Ok, so I was doing my blog reading run through and came across a link to TIM HOLTZ'S blog...heaven I tell you, that studio he has is FABULOUSNESS...run friends to view his room...and I found it funny that he uses his master bedroom for his room like I do..here's to you Tim!

that I posted..LOL I have been trying to do better but still have been lagging..
Let's see what has been happening since my last post..Denise and I went scrapping at a 12 hour crop, I ALMOST finished all of her cards, but was missing a few papers, which I have since purchased and will finish putting the finishing touches on this friday at se with the amazing hostess Jamie will be working the crop..you go girl..hey and the make and take BETTER be FAB! LOL Put in an application for employment at said store mentioned above, they said no openings now, maybe after the expansion.....Nicole finally got a J-O-B she is at orientation tonight, I should of took a picture of her when she left, this is a first for her..LOL!
Washed my car today for the first time in months...I forgot that it was red..I wanted to put my new sticker on it advertising my shop, but DOH I ordered black writing and you can't see it on my tinted windows...what an idiot, so I have to order another one in white..sometimes I wonder about my brain.
well folks that's it for now....peace out

Yikes!!

Well I was ready over my last post and realized that I forgot the most important thing!!

My 10 year wedding anniversary on the 13th of November! My hubby gave me a gift certificate to my fav store and I attempted to give him a LARGE tool box...but thanks to LOWES (NOT!!)
almost ruining the surprise 3 times telling me when it would be here on our anniversary, the day came and went with NO GIFT!! Holy Moly, what a dissapointment....But I received a phone call today and they said your order is here...BOUT friggin time....we went and picked it up and it truly is monsterous....still in the car as a matter of fact..LOL

I love you Ken...here's to many more years xoxo

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving day..take time to be with people you love and to be grateful..

I plan on a 12 hour crop with Denise on Saturday..have lotsa stuff that needs to get done, I hope I can be productive ;)

Happy Turkey day all..peace and love!

I have been MIA

Well since I have been so ordered to update my blog and that person shall remain nameless (jamie) LOL I will give you the rundown so to speak on my not so exciting life...

In approx order of haps..

remember last post stating I was not feeling well? Good reason for it, I had 2...yes 2 ear infections and a sinus infection, so the dizziness was something else other than me being blonde....
Saw a preview showing of Fred Claus (cute) with the kiddos courtesy of Michelle (thanks again!) Sold 6 of my patchwork pumpkin kits YEAH ME!!

I have decided this one needs a home..if you are local $25.00 and this beauty can be yours!

I will be posting it in my etsy shop soon, so grab it while you can...I don't think I will be making anymore.

I know there is more but my mind is blank..more like just tired...

OUCH!!

You know I have head this headache for a couple weeks now, but it's getting worse, I have slept most of the day away, what a waste! I have finished phase 1 of Heidis ever so lovely calendar kits ;) and have decided to be ultra lazy today...SO GLAD tomorrow is monday and dr dever maybe able to ease my pain and make me semi functional again....I also am loving the new food I have been getting from My Girlfriends Kitchen, good food, low calorie(at least the ones I pick) and reasonable....if you decide to try them out let me refer you or use my name, I get bonus points ;)

Have you ever wanted to play in your scrapbook room but just been to lazy? I have been sitting in here for about 1/2 hour staring at everything, maybe not lazy just in pain :(

Arianna and her dad went to the Fall festival on friday while I was cropping and they had a great time, hubby said the haunted house was amazing and poor arianna was trembling...I am glad I didn't go, I am not one for being scared although I LOVE LOVE scaring other people and watching scary movies...go figure!

16 more days until my 10th wedding anniversary..I really need to get my hubbys gift picked up, I would say what it is but sometimes her lurks here..LOL

Anybody know of a cure for nausea, the pain is making me sick.......

Til next time..I bid you ado.............................

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

Well today I was notified that I was picked for the CREATIVE ESCAPE lottery for 2008 YAHOO!! I am going to CE I am so excited I can hardly stand it, all those months of waiting now.....

Arianna had her conference straight A's, and the teacher says she has a gift for Math!
Good for her...I myself am not the greatest in math good thing her dad is!

I have tried a few of the meals from my girlfriends kitchen 2 words YUM-MY LOL
I thought the chicken lasanga was to DIE for..and no prep was even nicer ...I think I am in love!

We are having our CE crop this friday at sce, should be fun....not much else going on...

going to ce08.....going to CE08...going to CE08...is it here yet????????

seriously...

where does the time go???

I thought I had posted a couple of days ago but turns out it was more :(

Yesterday WAS AWESOME!!! Nicole and I headed to the az fairgrounds and saw DAUGHTRY..wooya...he was INCREDIBLE! We had 2nd row center seats, awesome and I think my hearing is coming back....Nicole caught his guitar pick and was so excited that she got it. For her first concert she had an incredible time. She hoped over the row of seats towards the end and he touched her hand, I thought she was going to freak out! I then touched her hand, so I touched him second hand..LOL It was nice to hang out and people watch at the fair, but I was whipped after, and my throat hurt a little and my ears rang for hours. I worked on the fab Ms. Leslis kits today and took a nap. nothing to exciting...

This week the kiddo gets out early every day due to conferences, card class on thursday serendipity on friday and cre8iv, busy busy...I am also picking up an order from my girlfriends kitchen tomorrow, I will let you know how that goes..if it is good or not.

Til then folks thats it!

A week has passed...

sorry long time no blog, been cleaning up the kit mess, doing jennifers kits (cute class BTW) dealing with arianna's school troubles, a day of detention and not allowed to go back to school later in the week for a different offense until a meeting with a parent...my oh my, and I think part of my stomach problems are anxiety related, becasue after the school pronblems, I felt REALLY BAD!! the doc sent me for more tests on my tummy, he thinks gastritis..bummer, another pill to take.

Scrapped at home friday by my lonesome, deborah had to back out last minute, hubby sat in the room while I scrapped and waited anxiously for me to use my bind-it-all. It was kinda fun to play with ;)

booked all my classes for the next quarter at SCE (23 of them!) and am looking forward to each and every one.....
The lottery for creative escape opens next week, I NEVER win things like that, so do I put in for it and be dissapointed when I don't get in, or take a shot and see???
I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to go and see Shermala again and to hang with Donna..we had loads of fun this year, and I am already pysched to go.

I posted a couple more things on etsy and need to do a few more, if I get picked for CE I have to pay SOON...

maybe I need to get a part part part time job to help......LOL

Chow friends, c ya around!

I don't exist???

I did that little how many people have your name thing and I thought it would say 1 (being me) but alas..

HowManyOfMe.com

There are 0 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

I guess that's good there is only 1 of me, I don't think the world is ready for more than 1..LOL

Well my work area is a complete DISASTER, I have completed the kitting mission of 1898 kits for heidi lynn and 450 for angie in the past 5 days..Whew! Glad to be done at least for a bit ;)

well nothing else to exciting I think I am going to go take a nap ;)

Enjoy your Sunday....remember to smile, it might just make someones day!

It's up!

I finally listed the etsy shop http://scrapthis.etsy.com/

Only 1 item listed so far, but it takes alot to resize the photos, etc etc...this 1st listing was seriously 2 hours long since it was the first...I guess my computer classes haven't helped much yet, although I did manage to resize YEA!!!

That's all folks!

things that make you go hmmmmm

Catchy title huh?

I was just thinking to myself, why when I buy something, it goes on sale the very next day? Why does the cat choose to lay in my freshly laundered clothes and get hair and dirt all over them? Why does an ulcer have to hurt so bad? Why does food you can eat with an ulcer taste so bad? How is it possible to keep a house clean on a daily basis? Why do I enjoy scrapbooking but HATE cleaning up the mess? Why does the internet choose to be a pain in the &*^$&*% when I am trying to do something?

Besides all of that randomness above, it has been a pleasant few days. Deb came over friday night, had the most scrumptoius dinner..yummm..then scrapped a few hours before she had to leave early due to sitter issues, we managed to get a few pages of our halloween book done, looking good I must say....

Today has been a lazy type day --a day of rest before the kits are unleashed...The next few days I will be CRAZY CRAZY busy with kits to do.....keeps me outta trouble I guess ;)

Dogs are getting groomed tomorrow so I will have sweet smellin pups and a chiro appt for me to start off the work week...see ya in a few days when the madness ends .....................................

Told ya...

I am not sure about this whole blogging thing, I really don't have that much to say, at least not that would be interesting enough for anyone to read....

I know have a new internet provider, and I am happy with it so far, at least now I can check email and the like, I never really realized how much I am on the dang thing! I actually had withdrawals the first day.

Finally unpacked all my stuff from creative escape, now all that's left is finishing the projects, if last year is an indication of my finishing lets just say that's not going to happen any time soon.

I bought somw more halloween decorations I LOVE halloween It is my most favorite, I got a 6'
animated mummy who is motion activated and groans and a mummy dog, the dogs aren't to sure about that one!

Deborah is coming over tomorrow night for my first at home crop and I am making homemade spaghetti sauce, you know you all want some, lotsa kits coming up next week too..

till next time chow chow!

I'm Baaacccckkkkkkk!

Ok, I am sure I have limited time since my internet has decided it works in hit and miss (mostly miss) and I am acquiring a new provider hopefully in the next couple days.

I returned from creative escape on sunday, and can I just say that it was FABULOUS!!!

I left inspired and made some amazing new friends (shermala aka sugar) I miss her, who woulda thunk that I could meet a stranger and within 3 days become friends and feel so bad when she left, kinda like the sister I always wanted. Girl, I hope we can hook up again next year, you and Donna made this weekend lotsa fun!!

We (Me) are attempting to organize another crop with my CE friends, lets hope this one is more successful than the last..I have a feeling it will be ;)

I have some amazing projects to finish and to remember this past weekend...
I took pictures, but I am afraid to test this iffy internet...

I feel like creating some more Halloween fabulousness.....

And the thought o the day...What would you attempt if you couldn't fail.....
Hmmmmm if only.

so there!

blogger was being difficult earlier and not allowing me to post pictures, so I thought I would try again now..

What do you get when you take this:

and this:

equals this:

Can I just say how much I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!

I am looking forward to decorating and some year a party like no other...still in the planning stages.

I also want to give a "hello" to my hubby who tells me I entertain him when he reads my blog ;)

It didn't done on me today when he called and asked me if I finished my spooky wreath. I was pretty sure I hadn't said anything and then he told me he knows all, yeah ok, then he admitted to reading my blog, I asked him to comment and he said it wasn't his place. Come on dear, you can comment, but keep it clean...LOL

cya

8 MORE DAYS!

I am getting so ready for creative escape, hanging out and meeting new friends!

My Sasha dog tore her nail and I had to take her to the vet on sunday and they cut it back bandaged it and charged me her arm and leg! LOL ok lame attempt at humor...

She is feeling better now, back to her ol self.

Finished Angies Kits tonight for her class tomorrow, only 2 more projects for work until I leave for CE. I say bring'em on!

Plan on cleaning some more tomorrow, maybe going to michaels to pick up some things to make a SPOOKY halloween wreath, I feel like I need to create, I see spray paint, webbing spray, clothespins...oh yea you know you want to see it ;)

I changed my ebay ID to scrapthisaz in case you want to view the goodies I have up for auction.
I see your leading Emily ;) you go girl!

Not much going on, same ol same ol.....

TWO in one day?

Shocked aren't you? I saw this on Beckys blog and thought I would do it..and I agree with the conclusion..how about you?

In love, you express your emotions through actions.Taking care of someone is how you love them. And you do it well! At work, you do well in a structured environment. You complete tasks well and on time.You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist. How you see yourself: Competent, dependable, and detail oriented When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, dominant, and stuck in a rut

What's" Your Personality Type?

just another day

Not a whole lot going on today, general cleaning planned and maybe some scrapbooking....I have posted a couple of items up on ebay to sell (maybe) under my noonoomommy id..so check it out if you like, and if your local and win, you won't have to pay shipping ;)

I finished jennifers kits for her back to school book and can I jsut sya how fab this project is, I LOVE it...I can't wait to take the class.

11 more days until creative escape!!!

and the countdown begins...I have alot of kits to prepare before I leave, so there maybe no blogging time between now and when I leave.

Try not to miss me too much ;)

ahhhh thursday!

Well my NEW dryer was finally delivered yesterday! After all the agony of being without a dryer for 2 1/2 months due to repair after repair after repair, the sears customer service advocates took mercy on my soul and agreed to exchange my worthless no good appliance for another hopefully better running one, I have been giving it a workout yesterday and this morning, 10 YES 10 loads so far, holy moly, how to 3 people make so many dirty clothes?

I have dr appt this am and then off to the best scrapbook store in the world SCE! then back home to finish MORE laundry..fun stuff huh?

Friday is make n take day at SCE and late niter and a trip to the ribbon store in the afternoon, hubby says I need more ribbon like a hole in the head, nooooooo I don't know where he got that idea. LOL he says don't you dare buy more ribbon, but if I put it away before he gets home, he'll never know ;)

Peace out

A room to Vue (pun intended)

Well, after almost a month of not blogging I have almost finished my scrapbook room, here it is at long last, notice my faithful scrapbooking companion..I can't wait to have people over to scrap!

I promise to be a better blogger if I can tear myself away from scrapping :)

A VUE to kill

Can I just take a moment to say that SATURN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I have to say first off that I have the "new" car curse, I have been bombarded (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration) with problems with new vehicles, you'd think I'd learn....

Alas I haven't. A couple of weeks ago with tooling sown sossaman near southern intersection my beloved VUE decided it would just QUIT RUNNING! I thought @*&%&$%%^$ and restarted it as I was doing 45 mph on a busy street, freaky but under control, told my hubby and he said he had never heard of that, so no biggie right? WRONGO!!! On thursday after picking up my charming little one, I had to run to deliver a flip flop album I made for Denise who had a class at SCE, proceeded to get gas since the idiot gas light was on..BTW I Hate pumping gas! Filled up across the street from sce and then headed across the street pulled into the parking lot and BAM-OOO..car shuts off...I think oh crap and attempt to restart said piece o *&^%. Nothing it just clicks...man I am ticked now! try to access famous on-star services to have them run a diagnostic and it won't work because the car has to have power to do that! not to helpful if you ask me! Finally got it started, to have it die..oh man...got it started again long enough to get onstart on the horn and the guy to tell me I have an electrical problem, really genius? I could of told you that! He offered roadside assistance and then car died...I give up, I decided to call back from my cell phone. They ended up towing it to the dealer that night, free of charge thank goodness! Friday am I call the dealer and he tells me that it needs a part they don't carry, surprise surprise...they said it would be ready monday and to leave it until then. ok I said, now what do do without a vehicle? My friend Let said they should give you a rental since it is a warranty, so I called back and he said that since the vehicle was running and driveable that I din't qualify for a rental..WHAT???? you told me not 5 minutes ago, that I should leave it for safety reasons...after a phone call by him to corporate I am now driving a Mazda 6, nice car BTW I really like it, if I didn't owe so much on the vue I would definetly trade it in, but then hubby told me if you trade it in, I am NOT loading your scrapbook stuff in it, he said don't you remember why we bought the vue in the first place? you have to much crap for that car, you can't go smaller..oh yea :(

So we had our sale extravaganza on Saturday, we had a pretty steady flow all day until aboput 2:30, she decided she's doing it again next weekend since there is still SO much stuff left. Fun Fun..at least all the hard part of setting up and pricing is already done, I tell ya that about killed me, I missed my lateniter crew and my Tally girl o the night, miss em!

I hope you all had a moment of silence for me since I wasn't there ....Today was pretty lazy for me, think I am coming down with something from working so hard, over tired I guess, tomorrow my chiropractor is back from vaca5tion, I will be there first thing in the am, and in the afternoon miss Ang will be dropping off her fly kits for me to assemble for her marvelous class this week at sce..

I watched Big Bro tonight, and can I just say how HAPPY I am that Jen got nominated, she needs to go in a bad way I tell ya, she IRRITATES me in a BIG WAY! I will be JENuinely happy when she leaves..LOL I couldn't resist.

Nicole is about 90% moved out now, we head to CA on Tuesday to pick up her trust and then she moves out wednesday, she's all enrolled in school and ready to fly the coop, I just hope she's happy, thats all I want for my kids.

Well, off to bed early early start for me in the am....Aloha!
