I want to make a layout for my bf's daughter who turns 16
today. She will be getting a truck from her parents as a
surprise. I want to make the layout ahead of time and there
will be 2 or 3 pics. I bought this embellishment pack and
want a really cute layout to use them on. I really stink at
doing searches online and could use some help on ideas.
PLEASE help. Web sites/blogs with cute layout ideas (pictures
please) would be so helpful. 12x12 iS what I use.

Layout and cards

The layout is for John's daughter's 16th bday tomorrow. As is the word book.
Then there are cards for Wyatt's teachers, and some mother's day cards that
i got the idea off of the blog http://creationsbychristie.blogspot.com .
She does great work. You should check out the table she made and her scrap
room. HOLY COW. awesome.
The paper for the word book is from the DCWV paper pack Blossoms and Butterflies
and I used the cartridge Plantin Schoolbook.

My man. Looks so good on his bike.

This is on our poker run and we are at the Anna Maria Moose Lodge.

Wyatt finally getting his teeth in.

I need to take him to the dentist to make sure they are all ok, but Haylee's came in the same way so I think they will be fine. But he still needs to go. The teeth were pulled when he was 3 and he will be 10 in July. WOW HOLY CROW time sure does fly. Is he not the cutest thing. LOL. My little man.

My new addition. lol

I finally did it. And it's sooooo cool.

Do it NOW!!!!

One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore".
No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all
used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when
it's broken and heal it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage .....
And old cars ..
And children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and
aging parents and grandparents.
We keep them because they are worth it, because
we are worth it.
Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.
Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way.
Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

I LOVE YA!!!

Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.

Great deal on a Glue Glider Pro adhesive gun

Updates from Twilight
Summit Entertainment responds to departure of Rachelle Lefevre.
Yesterday at 11:15pmJuly 29th, 2009


We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts.
Ms. Lefevre's representatives were advised as early as April that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE was expected to start shooting in early August.

If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes “passionate,” about being part of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.

It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production.

Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production.
Contrary to Ms. Lefevre’s statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story.

The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project - which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment - makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE.

I messed up my blog

I dont know what I did but yesterday I messed up something. I came to my blog today and the side bar on the right is not on the right at the top where it should be. It is way down below where it should not be. lol. I dont know how to fix it. I have tried and tried everything and nothing is working. Any ideas?

I deleted the original posts so here is an update in case you don't know

April 18th Donny came home from work (he really wasn't at work) and proceeds to tell me he cant stand being with me and I make him sick and he is leaving. April 19th he moves out and April 23rd he has an apartment in an upscale complex off of I-75 and Bruce B Downs. Well to later find out he does have a girlfriend (I accused him of it, but of course he denied it), and he had been seeing her for at least 6 months(that would make it around Nov. of 2008-I didn't find out until april 18 2009 that we were having problems). So our 11 years together (9 married on March 25th) was just one big misery for him. But all is good now. I no longer miss him, and I am glad he left. He always tried to tell me he did all he could to make me feel good about myself and not look down on myself, but he didn't. I NOW feel good about myself and have done everything I can to make myself healthy (and still am going on with that), I have had my leg vein surgerys, my hysterectomy, been to the heart doc/stress tests, mammogram, loosing weight, exercising. And starting to do things to have fun.
I know there are things I "did wrong" in his eyes, but the problem with that is, he NEVER told me until the day he told me he was leaving. So there was no way to fix it.
Anyhoo, I wasn't gonna get into all that, just wanted to let everyone know whats been going on with me (since I deleted the other posts). They were much more in detail. lol.I'm not saying all this for you to look down on him, he has issues he needs to work out and get his life together to try to be happy. I feel sorry for him and no longer hate him.

I am so excited about the new Twilight movie "NEW MOON"

LONG time no blog

Hello to all bloggers out there. Lots gone on since I last blogged. I am newly single again (not by my choice-but good with it now), have lost around 30 pounds (still more to go, I am looking HOT- LOL), just had a hysterectomy (with a few repairs in there) and am now home trying to recoup from the surgery. By the time I am done recouping, it will be time to go back to work. WAHHHHHH. I don't wanna. lol, but I gotta.
I can't wait till this 6 weeks of recovery are over. I want to get back to my weight loss/exercising, and to going out and having fun. Dancing, and doing things Iam scared to do (maybe some bungee jumping, rides riding, motorcycle riding, dirt bike riding, boating, etc. etc.).
Anyhoo, not much scrapbooking going on lately, but hopefully will soon. I have not been able to go see the new Harry Potter movie (my surgery was day before it released) an can't wait for the New Moon (Twilight) movie to come out.

My last vein surgery-THANK GOODNESS

Ok this leg, this surgery, HURT. The veins in this leg are thicker and tougher than the other leg. No reason, just each leg can be different. When the doc tried putting the catheder in the vein, it wouldn't go in, but I guess it was so tough and it wouldn't go in correctly. Plus they were thinner. So the initial incision, where the catheder goes in, HURT LIKE THE DICKENS. Oh man. There were other times that there was pain, but it was tolerable. Then once the laser was all done, and it was time to pull out the veins, the doc got the top part, went all the way to my bikini area. The nurse got the bottom part of my leg. When she went to pull out a vein, she grabbed a nerve instead. HOLY COW, talk about pain. Man, I was so ready for that to end.

RIVERVIEW WALKERS

I think this is the last layout for the day

I must have a fever doing all these layouts with myself in it. LOL. I bought this paper for Haylee, but I liked this one cause it said Tattoo and my tat is showing in this pic.TFL(Thanks for looking)

Another Layout

The 3 I have done today have all been at Universal Studios. We have annual passes so went for my bday. I think this was the day Haylee and Emily hung out together for their bday which is only 2 days after mine. So they did not want to go.

Another page done

Don't really care for it, but couldn't think of anything else to do. Tried to come up with something witty but I'm not a witty kind of person so, NOTHING. Oh well at least I scrapped it. :-)

Scrapbook page I just finished

We went to Universal Studio's the day before my 40th bday (March 1st) and it was so windy, cold, rainy and before we left I got on this display and it really looked like I was riding.

Donny loved this pic (I don't, look huge) and had it printed 8x10 size. Jeez babe, scare people away. lol. Anyhoo, I just had to scrap it. Click it to make it bigger if you dare. It says,

"universal studios. LOOK OUT!! DANGER!! Crazy person on the loose!!. LOL

I used red ink, and purple acrylic paint. TFL (thanks for looking)
