Gettin back into da groove

2009-09-23T20:19:00.000-07:00

Ok, I really need to get back into the groove of blogging! Kinda of hard to remember, after I was without my internet for almost 2 months. Hmmm... so let's give a update. Nothing much exciting happend ended up in the ER on 4th of July, had pulled a shoulder muscle so that was exciting lol. Haven't had my hair done in a couple months and it's killing me! I really feel like a crack head ( no not wha'cha think, the choice for me is drug free;) meaning I'm starting to fiend to get it done like asap. I just feel so ugly when my hair is not done! I'm one of those people who doesn't have to have my make-up on, but def need my hair did. Oh, yea had a boyfriend for a minute last month, kinda fun I guess, except I think he was bi-polar or something lol So uh yea, had to let that one go. So right now I'm just chilling. And looking for a new job. Still taking my photography classes, but had to quit my Child Advocate job, because of the hours and the bitch said it wasn't working out with me having kids and all, whatever!
Ok, so I really didn't get to much scrapping or knitting done, just alot of cleaning house, so that's a good thing I guess. But the new Dreamgirls challenge is up so come play along and first week of survior on Tallyscrapper (chill Lo) so I'll share those and hopefully my creative comes back, till then ta-ta lovelies:)
Oh, hey Tanisha lol and thanks for reading my blog girlie, hugs!

Yipee!! I finally got signed back into my blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh happy day.
Even thought I know no one really reads it but a few of my homies, but I just like
posting to it and adding my layouts. Our home computer crashed in June, so I lost alot of pics!! Was alil' sad since I hadn't printed out Christmas and the Christmas
programs pics from school so all of them are gone:( Plus some fall pics from last year as well. But I guess it's ok, now I'm on my brand new laptop I brought for my photography in like January!! it took some getting use to ,but I still need to learn how to add pics on this stupid thing!! Ok, so I've just woken up from a nap and it's almost 5pm. But I've been sick so I really need to go figure out what to have for dinner. Holla

It's getting hot in herre!!

2009-05-27T12:13:00.000-07:00

Yep, you gotta say it like you from da Lou' ( St. Louis people) Ok, I'm so dang hot and I really hate being hot, cause sometime I start to itch lol I think it had something to do from when I was preggo I really don't know. So I've just been running around taking care of some stuff, everything except my photography stuff right.. but I'll get to it soon. Talked to Tonya yesterday and she might come and help me out with the wedding I'm doing in Sept! It would be great to have here there. Well, that's if I ever get paid. My cousin was suppose to be making payments to me but has yet to pay me anyting, sigh... so I'm still waiting plus remember I'm doing the flowers but now she's waiting to see if some of the girls are going to get the dresses.
So next week school will be out, ok I'm not really thrilled. Need to find something for the kids to do this summer. I didn't have the money for baseball sign ups for Kylon this year, plus I missed it and would have had to pay extra so I told him he can play soccer come fall and we're suppose to put Tali in dance next month. Still need to find something for Tradjan to do, but would have to be something that didn't interfer with the dates he goes to his dad's. And I need to do something!! Me and my Godsister were thinking maybe a roadtrip.? but hey you need money, so we'll have to see. Ok, well better get off and tidy up the Diva's mess before the boys get home plus I've started back on my knitting I'm getting a little bit better. My goal come this fall is to be able to knit socks, because I really don't know where mine go. Just got done comments of all the lovely Dreamgirls entries we got!! so it's still not to late to submit yours and try out for the DT if ya wanna. Holla!!!

No fancy frills today peeps

2009-05-20T14:16:00.000-07:00

Yep, that means I really don't have a fancy smancy title (but hey, will someone Please, get my naked 3 year old out the front door!!!) Ok, so I've just really been busy, uhh...I think? I just haven't been doing too well, right now, more so mentally too many damn people in this family getting ill, hospital or about too die. Plus I have alot of personal stuff going on, so I'm tryint to stay strong and keep PRAYING!! Well my winter DT term for Dream Girls is up:( yep I'm sad to go, it's truely a wonderful design team to be on and a great group of ladies to be around. Well around is truely awesome, I just really enjoyed Sophia, Tanisha and Glenda their just so inspiraing and very nice:0) But you too can be a DG diva! Yep, the DT call is going on now, so if you'd like go head and try out, don't be scaarrred & put on over and check out Challenge #28 Live, Laugh, Love!!! I kinda like mine;) using a 3x3 piece of fabric, color, turquoise, red,b&w. So go play and here are a few other LO's I've done over the weekend. I've also been dabbling in my artjournal and picked my knitting needles back up to start on a pair of fingerless mitts, so wish a sista luck:)

Your invited to our Tea Party:)

2009-05-08T13:54:00.000-07:00

My baby officially turned 3 April 28!! Yeaaaa!!! And we had hear party at Studio 50, which is a gym & dance center last saturday. Lots of fun!! And since no place seems to have "Wow, wow,Wubzy" anything she had to get a Backyardigans cake. They did a good job on it and it was tastey, don't cha just lub Tali's lil hand print in it. My friend Melissa snapped pics for me while I held her up to the cake so she could blow out the candles after we sang to her. My dad got her this lil' tea set and she just loves it! This actually her 2nd one. We got her one for Christmas and didn't know she'd love it so much. I even went to the antique shop and got a few older hats so she could have a "proper" tea party lol Just seeing the lil' teas cups stacked, the forks, spoons, knifes and lil' cute plates made me happy yesterday:) Which I really needed. I've just be down a bit. A few weeks ago I almost lost my granny. So actually did die twice, I think but they revived her. Thank God. Although she is out of ICU, she is still in the hospital. But now my aunt is in the hospital and last weekend they were calling the family in, but as of now I think she is stable. So geeesh, it's been a hetic few weeks. Have't gotten too much scrapping done and didn't even get to do anything for NSD:( With the party and family things.But I've been mostly making sure my kids are taking care of & my house is in order.
So it's a rainy day, maybe I'll get to scrap later. I did make a mini book ealier with the bind it all. I'm sorry but I just can't seem to "love" this tool. It's just dumb to me & I really don't know why I have it! hmm..mmaybe it's me. I just feel it could be simplier to use. Ok off to finish up dishes and start dinner.
Hugs

Sickness is the sickess!!

2009-04-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

Ugh! I really hate feeling so yucky:( I finally got to the doctor yesterday & got meds. Man,you should see my one bottle, lots of pills I feel like a old person. And of course he told me to lose some weight, which I'm always trying to do. So I've been up and down since 2 something am. Then when I got up at 5 30 I just stayed up eat breakfast and watched the news. Should of worked out but was too dizzy. It amazes me though, because even though I've been sick I've managed to be creative this week lol. Ok, so I think I've booked another wedding for august! My lil' sister is my assistant & it's her cousin, who is also a friend of mine. They are already married,but didn't have a big wedding so they are re-newing their vows and having a big ceramony. So she asked for some sample pics and loved em:) Well, MOJO is up and I can tell ya this is probably my fave layout. Thanks so much to Becky for the Peter Pan quote;), because when I think of that movie all I can think of is Never Never land & Micheal Jackson lol

Callin my inner Mary J

2009-04-16T17:38:00.000-07:00

...yep people ya girl is seriously not haveing a great day. Basically i'm a giver & never a receiver. So that means I help out others,but never can get any help when I need it. And yea, family is the worst! So as your reading this ya might wanna listen to "We ride" by Mary j. Blige, it's on my list and the Beyonce's me,myself& I:) I'm not depressed just down. There's never not alot going on, unless you count all the things I'm busy with lol. Just some biggie things & plus I'm sick again! Why does my ass always get sick around the holiday?! yep I cooked Easter dinner and that evening I got sick and have been sick ever since. I finally had to get out today to grocery shop, but wally world was getting way too hot for me and I started to get light headed and dizzy. The earliest the doctor could see me was monday morning, so I'll just have to deal. I think it's just a major migraine that wont'go away. But I did get to create today and that made me feel lots better. Working on my DG & Mojo layouts and my art journaling. As of now I'm sitting here eating some Cinnabon, cinnamon bread with strawberry cream cheese (and yep it's yummy:) and finally uploaded the pics of Tali and Aubrey. I did edit one and it lookes cute, not the best considering she's my child and just wanted to run around,climb things and play strip club, ...sigh,yep my DD was swinging on poles lol and takes clothes off lol! But she did look like a fluffy candy cane:) So I'll share one pic and just noticed I didn't post last DG and Mojo challenges. Plus check out DG's this week. We had to use a line from a movie,chipboard & visible journaling. I choose Jennifer Hudson's line, "love is the thing , ya know" from Sex in the City:)
Have fun, Create:)

WooHoo! It's working...

2009-04-06T11:14:00.000-07:00

Ok, My MOJO that is! Yep your looking at one of the newest Mojo girls!! I found out last week that I made the DT. I'm supa excited to be working with all the other talented designers. And of course ya know I{heart} Marie:) She's been a great friend and I've enjoyed getting to know her. Ok, so go check out the cook challenge I'm sure this one will be very delightful;) I had a blast thinking this one up & be sure to check out Dreamgirls as well!
Of so this past weekend I finally went somewhere lol Me and lil' Miss Tali went to stay the weekend and do pics with Aubrey. Although the Diva wasn't too much on doing her pics, I did get some really cute shots of her & most of them are from the back lol but she did have fun wearing her cute, lil' outfits and petti. We went to the bus station in downtown Collinsville and the one -way street was a lil' busy so she got alot of ohh & ahhhs and how cute from people passing by in their cars. And I took my first pic of a stranger! Ok, how cool right. I saw a girl, walking down the sidewalk (her name was Nicole) and I told Aubrey she looks cool, I"m ask her if I can take her picture. I just said "hey can I take your picture? I know it sound weird but I'm a photographer& I like the grunge look" So she gladly stopped and let me take a couple shots:) I'll be uploading some of the shoots later this week. I'm busy finishing up some housework and putting together my t.v. console, yep by myself!!! Miss Independent;)

The Soloist

2009-03-27T07:35:00.000-07:00

Yep, A older pic from last year, but I just feel that it signifies this blog post. My title is actualy from a new movie that is soon to be realeased called "The Soloist" which is a true story. It about a man,who was one of the few African Americans to be accecpted into Jillard, but he ended up getiing schiorenia and losting everything. Years later a journalist befriend him and is now telling his story! He's also a amazing! musican and Jaime Foxx is portraing him in the movie. So I'm def. going to own it;)
There are time when I feel like a soloist. I'm different and always have been. I march to the beat of my own drum, I def don't kiss azz or that shizz form no-one! I've always tried to stay true to myself and who I be, but I think along the way I've lost some of me. So as I've stated befor it's a newer and happier me this year:) Yep, I've already had people try to tear me down and put me done,but hey I've
learned to over look petty thing and stupid people. But there are things I've like to do more of this year:)

1. Take more photos! just of everything things,stuff & junk! Outside of doing my sessions.

2. Start wearing more Vintage clothes & wear my jewlery more!

3.More outside time & trips with the kids.

4. More vists to the nursing him to see my granny. I love me some Josephine!!!

5. More artjournaling and finishing up projects

6.Start back attending church reg.

7.Have more self confidence and be HAPPY with who I am

8. I still wanna lost weight lol

9. Uh, paint the boys room (don't really envole "me" but just something I need to get done) lol

10.Pray more & everyday!!

Ok, whewww! I got 10. So if ya have any ideas or suggestions Please, let a sista know:) I'm always open to ideas and CC. In other news.................

Ok, so cool now my blog has some sounds! Thanks Marie, for showing me how to do that like last year lol. The song that was just playing is Natalia's theme song "Diva" lol which she def. lives up to her title. She amazes me at how dang smart she is! She re-dressed herself last night, I was very proud. I was just sitting at the desk and her she walkes over makes some noise and I said "what's wrong?" then I send you put your pants on, wow your so smart. Of course that made he very happy.
So where have a been the last few weeks? Ok, for some reason stupid charter decided it didn't like us too much and we were having trouble with our modem. I really hate having computer problems,esp when I need it for things. Got it fixed & then I get sick! Last week was the wkend I was actually suppose to go stay with Tonya and were were gonna got shooting and I was looking forward to since I'm working on the photog site. But being as it was good, which we both don't do lol then on top of that not paying attention I opened my truck door on my eye! Ouch, I know I'm accident prone lol and then I started to take my hair done, took my 2-3 days I think. Since I did it by myself. So of course you know I won't go anywhere without my hair did , plus a swollen eye and Tonya was gonna take pics of me lol So Ugh,I'm so bummed I didn't get to go. So we're re=planning. But I did get to go to the Herrin Yarn shop, lov'ed it had so much fun meeting all the new knitter, esp. Ruth. Miss Ruth was like my teacher and was too funny! She said they were all impressed at how well I did since I've never knitted lol I've basically just taught myself:) But I'm lucky I made it home, it's a nice drive for me and I didn't fell that good when I left thought it was a migraine, but as the day continued and the next I was actually SICK! I felt so bad. So 2day I'm a lil' better , still dizzy and joint pain, but have house chores to do. Plus, I really need to get my Dreamgirls layout sent to Delores so she can post it. Mines, late but the new challenge is def. up and awesome (as always) so stop by and check it out:0 Ok, thats enough gab for now, but for those who hadn't seen my micro braids , here's a pick of what I had to take down lol But next week I'm getting it re-did!

My homie has been my boy since school and we've always been close plus I get lil' perks like backrubs & Good Morning texts:0 Which makes me happy and hey don't I deserve that. That was my biggest resolution this year, to try to be HAPPY and don't stress or trip ova the lil' things or da haters. And always keep GOD & my KIDS first, always.

My cousin is getting married and she had called me to ask me to make all the flowers for the wedding which I do;) and my brother was over her house and told her that I could take her pics as well! He told her ,I took good pictures and all about my new lens. So she checked out my myspace & liked what she saw.

The boys did so great and we all were really proud of T, this is his 2nd year being in the program and he did so well:) I think he was more excited to see all of us and his grandparents. I've been making candied pretzels, thanks to Gina lol and started back working out. I'm feel a little better, but still have'nt gotten the results back from my sonagram, so I hope everything is cool. But this morning I woke up with a cold, so I'm sneezing like crazy & have a running nose. Man, I can't win! I have done a couple Lo's last week I need to upload & The upcoming challenge for Dreamgirls. I cant' wait till the challenge is up and all the new DT members can show off their work, I'm lucky to be working with such a talented group of ladies.

So for two days I just layed around or stayed in bed. So yesterday I had to clean, and still doing some laundry today. Fun, Fun lol But I do have some great news to share, well not yet. But I am excited! So today it's been snowing a lil bit here. So what a good day to stay inside with some hot chocolate, Yumm...

And here are my Layouts, for my Dec. guest DT spot over at www.freehandscraps.com Heidi is so sweet & this kit was too cute.Had lots of fun playing with it:)

Ok...

2008-11-29T17:38:00.000-08:00

These are just a few of the many pics, I took Sunday of Anthony and Corey..Luv the shadows against the brick. Oh, I have gotten some LO's done,but they are for my Guest DT spot at "Free Handscraps" So I can't share just yet. But I did finish one with my Sweet spuds kit;)

So I'm like so dang sick. I feel a lil' better today than I did yesterday. Hopefully if I fell better later on tonight & the kids are asleep I might try to work on my Dec. daily album or edit the pics I took last Sunday.

Please do not stand on waterfountains!

2008-11-23T19:30:00.000-08:00

Beacause you may lose your footing and fall! yep just like I did in the city lol Of all the places to fall I would do so in St.L lol Went there to do Anthony and Corey shoot today. I was trying to get some above shoots of corey on this foundtain and get I slipped and fell hard, broke parts of my lens:( It still works though. but dang my right elbow and thigh are red and sore.
But on a good note I went and cropped with Gina and Carol yesterday! They are seriously some of the sweetest people you'll meet. When I got there Carol came out and gave me a big hug, she had also made us a great lunch. We had fun scrapping and playing camera tag lol just snacking,talking and enjoying the company. When Carol left me and Gina scrapped more and got in the zone lol we were like really concentrating. And Gina even showed me how to work the sewing maching lol So I really need to play with mine now. Its like I've been so busy this week, wow! And just been driving alot lol. I'll have to upload pics tomorrow , I'm tired and sore now.Just chatting with my girl Marie, she's so silly and always makes me laugh:) I luv ya girl, with ya silly azz. Well nite

For Real tho'

2008-11-21T14:35:00.000-08:00

I spent too much money yesterday! I got up and left like 4 45am to my hair appt. at 6. I went to the African braiding place & got micros. They came out cute, but my head is still sore. Then I went shopping and got the kids a ton of clothes. I'm not even go say how much I spent, but lets just say when I went to check out the lady at the register asked me if it was a lay away lol. And other employees kept coming up and looking at my pile and going wow, or is that for Christmas? One lady told me she hopes Tali finds a rich husband when she grows up cause she's spoled lol. They needed new clothes thought and I'm a sucker for cute lil' girls stuff. And of course really didnt buy myself anything. Ran in HL and got some canvas' and some page protecters they were 50% off. I got 3 packs , can't beat that.
So tomorrow I'm excited , going to crop with Gina and her wonderful mom Carol! I met them on a couple MB's and so far they are the clothes people in Il. to me lol I hope we get something done lol

Praise the Lord!

2008-11-19T11:39:00.000-08:00

I finally got some money today. Have to do some running, like pay my truck payment (which I had to make two payments).But since I had the $ I went ahead & paid nexts months too. And gotta pay some other things and pay em off! It'll feel so much better when I pay off all my stuff and just have the household items and kids to take care of. I'm tired of being stressed out,yuk! I wanna try to get something creative done today, had a few house chores to do yesterday and then I got tired.I also have to upload my pics for Michelle's 30 day photo challenge on Tallyscrapper. I need energy;)

Geesh!

2008-11-17T16:37:00.000-08:00

I'm like so blog ilit lol, or blogger just doesn't like me. Maybe that's the problem with having 2 email accounts lol. Well alot have happened between my last nov. post. I've done tons of LO's but Its too many to post ,so I'll just share some of the latest ones. But I am however, closer to my goal of 100 LO's I have like 14 more too do! Thats, awesome to me, considering I didn't scrap for a few months after Germanes death:( I still miss my big cousin esp. since it's almost Christmas. And I've been getting some great scrappy news! I'm guest DT for 2 different kit clubs, for the months of Dec. & Jan! And both of these two clubs are awesome, let me tell ya:)
It's so dang cold here,Kyle said it isn't that cold and its just me. I'm always cold & the oil co has been drilling 24/7 behind the house. My neighbor was complaing about the noise, but I think It's kinda cool. Plus I don't go too sleep till later anyway. Holla

Randomness....

2008-10-21T18:56:00.000-07:00

Yep, that's all I got today. Still tired from my call last night. I wanna try to do a layout, but I think after "Without a Trace" I'm off to bed, oh..thats after I iron school clothes. I was def. a Pajamma day today, I went to the bank in my jammies, took the kids for a walk in my jammies lol It was fun. Kylon wanted to look for willy worms and her found 4 and a big ole' praying mantis! Although he's scared to touch any of them lol So big brother Tradjan had to do that;) It was cute watching them take turns carring the bucket. And of course the Diva rode in the wagon. After we got home I took a shower and its back in jammies lol So here's what I made for my sweet friend Carol ,for her b-day. Nitey-nite.

Humm...

2008-10-20T13:10:00.000-07:00

So I'm on call today and I hope I don't have to go out. The weather is nice, so I guess it would be cool for kids to run away in. I feel the start of a migraine and I've been tired and not feeling great these past days. Plus Tali is sick and has a fever:( So I really don't wanna leave my baby. I know I'm a babies mommy & hate leaving my kids, esp. when they don't feel well. I did get a really cute layout done of Tali's shoes and its one of my faves now. And over the weekend got my challenge for Ally scraps done. I think it came out ok, but I'm just glad I got those Halloween pics scrapped! I think I tried to scrap them earlier this year or late last year. Plus, I still need to get alot of pics developed. I have some running around to do tomorrow so maybe I can get that done. Plus I got my really cute kit from Sweet Spuds! So I'm really wanting to tear into it! Ok, off to fold some laundry and watch Maury:)

What Housework?

2008-10-18T12:27:00.000-07:00

Ok, so Morag has a link to this site on her blog. But the housework is here lol. I have tons of laundry to do, mop my floors and try to change bed lines. I did get Tali's clothes put away while talking to Tracy. So maybe I can get in some scrapping,when the boys leave for the derby. That is if Tali behaves!So was on a roll yesterday, man! So I slept in a lil' today. Guess I'll share a couple of my LO's from the ANTS game I've been playing over at Ally Scraps. Have a great day:)

It's Fall?

2008-10-15T13:27:00.001-07:00

Ok, so its really been nice this past couple of weeks. We've been outside playing on the swings, trampoline and just being free. Still have some flowers blooming and a couple of tomatoes still left:)Its cloudy today and we've been invited to childrens church by my friend Melissa. If it doesn't rain too hard, I guess we'll go. So I told the ladies at Allyscraps, I'd show my scrap space. It doesn't look to fancy on camera lol. Eventually I'll have to re-do my inspo. line since we'll be gettting new windows and I'll have to replace that one. I didn't show all the cubbies on both sides on my desk. There's 9 on each side. And I have lots more storaged under the wall with some of Kylon's lovely are he like me to display. Have a great one!

Prayer

2008-10-13T15:24:00.000-07:00

Yep, thats the answer for everything I guess. I just had a hard morning. When I went to pick up Tradjan, his father started a aruguement with me, about school pictures. He's so inmature and really needs to grow da F*ck up! I'm no bodies Bitch, and will not be talked to like one. I just hate stupid people, so I guess I'll have to get another lawyer and take it back to court. Which would probably be better for Tradjan, since he's always upset and moody when he comes home;(
On a good note, the rest of my day is cool. Having fun meeting all the ladies at Allyscraps.com and playing the ANTS (America's next top scrapper) I'll link later, so you can play if you want. Lots of fun. So hopefully I can get some scrap goodness done and posted tonight. I also wanna get some reading in. I was looking through my pics from Val's shoot and these made me happy:)

UGH!!

2008-10-10T13:25:00.001-07:00

Ok, so I didn't think I would miss my internet that much. But being without it for over a week really sucked! But I did get a few LO's done & thanks TP for sending messages for me lol:) You would think I would get back online to some good news, but Not! lol Tried out for a couple DT's and as usual didn't make any:( I know I suck. But basically I scrap for myself and sanity;)
So are you ready for fall? Yep, for our. Just picked up the mums today and the cornstalks and other decorations are up. I've been baking (yep homemade stuff) hmm... maybe I'm getting old, but I really need to stop eating the yummies I bake. Well off to check my Italian beef, place the mums and chill for a lil'. And tomorrow I'm outte! Yep I'm finally going out!!!

Oh...

2008-09-30T15:06:00.000-07:00

...and here is this lil' pretty I just finished up today. The Mojo challenge, loved this one and was glad I got it done, since I haven't done one for while. Plus, didn't wanna get the beat down from my girl Marie, since I told her I'd do it lol

It's Feeling like Fall

2008-09-30T14:58:00.000-07:00

Yep, finally! I <3 the fall weather, Jeans, sweater& cute boots! And also getting new clothes for the kids. I told the kids we would start putting the fall decoration up tomorrow. Still need to get some hay & pumpkins, both to use for decorations and to make jackO'lanterns with. I wish I could make all those awesome jack O' laterns with the faces and witches and junk. But I'm not that talented, just a typical house mommy. But at times I feel like supermom;) Did get a lil' scrapping done this wkend. Enjoy your "cool" fall day (well if you are having one) Hugs:)

Back to the Basics

2008-09-28T12:31:00.000-07:00

...that was just a comment a friend who I hadn't seen in awhile made to me, when I told her I was divorced & the type of dudes I prefer now;) I guess by now I'm use to it & I'm starting to enjoy my wkends alone a little more:) One wkend I actually cryed because I missed my babies, so much. Actually the Diva more than my boys lol its just because she's always around me and it pretty much my best friend now. But my Godparents and sister came to town, so I went and hung with them most of the day. We had fun. Me and Cristy went thriting & I got a few things, then we took 2 of her nieces to DQ got ice cream, we back to Nika's and washed our cars just cause Godfather was washing his lol rode around a minute till I went home. I guess it was good for us, since we haven't talked to much, since she kinda did me dirty. But I'm learning to forgive people more and "let go & let God" I did get a few LO's done, my home cleaned. Might scrap a lil' today, but I woke up with a lil cold, so running nose and sore throat for me, Yuk!

I am so tired of driving!

2008-09-26T12:25:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I am enjoying my job as a Child Advocate. It's great to work with teens & their families, since I think I have a knack for that & have always been a good listener. But come on now, this frickin driving is killin a sista! esp, when you rollin a SUV. I got a call Wed. before 5, which I was a lil' bummed since I had company. Yep, Kenea had came over & I hadn't talked to her since she lost her twins girls. It was really hard to comfort her & see the pics of the babies at 4mt. Wow! When your prego, u don't even think of them being so developed. But I think she enjoyed the hugs from the kids and the scrappy goodness I gave her;) So anyway I got a call to go to McCleansboro, which I really didnt know where it was. So after talking to the police officer (and he's the one who gave me the bad directions!) I was on my way, came to find out I had driven a hour of the to way to carbondale! Ugh! So needless to say I got there after 7:30, then had to wait another 2 hrs for the girls father to come get her! I ended up picking my babies up like 12 30, and wasn't in the house 10min before I had to go relieve Jennifer who had taken the other call I got, right after this one. I ended up getting back home at 5 30 am! I guess lol. So K's not feeling feel, & I had to miss a call last night, so I might have to get someone to cover me for 2night. Maybe I can get some LO's done tomorrow:)

Nu-Nu

2008-09-23T16:30:00.000-07:00

Yep, I gots that new stuff for ya azz;) Nah, not really (unless you count my new LO's) I really need to get me some new stuff. Dillards, has the new Ed Hardy bags *& I'm dying to get one. Well, not dying but they are tight and I really must have one. So I've been trying to do a LO a day. I'm kinda glad Tracy stayed on my butt to get me back scrapping. Didn't scrap Sunday though, just spending time with the fam. But during my late night on Saturday I did manage to finish up another one. I took a "sweet" pics of Kylon well chilling on the trampoline. Last night I did one of him painting in his undies, but not sure how I fell about it. And had to scrap my pic of the "sky" I took while lying on the tramp. Speaking of trampoline, I finally got the scare I was so afaid to get. Tali, flipped right off! Yea, my baby cryed but was ok, within a few minutes. She's always been so good on that thing, now I'm just a lil' scared to let her get back on. But being the fierce lil' Diva she is, I know that wont be happening anytime soon. Something I think I'm waaaayyy over protective of my kids, but they are my life,world & the air I breath & I think God everyday for em. Even if they get on my nerves sometimes;)

I was up way to late

2008-09-21T13:21:00.000-07:00

Yep, by the time I looked at the clock it was 3 30 a.m! I guess I was in my own world of being creative, but I did get 3 LO's done. I need to journal on the 3rd and take a pic. Although I did wake up at like 8, but opted to go back to sleep till like 12 something. You would have thought I had went out lol. Did finally get my housework done! Oh, I forgot I need to fold the load of jeans I did a few days ago, Oh well It'll get done eventually. I just really feels good to feel creative again:) Playing with my paint,ink, PP & the 3 Dozens kits I had just sitting there. Yep I'm def. starting to feel better about everything:) So I guess tonight I'll do the same thing again once the kids are in bed. I'm having so much fun doing the AMM crop, it's actually the 2st online crop I've ever done....Wow, huh, but its lots of fun. Finished up Becca's Challenge with was to do a LO with 2 pics,22 brads or buttons, 2 tech,2 types of bling & 2 rub-ons or stickers. I liked the way it came out, plus the pics of Tali are from the 4th of July, last yr. But I'm glad she took the time out of her busy 1yr old schedule to pose for me. I tell ya, that girl has some legs on her! my baby is so purtty:) The 2nd challenge I did was for Anita, to make a LO & use your scraps for a card. Ok, since I'm not a card maker I had fun doing that & I think I'll send the card to one of my friends. Hope your day is as blessed as mine;)

So today was cool...

2008-09-20T20:45:00.000-07:00

Yep, I had a lovely lil' day today:) Got some LO's done & still scrapping now. With my glass of wine, yep I finally had to get me a bottle after hearing Becky talking about it. For a non-drinker, I guess its ok. Earlier we just kinda chilled, ordered take out (chinese) and the kids played outside. I stepped out for a lil' bit ,but dang the mosquitoes are terrible here! Well it's back to da scrappiness and hope I don't fall asleep from the wine. Ummm, maybe I should stick to my favored water and kool-aid.

Some pretties...

2008-09-19T17:32:00.000-07:00

Ok, so things are finally getting back to normal & I feel like Creating again! Did 2 LO's yesterday and tonight I'm joining in on the crop fun at AMM. So I need to wash dinner dishes, sweep and mop the floor, but all that can wait till in the morning, well except putting the kiddos to bed lol Okay, just the boys cause the Diva usually stays up with me.

Too days 2 many....

Visions of creating in my head ;) So I got up at 11 something created a few mini's (atc's) got online, SIS then back to my scrapdesk to create more mini's. I've just gotten into these babies and they are addictive lol. Just did my first set last month for Stacey Fike's swap and being so inspired be Vee, that girl can work a dailie:) She said mine were gorgeous:) So of course I'm very happy:) but she said she hopes I creat more of em. hmmmm... but think I will

I know Waaaa:( Just worring about things,bills and christmas stuff and generals. But I did order me some hambly yesterday ( I know drool lol) would of been great if it came today, but won't ship till tomorrow. Maybe I'll create some mini's or a something quick to feel better. But seeing my lil' cutie running around with a bag of radishes is hilirous lol.

Wow, already the 1st

2007-12-01T20:48:00.000-08:00

I'm so not ready, went and got my hair done today and wanted to go in the mall,but man, it was sooo dang packed and I really don't even wanna think about shopping lol. Maybe I'll see what I can get online and do some shopping on the wk days;) Well, check out the new Challenge at Chit Chat. Can u scrap without adhesive? I didn't think I could,but I took the challeng and ran with it lol

Of course its the Diva, :) She cracks me up with these lil' star stunnas on lol. And yep being that I am her mommy she does have a pair. Complaments of Krystal. But I guess these are her in house pair lol along with a onesie. Gotta keep these on, since she into taking of the diapy. We're in the process of trying to potty train. My friend said "so soon" I know today she's 19mts. but she's showing the signs and hates having the poop on her. So runs to us and cries, she really gets mad lol. So far all we have gotten is her flusing the toilet lol.
Well finally got my LO, for DT done, after doing two the 2nd was a success. Man, its really hard making a LO without ADHESIVE!! Started to use my Janome, since I never had, but opted for rub's,paint,hand sewing, brads, buttons. attached them with paint. It actually looks pretty good, so hoping it doesn't come apart lol

Ahhh....

2007-11-27T19:30:00.000-08:00

Hmm, I know thats not really a title, but oh well. Not feeling good today, for awhile I though I was having a heart attack. My left side totally hurt and was numb. Am I too young for that? And although my head is pounding, I still feel like creating a lil' sumtin. I might see what I can come up with in a few, or atleast start on something before bed;) Just finishing up my wk 5 & 6 CCC stuff.

Luving being inspired like dat:) And I joined SIStv, I know I'm a lil' late, but told this girl I'd do it by Sat.

Blah Saturday

2007-09-30T19:11:00.000-07:00

Ok, my Saturday was not how I planned. I did get my hair done & score @ Hobby Lobby with all the Scrapping stuff being 50% off. So I got most of the Elsie "Lola & Riley " stuff which I hadn't really gotten. Did some shopping my Tali. 2 new pairs of shoes ( a size 6!) room to grow and a few outfits. No scrapping since on the way home my truck broke down!!:9 stupid Fords. Don't ever buy a Ford SUV, if you don't own one. Its still sitting on the road as we have to wait to see if our ins. approves towing and the towing we did call, said since its 4 wheel drive would need a flat bed to tow it. Oh, well when it rains it pours. But her is your b-day card Michelle & yes I'll send it and the LO I did a few wks back.
HOLLA:)

Boring Saturday"

2007-09-22T20:32:00.000-07:00

Yep, its Saturday and once again I'm bored. Usually I'll be watching the Harrah's club while scrapping. But I'm just so tired and of course, Tali is awake. I just don't feel inspired today. Been looking online trying to find something but just can't :( Its been a long week. Well no more OT for Trajdan as of Friday, of course I knew since last wk they were going to discharge him. But as I was sitting in the waiting rm during his session, I got a zit cause I was so nervous. I got a email for "Corrine Delis (she having probs to) and she thought things for better in the states, NOT! So hopefully we can find something else. I think I'll try putting him in some type of lessons him & Kylon really like karate. So that would be something they can do together. Ok harrahs' is on... Later.

So proud to be their mommy:)!!!!

2007-09-15T21:13:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I did these 2 LO's tonight and I'm working on another one now (Becky was suppose to be doing some LO's to ,but I dont know what happend to her) maybe she's cleaning her toliet lol. The 1st is from Christmas last year of Tali and grandpa I had started on it a while back on just putting down the Elsie cs & sanding it and that was it so I finished it. I've been really into cardboard and masking tape latley and Becky said "Huh!! was I told her I was putting in on the 2nd LO. But on the one I had planned used the background (i made it a few days ealier with bubblewrap and paint) put I had the pic of Kylons so I used it for that.
Not to brag on him but he's the coolest ...sometimes well of my kids are and smartest lil boy you'll meet , very intellitual. I journaled about the pic. And why he colored it the way he did, since we are a bi-racial family, my DH said he doesn't think he knows most family are suppose to be one color. So he makes everybody "clored" yellow, pink, brown ,etc, lol so in our house were all a different color :) Isn't it BEAUTIFUL.

Looking at a New Window

2007-09-12T19:31:00.000-07:00

...hopefully lol got the estimate for out new windows and the ones the ins will cover for the storm damage & it was over there cost so back to take the papers in tomoorow. Place wanna make the one in the family room a bigger one since it's too small. Our family rm use to be a garage and i guess they just let the family small to. So to me it looks dumb so we're gonna make it bigger, should looke nicer :) And got a LO done tonight for the OLW challenge. Glad, I finally got some scrapping in. I will tight trying to fit it in though. Tali was not in a good mood. She's really cranky and tired. I think she still doesn't feel well. So thank God she's sleeping now, my poor baby. I hope she feels better tomorrow. Nite

2007-09-10T11:28:00.000-07:00

Got a little surprise in the mail today. When the mailman pulled into the drive I was expecting my PI kit, but I got a lil present from Eefie, form Holland. I played along with the Red Velvet girls in their Swapjack. Was alot of fun getting together your 3 fave things and swapping with a partner. So of course one of mine had to be a MAC product lol and I (Heart ) scollopes now, so a pair of scollope scssiors ,stickles and another lil bag of goodies filled with tags, flowers, blings and more. But sweet Eef sent me some cool tag with a Elsie print, a facial mask, some MM chipboard, 2 cool handmad coasters. 1 says yours and then mines. And a awesome ceremic Owl in a reddiesh color. Perefect match for my kitchen!! and even the postcard was neat. So here's my pic of that and oh! my Cover of my ARt SLaM JoURnaL :)

2007-09-08T22:59:00.000-07:00

I don't know, that's what Kyle is asking me now at 1 in tha morning. I'm a little tired. Finally got my hair done!!! Cause if you know me you know I can't survive with out it. Like wearing my spikey but looks even better when it's did. So Sherrike rode over with me and we made a little girls day out of it. With to the mall & a few other stores and of course I had to stop of the MAC counter, even tho I am 'po and to pick up the new season's lipglass. She laughed at me for paying the price , but the got their eyeliner lol. Got Tali a few girlie things for her hair, even though she'll pull em' out and some clothes and we eat. And I was determined to find me a Red microwave and I did. We had fun. So maybe tomorrow I'll get to scrap (after laundry) Told my Best buddy on WT, I'd post a few things. So here's the LO I did I think last wk, luv the pic of Tali and my BPS green LO of Kermit the Frog.

A fender (Bender) day

2007-09-05T18:55:00.000-07:00

Yep , had a backing mishap today. Didn't see the car as I was backing out a clients drive, but luckily it was a friend's sister and she was cool about it so she gave me her insur. info and didn't want to call the po-po . So I hope they can get her car fixed soon. I told Michell thats what I get for going back to work lol.
I haven't been online alot lately think I've been too lazy, but on the other hand started working last wk and have been getting my house organized and cleaned. Throwing lots of un-needed stuff AWAY , and giving away, redirecting. About to paint the boys room and maybe re-do mine. Called the guy about putting in some new and much needed windows, which part of will be a insurance claim. We had a storm which blow a couple out a little, so that will help. Kyle's been good at helping cleaning , but Tali Pain has also been helping in messing up! lol I guess thats much expecting when you have a baby ;)

Yep, boys & girls, I've been really feeling very creative lately. There is so much inspiration out there.

Yeah, it sounds dumb, but I can be more a housewife now lol Been cooking alot doing lots of receipes, and I've been washing dishes (for those who know me well, know I don't really do dishes) Been getting up most morings and doing me daily chores. After feeding the kids & praying.

2007-07-31T19:09:00.000-07:00

New kit previews are almost up;) But I really dont need to buy anything else lol. I finally gave in & got a "Ott-Lite" I've been wanting one forever! but kept buying other stuff. That was a must have, since I scrap mostly at night. I really hope Aug. will be better for me. The last couple of months have sucked without having a job. But I def get more done at home, so I feel again ( as my cousin Joi called me ) the black Martha Stewart lol. I've been doing all kinds of new receips, making brownies (yep from scratch)breads and think I'll make something new tomorrow. Plus, my house looks decent. So maybe this is a good thing:)

OOOK

2007-07-29T22:17:00.001-07:00

So for some reason the blog is not letting me post pics?... something to do with my Pop-Up Blocker. I'll work on it tomorrow, I'm so dang tired. I've been doing all my BPS LO's in 8.5x11 and I just did my Yellow in 12x12, Oh well.

Having a Good Day:)

2007-07-28T21:45:00.000-07:00

Got to grocery shop today, which is a lil' hard with 3!! kiddos, even when Kyle is with me. And every trip they shop as well. Along with fruit by the foot, go-gurt, Hi-C drink boxes. Tradjan also picked up a Thomas the Tank dvd. He has like all of them!!! But since he did so go in his summer session of Speech, he deserved it. The boys registered for school Thursday and they start next month(yeahhh!) Just me and Tali. No sports know although Kylon is ready for soccer, he did so good at T-Ball. Think I'll scrap something now or clean up.?. hmmm.....

Here's my album I'm storing all my BPS LO's in. I used a AC modern one. And for the first time since I started scrapping I'm doing 8.5x11. How cool.

BPS, Blue LO

I had fun doing the blue & aqua LO. I finally used a 7 gypsies board book, i've had FOREVER! for my aqua project. I didnt do a LO, instead I made a mini album of inspiration quotes. I turned out very cute. For my "Blue' i used a pic of Kylon in his T-Ball uniform.

Happiness is.....

...getting a email from Kah-Mei, of Fontwerks! I emailed to ask her a question & she emailed me back! Not like a sentence or two, but like 2 paragrahs. She is the sweetest lady & I love the new products *fontwerks* are coming out with. So on a bad day, thanks Kah-Mei for the great email:)
