Introducing Chocolate Chip or Choco For Short!

Here is a set I just finished today using my friend Kristal's patterns. I like the way he turned out, I was a little worried about using the tear technique since it is something I have never been able to master, but it turned out better than I expected.

Get Hoppy!!

I am hoppy to be able write that I have been feeling SO much better these past two days! As soon as the rain and humidity moved out of the area I was like a new person. It is supposed to remain dry here for the next 4 or 5 days and that will be a real treat for me.

On to my newest post : These little guys are part of the May Challenge we are holding on my scrapbooking group. I was not thrilled with how they turned out at first, but they have begun to grow on me.

I have to give credit where credit is due for the pattern for the very hoppy guys. My good friend Kristal - A.K.A Gypsy, makes and sells her wonderful patterns, this is just one of the many she has on her blog. So if you have the time, hop on over and check out her work. She is really great at what she does! http://yourgypsygirl.blogspot.com/Artwork/Scrapping

I will be posting some more of my work made with Kristal's patterns later this week, so keep checking back for that!

Quick Post...

This will probably me my quickest post ever. We are having terribly humid and rainy weather here, along with strong storms. I am pretty much in agony with my TN and can't do much but take medication and hope for better days. Hopefully I will be feeling much better next week so I can post more. Until then, here is a little something I made for my soccer-loving boys' pages. You can't tell by the picture, but the ball has pop dots under it to make it 3-D, and I hand cut all of those flames which about made me crazy!

In A Baby Mood...

Let me clarify what I mean by that title - I am not having , or thinking of having another, baby! As much as I love a baby, there is no way. My baby having days are over. With my age and condition, it would be impossible. When I say I am in a baby mood it means that I am thinking about trying to finish up the last of my boys' baby books. Oh, I know! It is terrible that I still have baby pictures to scrap when I have a 13, 11 and 8 year old. The problem is , I have scrapped almost every single picture ever taken of them. Let me tell you, that is a lot of pictures, too! I have been using my New Arrival Cricut Cartridge a lot this week. I am sure you can pick out some things on this layout I am posting from that cartridge. I love this layout! It was originally made for a good friend's daughter-in-law. I am going to change it around a little for my boys, use some different colors maybe. The little bear will be the only thing I will keep, since I am just in love with him :)

I have other things to post, but no time right now. I have not been feeling well at all this week due the the rainy and damp weather. If being inside and in pain have any advantage it is that I am getting some scrapping done.

As always, let me know what you think!

And to all the moms out there and moms to be - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! Do something nice for yourself Sunday :)

Lady Bug, Lady Bug, Fly Away...

I like lady bugs so I made a whole set of these little ones. They were kind of a pain to put together, but I think they turned out pretty good. The one that is flat on the bottom is made to lay across a picture or photo mat, she looks really cute like that. When I get them actually put into a layout I will post that, too.

Hope all of you are having a great Monday, it is rainy and humid here, making my TN act up more than it has in the past few weeks :( I am praying for more warm, dry, mild weather soon.

Feeling Pretty Good

I have had a decent week! I can't even recall the last time I have felt this good for so long...well last night was painful, but all in all I have felt pretty good this week :))) It's Friday, the weather is absolutely perfect, my pain is minimal as I type this, and I have the entire weekend to scrap! What more could I ask for?

Here is a little bear I made the other day - I think he is pretty cute. He was made from a coloring page. The cheapest type of pattern around :) I used my favorite stamps - Peachy Kean Stamps - for his cute little face.

I plan on working on my boys' books this weekend so hopefully I will have some actual layouts to post next week!

It's Raining, It's Pouring....

All it seems like it does here anymore is rain. Rain makes my TN all crazy so I dread the rain in any form. I do so much better when it is dry.

I did a medication change almost two weeks ago and I am actually starting to feel a little bit better :) The pain in my face and teeth is not as constant and not as horrible. Lets hope this medication works for me. It is cheap and is really the last chance I have medication wise.

Since it is raining today, and will be most of the holiday weekend, I am posting a little "Think Spring" set I made. Hope you all like them. They were very difficult to do!

To everyone who will be celebrating the Easter holiday - have a great one! I can't wait to make some Easter eggs with my boys :)
