Going ons...

Voting going on at Glue Arts on Facebook. I submitted a picture of my two littlest ones and there is a $100 gift card on the line. I doubt I will win because one photo has 100 comments already and there is still 2 days to vote. If you like my picture, please vote! I would appreciate it!

Voting going on at May Arts. I entered a Halloween challenge and they are taking comments on their favorites and the winner will be announced on the 21st. That is one day before my mom's birthday. Wouldn't it be awesome to win a beautiful spool of May Arts ribbon?? They do have the best ribbon and I love to use it!! And I have been known to share. Just ask!!

There is a crop going on this weekend at Life Preservers Scrapbooking Club. I love these crops because I get so much done and I am totally out of my comfort zone on some of these challenges. I will be absent on Saturday because hubby and I are going to see Dave Ramsey at the RBC center. He wants to get there early as he heard they are giving away prizes and such. Then I will race home and play on LPS!!! Won't you join us??

That's all I can think of now. Have a great day/week/October! I really hope to see you soon!!!

Getting crafty again!!!

I am so excited! I think some of my craftiness has returned! It has been MIA for quite a while now and I have really been worried about it! I decided to do a Halloween challenge over at May Arts to hopefully get my juices flowing. Well did they ever! I have done 5 projects so far! WOO HOO!! I have also done a layout for a contest over at Life Preserver's Scrapbook Club, where I am a member, to help my scrapbooking along. I will have to wait until later to post the layout because it is a contest and I can't show you right now. LOL :) BUT, here are my entries for May Arts. Enjoy!!

Halloween Lanterns

Spinner Cards

Witches Boot

Treats for the preschoolers

Witches shoe with pumpkins

Leftover school pictures

Who doesn't have oodles of them?? But, look what I made today!!!!! I am so excited!!! I have been so uncrafty lately, wanted to but couldn't get the umph to actually do it. Well today I did something and love how they turned out. Who doesn't have left over school pictures of your kids? I do (raises hand)!!! Got this  new set from SU and just love it. It is called First Day. I really debated about getting it because honestly, do I really need another stamp set??? Well I am so into the school thing right now so I bought it. Nothing like waiting till the mini catalog expires on Aug 31st, huh?? I can't wait to do more of these. I will do their spring picture on the left side and their fall picture on the right. I am planning to put rings in the holes so it will lay flat when the kids look at it. I just sent an email to my crafty friends about coming over Monday morning to see if they wanted to do a page. I don't want my mojo to leave just yet and they have a way to fuel it. Aren't friends good like that?? I will take a picture of the front cover when it is completed. It is gonna be so cute! I have the idea in my head of what it will look like. Let's just hope it turns out the same way I see it in my mind!! :)

Update...

Hi everyone! I had some surgery this past Friday and it has really affected me and is causing me to do nothing! It is really killing me because I am such an on the go person! I can't do household chores for the next 2-3 weeks and I can't sweep, mop, or even vacuum for the next 6 weeks. What's a girl to do?? I hope to get back into some crafting here soon. I really miss it! So...until next time...Have a sweet day and SMILE!! :)

May Arts challenge

So I just completed the July Challenge over at May Arts blog and I would love to post it here but not sure if that is okay or not. The winner will be announced on August 10th, Andrew's birthday, so I will wait it out until then. Then I will show you the layout page and card I made with their ribbon. I love it! I used sheer butterfly ribbon, purple faux ribbon, and white wrinkled ribbon. I love it, if I do say so myself!!! If you can't love it, who else will??? Right???

Sneak Peaks all over FaceBook

The time has come for so many peaks at all the new things in scrapbooking. I will be listing a few over the next few days/weeks. There are some awesome examples with the new stuff coming out so please check each link out. Who knows, leave a comment at the different manufactures and you might actually win a prize from them. Wouldn't that be F A B U L O U S?????

First up Maya Road.  Today is their 2nd day with sneaks and it is all about chipboard. Love the flower edge layer book and the pennant chipboard. Love all the exampls too!! Check them out!!

Life Preservers Scrapbook Club Challenge

WOW! Three post in one day...so far. :) I was checking out the Life Preserver's Blog while getting links for my other post and came across a challenge. I remember seeing it when they posted it, thought to do it, forgot about it, and...well... here we are. LOL I looked through my last 2 weeks of layouts I have done (you know the ones with the older photos) and I found one that fits the challenge. Talked about shocked. Must have been in my subconscious the whole time! LOL This is a picture of Emma when she was just a baby, 2003. She was my only one that took a pacy. The 2 older ones never took a pacy or sucked their thumb. The other three are thumb suckers! At least Andrew quit just before he turned 8! He has almost been 1 year free of thumb sucking! Now to get the other two to quit, but I am sure that is a long way off. Oh well, it IS cute sometimes! Especially when they are sleeping. :)
