she :loves: pink!

This is for McKenzie...She's a total girly girl, who LOVES pink!!!

I told you it was cute!!!

and just FYI: She claims she HATES the color pink. I think it suits her well! :)

For CUTE!

Here's what she's been holding out on us!! Can you believe it? Look at those ADORABLE little boys!! Aren't they so stinkin' cute?! I love them!!!


Also...so, I have to teach the lesson on Sunday, and there is a quote in it that I actually used on a photo collage, so I decided to get a print of the collage for a visual aid. I was going to get a 10x5, but it only cost like 8$ and I was getting charged 12$ because of a minimum, so I decided to get a 20x10 not really thinking it would be much of a difference (plus it was only a few $$ more..) Well, I got it today, and it is HUGE!!! (well 20x10..haha) But oh my heck I LOVE IT!!! I wish it were pictures of me so I could actually put it in my house, but I may just have to give it to the client as a present...lol..) I had it finished with 2mm styrene and it is so pretty! I just can't stop smiling thinking about it! I would totally recommend getting it that big and that finish! (it was the cheapest finish, though I'm sure the other finishes are just as great!) It's so big and shiny and CLEAR! AHHHH! I'm in heaven. just reminds me of why I love my "job"...I'm excited to show it on Sunday...lol, more so for me, but you know...

anywho..just wanted to share! LAters!

A little help...

I made it to round 4! YAHOO!! Except I have to create 3x as much as last time...(which is really only 3 projects, but 3x sounds cooler)

Anyway...I thought I would leave the decision up to you...Do you like #1(Round) better or #2(not Round)?

...or do they both suck?! lol

**ETA** UGH! I shouldn't have posted them on here...the more I look at them, the more I hate them...but, I wanted to show you these cute pages I did...lol, they just make me smile. They aren't the GREATEST, but they still make me smile! :)

Made with Valarie Ostrom's Growing up Boy kit..SOOOOO CUTE!!! She also has a Growing up Girl kit I can't wait to snag!

randomness...really LONG randomness...

So...update...hmmm...well...

Not much going on still. Just takin it day by day. Last Sunday was the Super Bowl. We had our friends Steve & Chelsea and their little girl over as well as Shaina. We made my mom's pork chops which turned out DELICIOUS (in my opinion!) Lol..It was pretty exciting, I suppose. As exciting as Super Bowl Sunday can be. I think we spent more time in the kitchen than we did watching..But it was still fun to hang out with friends and play with little Aida (who loved me...btw)...

Wednesday we had new beginnings. We had a great turnout. After our not-so-great turn-out at YW in Excellence, we were a little worried, but it turned out really well...despite me being late with the food..lol, you know how when you time things "perfectly" but then it never turns out that way? Yeah, that happened. But...overall it was a good night. The 3 graduating seniors helped plan it, and they did a great job. I've only known them for a little while, but they are such awesome girls. I'm gonna really miss them...

Thursday before Greg went to work we were in our bedroom and there was a really wet spot by our closet. We have had problems with our pipes in the past, so we were a little worried. We went out and looked and there was a huge iceicle hanging right below where our water heater was. Sure enough our water heater was leaking. Greg couldn't do much because he had to leave for work, so he texted Steve and Steve came over to look at it. he brought his little girl again, so I got to babysit. lol, she wasn't so happy to see me this time. but...Steve was able to get it fixed, and hopefully that solved the problem. We haven't found any really wet spots again, so we think it'll be okay. Thanks Steve!

So...After reading Twilight, i decided I needed to get another good book/series. I hate looking for books because I don't ever know the authors, so I would usually grab some of the discount books..which, now I realize why they were discounted. It got a little frustrating, so I thought, hmmm...maybe I'll check the "young adult" section (where Twilight books are..) haha, so yeah, you can make fun of my for reading young adult books, but isn't that what I am? a young adult? Anyway...I found a vampire series to read, and holy crap. I can't believe what these authors put in these books. They are about HS students doing not so good stuff. I just couldn't believe it. It really makes me wonder about some authors. Like really, why would they put some of those things in books and expect teenagers to read them? I wouldn't want my teenager to read them. I wasn't even comfortable reading it...(not to mention the witchcraft and devil worshipping in it that creeped me out!) A few weeks ago, the bookstore in the mall was having a going out of business sale, so we went in. I found another series to read that is a LOT better than the last one. Yes I got it out of the "young adult" section, and yeah it's full of drama and whatnot..but I actually didn't mind this series. The series is called Private, and is by Kate Brian. There are 8 books in the series, but they are short. I really have enjoyed them, and I'm reading them again (because the next 2 don't come out for a while...) lol. I'm letting Shaina borrow them right now, so I'll see what she thinks. But if you like all sorts of drama...you'll like these books...(Linds, I'm thinking you'd like them! lol..) But yeah..anyway..that's random, and long, and I'm sorry...just trying to think of things to say...

Well, thats about it...I'm leaving you with this super cute page I made. ummm, Shari I have a favor for you, but I will email you...lol...has to do with kids pictures, because ALL of my pages are pictures of Lilli..But I'm okay with that. This page makes me laugh, so hopefully you will laugh too. It's made with Tracie Stroud's Sugar and Spice kit. If you're into digi scrappin..go pick it up! She's got some AWESOME kits...anyway...enjoy!

and ps...a real update may come soon. There's not much going on around here...

UGH!!! or not?

So, after reading Ashlie's blog about the CT (Creative Team) member search...I decided, hmm...maybe I'll give it a try...lol, now I'm thinking otherwise! lol..This is my first REAL attempt at digital scrapbooking! haha...I just don't even know what to think. I think I try too hard, and it doesn't ever come out looking the way I want it too! I also look at other peoples' work and think, I can do that, but it never turns out that way. Maybe I should just calm down...use my OWN ideas...and maybe then I'll get something good. Someday I will make it on a CT! lol...may not be now, but I may as well start trying now...Here's the sad attempt..

Anyway, let me know what you think, and ideas, etc..I think the only part about this I like is the recipe card, that I crafted. and the pictures...but yeah...

**ETA**

I kinda like this one. I am usually a freebie junkie, but I saw this kit and knew I had pictures to match it..(I don't know if that's the way to do it..but still..) So I bought it. I like it better than the last one. Can't wait to do more! :)

**LAST ONE FOR TONIGHT I PROMISE!!**

Sorry I keep adding to this. I actually kinda like this digital scrapbooking stuff. Now I just need to bust out my old pictures and attempt to make pages from then! Anywho...let me know what you think.

also...check this out...see if you recognize these ADORABLE kids!
