Summer is kicking my behind....

I am feeling so lazy and nothing is getting accomplished! Ughh!

And I haven't been scrapping much. I am waiting for two albums that I ordered for summer pictures and I am excited to start on those, but otherwise... not much getting done. BUT, I did make a few cards the other day.






I love the bright, summery colors of these BoBunny papers.

Have a good one.

Happy Monday!

well, at least I hope it is going to be a happy one. Second week of summer break. T#1 & #2 are already driving me crazy and T#1 is grounded for three days. Oh joy!

BUT, it's supposed to be a nice day, only a 15% chance of rain... hey, what more can I ask for?

Here's another LO I did last week. I love these BoBunny papers...so summery and warm!





Supplies: PP BoBunny, Heidi Swapp stickers, American Crafts Thickers, chipboard "s" ?, Martha Stewart glitter, Hambly overlay, Upsy Daisy bling brads, SU bling brads, punchinella, gel medium, Making Memories glitter, and misc. ribbon.

I created a raised background by applying gel medium over a strip of punchinella. After I removed the punchinella, I sprinkled glitter over the wet gel medium. It is hard to see in the pictures, but it does give a nice surface IRL.

So, have a good one.

Help me, Grandpa!

I love these pictures of Trouble #2 and her grandpa!

Actually, I love all pictures of those two, because I know, as gruff as he sometimes comes across, little Miss T#2 has him wrapped around here little finger. Twice!





Supplies: PP BoBunny, CS Stampin'Up, flower punch SU, misc. buttons, bling and thread.

Have a good one.

I am officially in a slump....

food wise!

I realized... okay, my pants were telling me... that I needed to eat healthier. And in the grand scheme of things, I am all for that. I love cooking. I love trying new things. BUT... Trouble #1 & #2 are super picky, and really, how many ways are there to prepare pasta and tomato sauce? And I don't want to have to prepare two meals every day. So my motivation level when it comes to cooking is seriously low.

So, what can I do? Any ideas?

Have a good one.

Nothing to say really....

summer break is in full swing and the kids are driving me nuts. Which also means, I am too "nuts" to scrap.

Went to see Harry Potter on Monday. I thought it was great, but there was once scene that scared Trouble #2. She wanted to go home right then and there. I suppose watching HP at a theatre is different than watching it on TV. T#2 is the absolute HP fan. She can pretty much recite every book by heart, and she knows all the scary parts of this book, but watching it, larger than life... that scared my little one.

Set up the pool on Tuesday. The kids are over the moon. Unfortunately it's been pretty rainy. But that hasn't stopped the kids from jumping in and enjoying it anyway. The pool is still a bit lopsided. Will have to see how I can get it level. And I still have to attach the pump/filter. Unlike the kids, I didn't feel like being out in the rain and trying to attach the hoses and such.

Wednesday... nothing exciting....

Today... nothing exciting so far, other than an impromptu fashion show. A package from Nana arrived and the girls are modeling all the new clothes. Direct quote T#2: Nana knows exactly what I like!" Let's hope she feels like that still when she is a fussy teenager.

So, off to eat lunch, and carry on with my less than exciting day.

Have a good one.

First day of summer break....

and poor Trouble #2 had a dentist appointment at 7:15am. But she was a trooper and sat through having a cavity filled without so much as a flinch.

Now we are just taking it easy... the girls are slowly getting their day started, I am finishing up my coffee, and then I have to mow the lawn. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can get the pool set up. It's my big summer surprise for them. But like I said... hopefully the weather cooperates.

As I mentioned before, my neighbors got married this past weekend. That means I didn't get much done around the house. No new LOs, at least none that I can show right now. But this one (I don't think I have shown it before) seems like the perfect start to summer.



Have a good one.

School's out....

yeah, finally!

The girls are excited about getting their report cards today. I am just glad the school year is over.




Have a good one.
