of my living room and on to their proper owners!

I have been at my mom's cleaning out her junk and helping her make a scraproom! I don't even think we have a projected finish date but it is coming together and looking good and organized!

I visited a blog this morning and found a link to another blog that is giving away some blog candy, so if you read this go on over and leave a comment and get entered to win! The blog I'm talking about is All that glitter, go check it out! http://kath-allthatglitter.blogspot.com/2008/04/big-blog-candy-mountain.html

Well I guess I better get my butt in gear and go pay some bills or I'm not gonna have cable, phone, internet, or a cell phone!

I'll try to get back here sooner than later.
Hugs to all

Over the weekend...

I went to Lake Havasu to see the in-laws :) They were vacationing there for a week from Utah. It was a very long day of driving and fun in the boat, but so worth it. I just wish we had been able to stay over night so that we could have had more time with them. We had to come home as we had no one to take care of the pups. I have posted a picture below of one very small area of the Lake!




the last time I had been there I was a teenager. It sure has changed! It has a population of 45,000 now and is quite a tourist attraction as The London bridge is there. Yes the original London Bridge was bought by the founder of the city and it was moved piece by piece and rebuilt in Lake Havasu. It's quite amazing!



I have been really bad about adding to this blog. I had another one but decided to change over to blogger instead. We'll see if I can try to keep up with this one.



Today, over on two peas there is a link to Dragon flaire Studios blog and if you link her blog in yours there is a chance to win a book. Her link is in my links up at the right hand corner. I would really like to have this hybrid art book with the digital goodies!

Well I hope you all have a great day if you read this!

today...tonight rather.....

Tonight rather wil be a week since my son's best friend committed suicide and my son and a few others found him. I cannot even describe how devasted all of us are. we had no clue he was in trouble and had we known we could have gotten him through this..... or could we have? apparently tho there was a prior attempt and his girlfriend told no one. soooooooooooooooo shame on her and she will have to live with that.

Services are this Saturday and I know this will be the hardest day to get through.

On a more positive not I am trying to still create and have a million things to finish for some swaps!

Hopefully I will get back on here in a few days to load some pictures of some thigs I've done lately.
