My favorite stash is keep right above my desk in glass bottles calling my name to come sit down and scrapbook.

DAY 9

Here are the invites for Jaylon's B-day he will be 7 boy how time flys I am not ready what will I do when all my kids are grown

Day 8

Well I decided to be more creative with dinner so I have been searching magazines for recipes tonight we are trying bread pudding.

Day 7

Silver dinner my favorite diner I love the old the 50's decor and they have turkey burgers and chicken sausage but the best thing is they have real size mugs...lol

Day 6

My new found joy is card making, my life is so busy and I really don't get a chance to call old and new friends but I think about my friends all the time so now I create cards for friends and its so relaxing and fulfilling.

Day 5

I went to a birthday party for a friend at Club Mirrors, and of course I found some inspirational artwork. I have always had a thing for abstract art and now that I think about it art was always one of my favorite subjects and not because it was a easy A, like other children, I really enjoyed it and now my passion for art is shown through my scrapbook pages.

DAY 4

I know I am late it is day number 12 and I am posting picture number 4 but believe me I try to be on time I drink at least 2 big cups of coffee a day to keep me alive!!!But it never seems to work I am always late one way or another. Which brings me to today's pick coffee my morning ritual and I think coffee needs to get more respect...LOL

Day 3- 30 day photo challenge

I came home and found this master piece on my fridge I am so proud my son Jaylon use he his cuttlekids to create this all by himself.

Day 2

Some days I feel like the only thing I do right is eat and lately that is hit or miss low carbs but lots of fat, EAT RIGHT, yeah RIGHT.

Day 1

Many just think of this as a bathroom, but to me this is a restroom it is probably the only rest I get during the day.

30 Day Photo Challenge

I found a great challenge on Memory Makers Magazine website it is a 30 Day Photo Challenge so I decided to give it a try. For the month of February I will be taking pictures of things in my everyday life that I normally just take for granted.

Just Fine

I was thinking about my New Year resolution and I came up with a few things I can work on and I have a few bumps that need to be worked on but I have come so far maybe I don't really need to change a thing. Just love my life good and bad!!! Happy New Year!!!

FREE CROP AND CHALLENGE CLUB

I started a Challenge Club I am so excited we will meet once a month to learn a new technique and then go home with a Challenge. I really enjoy hosting crops and classes I really wish I could do it for a living, but then again it probably wouldn't be so much fun if I had to do it :-) . Here are some pics from the Laurel Scrapbook Club Free Crop and the Memorias Preciosa Challenge Club.


The Free Crop is always so much fun it is like a mini vacation for me no kids and girlfriend time I always look forward to it.




The Memorias Preciosa Challenge this month is working with transparency.

I love the location we meet at it is nice and relaxing.

If you will like to attend a class or free crop please feel free to contact me at memoriaspreciosa@yahoo.com.

Thankful

I must admit I wasn't feeling in the Holiday Spirit this Thanksgiving. Although I have so much to be thankful for, this year has had many ups and downs but in the end we came out on top. So after the cooking was over I began to feel better and realize it isn't that bad I am truly blessed. I downloaded Alicia Keys new Cd from i tunes, I love it!! Then I saw her new video it made me sad but it also made me think about all the things I take for granted this song means a lot to me we should all take time to be grateful and love our family everyday.

The Baby

I am such a bad mom I always share stories about my children and I left out the youngest child in the house "Shadow". He was born in June 2006 and came home to us in August 2006. Shadow is such a wonderful addition to the family, he dosen't know he is a dog and sometimes I forget. He loves playing with his brothers and sisters, he loves going to the doggie spa, and he is so sweet. Just like my children I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my Shadow. :-) Here are some pics of Shadow at the the Pet Spa with his friends I swear he just thinks he is ALL THAT when he goes to the dogie spa..lol
