I guess yesterday the craft bug finally crawled up my butt because I have been creating and haven't stopped. I made a TON of Halloween stuff. I will share those soon. I wanted to make sure I got this one posted on time for once. I have played the last 3 times and each time I forget to post my creation. Boy I made this one just by the hair of my chiny chin chin.
Used the new sass for this. Man is that the best co ever? I think so.
And this one I just made because I was trying to use my new stuff from sb.com...
My hubby was making her let me take the pic of her. Playing of course.
Cropin tmw with my cousin, Kristi and Beth. Should be a great time. There is a few spots left if anyone wants to join us. I really need to get what I am going to work on ready because if I dont I will sit there and talk the whole time and not do a damn thing.
Ohhh my kittens are getting so big. Anyone want one? Come on they are soooo cute. See...
Hehehe. Those little buggers are quick so it was hard to get a good pic of them. This one is mine and his name is either Charlie or Edward. I have 2 girl kitties named Bella and Lola. So both those names go with them lol. Kittens kittens everywhere!
On the cooking front hubs and I made a most delish stew. We used gravey packs to make it a nice thick one. MMMMMMMMM! Then my daughter Aria and I made Halloween Cinamon rolls.
She enjoyed herself.
Then we watched Hocus Pocus and It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Man I love those movies. Sadly I havent seen any new scary movies as of yet T but I will be sure to report them when I do. T is my scary movie buddy.
We had a wonderful storm here the other day. Now it is gone and I am left with sun and warm weather yet again. BOOOO! LOL! It would be nice if it was at least 60 ish outside. Not 80! Oh well. Since there are many many pudles I decided it's time to pack in the flip flops and bust out the polka dotted Vans. Ahhh yes fall is here.
Last but not least over the weekend Beth did this wicked cool ZombieLand app on facebook and I HAD to copy her. Hehehehe I love it! Thanks Beth!
Next friday pumpkin patch! YAY! Halloween is fast approaching.
I have a few things I need to share. I will be cropping over here at my LSS on Friday the 16TH. She is having a crop till you drop on that Friday and Saturday. I can't make sat because it is my sisters bridal shower but I will be closing the place on Friday. Who wants to come and crop with me? No one? Aww come on lol!
The other thing is I have a class on Oct. 25TH (Home) it is 15.00 and everything is included except glue and cutting tools. Here is the example. It is called a triptych.
It makes a great christmas gift. Of course what says I love you more then a handmade gift anyway?! If you want to sign up let me know or if you want a kit let me know too. I can work something out for ya.
One more class I have in store. We are making 4 pages with the monstrosity line. Here they are.
20.00 on Nov 8th. We didnt go to the pumpkin patch but we do have tickets and will be going soon. Can't wait. I am hoping to try the zip line. EEEKKK! Love it!
I ♥ this time of year soooo much. I mean I think I say that to you all every year but seriously I love horror movies and this is like a dream month for me. So far I have watched ZombieLand-freakin awesome! Loved every min of it. Trick R Treat-pretty good I wasnt expecting it to be as good as it was. Last but not least The Hills Run Red- again another that I thought was gonna be cheese but I was suprised. If you are a horror movie fan I suggest you check them all out. If you are not but like horror/humor then you def must go see ZombieLand.
I would have seen more things but I have become like the countless million and became addicted to Facebook. I know most of you are saying where have u been? I just didnt want to give into the status quo but I eventually did and I wish I woulda done it earlier lol! I am more addicted to the games then anything. BLAH!
So no scrappyness to share really. I mean since facebook I havent done a damn thing. You would think between waiting for stuff to cook on cafeworld and killing people on mafia wars I would get something done...NOPE! A whole lot of nothing.
Yesterday was my mama's bday. Happy bday mama. The kids made a birthday song video for her. I was still in my jammies and had no makeup on so I wont share it with ya. LOL!
I am starting a accountability post on facebook. We are gonna have to account for our food for the day and share it with others who are on the post. If you want to get in on this let me know. I know I want to lose about 10 pounds more and or at least keep off what I have lost. I think this will help out a lot.
Well last weekend I went and did some scrapping with a new group of ladies at my LSS. It was all for scrap Pink weekend and I had a pretty nice time. I did however miss my scrappin buddy. Scrappin just aint the same without her (my cousin). I did get a few things done. I mostly just stared at my table and shuffled stuff around. I did organize my bag nicely. I soon messed it up when i got home tho. Anyway here are some of those pages.
My mess I made.
Some of the great ladies I met there.
Sweet ladies cheri and Maria.
These two had me laughing the whole time. They have been friends for a very long time and they were so funny to watch. Debbie and Mary Lou.
And finally I cleanned up my mess good. Hehehe!
Dont forget to check yourself and tell the ones you love the same thing. Also pray for those who have had or have cancer. Everyone could use a little prayer.
This friday we are off to Delosso farms here in lathrop. Love the pumpkin patch. Thanks grandma (mom) for the tickets!
Today I thought was gonna be my day I stay home and do NOTHING. By nothing I mean no going out and running around. I was wrong. I had to run down to the scrap store and drop off the glitter and glue for a few ladies who didn't make it to my class. Then I decided to run to big lots and pick up some cracker spread that I really like. Looked at the Halloween stuff for the umpteenth time. Decided ok time to hurry up and get my butt back home and back in my jammies. Here I sit in my jammies typing to you.
Anyway had my class on Saturday. Had a very fun time and I really like how the banner came out with the Eerie line. I have 4 kits I am going to put up in my etsy shop so if ya like what ya see...Well you know.
I also did some scrappin. Remember those pages I said I had found that I did not finish well I did finish one of them. I actually made this one for OLW again and didnt get it up in time AGAIN! LOL! What is new right?
I found some fun halloween crafts I am gonna link up for ya.
Start off with these cute witches hats. I am going to hang them from a branch along with some other stuff I will make and share.
I really want to make this for every season/holiday there is. Seems like a lot of work tho. I WILL make them.
In case any of you were wondering cousin did not win the papa murphy's challenge. I was super sad but I had so much fun that day. It was neat to be in a tv studio. A lot smaller then I thought. Here are some pics from our adventure.
My cousin signing her name on the wall in the green room.
Me doing the same thing.
Letterman Love
How did I get stuck with Dr.Phil? Where are the supernatural boys? Oh wrong network.
Cousin on stage. They let me take pics while they were filming.
I told her if she didnt win i was going to run up on stage and take the mic and say "I'm gonna let you finish but I got something to say. Crystal's pizza was the best pizza made." Yeah a little ode to Kanye. I am sure I would've been arrested. I do think she should've won but ah well. Like I said we had a great time.
One of our babies are sick (kittens). He just can't seem to get up there and fight to eat so I am now feeding him with a kitten bottle. I hope he makes it. ETA: Kitty didnt make it. He took his last breath last night. Sniff sniff.
Is this month flying by? Or is it just me? Yeah that's what I thought. EEeeekk! Ok I am off to create some more stuff and spring clean a bit. Hoarders was on and now hubby really wants to go through our shoes lol!
Wanted to first share one of my fav guilty pleasures on tv. If you haven't watched it and you like British humor (Monty python, Benny hill, just to name a few) then you need to check this show out.
Great is all I have to say. Comes on cartoon network Sunday nights at 10 p.m.
Hubs and I went and saw 9... Wonderful! Loved the animation just beautiful. The story was wicked great and my only complaint is that it went by to fast. Must see movie. I am waiting for Where the Wild Things Are. I love Maurice Sendak. My kids grew up on Little Bear. ZombieLand looks wicked cool. I want to see the (not so) horror movies that are coming out...Jennifer's Body, Stepfather, and Sorority Row. Can't forget this movie...Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant. Looks funny and awesome. One more....I sell the Dead. Not in my neck of the woods so I will have to wait for it on DVD.
I made hubby and I a little book to document all our wonderful little dates we have been going on. Such a beautiful time we have had together. All couples need some time alone and now that ALL our children are in school we go out while they are hard at work.
I'll be sharing the inside as I get it done and documented. I also made a few pages a while back and wanted to share them.
Card that goes with the pages I made but my computer is being so slow so I will have to post those next time.
Used the June Bug line for this. My son Aeden in S.F.
I have been trying to use my stash and clean up and organize and while doing this I found about 6 unfinished pages. Yeah sooo as soon as I find pictures for them they will pretty much be done. Nice surprise.
Speaking of nice surprises I get to go with my freakin WICKED AWESOME cousin Crystal on wed to the tv studio in Sacramento because she is going to be on T.V. She is in the top 5 finalists for a pizza challenge by Papa Murphy's! I mean how cool is that? I am so excited for her! If you are in this area make sure to watch on good a.m. Sacramento to see her do her cook off! EEEeeekkk I am sooo nervous for her but soooo excited for her and for me because I get to go and hang out there hehehehe! I am still in shock about it. I will be taking lots of pictures of course.
Well I was going to share my before and after pics but our computer crashed and I lost my before. Boooooo so sad! I had made a whole little thing and was so proud. Grrrrrr! I shake my fist at computers. Anyway I'll figure out something else soon.
Big brother is soon coming to a end. I am hoping either Jordan or Kevin win. I hate Natalie and I pray she doesn't weasel in there. Biggest Loser is coming up, Survivor, Modern Family, and Community are ones I am looking forward to. Supernatural has started up...One of my very fav shows. Love me some Dean ;) I am watching Americas Got Talent and grandma lee is talking. She is such a wonderful old lady. I love her to bits. I hope she wins.
Went to the crop on Friday. Had a wonderful time with my cousin. Here are pics of the nice mess we made.
I didn't actually make anything besides the mess but hey that is ok! My class is fast approaching and for those of you who can't make it I will be offering kits in my etsy so stay tuned for that. I will post pics of the finished banner as soon as I get my hands on the eerie line.
There is sooo many new sb stuff I want. Lovin all the new papers by Sass (of course) and Prima. Got some rockin Glimmer mists out there I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. In other money related news I have yet to paint my living room. Just can't swing the funds right now with hubs having no job and unemployment soon running out. I did get my curtains (don't remember if I already mentioned that or not). I really like them but can't wait till the walls are painted to see how it all comes together. Soon hopefully.
Did I tell ya'll that my cat had kittens? 7 to be exact. Yes 7! Here are some of the little buggers.
Anyone close by that would like one just let me know lol!
Ohhh and my pumpkins that I had to take off the vine. I got one more out there still growing.
Lastly watched the MTV music awards and was highly disappointed with Kenya West's rudeness. I am not a big fan of Taylor Swift I mean she is more my daughters type music but she won and was totally disrespected by him. I give great kudos to Beyonce for allowing her to finish on Beyonces time to shine. Not a huge fan of Beyonce but she def earned my respect.
P.s. I am in love with that photo site that I made all the polaroids with. It's called Rollip. Check it out my lovelies. Thanks Michelle!
How was your Labor day weekend? Mine seemed to be filled with stuff and it went by fast.
Do any of you watch big brother? Oh man that show is nuts. I never did use to watch it until his aunt came to live with us. Now I am hooked. I really wanted Jeff to win but since he is out I am not sure who I want to win. Right now I am watching the p.o.v. comp. Oh man and so many good shows are coming up. Can't wait for survivor.
As I stated in the last post this is one of my fav times of year. So many horror movies to watch so little time. I have about 4 recorded on the DVR and a few dvds to watch. Tmw I am going to see 9.
Can't wait for that. Looks really cool and my fav director produced it (Tim Burton) so if he is backing it, it must be good right?
Been trying to create every day again. Although it hasnt been every day it has been close. I am currently working on a date book for my hubby and I to keep track of all our wonderful time together. That will be coming soon. In the mean time I created this page.
I sprayed the ghost bird with glimmer mist so it could show up better. Love it.
And this planner.
Check this out. This squash came out of my garden. It is huge! I had to have my son lay next to it so you can see how big it actually is.
In other gardening news I have 3 pumpkins on my vine. I can't wait till Halloween. Only 52 more days till Halloween! Yay!
Cropin Friday. Should be loads of fun. If you are out this way come out and see me!
Ok time for a new post. Buckle down and do it Marie. LOL! Like how I talk to myself? Anyway I posted the new Mojo. This one I really struggle with. I mean my name not the challenge. Here is my take.
I used lots and lots of glimmer mist. I truly ♥ that stuff!
You see my REAL name is Opal Marie Pease. When I was in 5th grade my mom asked me if I wanted to change my first name to my middle name because we moved around a lot and well Opal isn't the greatest name in the world. Kids would tease me and so I happily said yes pls. She changed my name to Marie with the school and the rest is history. My mom and all my relatives still call me Opal but my hubby and all my friends call me Marie. When one or the other slips up and calls me the name they don't usually call me it sends chills down my spine. Weird huh? Now I am sure some of you will say you like Opal. Yeah it is nice to say but not a nice name to actually have until you are like 80 years old lol! That my friends is my story.
The crop over at My Scrapbook Dreams is fast approaching and I am super excited. I am hoping to get my friends to come out...Ginger Diane come on u can do it lol! My cousin will be there and maybe some new faces. This will be my first crop there so I am a little nervous but excited none the less.
Whew there is so much to say but I just don't know where to start. Oh I went and seen the midnight showing of Halloween 2.
As most of you know I am a huge horror movie fan and well it is that time of year...You know the best time of year for a horror movie fan like me. Anyway back to Halloween 2 one of my favorite horror movies ever was re-done by Rob Zombie whom I love. I must say tho I was not all that happy with his take on these movies. I wasn't sad I seen it because I will watch ANY horror movie but I think the Halloween movies are something you just shouldn't touch unless you really don't change a whole lot to it. Just my opinion.
Man do I need a freakin shopping spree. There is so much cool new stuff that I got to have. I mean come on! No hubby does not have a job yet but he is trying. UGH stupid economy. I am just staying positive that's all i can do right? I think I say that all the time lol!
Well I have a page sitting here waiting for me to stop what I am doing and finish it. My sister is coming over to hang out with the kids and family for a while too. More to come soon!
