You really got a hold on me.

I have been meaning to blog for the past few days but I just didn't have any work to share. I always like to throw in a page here and there. Oh and it was a insane week. I swear do you ever feel you can live a lifetime in a matter of hours? Days? That is how I felt this week. Not a good week. I just have to hold on to the hope that it gets better and not worse.

On a happy note I did end up going down to Oakdale on Fri to crop with my cousin. We were gonna go to Suzy's in Fremont but somehow we decided gas and my car leaking wasn't a good idea to drive that far. We had a good time. I do miss the girls up there but I'll catch them next time hopefully. My cousin and I laughed our asses off and the owner was a sweetie. There was one older woman there that got 15 pages done! WTF?!? We called her the Paginator (like terminator)! Usually at crops I get maybe one page done sometimes not even finished. Fri I got 3, yes 3, pages done! WOW! I was really feeling blah about my work lately. UGH! But these came out ok. I hate feeling stale.


Ohhh circus pics!



My uncle, his mom, and his grandmother. I stole this from cousin. She was gonna scrap it and couldn't find paper she wanted to use. I took it and put it under that frame and it went perfectly! Sorry cousin! But I told her she could have the page after I took my pics. I was at a loss for the title and man you should have heard us making up crap. Seriously we were cracking up but I don't think I should repeat what they were lol! Let's just say her grandmother wasn't a very nice lady mmkay?

Ohhh did u see the sneak for RVK? I just posted it!

Blood and tears

This is for Dina, Kenner Road and my lovely friend Kerry Lynn...We moved around a lot (when I was a kid) and I cant say it was a great thing. I didn't like any city I lived in really. Tough growing up making friends and then leaving. Being a new kid sucks. So the only street I can say I grew up on is Tina Ln...That was my grandma's street. She was the only constant I had. I was over her house everyday practically. Her house and that street was my wonderland.

If you want a chance to win some fab prizes then click those links above! Kerry has a wonderful project she started and I know you wont wanna miss it! Look at how lovely this stuff is!



RVKC stuff coming on tues. It is all done and ready to post! YAY! Did you see the updates to the blog? Michelle is a master digital girl! I said can u make some woodgrain tabs and she freakin rocked it! I am working on some blinkies to go on blogs so we can all show love for RVKC hehe!

Ohhh I made a art journal for Rachel's online class! OMG if you haven't signed up for this you so should. It is so inspiring!

I did this page for a special project. I cant say what it is but maybe I'll be able to share some good news soon!



Used a lot of Glimmer Mist and the prize stuff I won from OLW! That paper is very pretty!

Oh and happy happy! I hit the 60 lb mark! YAY!!! I'm so stoked!

Hope you are having a fab weekend!

Mother mother are ya listening

I got some random things to share. The new ScrapMojo challenge is up and I think its a pretty fun one. Well I had fun with it anyway.



Of course this is my sister Janna. I used the bumper sticker "my honor student kicks your honor students ass". I used glimmer mist for the splatters and also on the hambly frames. The woodgrain dymo type is made from plastic of course. Come play along with us. Heather (metrochic) is our guest. I ♥ that girl.

Mojo is having a anniversary this month. Sept 13th was our first post! YAY! We will be having some fun things to offer.

I've lost 57 pounds...I'm almost on my 3rd month.

Should be getting the new RVK in the mail any day...Ack I cant wait. It truly is fabulous.

Dani nominated me for a cool award that I will get to on the next post! Thanks luv!

Oh and I made the catwalk! Woot!

I think that's it for now. Going to cousins house. Hope you all have a fab weekend!
