It's a hard knock life...

for my little girl. yes, she may be little but this fiesty little almost 3 year old has had more injuries and trips to the ER than her brothers combined, and you would think that her brothers would have played a part in her demise, but no... her boo-boo's are all her own. Yesterday she was wearing her little mermaid costume and decided to run (against our requests not to) and tripped and fell onto a bookshelf. I don't have any before pics, frankly my mind wasn't thinking of recording the event (I am some what normal, thank god!) but I did catch this pic of her after we came home and she had enjoyed 5 lollipops (hence the sticky do). She was a trooper in the ER, and charmed all the doctors and nurses. She even gave the "interesting" doctor a wierd look when he called her "pumpkin-doodle". She thought he was silly. She is up and going, with her Derma-bond faux stitches (thank god!). Now begins the regime of trying to keep her from a life long haircut of bangs, and keeping her scar fresh so it can heal appropriately and hopefully not be to apparent.

well, everyday I am reminded of why I do what I do, and here again is my life in motion. I love it, can't complain... at least when life throws me speed bumps, I have someone to hold my hand as I jump over it.

So today, be thankful for your family, including the few nutty ones, because each one of them keeps you grounded, and reminds you of just how good life is.

XOXO,

Pudding...

And White sheets should never get married!

Well, this is the result of my daughter, the chocoholic, a cup of pudding and her need to watch Nemo in my room. The pudding was not originally invited, but I guess it made a guest appearance in the last half of the movie. A girl needs a little mid movie snack, doesn't she? And well obviously she is my daughter since she did her own little abstract interpritation of ART, on my duvet and carpets!!!

She likes to leave little reminders of art around the house just for me, I know I am so lucky to have such an artistic daughter (if you could only hear the sarcasm in my head right now!)

Here is to art, wherever in your house it may reside!!!

Grease Lightning...

She runs like the wind in her new kicks. I could barely keep up with her with the camera but I managed to grab a few good clicks. She loves princesses, shoes and running from mommy so this was a happy combo for her.

thanks for peeking @ my future track star~

ALL Digi POP LO~

So last week I was thinking about what a popscrapper I am. Not just that I use what design is popular right now but that I actually scrap things relevant to the now or recent. My titles and concepts are directly related to TV, commercials shows, music, art, anything that is in the now or has impacted my life. So with that being said I thought this was the perfect title for my little ones LO of the first time she dressed herself.

So to all the grown up little girls out there!

PUNKY POWER!!!!!

Not to shabby!

here are two more! Another new one (Sedona) and an oldie but goodie (timeless).

So do you all ever get any late night visits from JFM? Or is it just me??? The first Lo here is one I did of my daughter the same day I took the pics. I got the inspiration at 1 am and stayed up late just to finish it. as stated earlier... I have yet a LO to do that doesn't scream acrylic paint to me. so as you can see demonstrated here on these just how much I love it. Making Memories makes a killing off of me!!!

journaling:

always laugh little one, always be happy for you are the lords treasure!

once again i look back at these and get so excited as to where my style is headed!!!!

thanks for checking them out!

something old, something new...

Here are a few others of my SOY LO's I used so me of my older stuff due to lack of time!

painting piggies:

this was my first SOY project

One Year:

this was a LO I made I think in february. I was eager to use my new AL $1 stamps.

I am really happy where my style is headed. I see these which were just done earlier this year and I am like a totally different scrapper. Both of these I love, but it is jsut amazing how you grow through the process.

thanks!

SOY Done!!!

Well yesterday the calls went out. I got a call.. from the direct tv lady! She didn't realize that today was the day, so I can't blame her!

I am really hoping and praying for my friend though! I think she could go far with her talent. I am so happy that God gave me her to chat with and bounce ideas with throughout this process.

So what I have learned...

It is all about timing!

Never lose hope!

My time to shine will come!

I have fun with what I do and if there is a kicker of compliments here or there well that suits me just fine!

James still calls me Scrapbooker if the Century, so if he thinks I can do it than why not? God put a passion in my life to be a good wife, and warm mother and to scrap all of our memories. All glory goes to him for giving me my passion.

Here are two of my new projects from my portfolio.

Enjoy!
