MMmmm....Oceans 13. Had a girlie evening with some friends last night. Went to a quaint little Chinese restaurant & hit the theatre for Oceans 13. We decided that 13 was a lot more enjoyable without our husbands. We took them when we saw Oceans 12. Yep, it went very well. I really enjoyed the movie. I PROMISE! As in the content of the movie, not just the nice scenery.
Hey, I have all of my pages done for 2SCD. Now off to work on my altered project. I'm pretty stoked about having them finished. I'll post some sneek peaks soon! For now, here are some pics in honor of last night's rendevous with George Clooney, Matt Damon, & Brad Pitt.

Your girlie night out sound divine! I can't wait to see that movie and the rest of the stuff you made with the kit. I saw your one layout and it was awesome!

I'm in love with my caramel fraps!!!! Yes, they are the best ending to a crazy day.
I walk to the counter, order the usual "caramel frap with tons of caramel sauce." I may have repeated the tons part....because the dude said "we want caramel on the bottom, sides, & top." He even marked 7 x's on the cup!!!! It took awhile for her to make it, but it was gREAT! Honestly the best one I've ever had. He then told me "yeah, isn't this great to have after a long jog?" I was all "yeah, defeats the whole purpose of exercise. Isn't caramel fat-free, though? I could drink that stuff by itself." Then he says "yeah, if you wanna be in a diabetic coma." BTW, for the record, I hadn't been jogging.

You are a big fat liar to the Starbucks kid. Who would want to drink a cup of Heaven like that after jogging anyways!?!?!?!?!
Oh Amber I so share your love of Starbucks - my daughter loves the caramel - I like the java chip so we order those, drink half and then swap!

Skulls skulls & more skulls!!!! BTW, I hate it that my title doesn't show up whenever I post! Any tech savvy ppl can give me advice about this!
Alright this is how it all started. I guess being over at 2 Scrappy Chix, I've just become obsessed with skulls! They are so fun. So whenever I started getting a lot of skull product, I was scared to use it. Totally! I just didn't wanna mess it up. But here are my latest projects. One is inspired by my new Rue 21 shirt. A whole lot of doodling going on. The other is a frame that I've had 4-ever picked out to use with the Creative Imaginations stuff (hence, stuff that i was scared to use)!
Have a HAPPY Saturday all!!!!

Healing...from loss has got to be hard. I know that such a wound can never be healed completely. I can't imagine. I really haven't been faced with much loss in my lifetime compared to others. And I definitely can't imagine losing a child like our best friend's did. J & C, we love you. Our hearts break with you. And we will never forget your precious son. He has imprinted our lives even though he was here a short time. He IS and will always be a blessing.

Just a few LO's from today. First one fits & was inspired by the "STOP" challenge over at One Little Word. You have to check this blog out!!! Too cool for school! Just don't procrastinate like I did cuz the deadline is tomorrow, I think! Oops! But, thanks to my photo processing center....I had to wait 5 days for my pics, which weren't converted to black & white or anything. So, I went with a completely different approach & different picture. I took a risk & processed the pic, having no clue how I would scrap it. Leave it 2 in the morning to get me punchy enough to make this page! Journaling including the pic: hi. This is how it is. I love to travel but GAS PRICES stink so...STOP the hike. I plan on doing more research on this one, so I can fill this KICKIN' Love, Elsie ledger paper with more prices on what we've been paying for gas. I like the BamPop road, birds & those furries beasts {?} If anyone knows what those furry dudes are called, I'd like to know.One Little Word's blog: http://onelittleword.blogspot.com/
Also, here's my new SCRAP Mojo journal. I LOVE HAMBLY! The chandedliers just RAWK! Savvy? It's for writing color combos I want to use, thoughts after I create, thoughts before I create - just my moJO journal. goT moJO? If not, get your moJO on!
And before I go....I want to send {{hugs}} to Martha B. for the loss of her pug, Opie. I'm so sorry!

Today was okay. Brinley got sick while we were outside. Luckily we were outside....so I didn't have to clean up the mess inside the house. Mother Nature is good to me.
Tonight, though, was perfect...except that I was gone from my babies for several hours. But once I got back, they were getting out of bed to greet me. I had to tell them a story. I had to sing them some songs. The usual requests. But I find, a little absence makes the heart grow fonder.
So here's another dialogue between me & my son.
Cayden: There's a moon outside. A big moon.
Mommy: Cayden, who made the moon?
Cayden: Grandma Maxine (he said matter-of-factly).
Mommy: She did?
Cayden: Grandma Maxine made the moon.
Mommy: No, God did. God made the moon.
That was SOOOO sweet! So here's a pic of MY Grandma Maxine, Cayden's great grandma. A few facts about Grandma Maxine. She love orange lipstick. Red-orange is good. She LOVES to work in her flower beds. I have lots of pictures of Grandma Maxine's flowers & I plan to do some LO's someday on them. And, she is an EXCELLENT cook. MMMmmmm.....do I crave her food sometimes. We need to go visit her soon.

Cayden is mulling things over in his mind and decides to candidly speak to the waitress.
Cayden: I'm finished.
Waitress: Oh, you are?
Cayden: Yes, I'm finished.
Waitress: Okay, well I'll take that plate for you.
Waitress exits the scene.
Cayden is now sitting with Daddy & Sissy with a smile on his face.
Cayden to Daddy: That was SO awesome of her to take my plate!
That's my 3 going on 4 year old. More like 3 going on 7!!

Here are some *SWEET* things from yesterday. We were at Church services & my baby girl was laying down on the pew. I was holding her hand & stroking it softly. She pulls my hand up to her mouth & kisses it. Then, she shot me the SWEETEST smile ever!
So, later that night after a long day....my Mom & Dad call me. Of course, they have to talk to the kiddos. During Cayden's turn on the phone to my Mom & his Grammy he randomly holds the receiver away from his ear, puts his other hand up to his mouth, & blows a kiss into the phone. Then, he says, "I just blew ya one." Blowing kisses over the phone. Definitely the sweetest thing.
Kids are the sweetest things.
Just wanted to share some Love, elSie projects with ya. I'm IN LOVE with this product! Esp. the Roxie line. I plan on making more projects with it possibly today. I'm just on a ROLL. I don't want lose the MOJO!
Happy creating today, everyone!
BTW, the pic of my son on my "i love to travel life with you" LO was taken yesterday while we were playing on his Grandma & Grandpa's deck. Too sweet!

I so need to get my act together today & take a bunch of clothing to donate. It's not just the kiddos who have been outgrowing their clothing....but ahem...me too. Depressing yes. Lee has put on a few pounds too after he lost some several months ago. So, it's time to shed this house of some of its clutter. Some clothes I hoarde so I can give them to my expecting friends. One of my friends is gonna have a little girl!!! I'm so excited!!!!!
I hope everyone has been doing well. These last few days I can't get scrapbooking off my mind!! I mean, I'm always this way, but ideas are just FLOWING! I need to write them down in my scrap journal....so I don't forget them.
Oh yeah! A shout-out to Kim L. , one of the chix who was in a car accident....I'm so glad you are OKAY! I hope you're not sore today!
And.....I'm so ECSTATIC about my altered project that I worked on last night for my 2SCD submission. I might just have to give you all a sneak peek in a few days. But, I 'm not even half-way finished with the thing! Lots of work....but it's worth it.
And here are some projects I've worked on. My B page needs a little something else.....doodling or flourishes or something. I'm not sure. Too "not junked up" for me. I made for my HTH Guest DT spot. BTW, does anyone have issues with their white gel pen ink SINKING into the paper??? Then I have to trace to get it to show back up. Just a question.
2 Comments:
I so need to donate stuff too! Great page Amber - some of my pens I do have to retrace (which is a pain!) but other work well - maybe it is the brand?
Thanks for the shout-out. No pain from the accident, unless I could the pain from embarrassment!

Yea, it's Friday!!!! Okay, my mother might be coming over in like a few hours & my house is a WRECK!! Someone needs to give me a swift kick to the toosh!!! She's gonna freak out that my house is in such disarray because I've been SCRAPPING!!! Finally.
Well, I hope today is gonna be a good one. I've still got some designing to do for a Guest DT spot at HTH. Here's my first LO.
Hope everyone is having a great day! I hope my day gets better if my mailman brings me my 2SCD package with my Love, Elsie stuff!!! I'm crossing my fingers!
