What's been going on...

in your world? I've been a scrapping fool lately. A whole bunch of stuff came at one time so I just have been plugging away. I'm so excited...I just hit the send button and sent off my 3 Guest Design Team projects for Dream Street Papers! WOOHOOO. I can't wait til the newsletter comes out so you can see them. I had a blast.
Just a few more days and I can show you the January kit for IAmAScrapaholic! It rocked. I have never used Prima Paintables before and I am in love!!

Speaking of Prima...not to much longer now and they should be announcing the DT. Can't wait to see who it will all be.

Hope you have a safe and fun New Year. We are staying home...scrapping...playing the Wii...just being together!

I've included a few layouts that I have done recently. Sorry I haven't posted them sooner. It was kinda hard getting over the Christmas Eve and Nanny and I really didn't feel up to posting. But hopefully things will get back to normal for me.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my friends. I love you dearly.
But most of all...Merry Christmas Nanny. I love and miss you more than I ever imagined!

I new it would be tough

But I just didn't think it would be this hard. I can't go a day with out thinking of her...my Nanny. I spend every day crying. Wishing she was still here. I knew it would be hard at Christmas but I guess I just didn't realize how hard. Here we are just a few days from Christmas Eve and I don't want it to get here. Because I know I want be at her house...I want be seeing her...I want be putting up her Christmas tree....it's just a lot more than I can deal with.

I decorated a little tree and put it on her grave site. I plan to go Christmas Eve day and just sit and talk with her for a bit. Just her and I. I loved talking with her.

We take so many things in life for granted. We tell our family and friends...I will see you next week...or give me a call in a month or so...but what if next week doesn't ever come. We don't know what GOD has planned for our future or how long we will be here. So why is it that we are so stubborn and don't live for the moment...take that extra time to say thank you...to tell someone you love them...to give that needed hug. I don't....do you??? I keep telling myself to live each day as it is your last but it is so hard to do. I put off things to the following week or tell the kids I will do it later...I don't know....just rambling I guess. I just know that right now...today....this moment...I miss my Nanny horribly. And I wish I would of taken that extra time to pick up the phone and call her...or stop by to say hi as we are driving by. I wish.

This Christmas is hard. It's very hard. And I hope she is up in heaven....watching over me...and that she knows how much I love her and how much I miss her.

Good Sunday morning

It's cold and windy here. No snow even though I am wishing for it. The kids are off with their dad doing some Christmas shopping for me this morning. IT's so funny because they will call ever so often and say....generally speaking would you like so in so...giggle. Those goof balls. While they were gone I got some wrapping done ;)

We went and saw Finley yesterday. She is my friends baby who was born Friday morning. 9.5lbs. She is such a cutie. I wanted to hold her so bad yesterday but I know if I do then I will get back into my wanting another baby mode and that just makes me sad cause I know I want ever have another.

Also got my Blurb albums mailed off yesterday. I sure hope my family loves them. I know I love mine.

Abby has tagged me but I gotta find the tag stuff first...giggle

Doing some more catching up

It's been another whirlwind week. With Basketball practice, camping, Boy Scouts and more band stuff. Hoping...insert crossed fingers...that this next weekend will slow down and I can have some down time.
I got one layout finished today. That's huge since I haven't scrapped in a few weeks. I hope to go and get some more done. Lord knows I have plenty of pictures...just need the inspiration right now. That is what I seem to be lacking.

Waiting on my goodie box from Dream Street Papers to get here. I need to make 3 projects to be posted on Janaury 1. no pressure right :) I'm totally excited as this will be my first GDT spot with ANY manufacturer!!!

I also just sucked up the nerves and submitted my application for the Prima DT call that is currently out. Crossing fingers. That would be so much fun!

Well...off to take a long, hot shower (well not really long since we are still in conserving water mode) but at least a relaxing shower...then try and gather some things to scrap :)

Bad me I know...

I just haven't been around to post much. Lots happening here. The football team lost the playoff game so they didn't make it to the dome :( but they ranked somewhere 5th-8th in the state. That is still something to be proud of. Kayla did really great in the parade saturday and I went to my company holiday party and was awarded a wonderful surprise : Outstanding Service Award and $1000! I was very surprised about that. So cool.

This month at IAmAScrapaholic we got to work with the new K & Company Ancestry line. Oh my it rocks. Here are some of my pages....enjoy :)

This weekend we are going camping and hopefully things will settle down for me so that I can get back to all the things I love to do. Crossing fingers
