It's a Piggy Party!!!

OK, so here you go Bucket, my toe-obsessed friend! Before I left for CHA, Bailee and I had a "piggy party". The weather was really nice, so we went out on the back patio and painted our toes. We then had a little fun with the photo shoot, too. As for the Pig...I got him at CHA from the Paper House booth. They had a ton of die cuts that you could choose from and I thought..."this would be great because we go to the zoo all the time"...ok, so maybe not! Add a crown and this piggy is "Fancy" (Just like our toes)! LOL

So here's my challenge to all my blog readers...do something fun today! If you have kids...do something fun with them. Celebrate life...take a photo shoot...and dress up your pigs!!

It's Christmas in July!!

OK, so I am not really ready for snow yet, but who doesn't like a party??? My friends at Scrapadilly are having a crop this weekend, so please come over and join us. After CHA, who doesn't have a little extra mojo to get out? Come on...you know you want to!!! Make sure to tell 'em Shannon sent ya!!

And the winning continues...

OK, so Reminisce and I have been good buddies for a while now! LOL The last time they had a DT call, I got honorable mention and had my work displayed at CHA Winter 2008. Well, they had another contest recently using thier Signature Series papers and I won 2nd Place. I am SOOOO excited. You can check it out here on their blog!!! This is my little man with his best soccer face! He's HARDCORE ya'll! LOL (I wonder if I should share my prize with him now?)

Thanks for letting me share. I must say it's been a good day (Hey Sarah...can you guess the lyrics??? *wink*)

I'm back!

Did you miss me? I had a great time at CHA! I've also been busy post-CHA with projects for both Boxer and Midnight Oil. A special thank you goes out to Alicia for letting me borrow her cat, Celeste. I was able to work with the AWESOME new cat albums from Boxer and use her precious furbaby pictures. Check out my album on the Boxer DT Blog (listed on the sidebar).

Hope everyone had a great week!

Oh yeah...I won a SLICE at CHA. Pretty sweet, huh?

Oh yeah...Bucket...this is totally for you...these are my pre-CHA feet! You know you love em!

OK, so this is not necessarily my style of scrapping, but I kinda like it! LOL At Scrapdango, I was challenged to use another user's sketch (thanks Angelbear!!). So I had this 5x7 of my kids and their friends I had taken this summer at the Fort...I really liked the overexposed feel of the picture and just started throwing papers together.

By the way, I think I am addicted to Hambly transparencies in a BAD way! LOL So there ya go...I think it looks sort of surreal - fairytale-like. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Bailee is home from Florida! Woohoo! She had an AWESOME time! My SIL even sent me pictures before she got back (we have a shared Walgreens account), so I was able to print these pictures out and play with them...this is an awesom Becky Fleck sketch...

I think she totally wants to live in Florida now! LOL Of course, it helps that her favorite aunt lives there to spoil her. She even went out on her Boogie Board on a "red flag" day. She is so totally proud of that and even started using "surfer" phrases. My favorite thing she said..."Mom, if we lived in Florida, could I call you Dude?" Um...NO! ROFL THAT KID!!!!

Have a great week!!!

Friends...

You know how there are just those people you meet in your life that are just really special people? Well, today I did some scrapping about one of those people. For those that don't know her...this is Alicia. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people you will ever know. We met on-line and had the opportunity to travel to CHA last year and will again be CHA buddies this year. I am so excited to be going to CHA...more for the fact that I get to be with some very special friends (that means you too Veronica, Sue...and all my MOD Squad buddies...as well as anyone else that happens to be going that I don't know about!). Just one week to go!!! Woohoooooooo!!!

OK, I guess I can spill it now...

I found out last month that I would get the opportunity to design a pagemap for Becky Fleck's July Half Maps. It's finally here!!! I am very excited and honored to have been a part of the newsletter. Thanks Becky!!!!!
