Funny the way it is when you think about it

}Made with the Kenner Road Feb Kit{
Hey bloggy friends! Sitting here watching Lost trying to multi-task. I wanted to continue my valentines lovelyness...Hubs and I came back after eating and had a little fun. I fell asleep around 10 ish because I suck! LOL! I woke up around 630 am we took showers and went down to eat breakfast. We havent ate breakfast with each other out in a very long long time. We just arent really breakfast people. I ordered the french toast and he had a breakfast burrito that looked fab. It was soo nice. We then went back up to the room had our last hoorah and got ready to go see Valentines Day. We had bought our tickets the day before so no waiting in line and we got great seats. The movie was good and when we came out there was a line waiting to get in. We totally picked a perfect time to go. After hubby and I got back from the hotel and watching Valentines Day we decided to take the kids to the park. I got some great shots of my lovely babies.










I have to say this was one of THE best Valentines Days ever! I printed out the above pics and will be making some crafty goodness soon.

Speaking of crafty goodness I need to share the book I made for my hubby.














I really loved making it. Totally free in this book. Used whatever I wanted. It all came from my heart. He really loved it and just told me to bury it with him when he dies lol! I told him if it will last that long and I dont die first he has a deal ;). Oh and it made the catwalk! Woot! Thanks Jen!

I got some happy mail and have already tore into it. Jenni Bowlin kit. Yumo! I should also be getting some scrappy goods from BlueMoon scrapbooking on sat. The new maya road stuff. Man it is lovely and some new Sass and Cosmo eeeekkk! I will have so much fun playing. I shouldnt have spent so much money and am gonna have to watch what I spend from here on out. Bad bad girl!

I am getting my stuff organized and ready for tmw nights crop in Oakdale with ma girls. Gonna play with my new stuff and my new pics too! Woot! What you doing this weekend?

♥♥♥

Just grab your sharpie and write your message on the wall

{little felt hearts made by me :}


Omg my Valentines weekend was beautiful! It was a fairytale.This is what I was wearing. Lil black dress and a bow in my hair.



First we went and saw Wolfman. Excellent! We both loved it. We were smart and bought our tickets for the next day showing of Valentines day. We took a few photos at the photo booth there. One of my fav parts of going to the movies. I did say 1 lol!




Then we headed to our hotel room. Beautiful hotel! I was pleasantly surprised. It was only 50.00 a night! I brought my camera and took a few pics. Wish I woulda took pics of the lobby because it was really wicked gorgeous.





We had a wonderful time in the room of course *wink* hehehe! Who wouldn't with this handsome man.



We then went out to eat at Outback. Yummy. I had a coca berry blast and a steak. My husband made the dinner extra special. I cant tell you how wonderful he is. We returned to our hotel room...Exchanged gifts. I gave my hubby his secret book I have been working on for a month or so now. He liked it a lot. I think I will post those pics later on tho.

Hubby surprised me with the necklace I really wanted. Ruby devil heart :)



I really love it. I am soo not a girly girl when it comes to jewelry. This is soo me.

He also got me the sock monkey I had my eye on. Freakin adorable!



Whew this post is getting long. I think I will have to make it 2 posts instead of one! TO BE CONTINUED!

I will leave you with a little tease...I have some TOTALLY wicked awesome news to share with you all soon. I am serious this news is da bomb. Wont be till March! ACK! Can you stand it? LOL! I know you can but I don't think I can!

Tell me about your Vday!

♥♥♥

You may ask yourself...How do I work this?

Time just seems to be going soo fast. Why? I mean why is it when we get old it goes faster and faster. Remember when we were kids how slow time seemed to go? I mean at work I don't mind the time slippin by but at home slow it down just a little will ya? Sheesh.

Valentines day is almost here. Hubby is looking for a hotel room. We have 4 kids so we have to get a room to be alone lol! I love spending TIME with him. We will probably go see a movie and eat out somewhere nice. It really doesn't matter what we do I always enjoy myself. I truly love him to bits and couldn't imagine my life without him. I have been taking a lot of pics of him and I together lately so I had a lot to scrap. Sorry if you are tired of seeing us lol!

This page I made for the current dare...


Oooo and I totally need to share some cool ass SB news. Christina Padilla asked me to come join her for some debauchery here...How cool is that? If you love twilight come and play...If you don't come and play anyway! Here is the current challenge and what I did with it.



More valentines Day craftyness.


I am soooo in love with those paper flowers. I found the tutorial on Elle's blog. Beautiful and easy. I really like how the felt ones come out too. Gonna make some hair clips or something out of them.



Happy accident on that heart. I had ruffled the crepe paper and thought the white was to much so I was gonna glimmer mist it yellow. When I did it only glimmer misted it in stripes! I love how that turned out!

Last but not least some hair bows I have been making. I am in love with them and they are super super easy. I was gonna post the link for the tutorial but I cant find the dang thing. I guess I'll have to make my own.


Have been getting a little bit o sun these past few days. Just here and there. The sun, when it does come out, makes me feel happy and warm inside. Winter really starts to bring me down. I stepped outside my door and looked down in the flower pot to find this lovely peeking its head out. Spring is on its way! Best part is I got those bulbs at the dollar tree! So excited they came up.


I really really wish I could take real TTV pics but I will have to settle for digi frames.


The original.

Well I have so much more to share but man this post would be days long. So next time my bloggie friends. Now off to run errands and get ready for VDAY!

♥♥♥

Promise I'll be kind. I wont stop until that boy is mine.

Yep another blog post. I know I am just as shocked as you are. It seems I have a lot of lovely creations to share lately. I went to a crop night with cousin, Christina, and Shelly. I really had a lovely time. Did I make anything? No not really. A few paper flowers but that's about it. Really I just love to talk and listen to the stories we share. I did manage to make a mess tho.

When I get home the creations just seem to flow out of me as I sit at my desk. I guess it is because of all the junk I have at my finger tips. When I am at a crop it seems that I never have what I want.

Here are a few of the things I have made.

I call this my pocket full of sunshine.








I bought this frame at the dollar tree and painted it. Got some yummy happy mail from Elle's studio and jumped fingers first in. Stamped the little cupcake on some handmade paper, cut it out and smacked it on one of those delish tags. Add a few bits and bobs and viola! Something cute for my fireplace mantel.


This page I made for a challenge Beth posted over at BlueMoon scrapbooking. I loved her take on it and I am sooo going to try her technique. I actually bought the paper from them and decided I should use it.

I have a few more but I think I will save those for the next post. Its nice to have something to share waiting.

Date night is up next and lots of crafts I need to work on. I also need to clean my desk of course! I swear I need a better system over here. I wish I had a whole room to myself lol! Yeah that will be the day. A girl can dream.

There is sooo many lovely things I really want but don't need. Keyword WANT lol! I get inspired by new things. It makes my heart race when I get happy mail. It is just like Christmas for me even tho I know what I am getting lol! My drug of choice.

Oh wait one more thing. New Mojo is up come and play along with us!



Ok enough for now. Time to clean, organize and maybe do some shopping? LOL!

♥♥♥

When you find you, come back to me.

Thanks for the words of encouragement on my last post. Things are never as bad as they seem and I was just wishing I could share details of my life here but knowing I couldn't. I appreciate all you who actually take the time to read my words and leave me wonderful words in return. It really makes my day.



This Sat we had a little shindig for my husband. He turned 40 as you may or may not have read in the last post. It was him and his 2 best friends he has known since he was a child. We all hung out and they had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed their antics. They made me laugh. Got some great pics I posted a few on my facebook if you wanna check them and all the shenanigans.


Hubby and I went to go see Legion Sunday night. It was excellent. I really love going to the movies with my husband. Truly is the highlight of my weekend. There are many many movies that I must see.

I have been a scrappin queen as of late. Made a few Valentines decorations for my house. I never decorate for Vday but have wanted to for a long time. Here is what I've got done so far.



I bought this little wooden heart thing at the dollar tree. I didnt know what I was gonna do with it and almost passed it by but thought no there has to be something I can make out of it. I didnt want to do the same old paint job so I decided instead to glimmer mist it. Easy and the look is pretty. I glittered the wings and made the flower out of cupcake liners. I need a million cupcake liners now. :)




This frame I also found at the dollar tree. It was a shadow box-ish type frame. I knew I wanted to do something with it for the badgirls blog and it had to be romantic. This is what I ended up with. I really like how it turned out and it looks very sweet on my fireplace.



Lastly is my banner. This is going to go above my fireplace on the mirror since it is smaller then what I usually make. I made it very shabby chic. For some reason when I think valentines stuff I think shabby/vintage. I like it and am now just wondering what else I can create lol! You can see close ups and details on my facebook.



I am currently working on a small Valentines day tin (like my others), the next Mojo prompt, and something fun and exciting! I will be able to share the news on friday. Until then here is a peek of whats coming.

Have to mention I am super jealous of all the girls at CHA. Wish I coulda made it out there. *sigh* Someday I guess. Someday. There is soo many cool new things coming out that I really really want. Guess I better keep my job eh? lol!

TTFN my bloggity friends!

♥♥♥

Why, oh why can't I.

As I sit and think on what I want to type, my only wish is to be real. To let you come into my world. To share every detail of my life with you. As much as I would like to be candid like that...I cant. I wish I could say I don't care what other people think. I cant. I wish I could say I don't mind being judged. I cant. I CAN however share a few things in my life. A few things that make me sad. That make me who I am. My children and my husband are my world. My saving grace. My everything. We have been through it all together. Today was a rough day. Work, crisis, worry, frustration, more frustration. I got through it. I survived. It wasn't as bad as it could be or has been or will ever be. It was mild to say the least, but it was. I hope that when life hands YOU days like mine that you get through them and that you have someone who loves and adores you to hold your hand through it all.

My husbands birthday is today! Woot! He is 40. Happy birthday my best friend, soul mate, my knight. Without him I would be lost.

We went and saw 2 movies. Youth In Revolt and Lovely Bones both were 3 out of 5 stars. Not great but not bad.


Ok enough with the deep, mushy, serious stuff. On to the fun crafty goodness. I cleaned my desk, organized it a bit, then scrapped my little heart out. Well as much I could find time for. I joined in with Kristi and MJ over at Everything Scrapp'n for their all weekend crop. Really inspired me. Here is what I accomplished over the weekend.


My husband and myself on one of our many date nights at the movie theater. We stop at the photo booth every once in a while and snap a few. Love doing that.




One of my most fav little spots in my most fav city. Musee Mecanique in S.F.


Door hanger.


This is my gradmothers granfather. Not sure his name or if it is really him. The reason I say that is because grandma wasn't sure either lol!



I have been in a crafty mood and just haven't had the time to do anything about it. I hope to craft some more before this all goes away. I got happy mail and I should get more. Can't wait. I really really need to get some pics printed out.

Speaking of pics here are my photos from self portrait tues.





I also have some fun eating bug pics to share and some wicked cool scrappy news to announce but I think I will save those till next time. Till then! Thanks for stopping by!
