Okay, I promise that tomorrow I will have some scrap creations to share. I don't know what my deal is. Summer FEVER I guess. I haven't been able to get my mojo flowing. Tonight, I made a LO that I like with my Guest DT from HTH Creations. I don't know how to describe it. Insert teaser pic here.....but alas, it's dark & the pic would be fuzzy wuzzy as a bear.
Today went well. I mean, I actually scrapped!!!! C'mon!!! Very cool. Speaking of which, I need to get back to doing that!!!!!!
The deal is, my friend Linda from HTH challenged me to get my LO's done by Friday. She knew my mojo has been on the fritz. So, I'm going to try my best to make a deal with her! DEAL or NO DEAL!!! We shall see!
Take care everyone!! Hope everyone is TGIF!
BTW, I added a hit counter thanks to one of my chix, Mary! I like the flaming counter, don't you?

It totally felt like a Monday to me, so my whole world feels topsy turvy! I do wanna make a special mention that it's Aimeslee's 20th Anniversary today!!!! Woohoo to Aimes & your Hubby too!! I will delight in the day that my husband & I can celebrate 20 yrs! We're not even to 10 yet.
I just finished shopping at the 2 Scrappy Chix store for Love, Elsie goodies. MMMMM.....do they look delicious! I can't wait to get my grubby hands on them. And knowing Julie's fast service, I know it shan't be long!
I'm leaving here in a few minutes to go eat a free catfish dinner at one of the local joints. My friend won a free meal. Plus, she gets to invite 3 other couples to eat for free. The problem is, we couldn't find a sitter tonight. So, I'm going solo. I guess every woman needs a night be by herself, although I will be the odd duck without her husband. Leave it to me. Lee doesn't even like this eating establishment anyways.
I hope & trust that everyone had a nice holiday weekend. It was pretty good around here. A little wet around the edges at times though. It was nice to reflect on the ones that have gone one before us. So, I guess the clouds crying was kinda fitting.
Take care everyone. Hopefully if I get my mojo going, I'll have some LO's to post in the next several days.

It's official. Last night my son called me a "cheeto." I don't know if it was an insult or if it was a compliment. I just know that he called me a Cheeto. I like Cheetos. He likes Cheetos. And he laughed after he said it. I guess I should just take it & chalk it up to something that made us both laugh. I guess it's one of those quirky incidents that makes life a little more interesting. It's fun to live with kids.

Funny! Are you orange and lumpy or do you taste good and make him smile? Tee-hee! Either way - cute!

Alright.....I made this yesterday. I don't know how to express how much I detest doing laundry. I wish there was a crap chute at the bottom of my washer & the clothes would disappear down into a deep abyss (then I could go buy new ones on a million dollar shopping spree). Or I wish I had a little laundry fairy who magically took my clothes from a huge mounded heap & transformed them into neatly folded piles. I don't dare post a picture of my laundry room right now. I have to climb onto the CLEAN clothes to get to my washer & dryer. Nice, huh? At least they are getting clean. So in honor of my loathesome feelings towards this mundane task, I made this altered name tag. Thanks Mary at 2SCD for the challenge! Now I can wear this whenever I'm doing laundry. And maybe, just maybe....I won't feel as cynical about it. This SLAVE is on STRIKE today.

Sometimes once in a life-time opportunities come around in our lives that we can't act upon. And being who I am, I have limitations. And being a stay-at-home mother & a wife, I've got to make sacrifices. This can be difficult for me because I tend to be selfish occasionally. Maybe that's the price I had to pay for being a spoiled, youngest child. It just makes me feel like I can't dream as high as I used to. And maybe I'm really trapped inside these 4 walls. Trapped in somebody else's schedule. Trapped in debt. Trapped in defining moments that aren't always my best moments. Trapped in stigmas of motherhood. I just wanna be free. And I just wanna dream again.
Yeah, I know it's vague. I can't tell ALL about what things have transpired in my life lately. But, it will be okay. Nothing that I can't overcome.
I'm just having one of those days.

Sweet!!!! I finally accessed my account!! I've been really busy lately. I'm having a blast trying to get my submission ready for the 2 Scrappy Chix DT call. If anyone is reading this, you should check it out!!!! The deadline is in June, so you better get to crackin! What am I saying! I need to get on it!
There's also a sketch challenge at HTH Creations too, if you're interested in winning a 20 dollar GC. Sketches are just TOO fun!
Things on the homefront have been going well. Cayden's new word is tacomole instead of guacomole. I am just pleased that he actually will eat something GREEN. The new fave movie of the week is Alice & Wonderland. Sweet Auntie Mindy let us borrow it, and I'm about ready to give it back to her. I'm really trying to limit the t.v. time around here. We'll see.
What am I sayin?? I need to limit my TV time!!! Well, that's totally gonna happen after the GRAND finale of Dancing with the Stars airs tonight. GO APOLO & JULIANNE!!! If they don't win, I'm boycotting next season. I voted a gazillion times for them!!! I guess we'll see if it was enough. Joey did well on last night's performance. And Laila, mmmm, didn't razzle dazzle me. She's cute though.
Lee has a new job which he really likes. I really like it that it's saving us in gas money every week!!! What's UP with the gas prices, people??? His new job couldn't have come at a better time before the hike up to 3.24/gallon. At least that's what I think it is here. I need to get out more. But who can afford to??? Really.
Catch ya all later!!!! Here's a few recent LO's for sharing. Preface to the first one. Beauty is on the inside. I just haven't finished my journaling yet.
