Hawt Dawg!

Gotta love Federal holidays! My favorite part about it, a I think... besides getting a "free" work day, is that I now only have to work 4 days next week.

Anyway, Hubs and I messed around w/ our taxes this morning. Not getting as much back as I'd hoped but at least we don't owe, so silver lining, right?

So Hubs, Goose and I decided to dump responsibility today and go to the park. It was a beautiful day, it might have even gotten into the 50's, I don't know, but in the sun it was pretty nice (shade... not so much... Brrr!) We played for hours. I hurt myself, and Goose cried over something.

There is something you should know about me... I am a klutz. Really, it's bad. Hubs often wonders how I am still alive. Sometimes when he watches me change and sees bruises on my hips, or knees, or calves, maybe my arms. I never know how I get them. At least once a day, you will here me yell out "ouch" or really more likely "f*ck!". Hubs will will yell, "are you okay?" and then I groan back "yeah...." I am a comedy of errors. And its not just at home, no... I'm just as bad in the office. Tripping over boxes, dropping files, slamming my fingers in drawers and other things of the like.

Anyway. in the picture above, I am sitting on the bench, with my shoe off. I had tried to do, what in my head was gonna be a pretty awesome flip where I jumped up on the bench then, jumping off the back doing this flip and landing on the group. I was set up to fail from the beginning. As I said, I'm klutzy... if I can hurt myself I probably will!. So as I attempt my stunt (maybe its all the hype MTV has on Nitro Circus) my left foot slips on the slightly wet bench and my right foot slammed into in bottom of the bench. OUCH!

So I was nursing my hurt foot (Hubs called me a tool... it hurt... but he was right, so I didn't argue although I did ask him to repeat himself) and Goose was unhappy about something. I don't remember what, But right after this another little girl her same age, literally they were two days apart, came and they entertained each other.

Goose played hard, and then we came home, ate some lunch and she actually wanted to nap! Then I asked (told) Hubs that I wanted some time to scrap and he told me to go ahead. The laundry is done... well, clean, not folded, I know I probably should have done that instead but I decided I'd rather scrap. I've just had this creative itch lately!

A pic of Goose from Harley-Beast's birthday party.

I believe this is a Pencil Lines sketch.




Chillin' like a villain... That's Hot!

This is Jodie's newest sketch, #90.


The little owl ticket was made by my friend Misty.




So tonight the plan is to get Goose to bed as soon as possible (hopefully before 9, we usually start "bed-time": around 8), the watch House and 24 and fold some laundry while I watch. Fun, fun. The most exciting part though... is when 24 is over and I'm going to go to bed. Mmmmm......bed....... sounds yummy ;-)

Weekend LO's

I got three LO's done this weekend so far! Hubs has been very understanding about my needed my "me time" ever since I boke down in front of him in tears, somehow managing to stumble the words out of my mouth.  It's so nice to have a clean scrap space and I feel really inspired lately.  

I believe this first one is a sketch from Pencillines. From a little photo shoot of Goose from this summer.




This one is loosely based on a really old scraplift that I have pasted in my art journal. I forgot to write down where it came from. I need to get better at doing that. This doesn't look at all like the original but I really like how it turned out.




And this last one... some pics of Goose from this summer. I love how blue her eyes look in these photos and this was with my P/S.... I can't wait 'till this summer to take pics with my D60. As much as I hated my old camera I still did manage to get some great shots with it.




TFL!!!

"During our first year of dating, you promised me we would be together for 200 years - 190 to go."

A New LO to Share

Haven't had much mojo for scrapping lately and I am massively behind on the SMS kits. I have six kits to finish by the end of this month. Well, 3 from last month and 3 from this. This kit is from September I think. Wow, I am behind.



I believe the paper and the little foam pieces are from American Crafts.

Some Brand New Pretties!!!

I have some new artwork to post today. I was up late scrapping last night 'till one. But I cranked out a few LO's and I am really pleased with how they turned out.

The materials for both of these LO's came from Lacey for the August SMS. This was a double month b/c we got double materials! YAY!! I sent out the other groups. Anyway, here is the first LO...

This is sketch #11 from Sketch it Out.



Thats my little Goose, blowing bubbles at Auntie Barbie's wedding last summer. Isn't she cute? LOL.

This paper was really beautiful and I wanted to use as much of it as possible!



My second LO I am actually using for a contest on Scrapbook.com. It is the Scraplift the Person Above You challenge. I had to scraplift Jjfer and here is a link to her LO

I chose to go with a completely different color scheme, but the layout of the page is the same.




TFL!!!

SMS Sneak Peek!

Neutral

Anything Goes

July SMS

SMS = Same Material Swap

There are groups of 5 people (I signed up for girl, neutral and anything goes)and each month, one person sends a page kit to each of the people in their group. Then, those 5 people each do a LO using the same materials.

Katrina supplied all three of the kits for this month. I am so excited, I get to pick out the materials for next month! Fun fun fun!

Girl:
Me and the Hubs many many years ago (we were 17 in this pic I think)


Neutral:
Gotta love the in-laws!


Anything goes:
These materials were my favoties! This LO was a scraplift of Angel.


TFL!
