I am not a good blogger. I am going to try and post more often. Anyways.

So Summer has officially hit in virginia. It is going to be a hot one today. High of at least 90 or more and humid as all get out. Fun fun.

Lets see what is new. Well Campbell is growing, growing. She said to us a couple of weeks ago something she picked up off tv. I had some money sitting on the table and she turns and looks at it and says " thats the money you could be saving with Geico." I was like what and she repeated it and I told her she watches too much tv and then we had a good laugh about it.

Well I am not working for at least another couple of weeks. Kinda stinks but whatever. The people I work for has an older son thats out of college for the summer and since he is home they dont need me. If he gets a summer job then I could possibly be watching their daughter for the summer. Which would be nice but we will see.

Oh another new this is that our church is doing a New Testament Challenge and we are reading through the New testament in 56 days. Currently I am about a week behind but later today when I do my reading I will be only a couple of days behind. Its a great challenge for me since I have never really read the bible but parts here and there. I am also excited to finish it too since to me it will feel like I acomplished something.
I have also found a new life group within our church and feel like I can really relate and fit in with the group members. Which is super cool.

I havent been scrapping too much in the last month or so because I have kinda lost my focus and creativity and just the stress of a couple projects I needed to get done. I do have a mini album to do for one of the Design teams I am on and thats not in my comfort level but I am excited to do something new for me. Plus with my new little printer I can get smaller pictures like 2x2 and wallet etc. Thanks Joe and Campbell for my mothers day gift.

Well thats about it for now. have a good one all.

Phewwwww its been a whirlwind

Wow its been a whirlwind of the last month or so.

I have finally caught scrappers block. I got so comsumed with catching up and now I need a bit of a break. I have had little spots of inspiration but its been few and far between. I am going to a crop on Saturday and hope to have something so I can get a page or two done.

Have I told you that I love facebook. I have been able to get in touch with some friends from Iowa and its been great. I also was able to have a nice conversation this morning with my best friend and to top it off it was free.

Sorry Joe just walked in so I need to get off here. Will try and add more later. have a great one all.

Busy Busy Busy

Its been a busy couple of days. I feel like I ahave been running everywhere.
Wed I went to scrap and had a great time and did a little bit done . Then yesterday I had to take my mom to the dentist since she was having some teeth pulled. While we were waiting Campbell and I went shopping and I had to pick something up I let someone borrow. Then today we had to run some errands and I am off to the post office here in a few moments.
Other than that nothing else really new.

I did get my projects finished for Shop Remember When. I will try and share them later here on my blog. So I am all caught up.

Have a great one all.

HI all-- I havent posted in a long time and I am sure no one prolly reads this anyway but oh well.

Whats new-- I have made two design teams. One for a local store in Chesapeake, VA - All About Scrapbooks and then another one for an online store (to me -- they also have a real store) Shop Remember When in Texas.
I have been makeing creations for the local store since Sept and I will be posting my first creations for SRW soon. I am super excited and to think at one time I didnt even want to try out for any teams. (Thanks Paula)

Life is going well. I work one day a week which is nice. I wont lie I do wish I worked two days like before but I am happy to have this and it does help.
Campbell is growing more and more. She has hit the terrible 3's. Joe and I hit the 6 year mark on the 15th of this month. I cant believe its been that long.
He is still working hard for Dollar Tree. So far this year no overtime but I know it will be coming soon.

On the scrapping front. I have been a scrappin fool lately and have been getting a lot done. I am so happy about that. I am so excited for the quickutz release tomorrow!!!!

Well thats about it for me right now. I just got home from work and need to go check my emails and websites. Have a great one.

Its been a while

Well hey all those that read this.

I am doing well. I did a lot of scrapbooking during the month of may and some in june. I get in the groove every so often. I had a great weekend of scrapping during the 4th of july. Didnt get a whole lot done but did get something done.

Well one big thing did happen about 3 weeks ago and that is that my mother suffered a heart attack. She is doing well but just tired a lot. It has been determined that she is over medicated. She has to cut back on one of her meds and we will see in about two weeks if that helps. I sure hope so.
I was so scared when it happened since I lost my father to a heart attack 13 years ago. I kept telling myself that I cant those her this way to.
I am doing better each day. I still do worry about her and just happy she is getting better.

Campbell is growing more and more and its great. I just wish I could get her potty trained. She just doesnt seem interested and doesnt know when she goes. Oh well it will happen soon. We are also talking about preschool. Not sure where that will go or what we are going to do.

Well thats about all I know. My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I cant wait. I am trying to talk my husband into taking a little trip but I dont think he is getting it. Maybe next year.

alright all have a good one.

Ok so its been a while. Not much going on but I am feeling better. I needed a bit of a break and have taken one. I still am going to go slow as I need to find a job, spend more time with family and work on my walk with God.

I just came back from a womans retreat this past weekend. Friday night to saturday. It was a good time.

Well I dont know much more but have a great day and I hopefully will be updating more soon.

Well its been a week or so since I last posted. Not much has happened. Easter was the biggest thing other than we got rid of the binky.
Last saturday I finally decided that it was the last day for Campbell to have her binky/pacifier. She cried for about 1 hour and a half and then was ok. We tried to keep her busy by painting a picture and then after that we colored eggs. She only asked for it a couple of times that night going to be but I think that she was so tired that she just forgot about it. So far its going well she askes for it about once or twice a day and thats it. I am so amazed she just hasnt forgot about it.
Easter was fun. Mom, Campbell and I went to 9 am service and I cant believe we made it. I woke up at 832 that morning and we were at church by 905. I think we did good. It helped that I had taken a shower the night before and had my clothes ready and I also got Campbells clothes out and tags taken off too. It was a nice service not your normal Easter one which was fine with me.
Then we came home and had the morning and afternoon to do whatever. Then about 4 pm we went to a friends house for dinner. There was about 30-35 ppl and kids there. IT was crazy but fun. The kids hid some eggs at a near by park and the adults had to find them. That was fun. Then we came home and basically crashed. It was a long day and someone who will remain nameless (Campbell) didnt have a nap.
Oh and that reminds me thats the new thing with her NOT taking NAPS!!!!! Its driving me crazy she gets so grouchy about 4pm and wants to nap then and we are like NO!!! she has done it a couple of times but other than that this week no nappy naps.
Well I have a meeting tomorrow for the womens retreat for church and then I am going cropping at the LSS. I need to get some pages done for the class I am taking at Willowtraders.com
I will know on the first of april wether or not I made the design team I tried out for.
Well we have been enjoying this great weather the last 2 days but its all going to change tomorrow. I wish it would make its mind up if its going to stay cool or stay warm.
Also baseball season starts next week. OH Joy...
have a great weekend all.
