a little late....

Merry XMAS!!!!
In early December we took J Downtown to see the lights, took pics by the Rivercenter Tree and the Alamo, and then we ate some yummy Tollhouse cookies sitting by the river! I just wanted to share those pics!

No f-ing WAY!

ok, at times i'm able to search/read blogs, (which, by the way, i have come to love!) the internet truly amazes me in how i can find anything, about everything by the typing/clicking of my fingertips!
Need something to get you in the holiday crafting mind?????
Here's one truly amazing find....

the 12 Tags of Christmas at
Tim Holtz blog

Check it out F-A-S-T!!! I need to get some tags! ASAP

Where Did I go?

ok, ok i've been hiding a little. I've run into many of you and the ? being asked is... where have i been? truthfully, honestly and sadly, i've been extremely busy. here's my list:

hubby's been coaching, basketball season has started and we are trying to go to most of the games. J loves it. He really gets into them and cheers, "Go Blue!"


the holidays hit hard, money's tight and i can't help but want to spend on scrapping stuff. if i'm online, i'll want to buy it all. i joke that i'm a new product whore, ok, junkie sounds better. i'll admit i'm a junkie for cool new things, my quick fix: but something new and it makes me "ahhh"

school. ah school. staying late. working hard. all i can say is it's been an extremely rough year and tough altogether. my hubby's insight to make the situation better is "the school year's 1/4 of the way over" (we just completed the 1st 9 weeks!) he's always so positive! you gotta love it.

lastly, this blog was created for my scrapping stuff, creative sharing. what have i created to share with ya? nada, lately. my mojo will return....... someday, just not soon enough! lol

i did scrap a few layouts that i have yet to post on here, so....
to be continued....

Guilty?!?!?

Yep my guilty pleasures.....

hobbies & fave friend

these are for my this is me jounral! i know, i'm really behind!!! I'll catch up eventually!

I got sick! :(

My birthday was Sat. and I got sick that day. I went to the Med Clinic to get it checked out. I had chills, body aches, throat hurt, and my head was pounding. Well the doctor breifly checks me out and says he doesn't think it could be strep but that he could be wrong. They swab my throat and sure enough, I have STREP!!!! I spend that rest of the night tossing and turning, uncomfortable, couldn't breathe good and unable to sleep. I spend some time on Sun. resting too. I think I'm starting to feel a little better, mainly because I optted to take the shot. Yep, in the boot-tay!

Well, what a way to spend my day! Luckily I had gotten my camera as my b-day gift a few weeks earlier! I had a great time going out with my hubby and friends on Fri. night before the strep took it's course!

Scrappin...finally.

I hate it when I can't scrap all the time. Do I really have to go to work? lol
I made a 2 pager over the weekend. Recently I've been inspired by Pip's blog. She rocks the freestyle 2 pagers. Check her blog out here. Trying to get back to working with 2 pagers, you know just change it up a bit!


I still had to sneak in a one pager yesterday. It's for the Survivor thing at Tallyscrapper. This layout was fun to do. painted on it, stamped, doodled. fun, fun! Dh always says I love you this much! He holds his front of his hands back to back to make a full circle, never ending. {not much of a romantic} but i will take the cute comment!
