Finally a LAYOUT!!!

I have a workshop tomorrow night and I finally got a layout done. My girls wanted to do the July "workshop on the go" this month because most of them went to the zoo over Memorial Day weekend. I changed it up a little bit because I was supposed to use the "Sweet Baby" stamp set, but used "It's a Zoo" instead.

These pictures were taken at Grant's Farm in St. Louis last July. We went with my friend Kathy, her husband, and their grand children. We really had a great time and I got some Great pictures.

The weather here in Southern Illinois is very hot and HUMID! I know it has been raining a lot, but I think I would rather have the rain and it be cool than it be sunny and humid. When it's this kind of weather all you want is lay in the pool and relax, but unfortunately I have to work and the pool is not ready yet. James started on it tonight so maybe it will be ready for our vacation in about a week.

Hope everyone has had a great Thursday and is gearing up for a great weekend! We are having a sleepover on Saturday night so it should be lots of fun. Just hope Kassidee can control the green eyed monster... LOL!

Have a great night everyone.

Stay Cool and Be Blessed!

I recieved an Award!

I received this from a fabulous blogger Sarah!!!! What an honor. You are so very talented.
The friend award comes with the following description to be added and passed along.
“These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.” It also says : “Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.” I nominated these fellow creators due to the wealth of enthusiasm and encouragement they leave in comments to so many out there, myself included!

Some SWEET Blog Candy

I was just blurfing around and came across this blog. Stampin' Caz over at A Stamping and Chirping Corner is offering up some great blog candy. She has hit over 200,000 hits on her site and is sharing the love. Her birthday is also coming up on the 12th of May and this is another reason to celebrate. So go check out her blog, She has some awesome stuff.

My silly little girl got her daddy's hats out the other day and couldn't decide which one to wear. So I guess to make it easier you should just wear all three.

Hope everyone had a great day and is gearing up for a great weekend! If I don't get back on here before Sunday I hope all the mother's that are reading this has a great Mother's day. I know I am on the look out for a flowering almond for my mom, and they seem to be hard to come by. I also can't wait for another beautiful Saturday and that means lots of YARD SALES!!! :)

Have a great night and.....

Be Blessed!

3 2 1... Blast Off!!!!

I have just been randomly picking out picture and scrapping them lately. These pictures were taken at Six Flags 2 years ago. James and I took turns riding the rides with Kassidee. She was 3 at the time. I of course had to ride the Marvin the Martian ride because he is my FAV-O-RITE cartoon character. I don't know why he is, but I just like that little green guy.
Anywhoo, I used some more Stardust paper for this layout and who would of thought I would have used so much "boy" paper (that's what my workshop girls call it) for my little girl. I think you can dress any paper up for a girl, but it's a little harder to do for a boy. I guess God did had a plan for me when He blessed me with Kassidee. He knew my little pea brain couldn't figure out how to do boy layout's. LOL!
I hope you enjoy your weekend. I hope to hit some rummage sales tomorrow and get the garage cleaned out. So I can get my scrap area set up good.
I hope everyone has a great National Scrapbooking Day tomorrow and I hope to see you back here again soon.
Welcome to all my new followers and thanks for all the comments everyone has been leaving. I love hearing from you. Even if all you want to do is say Hi!.
Glad you stopped by.
Be Blessed!
