Alright, alright, alright, alright....

I am not gonna mention that it has been a month since I last blogged...Nope not gonna do it. I am just going to move on and share away. LOL!

So I have been busy it seems. Not really doing much but just seems like I have ha! I went to PMP 3 times last month. Once for Nikki's rockin class. Love that lady. I will show the pages soon.



Took my daughter last Friday and we cropped together. She had a good time and loved to hear Suzy's snort. We both had a good giggle. Got to talk with the lovely Daniela. Great to catch up.


I have seen a million and one movies...Here is a quick run down.
Friday the 13th-awesome
Slumdog Millionaire-Very good
Savage Grace-uhhh really strange
Extreme Movie-YIKES!
Eden lake-Really excellent
The wackness-WTF
Rachel getting married-eh

I know there are more I just can't remember them.

The new Mojo is up! I actually posted mine this time. YAY for me. I got the new sass line and woot is it lovely! Have to say one of my fav manufacturers. Here is my take on it.


Fun fun come play along. The girls did an amazing job! Oh and we are still looking for a few Mojo girls to add to the team.

Hubby graduated from school with honors! YAY hubby! I knew he would. Now hopefully he finds a good job. Keep us in your prayers and thoughts.

Hmmm I have some other things in the works but wont share them yet. I hope you all had a wonderful Feb and that March is starting off on the right foot! *eeek only 11 more days till my Birthday!*

Tonight we drink to you

Feb has approached like a speeding train. Why oh why does time continue to go so fast but yet so slow lol! I know that probably didn't make much sense. In my weight loss it seems like I have been doing this forever...8 months on the 6th and I have lost a total of 113 lbs. I have been keeping a food journal and been doing more exercise. I looked at my before pic the other day and almost fell out of my chair! How is it that we see ourselves a certain way then come out of the fog and see the true us? I fooled myself for so many years in thinking "I m not that big"...Boy was I wrong! I am very thankful for this surgery and the life it has given me back. This addiction was and is a tough one to kick.

On to some really cool news. I applied to be a garage girl...If you don't know there is this cool store in Freemont run by a super cool lady named Suzy West. I am sure you know her one way or another. She is so funny and sweet. I am super excited to work with her and all the dt. My lovely friends Kerry Lynn and Nikki teach there! I miss them. Haven't seen any of the girls (ginger, Diane,) in a while now and I need my scrapn girls day fix. I hope to make it out there this Friday to pick up my assignments.

I wish I had some scrappyness to share...But alas I have none. I am working on the next mojo. I'll have that one up the 20th. I will however leave you with a pic my cousin took of my son and I.

Yep that's how I roll! Have a wonderful week!

Oh baby just you shut your mouth.

Back again for another blog installment. I feel like I fell off the face of the Internet world. Let me see...What do I have to share?? Well I posted the new Mojo challenge. Fun fun fun! I am working on mine but had some other things that came up. It is half done. I'll finish it up tonight. The girls did an amazing job. I really truly ♥ those girls. I think I will be holding a Mojo girl call because we had to say goodbye to 2 mojo girls Kristi and Christina. I am really sad to see them go. They are both talented and wonderful girls to work with.

I did finish up one of the pages with my RVK (last months). Here it is.



I also made a hair barrette and a necklace with the kit. I love those cut lil Sassafras creatures. I just glued them on to some thick chipboard cut it out and diamond glazed it. Same with the necklace. Then I colored the back with gold and silver to make it look like it was metal. Not to bad eh?







I wanted to give the necklace a cracked glass/antique feel. Turned out alright.

As I was trying to snap some pics of the barrette in my hair my daughters came to bug. Of course they wanted their pics taken too.


Raven my oldest.


Aria (6) and me.


One of me that I kinda like. Over exposed but kinda cool.

I think that is about it. Hubby goes for his A+ cert tmw wish him luck!

My gal is red hot! Your gal aint doodly squat!

I am not starting this year out very good on the ol blog front am I? LOL! It is what it is what can I say. I just seem to be very busy lately. I had a nice little adventure last week. I went with my cousin to take her hubby down to Thermol Ca. A whole 9 hours away from us. It is near Mexico. Man was that a long A$% ride! I mean my butt hurt so bad. Nothing but dessert down there. It was a experience that is for sure. Can you believe dummy me left my camera! AGH!

Well I still have yet to finish the 2 pages I started but I WILL do that today. It was hubby's birthday weekend so no time. We went and seen My Bloody Valentine.

...Yes I loved it! The whole movie was in 3-d and yes it actually made me jump a few times. Besides it had my fav (supernatural) Winchester boy in it Jensen Ackles.

...Ohhh weee is all I will say lol! Can you believe it was sold out! They even had to add another showing at midnight! Crazy!



We also watched Charlie Bartlett last night. Excellent movie!

The new scrap n art is out. Some of my pages are in there. Not happy with a lot of them but oh well! Here are some.



Used the Kenner Road kit for this one. This one was suppose to go with my article but they did not include the page for some reason.













These are to showcase Manufacturers like MLS, GCD and Luxe. We couldn't use much else but the product they provide.

The new Mojo goes up tmw you wont wanna miss it. It is a pretty fun one!

That statue of baby jesus in the window of the .99 store

Well how was your holidays? I think I am getting back to my old self.


  • I started walking again with my kids and hubby.

  • My daughter is now my work out partner.

  • My desk is a huge mess!

  • Added some new music to the playlist.

  • I actually want to scrap!
    I miss it a bit. I just couldn't find time while I was sick.

Some sad news...RVK is closing. I'm very very sad. I love Rachel, Jen, Theresa, and Michelle. I loved the kits Rachel put together and it was such a honor to be on that dt. I know whatever she goes on to do will be very wicked cool.

One of my fav ladies died in dec. Bettie Page. So sad but she lived a long life and a good one too.

Been playing Millionheir on the DS and watching movies. I have seen...Eagle Eye (pretty good), Mama Mia (eh), Burn after reading (very interesting), Curious case of Benjamin Button (wicked great) and I think that is it. Still have to watch a few movies.



I've lost 102 pounds and am almost on my 7th month. Man the holidays were rough! I am just grateful I managed to lose 2 pounds lol!

I went out and bought me some new shirts and other junk. It is so nice to shop in a regular store. The prices are so much better. Although I did buy a majority of my clothes at torrid...I'm just glad they have smaller sizes too because I love that store. Hehe!

I will be back tmw or the next day to post some work I am most def going to do lol! Also gonna go leave some love for my fellow bloggers. I am such a slacker!
Tell me what you did for New Years.

Tell your friend Veronica It's time to celebrate Hanukkah

Man does time fly! Especially at Christmas time! OMG it seems like it was just Thanksgiving and Christmas is only like 7 days away! AGH!

I am doing a bit better. It is so not as bad as it was. I still get vertigo but only when I look at things that move and when I walk. Much better then almost every min of the day that is for sure! So I have hope it is on the mend. Thanks for all your kind words and well wishes. They mean a lot to me.

We did manage to get our tree up and decorated...Well my kids did anyway lol! I have pics that I need to edit but you know how that goes.

Before I got sick I started this page at a crop my cousin and I went to. I had it all layed out but didn't glue anything down. So I decided to get it out yesterday and glue it all down. Some old stash stuff on this page.



This is my aunt. I love her very much and am lucky to call her my aunt.

Thanksgiving was nice. I felt like crap but it was nice. I went to see my cousins and aunt and snapped this pic of my little turkey head. My cousins boy Markie. He is such a doll.



We took the kids to see Santa at the bass pro shop that just opened up in Manteca...OMG! That place is freakin huge and insane! I mean the kids were hypnotized by all the cool stuff to look at. They had a station to write a letter to Santa and a red ryder shooting range for the kids and crafts table. All free! It was awesome.


Aeden sending his letter to santa.


Aria writing a letter to santa.

My daughter Raven went to her 2nd dance. She looked so beautiful. My little girl is growing so fast. She makes me feel so old. I'm 31 and she is 13 sheesh!

My hubs took me to so see Nothing like the Holidays..It was cute. I liked it and we also seen 4 Christmases. FUNNY!

I have lost 100 lbs now and am on my 6 month. I'm hoping to lose 20 more this month but I don't think that is gonna happen. Man the holidays are hard. So much good food I cant have.

We had some sad news last night. One of your babies (cats) got hit by a car in front of our house. He wasn't even 1 years old yet. My kids cried so hard. My son Rowan said " Why did he have to die in December this is suppose to be a happy time." I felt so bad. I had just went out and put the lights on and he was loving on me. I picked him up and hugged him and said he was getting so big. He was such a sweet cat. I told my kids he is in heaven keeping grandma Linda's lap warm and telling her how wonderful they all were. SIGH.

Well I think that is pretty much it. I am working on RVK stuff and hope to get it done today or tmw. Hope your holidays are going smoothly!

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

I wish I could say I was relaxing all this week. Taking a break from blogging and Internet life, scrapbooking and just plain anything. Sadly that is not why I haven't been around. Last week I started feeling strange. Everything around me was spinning. It was like I was on a tea cup ride and couldn't get off. I was miserable! I thought maybe I had a vitamin deficiency but after a few days it wouldn't go away so I finally went to the hospital fri night. Turns out I have a virus called BPPV. I guess it is common but in most people it isn't constant. Mine is constant 24/7 vertigo. I cant get up to put my tree up, I can barely sit at this computer and type. They tell me it can take a month to go away. UGH! I am trying to get past it and walk slow not stand up for to long blah blah that kind of stuff. If I don't move my eyes or head then I am ok. I am pretty bummed because I have so much I wanted to do. My RVK is coming any day now and I have such big plans for it...Kerry Lynn has a class in freemont on sat I was going to go to now I doubt it because well I cant drive lol! I miss that girl. I need to decorate the inside of my house and tree and clean and do mojo agh!

Anyway there are worse things that could happen to me or someone I love so I am thankful that it isn't one of those things and that this could go away. I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving and are getting your shopping done early this year...I know I m not lol!
