It has been well over a month since I have blogged last, I really have not had much to write about or share. I have been in a scrappin funk. I am hoping to turn that around soon and get my hiney in gear. I am not big on New Year resolutions but I like to set goals. So, I think I will set some scrapping goals. Just don't know what they are yet.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas season with each other. I got to spend my time with some loved ones. Our Christmas was very nice, the food was nice, but most of all just being together and having each other was the best of all.

Here are a few projects I did over the holidays. One of the ladies over at

http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm who is a design team member hosts a new word each week. That weeks word was (hold)

The next word was (stop)

and the next word was (today)

so these are my layouts for those words. I am behind on one word.

Christa has put her new kits for January up over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm and they look yummy. She always has these kits jam packed. There will also be a card kit coming out named after my very best friend Lori who won the 12 weeks of Christmas contest. I want to say a huge congrats to her. I have one last project to share before I go, this was a gift to my step-mom for Christmas.

New Kits...

Christa has new kits over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm These kits are outstanding. Christa really outdone herself on these.

So Sad...

My time is up over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm I want to thank Christa for having me as a Guest Designer. I had a blast designing with her kits. Things are always busy here with the kids, B and his hockey. He has hockey 4 to 5 times a week. T and her marching band, which is now over. Her last competition she had at the end of October they took Grand Champions and numerous other trophies. T now moves on to her Latin Dance team competitions. I can't keep up with every thing I'll tell you. We have 4 calendars going here at the house just to keep track of everything. Today is Election Day remember to get out there and vote. I will when hubby gets home today. Mr. B is home sick today, he has that dry hacking cough and fever. I really know he does not feel good when he has to miss hockey. I also wanted to mention Christa has some new kits in over at The Mosy Scrapper and they are wonderful. Go and check them out. Christa also has a new card kit featured this month. There is also a big sale in the store going on..... check it out.

Spooky...............

Spooky Banner I made for my term over at http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm

Sometimes.....

you just have to swallow your pride and say your sorry. Sometimes we say things when we are hurt and angry and we don't really mean them. I am one of these people. This is a fault of mine that I have. When I have been hurt, I want to hurt back and it is usually with words. Now that the damage is done- can it be fixed? Could it ever be the same? Could we ever make it work? I guess we will never know, if we don't try. I miss you, I miss talking to you.

Has gone on since I blogged last. The mosey scrapper has wrapped up it's 1/2 birthday crop (and it was a blast) my good friend Lori won the grand prize. Mr. B had a declaration tournament over the weekend and T had a field show for band. So it has been some very busy weeks. It is only going to get busier. I get to go and meet Lori for Pine Cone Press tonight and I am excited. Here are some things I have worked on for the 1/2 birthday crop and Pine Cone Press Class.

1/2 Birthday Crop....

The http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm is having a 1/2 birthday crop this coming up weekend. I am so excited and very ready. If you have time please stop buy and sign up and stay awhile. There is great conversation, great challenges and even some great prizes to be won as well.

All Good Things Do Come To An End......

Well on Friday my Best Friend Lori Surprised me for my Birthday at a crop here locally at one of our fav. places to shop. She had a table all set up for me with my gifts and balloons and even my favorite cake..... pineapple upside down cake. It was all very beautiful. I was very surprised by it all. She is such a stinker. We had a great night just laughing and telling stories, poor Mary (the store owner) she thinks we are nuts. I did not get home till almost 2 in the morning. It was a late night. Lori made me the most beautiful collage ever, she also got me not 1 but 2 Sally Jean charms. Lori also made me this adorable Fairy jar with tiny beads at the bottom. I also got the most adorable box that says party girl on it, she is a creative genius I tell you. She could really make this stuff and sell it on Etsy. Here is some of the pics I took of the items she made me. I am posting these with Lori's permission. I also had the chance to finish a layout of me and T.

Only 1 More Day Till My.......

Birthday. UGH I am getting so old. I am just lucky now days I wake up. I wanted to post here I got some good news last night. My husband and I found out our son Mr. B made a travel team for hockey. I was so happy for him. Now on the sour note...... we still have to pay more money and that does not include the weekend stays out of town for tournaments. The good news is I will not be hosting Thanksgiving. The bad news is we will be eating at a diner some where. I was able to start working on some of my layouts for the PineCone Press Book Club I started back up with my best friend Lori. This month our host Mary made her own kit and we used the GO FIGURE book which was pure genius. Loved this whole concept. We are to use and incorperate numbers into our layouts or projects.

Where Do I Start?

I have been absent for a bit.... I got my finally entry in for the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm I was pretty happy with it. I did a clear album. I did not make the design team, but I will be guest designing for the month of October. I will have to retake pictures and post them on here. Last week was a tough week for me I don't know where to even start. Monday- I had a full can of soda explode all over my kitchen and it took me over 2 hours to clean. Tuesday- our sump pump went out and had water flooding our lower level bathroom, and had to replace the sump pump at almost 9 o clock at night. Luckily home depot was just up the street and was still open. Wednesday- I had another soda burst open. The mess was not as bad. Thursday- well that day was just a blurr. Friday- did get better. It was my anniversary. My honey sent me roses and they were beautiful. I did get some layouts finished Sat.

Moving on up.....

Well I made it to round three. For round two we had to make a card- any kind of card. This one was a tough one for me. I am so card challenged, but I made it through over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm I also did this layout for a guest design team spot and well I guess maybe there are better things planned for me.

Guess Who Won.....

Round one over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm search for a design team member. Yep that's right, that would be me. I was so excited. Now I have to make a card and use chipboard and felt. Let's see what I come up with. Here is my layout I did to move on to round two.

I can post this one.....

since I was not selected for the guest DT over at the http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/index.htm oh well maybe next time around.

Things to Share...

I wanted to post a couple of ATC cards I made for the girls over at http://themosyscrapper.forumakers.com/portal.htm. A few of us decided to have an ATC swap and here is what I came up with. I hope they like them.

A Few Things I Have Worked On....

These are a few things I have worked on the last few days. I really didn't do much over the 4Th of July weekend. I did manage to get a few layouts finished. Mr. B got 3 home runs the other night at his t-ball game and he was pretty stoked about that. I of course was like that is my son. T is pretty busy with her new boyfriend. They are so cute together.
