Today was Relaxing

Today I did nothing but relax. I watched my Will and Grace of course, went through some pictures that I took of my niece for her upcoming graduation and relaxed with Saks. I have so much to do this week that I don't even want to think about it. One of the things that I need to do is look for end tables for the sides of my bed

Also, I need to finish up a photo book that I started of my vacation last week, do some scrapbook pages and try to survive Registration this week at work! Whew! on that note, I am going to bed..

YMCA, Macho Man and Tiara's

Okay so one of my Best Friends (Robin) invited me over to a VIPj Party (Meaning wear your pajamas and tiara's and leave the boys at home party). I thought it was a sleepover and offered to bring my blow up bed only to find out that we were all going home the same night LOL (Sorry Robin for the misunderstanding) Anyway, we had a blast. From seeing Nana (she was so pretty) to passing the pig, to doing the Hokey Pokey, the Stroll and the Electric Slide..THEN THERE WAS...The Village People..We did YMCA and Macho Man and did NOT realize how LONG those songs were back then!!! LOL..We were worn out! Our mustache's kept trying to come off while we were dancing, I think two people put theirs back on backwards and upside down (Bwah hahahaha)it was hilarious!! Then we had an impression of Dolly Parton workin 9 to 5 and she was SO funny, but she could WORK IT in those HIGH HEELS!! (I was impressed!) All in All it was a good night and had fun! (Thanks Robin, you ROCK!!)

And I'm Back...

Yes Blog I have been a bad girl and I have neglected you again..But now I'm back..have been up to so much lately that I haven't had the chance or (sorry to say the want) to blog. Thought I would start out with how I have been slowly (key word) working on my scraproom (Okay it's my walk in closet but I can call it anything I want to dangit! LOL)I love the organizing units from Michael's. I have been seeing them on alot of people's scraproom pictures on Scrapbook.com and TwoPeasinaBucket.com and so when I saw them at Michael's I had to try them. Only thing I don't like is they are not pre-made and you have to put them together on your own and they have a strong paint smell. Other than that they are great! LOLOL..I have to finish going through my pictures that I want to make black and white to cover up the wall behind the computer and get a couple of more organizing units and then I will be done. (Of course I will take pics of the completed project=). P.S. The "R" in the word SHORTY is crooked on purpose, I need a smaller nail to go in the wall..LOL

New Glasses ;)

Have been wanting new glasses for years now, and finally broke down and went to LensCrafters and bought a pair. Funny thing is, these were not the glasses that I originally intended on getting. I tried on about literally 100 pairs and finally decided on a pair, went home and the next day went in to get my eye exam and found the pair that I am wearing there and I didn't see them the day before. So I asked the lady if it was too late to change and she said "Nope, as long as we have not done your lenses you are good to go!" Anyway, I like them..Now I just gotta get a "New" Haircut and my look will be complete!

Pet Scrapbook Continues...

One of my favorite Scrapbook Designers is Candice Greenway. I absolutely "LOVE" all of her scrapbook pages. She does them mostly of her "four" legged babies and they always give me inspiration to continue with my scrapbook for Saks. If you have never seen any of her work check it out here. Anyway, I "scraplifted" one of her pages for Saks here:


Here's another page that I just did on my own:


Yay!! I'm getting my Mojo BACK!!

Going Through Some Old Pages

So I'm trying to get my Mojo back with Scrapbooking. It comes and goes all the time. Don't get me wrong..it's constantly on my mind, especially with all of the photos that I take, and I even have ideas in my mind at the time that I am taking photos, but it is the MOTIVATION to do so! I have to get myself motivated again or else I am going to be doing another purge soon of all these scrapbook supplies that I have. With that being said, I started going through some of my old pages in my books and started getting some more ideas. I plan to try to do at least two pages a week and maybe start on a mini album. I am almost done with the mini album I did on the Girls Night Out at the Acropolis and I think my next one will be about Family. Oh and I have to finish my Pet Scrapbook for Saks..See??? Ugggh!! So many projects with so little time..I will get it done though..

I'm In a Bad Mood Today

...So I had to scrapbook about it. Sometimes scrapbooking helps me release some of the anger and tension I have creatively. This page isn't Ooh La La but it expresses "exactly" how I felt today. I even had to call my Mom today to calm me down because I was about to explode at work today. Anyway, here it is:



I used stickers or Thickers from American Crafts, Notebook stamp from Unity Stamp Company and the chipboards are from Colorbok. I think I am going to need this WHOLE week to scrapbook all my anger out LOL..Anyway thanks for looking...

Working on A New MiniBook

Sorry the pic has a glare on it but I gave up after so many takes, but you can see where I am going with the book. It's about a night out with the girls at this Greek Restaurant called Acropolis. It was a very nice restaurant. It was my first time going and the girls wanted me to try this drink (or shot) of ouzo. It tastes alot like black licorice to me. Anyway, they have a tradition of throwing napkins up in the air (instead of plates) which I'm happy because alot of people would be injured with flying glass LOL..but I also feel bad for the staff that has to clean up all of the napkins at the end of the night. Anyway, fun was had by all and they are all waiting on me to finish this minibook, so I will post pics once it is all finished..

You Ever Feel Like...

You're running around in circles wondering where your day went, and that you got absolutely NOTHING accomplished? That's how I feel..I have so much to do and it seems like the day goes by and I have only done maybe 3 out of the 25 things that I needed to do in that day. UGGGH! and I'm normally really organized about things but lately I have been feeling out of sorts. I'm a year away from finishing up my 4 yr degree and it feels like it is taking FOREVER and now its in an area that I don't want to do anymore. I feel like moving more towards photography or interior design. But alas, it will be in Business Management. I cannot stand feeling this stagnant in what I want and need to do. My co-worker/friend and I were talking yesterday about how we feel like we are off track and our minds are in different places all at once and to prove it, she was at the bank to get money for concert tickets and she got so excited that she left the bank with the deposit tube in her car! LOL!



I had to take a picture of her before she took it back to the bank it was so funny and cute at the same time..I think we all need a much deserved vacation..

Day One..

Of starting to drink my 64oz. of water daily again. I don't mind drinking water, but my bladder does. That's the only thing that I don't like about it. Going to the store later to buy me some healthy Choice meals. AND gotta start exercising again. My knee is STILL bothering me but I will put my wrap around it and hopefully that will help. My goal is to lose some weight before I go on my Spring Break vacation.

I Think I'm Going To Try This...

Some of the SNL skits are so funny. This skit is about the birth control pill Annuale where you only have a period one time a year. The concept sounds good in the beginning but I feel like there will be some major consequences later for the women that take this pill. I think there is a reason that we have one every month, but hey that's my opinion. Anyway, this skit is hilarious because that's how I feel "every" month not just once a year..LOL

Also Working On..

Decorating my place..It's a slow process because I have so many things going on right now..I put the above quote in my bedroom next to the window..I like it =)..I also finished my diningroom wall not to long ago..Took the pictures with my phone camera so they look really fuzzy..Anyway got a compliment from a friend the other day who then asked "And why aren't you going for Interior Design?" I get asked this question all the time and I am flattered that people think I have great decorating taste and will ask me my opinion on how to decorate and ask me whenever they get their place will I come help them decorate it..I guess when you love something it shows =)

Still Working On...

My Pet Scrapbook..Went to JoAnn's Store the other day and found these oh so cute stamps of dogs..Will definitely be using them in my book. Will post pics once I decide how I want to do my pages...

Taking Over Momma's Space

Okay so sometimes I like to get down on the floor and watch TV. So I grab a pillow and a comforter from out of the closet and make myself comfortable so I can watch my show Will and Grace. The phone rings and I get up to go answer it, and guess who decides they want to come over and take over Momma's space?? Of course, my little man. You can see his bed in the background, but Noooo he had to come and lie down on my spot lol..Now normally he will get up and move whenever I start taking pictures of him, but he was so comfortable on "My Spot" that he didnt even flinch when I started taking pictures..Too Much
