Rain....

Man, I cannot believe it is raining here again today! This is getting out of hand....I have done tons of laundry today and so far (it's 6:30p.m.) I have comepleted 2 layouts...that's pretty good for me! LOL....I know, I am slow, but I did a ton of layouts this weekend for the crops so....I am feeling a little scrapped out!

Saturday's Crop!

My Mother and I had a wonderful time, if you are from PA or any surrounding areas, you should really check into this! It's called the Cocoa Crop and it's a one day event held in Hershey. I will be posting a link here for it soon!
Anyway, I got ALOT done, mostly for challenges, but I really like the way most of the layouts turned out! I also LOVED that I got 15% off all my purchases for the day!
The only downside of the night was when my Mom fell off the curb. I hope she is okay, I have not talked to her yet today, but I really am praying that she is not in too much pain.
If you are interested in these crops, please, let me know....most of you know where to find me, the next one is in April, and I am sure it will be just as much fun!

Online Crop Tonight!

It's Friday and there is an Online crop going on at scrapbooktakeout.com! Please, come register and join the fun! There are challenges and plenty of prizes to be had! If you decide to register, please put my name (rajah1116) in the referral line, and drop me a line!
Hope to see you there!

Rain and other things I dont like

Well......it's not really raining here today, but it is threatening to. I really hate days like this, it's grey, the sun is not even thinking about shining, and it just brings me down all around.
I also hate waiting for my packages to arrive. I am such an impatient person and waiting for anything kills me, but add in that I am waiting for scrapping supplies and WATCH OUT! Seriously, I think the mailman hates me.
I am hoping to get some scrapbooking done today, I wish I could start now but the rugrats will get into EVERYTHING.....and I just don't feel like dealing with that today.
I think my washer is broken, so until hubby wakes up and tears it apart I cannot even do laundry! Well........yeah. Hope your day is better than mine!

Mystery Package!

I went to the post office and to my surprise, I got a package full of scrapping stuff! Some really AWESOME scraps, flowers, felt, pins, it rocks!
The problem is, the sender did not include their screen name, so I have no idea who it is from! Please, if you read this, come forward! I want to thank you properly! LOL

3 days and counting....

I am so excited! I will be going to an all day crop on Saturday and I cannot wait! Me and my Mom are going and I am so excited to have an entire day with no kids and husbands and pets to interrupt, just scrapping!
I love the rare moments my Mom and I get to get together just the two of us, we talk like old friends instead of Mother and Daughter, we joke alot because we both have the same sick sense of humor....
I remember when I was a kid and I didn't like her very much, and I never would have imagined a day when she was my closest friend and someone I would look forward to hanging out with! I am so glad that we have the relationship we do!

Lots of Stuff done!

I did alot of scrapping last night, and boy did it feel good! I stayed up until Midnight working on these three layouts! I had a great night though, and I just felt good about the layouts....you know what I mean? Sometimes it's hard, but sometimes it just seems to flow and it all comes together so easily! That was last night, I didn't want to stop!

Coloring Eggs!

Hello! Just wanted to pop on and post a little something for the day! These pics are of me and the kids coloring eggs, we had such a wonderful time! Hannah, whose first year this was, made such a mess, but all we could do was laugh! She threw the eggs in every color, in and out, stirred them with spoons and tried to drink the dye!

Marissa, the oldest, is a pro at this point, she made faces out of them and had a blast just laughing at Hannah!

Olivia was meticulous, she took her dear sweet time with each egg, marinading them one at a time in a single color, and eventually adding faces!

We had a blast! I hope your Easter was just as fun filled and full of laughter as ours was!

Dying to Scrap!

I have had a very nice, but busy weekend. I enjoyed my youngest daughter's 2nd birthday party on Saturday and today is Easter, enough said there. But oh my, what I wouldn't give to just get a chance to sit and scrap for a little while!
My creative juices are overflowing ladies and I have no outlet! I am hoping to get a chance later tonight, but even if I do, I will probably only get one layout done, I feel the need to finish a minimum of three....man, it's killing me I tell you, KILLING ME!

My Baby is Two!!!!!

Today was my youngest daughter Hannah's 2nd birthday....*tears*.
She is my last little one, and she is growing up so quickly! I took lots of wonderful pictures and cannot wait to scrap them!
My husband and I made the cake on our own, Dora, what a pain! I will post a pic this week! She is getting to be such a big girl, and the other two are growing just as quickly...why can't childhood last longer? It's such an innocent time, pure and what life SHOULD be about, before we are all jaded by money and "obligations" that really are not so big in the grand scheme of things.
To all my readers, please, take a moment to savor it tomorrow, especially being a holiday, take it all in, capture it not only on film, but in your memory forever! Play with them, hug them, love them for who they are that second, because the next they will not be the same....
HAPPY EASTER everyone!

STOP......BUNNY TIME!

I don't know about all of you, but I just love Easter! I love that it ushers in spring, I love the joy of little children, I love that it's a special time to celebrate the relegious signifigance of it all....I just love it!
Today we are going to be coloring eggs....one of my favorite things! Look for the layout soon, I am sure goofy pics will be abound!
What do we do for Easter you ask? Well, we get up, hunt eggs, eat candy, get all gussied up and head to a nice hotel for a HUGE buffet with the family! What could be nicer?
I have already bought the paper for my Easter layout, I decided to go with the White Chocolate Bunny line from Rusty Pickle....love the colors and cool designs of it!
What do you do for Easter? Feel free to leave a comment, I would love to know!
Have a great Holiday everyone, enjoy the time with the family!

Today!

Well, so far today has been awesome! I got my march kit from tallyscrapper and I love it! I mean, for $13 what more could you ask for! I am hoping to use it tonight, and I just cannot wait!
I just finished watching I am Legend...GREAT movie! If you get a chance, definatly check it out!

Today HAS to be better than yesterday....right?

Well, I was hesitant to get out of bed this morning....after the way yesterday, supposedly a lucky day, went, I just couldn't bring myself to face the world. But I sucked it up and here I am, bravery is such hard work!
The kids seem better, though I have not given them anything but popsicles and gatorade, or as Olivia says "Gatorador"!
My Tally kit should be here today and I am super excited to get scrapping with my new supplies, but I have an appointment and my husband wants to buy and watch I Am Legend, so, it may not be until later tonight.
Idol is on tonight, I am kind of excited, I have a major jones for David Cook right now, hope he does well.
Thanks for listening to me whine!
