Cards!

Just dropping in quickly to share some cards I've done for CPS! :)
Here's #254: Sponsored by Lil'Inkers

and here's #253 sponsored by The Twinery!

it has of course just been crazy here as usual...We finished up basketball season... Morgan getting to go with Varsity to the playoffs and now we are moving into baseball season  and there seem to be games everytime I turn around! That and now track as well! We had our first track meet last night and Morgan running on Varsity (first year)... took 7th in the 800m and 6th in the mile...Madison (freshman) took 3rd in both the 2mile and the mile... she will move to varsity next week! woot!!

then we have the twins Matthew and Makenna playing all stars for basketball and they have practice and games non stop as well!! Just when I think it's gonna slow down, it usually doesn't! LOL

We've been dealing with some teenage heartbreak around here too so there's been lots of mommy time for 2 of them... it's all good though and things work out the way they should!

I think that's a good catch up for now!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Happy Birthday Kimber!!!

Well Miss Kimber as you turn the big 40... I just want you to know.. I'm NOT there yet! ;) hehe

I sure do miss our CHA adventures together (hotel rooms... beer at the not supposed to have been after parties *snicker*, whoopie cushions etc...).. it seems forever since we have caught up... I'm so proud to see all of your well deserved success in the scrap business.. you are truley one of the hardest working women I know!

I hope your day is absolutely fabulous, that Bill spoils you rotton and all your birthday wishes come true!

Here's my card for you!

Been busy!!

Finally able to jump back into some scrapping! I don't realize how much I miss it until it's been a month since I've been in my room! *shock!*

I've been playing with the beautiful January My Scrapbook Nook kit....
here are a few things I've done!

First up is a layout about my oldest daughter and this past year she spent doing competitive cheer!

 and then a few quick and simple cards as well! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Update!

Yes I'm alive and kicking!!
To say it's been crazy around here would be an understatement! LOL
Catchup...
Madison went to State with the marching band... they were the smallest 2A band there and the 2nd smallest band in the 1A division (we are 2A)... anywho we are proud to say we took 13th place in the state of Texas!! Not too shabby for our first trip to the State competition!! :)

Our little football team that could made it all the way the the Quarterfinals in the State playoffs so of course we were traveling to those games and well as Madison cheering and marching...

Soon after that I lost internet connection for a good 2 &(&*%^*^*&( weeks... got that back up and running just in time to land my ass in the hospital! :( I was there for a week... and it sucked!!! I was out thankfully just in time for the holidays home with the family... and once I've got through those I'm finally out and kickin'!! :)

Hows that for a quick summary!?
Now for some fun stuff... I'll be back soon with some creations... I've been trying to get busy and find my mojo again and what better way to do it than with a CROP!?
My Scrapbook Nook has really kicked into gear this year and we have a 5 week crop going on and would love for everyone to come over and check it out and play along!! LOTS of amazing prizes and tons of inspiration!! :)

My Scrapbook Nook has also started a blog... check us out!! :)

So Ready for the Weekend!

This has been one of those blah weeks... the weather has been up and down. From shorts early in the week to bundle up tight clothes today! We are winding down football season here and getting ready to start basketball season!
Our Varsity team will be moving to the playoffs in a couple weeks and of course we will travel to go and watch all that goodness... plus Madison will move to Varsity cheer for playoffs and will continue to march with the band at half time...

speaking of band...
Last week we competed in UIL Area Band contest to see who would go to state. The made the Area finals (24 bands... top 10 went to finals)... those top 10 bands again played their show and the top 4 from that would advance to state. We placed SECOND in finals and will advance to STATE this coming week! So we travel to San Antonio Sunday to support Madison and the Maverick band in the competition... we are the little band that could I swear... at a whopping 44 members big we are one of the smaller 2A bands.. but we are GOOD!!! Good luck Thundering Herd!!

Thought I'd share some cards that I've been working on lately...
Here are a coupld CPS cards for the past couple weeks...

and then a few more using the My Scrapbook Nook October Kit... I am STILL pulling stuff from this kit and have tons left!! :) gotta love that!

 this first card is for a "round and round" challenge over at the Nook... go here to come play along!

I'll be busy right up till we leave on Sunday... so I will check back in then and update everyone with the State results!! :)

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Thanks for stopping by! :)
