Saturday at Scrappy Chic

Before going to crop at scrappy chic, I stopped somewhere else to say hey...to Nicole (brains32192)who I met on two peas...and I completely stalk her blog.....so it was really cool to meet in person....and she was there croppin' with her friends Jenn and Erika!! After that I headed over to scrappy chic, and I ran into Carla and denise who are going to bachelor lake next weekend too.....we are slightly getting excited...and I think everybody was stocking up on supplies......also got to visit with Sandi...who was there with Lori...., lori was the photographer....of the day...I swear this woman does it all!!! but she doesn't scrapbook!! yet!! I had to finish my last DT page for sept....so this polka dot paper from scenic route is the one....I also bought some of the new daisy d's rubons!! and the stitch rubons...too..cute!!and this one is another one I got done....don't know if I was in a fall mood or what...but both were from the pumpkin' patch!!

Let's get this party started!!

Can't wait to head out to the crop at Scrappy Chic today.......just really looking forward...to scrappin' I think it's been at least 2 days.......hee,hee.!! Took this pics thursday night when sommer comes home....and tells us she needs a shirt for spirit day at school....the next day!!! so we all started decorating t-shirtsIt was fun though....and loved having tonee' hanging with us....her t-shirt was so funny......she cut the sleeves into strips...like we did in the 80's and then there would be beads on it.....yikes..

And then Tonee' even got up at 6:30 in the morning to do Sommer's hair for spirit day!! I feel like they're getting a little closer lately...like Tonee' is finally realizing that sommer needs her to be a big sister!!

Yeah...Go Airport!!!

Check out Tonee's wiggles b-day...balloon..!!

and here's a pic of my homemade angel food cake......I baked from scratch!! *(if you know me...you know that I am lying) ha,ha...

the party girls!!!

and for entertainment......we got a kick out of the baby dancing....he loves to dance....and its so funny cause he starts out with this slow bounce...and then once he feels it.......he just goes crazy!!

But it went well and after everybody left......her best friend tiffany...got all their friends...together to throw her a party....so I know she had fun last night....hopefully not to much fun!! But here we are with our baby girl....all grown up!!!!

now 7 more years till sommers 18!!!!! the countdown begins!!

Happy 18th Birthday Tonee' Cal!!!

This is me at my baby shower for Tonee'.....when i look at this pic....I feel like 18 years flew by......

and then after 24 hours of labor......and finally they decided to take her c-section...at 4:55pm....she weighed 11 pounds 3 oz !! look at the size of that head....so glad I had a C-section...cause there ain't no way!!!

at dance class sucking that thumb.......tappa tappa....tappa

ohhhhh....she's so dang cute!! this pic we were at Calders..

and I finally......got my copy of doodling for crafters....was so proud to be part of this book......awesome doodling ideas....and great pages....to get ideas from!!!

So glad this one got pubbed....even though I did it about a year ago...it's still one of my favs....of the girls!!

and this one of sommer and destiny......at the bottom of the page.....

Well got the family comin' out for dinner for Tonee's birthday.....she wanted cabbage soup...yuck!! and angel food cake!! But after that I told her she should go and hang with her friends.....have fun!!

Anybody....croppin' tomorrow...at Scrappy Chic....I was thinkin' of maybe!! But we will see........

look what hubby bought me.....

kind of a funny story....I once seen this red roller tote...I think it was from crop n' style...it was a deep red....and I think it was a special edition one to raise money for cancer....I really liked it....and since then he has been looking for one...Well I found out that he has been calling all the local scrapbook stores trying to find one......so he called scrappy chic....and asked if they had any of the cancer totes...?? and they said yes....but when he got there...they were talking about the care,crop , cure totes....So its one of those...it's the thought that counts...plus I get this adorable bag.....out of the deal...and then inside of the bag I found this gift certificate for $50.00!! what?? he must be cheatin' or something!! ha,ha....(no really do you think he is?? just kidding) this store is in the town that he works in once a week......and he says its the only way he can bribe me to ride up with him!!! So I will be going with him next week!!!! I guess this "paying the toll" thing is working.....cause he's doing sweet stuff just to get a toll paid...I know how to pay a toll.......
and I scrapped 2 layouts yesterday....it was kinda nice having tonee home....she sat in my scraproom with me....and went through all my old albums,I mean seriously she must of looked at 20 12x12 albums.........just remembering the old days...and I had a few giggles at some of the old scrappin' style too...

oh...and somebody asked if I was going to be a grandma....!! because of the reason for wanting to strangle Tonee'!!! yikes that was a scary comment....but then it made my bad new not seem so bad.....But no ...she had gotten' a ticket and did'nt take care of it.....and got her license suspended!! So she needs to go take care of that.......quick!!

.........whats up??

Not much going on here......I love the weather today...kinda grey and fallish!!! beautiful.....Oh my gosh...you guys have to see this dvd I got...called Inside scrapbooking by mockutv.com it is so funny, they make fun of scrapbookers...but in a funny way...kinda like...it's only funny cause its true!! I watched it once by myself...but watching it with Ed and the girls...and seeing how they reacted to it....was so funny!! Cause at certain parts they would just look at me and shake their heads...like they understand........at one part the "scrubby" comes home from work and asks Molly what she did all day....and she pauses for a minute......and then says ..."scrapbooked mostly"Had my crazy neice and nephew over last night.....yikes they're so crazy........here they're riding Ed's punching bag....that he has'nt hung yet......but he's been busy...trying to put a engine in Tonee's beater car.....
this thing entertained the baby for hours......by the end he was standing on it...and then jumpin' up....he's such a boy!!!

and I did two pages........

trying to get ready for Tonee's party on friday....nothing big just dinner here....with cake and ice cream....but got some news today about her...that makes me want to.....strangle her!!

ooops....did I just say that out loud!!!

It's monday again......

got another layout done for the DT at Scrappy chic....I seen that allison was using some cute frames on her layout she was working on for jenieces heritage class....so when I got this cute felt frame......in my kit.....I knew what I wanted to do...yesterday...was a busy day....Ed had to work on my van...,then we went to lunch, headed over to apple charlies, then stopped over jenieces, Wendell was working her pretty hard!! CLEANING!!...so I quickly got out of there....hee,hee!! had to go get some pics developed......and then finally home..sweet home.....but here are a couple pics from apple charlies!!
Sommer picking out a pumpkin......

Oh...my gosh!!!! this bird was so tall!!! and adorable....I wonder if he would blend in with my chickens....? ha,ha!! I wanted to take him home...

I can never pass up a red barn.......it's funny as soon as I seen the barn....I gave sommer this look and she knew....she just shook her head....and got ready for the pic....

so when we pick pumpkins, I always go towards the biggest, and sommer heads to the smallest.......so here we found one that was just right.........So it was fun hanging out with my girl...but I wish this year would slow.......down...I mean how can september almost be over.....??

got flowers??

look what was delivered yesterday.......me and the hubby had a spiff....and really it was just me being a brat!! I know hard to beleive!!! ha,ha!! but he's so dang sweet...and sent me some sorry flowers!!! When Sommer seen them....she just says "you're so spoiled" and then I told her that her husband will have to treat her the same as her dad treats me or even better...or he's not aloud to marry you!! and she got a huge grin on her face....she's all daddys girl!! Stopped by Scrappy Chic last night to pick up my DT kit....

had some gorgeous papers from scenic route and deja views sharon ann timeless collection......and lots of felt.....,brads,arrows.....and timeless collection stickers....
and so far I got one page done for the store.....and check out the cute barcode sticker!! it came off the heidi swapp damask sticker sheet....love it cause it has a clear background!!

lost my mojo!!!

no new layouts today....just not feelin' it....I was way over due...So I have been trying to find pics of me and Ed for my mini book "how I met your father"....there are not that many but I did find a few!! yikes.....1980's here we come!! How do I tell the kids that I fell in love with their dad because of this football jersey!! yummm.....love this pic of ed..he's like a new born baby!! hee,hee...I think he is 17 in this pic...man I loved wearing his football jersey on friday's when there was a game...had "compher" on the back...love this pic of me...cause it is so 80's!!! with the mullet,which oh yeah...was a perm in the back... collar turned up...the beads..and matching earings....I was 16!!
the pics are so grainy.....but I am glad I have the few that I do have...this is one of us camping...at "camp lord willing" he became part of my family right away.....

and this one , you can't hardly tell...but I am sporting my mcdonalds uniform......

and I found a pic of our first rental....after we moved out of my parents house.....plus it was only down the road...from them. I loved it so much....it was a "real" log cabin.....you could'nt even hang a picture straight...cause it was so rustic....this was in 1991....and see that wagon in the front yard....Ed's mom bought that for Tonee's 2nd birthday...and we still have it here...and the nephew uses it....next friday...that wagon will be 16 years old......!!!

So I hope to start this mini album....I think the hardest part is getting started...after that it seems to roll....plus I am going to pick up my DT kit from Scrappy Chic....and I am sure I will have something yummy in there...to get inspired!!!!

Somerset Memories!!!!

yesterday I got my copy of the oct/nov issue of Somerset memories!!!! This is my first time in this mag....mine is the top one...kinda a simple one for me....but it was one of my HOF entries ...so I am happy it got published!!
the mag is so awesome lots of artsy layouts.....and they give you directions for each layout....plus my layout got listed in the scrapbooking on a dime page too....

so if you're out and about I hope you will pick up a copy!!!

I did 2 layouts yesterday......the first one I love...the 2nd one not so much!! ha,ha!!

can't believe it's the weekend already........a week from today is Tonee's 18th birthday....!!!

buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

last night Ed asked me to help him buzz his do!! but I kept making designs...and trying to give him a mohawk!! so he gave me the boot!!! love this pic....that shows his lil' tat'.....if it was up to me he would be covered in them......yummmmm!! with Renee's inspiration I am attempting to do another mini book!! oh yeah!! She did one of the story of how she met her husband...it was so cute!! So I thought I would do one ...the only bad part is that I don't have alot of pics to work with....my mom wasn't the pic type!! which stinks.....cause I would've loved to have a ton of pics of us a teenagers...but I have a few...and I guess I will have to do alot of journaling! yikes!!this is the first time working with a board book....too...!! So far I have been painting it...and at least got the title....

I did one layout last night.....and funny story....without knowing it..me and jeniece posted our layouts at the same time on sb.com, used the same letters, heart and I think we both used basic grey paper too...!! weird.......

WAX LIPS

I picked up these wax lips......in the halloween isle...at the store.....thought sommer would get a kick out of them...and hey...great pic too....But everytime we would put them on...to take a pic.....we would be good until we looked in the camera..and get a peek at ourselves we would start laughing....that is why the pics are blurry......cause I was holdin' the camera...and I just could not keep a straight face.....they completely gave me the giggles.....
but we finally held it together...for a pic...even though I look like I am on medication....

and I did this layout.....I broke out the paint a little too....

and then I used up the rest of my mini pics......on this one

and I am lovin' the new date keeper stamp...from fontworks...but I did'nt realize that it has the date first , then the month and year......did it wrong on my layout yesterday...
