Cutie Pie in Pink

This is a picture of my best friends daughter. She is a cutie patootie! I took this picture at a school function and loved her in pink. Her eyes are soooo beautiful! When I opened the February kit from Back Porch Memories and saw this paper, I knew that I had to scrap this picture. I added lots of bling because a diva deserves Bling, right?!?!?!? LOL
I used my Autumn Leaves stamps from my stash. I liked how this turned out!

We're suppose to get snow tonight....2-4 inches! WOO HOO! The kids are really excited.....we'll see FINGERS CROSSED! We need some snow pictures.

Hope you're having a great weekend! Stand By for a Scrappy Sunday!

Layout from Websters Pages


Let me say again....I LOVE THIS COMPANY! Very easy to work with, very cute, and love the heavily distressed look. Sorry for the terrible picture. In the picture, the kids had a wonderful day being at each others throat. They hit one another all day, screamed, and were 2 little demons, until I sent them to their own rooms. All was quite so I thought I better go check on them. To the end of a horrible and stressful day this is what I found. Yep, they love each other! LOL

The weather is going to turn nasty at any moment....another rainy, stormy, tornado, windy, hailing day. Sounds perfect for scrapping huh? That is what I thought too. :)
It is almost 70 degrees today, they are calling for snow Saturday night with *possible accumulation* WTH????????? It doesn't snow in Alabama so I will believe it when I see it.

Hope that you have a wonderful day!

Websters Pages


I ordered this February kit from, Little Red Scrapbook Co. I am totally in love with this new company called, Websters Pages. It's very vintage yet sooooo elegant. I can't wait to scrap using all of the new stash that I've acquired lately. Check out Websters Pages website at: www.websterspages.com or visit their blog at www.websterspages.typepad.com
I am finally off today.....first day in awhile. I'm on my way to Hobby Lobby for adhesive, run a few errands, and pick up something for dinner tonight. I am going to spend my afternoon/evening scrappin' and I'm not cooking tonight. LOL
Hope that you have a wonderful day!

Rawkin' Weekend



My weekend was Rawkin!!!!!!! I needed this weekend and need a lot more like them.

Friday night I went to a Scrap Etc. in Birmingham. We made a 7 gypsies Carousel.....OMG, those teachers are amazing......We got there at 6 for the class and we ended up leaving around 1245am. My butt was flat as a pancake.

Long drive back to T-town.......thank gawd for caffeine!
Here is a kit that I ordered from Back Porch Memories....One word to describe it: AMAZING!

The kit has so much Scrapping Goodness in it......it's almost too pretty to use. LOL
Well worth the money for the loads of yummy in it.

Here are a few pics:










I will post my carousel that I made once I get all of the holes punched. Some of the cards are too large for the sleeves.

Have a great Sunday!

Hope you had a great weekend and ready for the new week.

The Simple Life

Things are finally calming down a bit. I have finally raised enough hell to get the remodelers done with our other house for Granny to live in.
This remodeling job was supposed to take 5 days.....we went well into 13 days and a lot of hell raising from yours truly. (hiding my head in shame) They even made the comment that they don't know how my husband has remained married to me for 14 years.
I got the following done:
New sheetrock in halls and bathroom
New Tub
New Vanity
New Toilet
New tile in Kitchen and Bathroom
Painted all rooms in the house except kitchen
Put up new exterior doors
New locks
New Electric Hot water heater
Rewired the whole house and built a new service entrance
New Wallpaper in the kitchen

Finally, we moved Granny in. Things are hopefully going to get back to normal.

I haven't scrapped in awhile now......I broke a good streak that I was on.
I am going to a class Friday night at Scrap Etc in Birmingham. We're going to make a 7 Gyspies Photo Spinner all decorated. I think this will possibly be the longest class that I will have ever attended. LOL I think the estimated time for it is 6 hours. HMMMMMMM I am totally looking forward to getting away from everything.....those contractors had me really fired up. I can take the break. I am even considering staying in a hotel room for the night. I need the R&R.

Anywho, I hope that everyone had a fabulous Valentines Day. Have a great week!
