It's been a while...

Life has been pretty busy!!

Work has been mentally and physically draining as we have laid off 1/2 of the staff and now we are having to make do...UGH.

The Grandbaby is growing fast, I am totally in love--this little girl has me wrapped around her tiny little finger already! LOL

Scott turned 40 last weekend-he wanted to spend the day driving around in the woods, which ended up being the weekend! I was SO surprised he didn't want to do something more 'special', but loved the time together alone. We don't get that much anymore, and I miss it a lot. I was so relaxed on Sunday, I fell asleep as we were driving around. Ahhhh...

My BDay is in May, so we are having a joined party for the two of us then, and I am lucky enough that my sisters are coming up from Cali that weekend!! My son can't because he has to work (he is a foreman on a bull ranch, pretty cool!) but he gets to come up in June. I miss him SO much!!

Scott also bought some Mallard ducklings for the pond in the backyard-right now they are tiny guys, like a few days old-and SO stinkin' cute!! He had initially wanted to eat them, and I put up a fight of course. Then he gets them home and fell in love with how cute they are!! LOL

Well, work is calling-and there is much more to tell...oh, yeah-I joined a Lucky Draw contest at the DailyScrapper.com to (hopefully) win one of Penny Miscellany's awesome kits!! I chose Celebrate Life, and it was so hard to choose!!

Have a great weekend, until next time-keep a smile on!

Blinkie...

http://shop.scrapbookgraphics.com/home.php

This is one of my favorite places, to buy and play...and to just gawk at all of the great pages in the gallery!!
They are having a little contest right now-you sport their blinkie and give them your link, they will randomly choose people to win prizes for a certain amount of SB stuff!!

I would sport their new blinkie anyway, but I am not a whiz at adding them to my profile..if you click the blinkie at the top left, it is going to take you to my photobucket, LOL. So I am providing you with the link to their place, check it out-it is awesome! Be careful though, you may just become addicted!!

CT Pages...

Hi there, been a little while-I can't believe it is almost April! WOW, time flies and you don't even have to be having fun! LOL

Did a couple of pages for a new kit from Just Passin' Thru called Glorious...I love these colors! It was a lot of fun to play with-the hardest part was choosing my photos!

The first page is my In-laws cats, Jake & Boots. These two are a hoot! I created the background paper by filling the original dark pink paper with this one, to get the grungy effect.

The second page is my youngest, Chelsea. She is always taking these self-photos, I have a ton of them! I love how her eyes stand out in this one. I created a circle page because I wanted to do something other than the standard square. I think it is a fun page!

Well, I am gonna go scrap some more-I pinched a nerve or something in my back and have been out of commission a little, so I have to make up for it (to myself, ha ha ha!!)

Looks like Spring is here, or close to it...yay! Hope everyone is enjoying sunshine and smiles!

Till next time, xo~B

EDIT: For some reason, Blogger is not wanting to upload my pages...I will try again later, sorry!

Long week...

My Son, Willie--he lives in California and seems to be doing good-but I miss him TONS!

Destiney and her cousin, Quinn...love the hands photo, to sweet!

These are some of my favorite photos, what a doll!

The competition page, this is Destiney with her mommy and daddy (my daughter, Ashley)

More of the lil princess, she has been desparately trying to learn how to suck her thumb! She gets it and then it becomes a fist again, LOL

Long week...

Yes, it was long...Scott had to go to North Dakota for his grandfather's funeral and to help his family deal with the house and move his grandmother into a retirement facility. It is a 21 hour drive, straight thru, to get there. He left on Monday morning and got there on Tuesday. He is fina;;y home today...YAY!! I can't sleep when he is not here, I wake up every couple hours because something is just not right, LOL.

He stopped at a Rhinestone mine yesterday in Helena, MT-it is the Spokane Mine. It was too cold to go out and do any digging, but he bought a bag of dirt and rock home so we can go thru it together and maybe (hopefully, BETTER) find a rhinestone or two in their natural state!

I also had a change in my work schedule which started last week. I used to work 4 10's-We thru Sat. But they moved me to 5 8's Tues-Sat. I miss the extra day off I used to have, but I do enjoy coming home earlier...that is except for the days that they put me 1-10 pm. I am a little annoyed by that one, but that is another story. I also work at 2 different facilities, I live by my calendar day by day!

I did get some scrapping done, of course--here are a couple of pages for you to see. I joined the Go Digital Scrapbooking Supreme Team competition-they are looking for a Creative Team (CT). There are over 200 people in the competition, WOW! This was the 1st week, with the project of using a certain kit and only that kit (but you could cut it up or change the color of the pieces if you wanted). There are so many different styles out there, and they want you to comment on each page (which I have been doing), too! Whew! I am tired thinking about it!!

Oh, and it has been snowing again. Not a lot, but it has been. My crocuses have been blooming, hope they don't freeze~apparently they don't know it isn't yet spring.

Don't forget, this morning was the time to Spring Forward! Hope you didn't lose too much sleep, LOL

Till we meet again~B

Another One-kit CT...

This kit is called 'Castles in the Sky' by Cathi Cher, my fave part are the papers, they are amazing!!

I love the colors, too-so pretty!

This page is our little princess, she is trying to figure out how to suck her thumb...LOL

Later alligator!
