Hello, stranger

Hello to everyone in Blogger Land. It feels good to be back! It is ridiculous how much things have changed in my absence :( Old message boards are no longer around, Magistical Memories is now made-to-order, kit clubs are all "new." Sigh. On a good note, I have kept in touch with many of my scrappy friends through facebook *yay* So now I'm off to explore... to comment on old friends' blogs in the hopes that everybody is still around lol. Looks like I have quite a few links on my sidebar to change!!

hellooooooooooooooooooo

IT'S COMING....

I'm lazy

So lazy that I copied this right from Selena's blog! Yes, I am a "round 2 lady."

Magistical Memories is such a great place for sure. Not only are they sending out the 27 packages of FABULOUS chipboard to the Round 2 ladies...but check this out...
If you make your way over to the Magistical Memories Blog and leave a praise comment under the post titled, "Chipboard Artist Round 2", you can win 1 of 5 chipboard packages. It is the same package that the 27 ladies are getting to create with.
Let me just tell y'all....the package is a FABULOUS sampling of Magistical Memories products. You will definately want more I promise you.
So what are you waiting for....

Win Some Chipboard on the Magistical Memories Blog

Happy Halloweeney!

Well, almost anyway. I wanted to put up some pics of what happened when I had a creative burst of energy last week. All chipboard used on this is from Magistical Memories. The ghosts and graves (I cut the graves in half to make more) are from last year's holiday release, but that rockin' spooky tree is brand-spanking new. You can find it in the store here.
The yellow ribbon around the perimeter is supposed to be police caution tape around broken fence posts...
Yes, I even had to shred some ribbon to hang it from the tree like spider webs. You know this is my favorite part of the whole thing!!
A little bling never hurt a haunted house, right? It almost looks like candy, but if it was, I would have eaten it already :)
And a close-up of the little graveyard.....
TFL guys :)

D'OH!

Hellooooooooooooooooooo. So, let me tell you. After much drama (family, personal, medical, legal- you name it!!!) I am ready to get this biatch rollin' again. I have had my blog nearly 2 years and I have never lapsed like I have the last few weeks! I have lots of projects to share- but not as many as you would think since the last time I checked in, so don't get all excited or anything. Time flies when you are having fun, but I now know this is true even when you are NOT having fun....

Thanks to the gals who emailed or pm'ed me asking if I was alive :) I have cut back the unnecessary and finally have some time to get back into the swing of things. For the first time in a long time, I have a STACK of my own scrappable photos. MY KIDS, MY photos, MY timeline...it's very refreshing and I am full of inspiration and mojo. So don't forget my blog- I have lots coming!!! And while you are at it, make sure to check out Magistical Memories before October is over. Crystle is giving you a whole 20% off your entire order!!! And that INCLUDES KITS!! *gasp* Get them ebfore they are all gone and make sure you stock up on some new holiday releases!!

I Love These!

Do you ever finish projects and just want to put them up on display because you are just SO HAPPY with how they turned out? That's how I feel about all three of these! This one- "Don't Blink" is from my August DT kit from Scrap For A Cure. Adam and Denton on his 7th b-day in July. I love that country songs are good for titles ;) I see this picture and can't help picturing him holding Denton in the hospital after he was born *sigh*- it goes by soooo fast!

This is also Denton on his birthday. We see a lot of this around the house LOL- morphing into some dinosaur with a little boy growl HAHA. The supplies here are from the sold out Estate Sale kit from Magistical Memories from a few months back. I love it so much, I am still hoarding it. You know how it is.


Last but not least, me rocking my new do from a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, it is a total pain in the ass to get it to look like this! HA. Dig the Magistical Memories potty girl up in the corner??

chippies, getcher chippies!

Starting to count down my last shifts at Lexington: 6 shifts left! Can I make it??? I don't wanna make it!! I want to quit NOW, all ghetto style and have some days off before starting at Metro South. But alas, right now my guilty conscience is getting the best of me.

So have you seen the August kits from Magistical Memories??? This is my fave:


FANTABULOUS- and there are 3 to choose from! But don't worry, I fully endorse buying all 3 :) Both the Are You Kitting Me?! blog AND designer Toni Rivera are giving away the goods on their blogs, so be sure to check them out for your chance at new releases and a shot at a free September kit *faint* I don't know about you, but I sure could use a free September kit!!! They are so jam packed it is not even funny! And while you are basking in chipboard goodness, check out the forum for 2 more ways to win some chippies: The August Contest and the bi-monthly sketch. The more people who complete the sketch, the more chipboard packages there are to be won!!!
