Late start…

well for blogging that is.  We had hair cuts for the kids today and I got mine cut a little in the front.  I love it so far.

Just a few bangs, I haven’t had bangs in forever!

I have been crazy busy scrapping today and yesterday.  I think I did 3 pages yesterday and at least 4 today.  At least 3 of them I can’t share yet.  One is the dare for tomorrow and the others are for a kit that isn’t going to be released until July 1st.  Here are the ones I can share though.

With all my pictures, if you want to see them closer up just click on them and they open up at full size.

Not too much else going on.  It’s so hot here that the kids are staying in most of the time.  It’s just too hot to stay out for very long.

I got my Robin Hood DVD’s and my Nikki Sixx book yesterday.  I got the 1st episode of Robin Hood watched, but the book is in a LONG line of books that I am reading.  I may just carry it around and read a bit here and there.

We also watched Spiderwick Chronicles last night.  It was pretty good.  All the kids stayed awake for the whole thing, so that’s usually a good sign.

Well, my tea is getting ready to boil…

Have a great afternoon!

Books!!

I LOVE books…I have been reading ALOT lately too.  I found this cool site, thanks to Andrea, it keeps track of the books you have read, what you want to read and what you are currently reading.  Check it out here…Goodreads, I love it, in fact, I need to go add the 3 newest books I have to read.

I just finished these by Gena Showalter

and I am, not so patiently, waiting for this one!

I read that there is going to be 3 more of them, but not for a long time, I don’t know how long I can wait!

So right now I am reading this book

I am a little over 1/2 through it and then there are 5 more that follow it, I have all but the last one.  I am hoping that it will be out in paperback soon though, I don’t want to buy it in Hardcover if I can help it.

I also picked up these over the weekend, they will be next on my list and hopefully they will bring me up to August 2 for Breaking Dawn!

Still no layouts.  I have to do my dare one today, so hopefully that will get me back in the scrapping mood.  I also have a few new CT things to play with so that will help!

I have to get lunch started…

Have a great day!

I am WAITING for Jake to come home with this…

I have been waiting for like 6 weeks for this CD!!  And yesterday I FINALLY bought this book off e-bay, I have been wanting it since it came out and I finally broke down and bought it.

I LOVE Nikki Sixx.  I guess you could say he is my “older” guy crush…

Maybe it’s all the tattoos, I have an obsession with tattoos even though I don’t have any!  But he looks pretty darn good for an almost 50 year old….don’t you think?

I also bought this off E-bay over the weekend and I can’t wait for it to get here!

I haven’t done any scrapping since my last post.  Maybe today…

I did start exercising again yesterday and I feel really good today.  I have managed to string together 2 days in a row so far!  Eating good too, hopefully I can start getting this weight off again.  I think I am up about 18 pounds since we moved into this house…add that on to the 70 I still needed to lose and you see that I have my work cut out for me!

Well, I gotta go dry my hair and then get lunch started…

Have a great day!

Lazy day

Today is a lazy day.  I need to clean my house, but I don’t want to!  Michele and I are working on a new project.  It’s going to be a fun one and I hope it will be a big hit!

I did end up scrapping a Robin Hood page yesterday.  I LOVE IT!!

I watched this last night and it was really good…how could it not be…

Lots of Matthew running around looking like this

There is NOTHING wrong with that!!

That’s all for today…have a great one!

A proper post!

I guess I really should do one this week!  There really isn’t much going on though.  The kids have been out of school for a few weeks and I didn’t realize how nice and quiet it was around here when they were gone.  They are about to drive me crazy now!  I would love nothing more than a whole 24 hours to myself…really.

I watched this movie last night at it was fantastic.

120440_01_272w

The teenager Melinda Sordino (Kristen Stewart) joins the high-school with a great feeling of rejection and becomes practically mute. Her school mates and friends call her “squealer”, because she called the police during a summer party; she does not have communication with her mother, Joyce Sordino (Elizabeth Perkins), who is workaholic and is permanently busy; and she has problem with a very radical teacher. She finds a great support with her arts teacher Mr. Freeman (Steve Zahn) and her school friend David Petrakis (Michael Angarano), and recalls her traumatic experience in the summer school, when she was raped, learning how to deal with the situation and reborn mature.

Kristin Stewart is amazing, but I REALLY enjoyed Steve Zahn in this movie.  Honestly, I like him in everything I have seen him in, but I loved his character in this movie.

I guess I should post the layouts I have been doing lately, really there are just a few.

And this one I wanted to save back to enter into the MMM contest this year, but I used a stock photo and they don’t allow pages with stock photos…this is probably one of my favorite layouts that I have ever done.

I really am obsessed with Robin Hood lately…I don’t know why.  There is something so sexy about Robin…I think I may have to do a scrapbook page about him!

Well, I am off…I don’t really have anything to do, but I need to figure out what I am going to do for lunch today!

Have a great one!

Just Because

I love Robin so much…

NKOTB

Have you heard their new song?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvpo_8ppHSg]

Now I was a big NKOTB fan back in the day, but come on “boys” its almost 20 years later…time to sing some big boy songs!  The lyrics seem so juvenile to me, talking about bikinis and mini skirts…I don’t know, maybe it’s just me.  I will say that Jordan and Joe still look and sound DANG good.  Donnie was always my favorite back then, but he really hasn’t aged well!

**ETA – ok, maybe I was too harsh…I have been listening to the song over and over and I actually kind of like the song!  I don’t take back what I said about the big boy songs though!**

Stealing an idea!

for my banner that is!

I snagged this idea from Emily. I just wish my template was not gray on the sides…I may have to upgrade so that I have more flexibility with the templates…

What I have been working on lately…

It in the store today and we are so happy to see it there!  Click on the picture to take you to buy the kit!

Here are a few pages that I did using the kit

That last page is one of the Quick Pages that I put together for the kit.

That’s all I am going to post today!

Have a great one!

What a busy week!

I was so busy all last week working on a special project with Michele.  Here is a little sneak even though it’s not really a secret anymore.

We are working out the final details and it will be in the shoppe tomorrow.  I will post the add and all that fun stuff either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I did get some scrapping done this past week in the midst of uploading files, working on previews and sending out hundreds of links.

I guess I did more scrapping then I thought since the last time I posted layouts!

There really isn’t too much else going on.  Lots of storms and rain here.  I am going to try to get back to posting daily again…hopefully!

Have a great day!
