My only creative project in FOREVER!

This is a paper bag album I did for one of my daughters friends for his birthday. Since I have 3 girls I found it very difficult to produce something non girly. This is my attempt at masculine. He and his family really liked it so that's all that matters.

I'm back! I hope!

I have missed blogging so much and I have been able to occasionally check everyones blog during my break. Above you will see the 4 amazing people that have consumed all my time! Between the Holidays, never ending Basketball games for Emma, A new photography class through New York Institute, A nasty Virus that attscked all of us, subbing for the school that I love, some work issues, and some health issues, I have had no time to myself!

I think the year 2009 I am going to focus on ME! I have realized that I don't give myself enough attention, I don't take enough time to make myself feel special. I have put myself LAST on my long list and I am gonna try to make some changes. Pray for me, I am feeling very stretched but I know my God is in control!

I hope to be able to post regularly again but you never know. Thanks for sticking with me and I love you all!

I miss you guys!

It's been a while but I sure miss my bloggin friends! I will try to post something creative soon and hopefully have a little time to get back to posting. I hopee everyone is doing great!

Pardon the Interuption!

I am taking a short Blogging Break. Life has caught up with me and I am temporarily out of service! Please don't give up on me, I will be back soon!!!!

Scrap Class

These are the projects we did at our last scrap class. I didn't do my projects during class so I brought them home and just finished them I changed a few small details but they are close. Lori does such a good job giving us fun things to work on!

Mema turned 82 years old!

This is my husbands mema who just celebrated her 82nd birthday. We had a big party for her and I manged to get some really good pictures of the whole family so I decided to work on an album for her. This is the 1st page of the book since it's her children. I hope to work on it more this weekend and have something else to post.

I love placing ribbon this way

I think it is so elegant!

I am using the Simply Scrappin Kit "ROSE COTTAGE" from stampin up! This is just a cardstock sticker and I used the white uniball pen to detail.

I have talented friends!

This is a look at all of the wonderful "Homemade" cards I recieved at my party! I do feel like this was my favorite part of the night, there is something about knowing that someone took the time to make an original card just for me. Thanks to everyone these wonderful creations will be cherished forever.

I must tell you who these came from...the top left (orange & Blue) is from Chrissy, Middle (bright pink) is from Lorena (she isn't even a scrapper, how sweet), top right (stripes) Is from Lori, bottom left (pink and green) is from Bekki, bottom middle (pink and white) is from Jamie (she just started in cards, she will be hooked soon) and bottom right (yellow) is from my wonderful hubby (with a little help from Lori, hehe)

My Amazing Friends!

I have the MOST AMAZING friends! My birthday is tomorrow the 22nd and they threw me a Suprise party last night, and Yes I was suprised. It was definitely one of my most favorite days. I felt so special and so loved. Thank you my dear friends Bekki (on the left) and Lori (in the middle). I adore you guys!!!!!
