Busy Week

It's been a busy week here for me...When I retired I told myself that I was going to play catch up on all those things that I hadn't done for years and organize all that other stuff...Now that I've gotten so involved with scrappin and card making, the best laid plans seem to be going to the way side...An unexpected call to watch my DGKs the other day took me away from some housework...now tell me??? which would you have chosen...no brain er huh...I've also been busy with the Survivor Challenge at www.allmomentsremembered.com We are currently in week 3 and our challenge this week was to make the embellishment(s) that we were using...I've completed that LO and it's now in the gallery at AMR...voting by our peers will take place Monday...I've said it a hundred times that AMR has certainly helped me go outside my comfort zone...Mr. Postman just happened to bring me my ATG today also...I'm way behind the frenzy on this puppy...anxious to give that a whirl...Went to a couple of crops this week and have, once again, several LOs that need last minute touches...I'm hoping to finish those up this weekend, between housework and yard work...more than likely tomorrow as I'm kind of in a down mode right now...Not sure if I can post the Survivor LOs here on my blog, or wait until I'm voted off...Have this feeling that I'm going from one subject to the next, but it's one of my many bad habits...Since I'm in a relax mode, I think I need to catch up on blogging and leaving some luv, so with those thoughts in mind, you have a great weekend and thanks for stopping in...

Terrific Monday

If you've been reading my blog, you'll know that I've been in a survivor challenge at www.allmomentsremembered.com... I managed to make it through round one and voting took place yesterday and this morning for round two...I'm so excited to say that I made it through round two...Thanks to all the people that voted for me...There is some awesome talent at AMR and to have made it through two weeks and I'm so excited...If that wasn't excitement enough a card I lifted from Angie aka craftyscrapr was featured for Monday's Caught My Eye...I just loved Angie's card when I saw it and asked her if I could lift it...What better way to start the week with two great things happening...plus they both happened at www.allmomentsremembered.com...

If you aren't already a member there, you should check it out...you won't be sorry that you did...There's some amazing talent there and I'm so happy to be part of the AMR message board...Have a great Monday...

A Couple of Cards

Made these cards with paper that actually matched and I'm pleased at how they turned out...Pretty generic, but I'm still happy...I got really lucky w/the ribbon that I used as it matches perfectly...

These two cards I made with scraps...Don't think they're bad...but I think it was easier to make the first two as everything matched and these were kinda piece mealed...but I'm sure my DGDs will be excited to get them, no matter what...

Just put the finishing touches on this...My work area is now cleared off so I can work on my Survivor Challenge for www.allmomentsremembered.com... This is a fun challenge where 43 of us on the MB entered and were judged by our peers, with the survivors moving on to week 2 and the castaways still competing by completing the challenges for a RAK amongst themselves...I believe there are 16 of us left...Here's the criteria for this weeks challenge...

Week Two - Island Colors Challenge. I challenge you to post a layout using these 3 colors...Turquoise, Orange, and Tans. You will need I piece of cardstock and 2 patterned papers of your choice. These colors can be any shade of the three colors I mentioned above. Embellish as you please. This layout will need to take you away to a place you can feel tranquil and relaxed.

Definitely have some talented ladies at AMR and I'm honored to be not just a member of the MB, but also one of the survivors....Good luck ladies and see you on the Island...

Just Added the Finishing Touchs

Just finished this LO of the girls birthdays...We have 3 of them in September...Actually, one of them was born and was able to be there for her sister's first birthday....How cool is that...How my daughter managed two little ones in diapers is beyond me...then we were blessed with another girl the follow December...3 in diapers alone...her and my SIL did a wonderful job...I am so lucky...

Finally a new LO

Finally posted a new LO...This is Kayla having a good time sledding...Despite how cold she was, she finished off the afternoon first with a stop at McDonalds for of all things and ice cream and then home to have some soup...Go figure...Most important thing, she had a good time...

Thought I'd better update a little

Welllllllll I've been busy scrapping away...I've been to 3 crops in 4 days...one online one at www.allmomentsremembered.com and the other two on Friday night and then again this morning till late afternoon...I'll be going on Friday again...I accomplished alot on the online crop as we had specific challenges..I was able to complete 4 of them and kinda fell apart...my scrap area kept getting smaller and smaller...but I had a blast...Friday evening I was finished a LO except for the journalling...Sat with a nice group of girls and the time went by like right now...probably did more chatting than anything...Today I completed finished a LO, journalling included...need to take a picture of it to post...I also started another LO for my Aunt Uncle in Florida...They are great great Aunt and Uncle to my grandchildren so I'm going to give it to them when I go down to visit in June...I saw a great frame at JoAnns that would be perfect...Ever since I can remember they have sent me a birthday card and more and then when my children were born they sent to them and now they do the same for my grandchildren and are still sending me cards also...What more can I ask for from an Aunt & Uncle...And always on time with their cards...My thoughts are always in the right place, but I'm never on time...Hoping to change that, but making up lots of cards over the summer so I can have them on hand...I usually say that ever year, but this year, I'm going to do it...no matter what...Well it's been a busy day and I have another one tomorrow, so I think I'm off to visit the sandman...Take care and have a great night...

On a break from the online crop at http://www.allmomentsremembered.com/. Thought I'd take this time to post the four challenges that I've completed so far...The first one was to do a LO with one picture and use embellishments around it as a frame...Thought this one was ok...Second one was to use bling and stickles and sparkles...I did this one quite fast and I think it shows...The third one was to do a LO with no pictures and just journalling...I had fun doing that one...The fourth was to do a LO with hidden journalling from the heart...I enjoyed that one too...So here there are for everyone to enjoy...Thanks for looking...

Online Crop

Finally a sunny day here in Northeast Ohio...Nice to be able to pop a squat and let those warm sun rays beat down on your face after what seems like a forever winter...Have scads of things to catch up on today as with the warmer weather comes yard work, garage sales, flea markets, and my all time favorite "camping."

Late this afternoon I'll be at www.allmomentsremembered.com for their monthly online crop. So ladies and anyone else that's interested, if you've got nothing going and want to have a fun time while creating come on over and join Stacey and her Design Team and their guest, none other than the talented Karen Dudley...The crop will begin at 4:00 PM EST until 12:00 Midnite EST or until we all run out of steam...Hope to see you there...

Jessica Class Up & Running - The End - for now

Finally completed my last LO from the class...

Believe it or not I thought I had it made on this one...Really felt like I was going to zip right through...but due to operator ERROR...this one took me the longest...TFL...I've said it each time I've done one, that the class was well worth it and that hasn't changed...only thing changed is my patience right now...I'm on my last nerve...
