Bee-utiful Day!

Happy Friday everyone!

It's a beautifual day here in Nor Cal, it's a tad bit chilly, but I love it, it smells like Christmas ... some people down the street from me already have their Christmas lights up.... I love this time of year.

Well I have been so busy with school but this semester is coming to an end and I can't wait. I love the classes that I took, but I'm ready for a break, this semester was brutal and noext semester will only get worse, I have to take 3 class and a field work class - yikes .. but the good thing is that I will have the first half of school completed ... yay me!

LOL i forgot that I had this little stamp on my collection, I was looking for my Ladybug stamp but found this little guy. I think it's so cute, it's actually 2 stamps, the hive and the little bee ... I made the little black dots with my copic marker... Hope you enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

Well it's been a while since I have posted to my blog, but i'm back, had a great day today, babysat my nephew Noah, he's 5 and had his halloween party today, he was a boxer... so cute. we rans some errands and then picked up some Mcdonalds and ate.

Noah stamped a few images for me, i'll use then in another card, Noah does a really good job coloring.

I'm hoping to go to the movies tonight, I haven't been feeling well, but since I got my necessary meds, i'm feeling so much better and i'm ready to go! Well it's short post today, hope ya'll like th cards.

I'm a BAD BLOGGER

Hello all, i'm not sure if there is anyone still following me, but I've been a bad blogger..... I have been so busy looking for a job and with school. I forgot how much time school takes ... I can't believe that I have been out of a job for almost 10 months, it makes me so sad with I think about it ... I'm a good person, why doesn't anyone what to hire me???

Anyways, I'm going to try and a better blogger. I haven't been in my craft room in a month .. shame on me! I hope to get back into the groove of things in the next few days!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Tuesday!

Hey all and Happy Tuesday, well today would have been my beloved Nana's 90th birthday, but sadly we lost her 4 years ago to Cancer, you can see her beautiful face at the top of my side bar!
On a better and happier note, I think of her all the time and love her as much if not more then the day she passed! So Happy Birthday Nana, I hope your dancing your chancla's off!

So here is another card that i'm going to send to my friend Pat for her Cards4Kids program, I need to hurry up and get these to her, I have some Halloween cards that I'll share in a few days! Thanks for stoping by, I'm going to try and post at least 2-3 times a week, life is getting in the way of my creating, so it's time I took my life back and run my life instead of letting my life run me ..... Hope you all have a Great Tuesday!

Elmo and Big Bird

Hi all, well here are a few more cards that i'm making to send to Pat's for the Cards4Kids program, I'm also getting ready to make some Halloween and Christmas cards... I should have them done in the next few weeks. I started school again so crafting has to come second. short post today, hope you enjoy the cards!

Hey all, well it's been 2 wks since my last post, hope you all had a good summer. I did, Stefani and I have been going to Water World every weekend, and have had a blast. I think they are only open til Labor day, so we have a few more weekends left. The State Fair is coming .... Whoo Hoo, we go every year, I love going. It's the same thing every year, but for some reason I still get excited.

Another venture Stefani and I have been on is the Sizzling Summer Paper Chase, it has been so much fun, we have been to at least 10 stores and have 10 more to go by Sunday. I think we only may do 2-3 more and then we're done. I love going to other scrapbook stores and seeing what they have. On our paper chase, I have found several more stores that I would drive too. One was in Elk Grove, it was great, it was both a scrapbook store and stamp store. These days, it's one or the other. I was in love ........

I bought this little Cookie Monster stamp at the Elk Grove store ... I had to have it so I can make some more cards for Pat's Cards 4 Kids program. I also bought a Big Bird stamp .. so cute ... Hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by!

*** A Stefani Story ***

We were at Olive Garden and Stefani asked me why some guy had a "Kazoo" in his throat, I had to explain to her is wasn't a Kazoo, but the guy had a tracheostomy. UGH, I never know whats going to come out of her mouth.

Just For You

This picture is right at the opening gate @ Great America, my nephew Marcus, his wife Cilicia is holding the purse, Stefani is in the pink outfit and then the kids, Noah and Milayla.

I'm Back!!! I finally got into my scrapbook room and made a card! Whoo Hoooo... it's been a long time. I have been so busy and lazy at the same time. LOL I think we all get that way. So yesterday we went to California's Great America park and had so much fun. I went with my Momma, my daughter Stefani, my nephew and his little family. It was the first time my baby niece and nephew had been there. It's so much fun watching it through their eyes.

My poor baby nephew Noah was so little to ride most of the ride, thank goodness for the baby section. Noah is 5 and wanted to ride everything, but that didn't happen. His sister Mikayla was able to ride some of the big rollercoasters and she LOVED it! she's growing up so fast.

I took Noah and we played some games, he beat me at both of the, I was so worried that he wasn't going to be able to get the water in the hole, that he won. So the next time we played, I lost just because I wasn't fast enough. He won 2 little bulldog stuffed animals. he was so happy!
Well I need to get back to studying, but here is the card I made this morning! Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

California - The Not So Golden State

Is California so broke they couldn't finish repaving the freeway???? LOL I took this pick on my way home today, it has been this way for a few weeks now .... Darn budget. LOL they only paved half the lane i'm driving in .... So sad

Happy Thursday

Hey all, it's been another busy week, I haven't really had time for creating and with as hot as it's been, haven't really wanted too. Stefani (my daughter) and I have been doing so much this summer, seeing I'm not working right now. I really need to find a job ... hehehe

Of course school has to come first, but i think I'm getting the hang of this on line thing, it's still hard, but it's getting easier. I'm holding my own in my classes and so far have an "A" in both classes so I'm pretty excited and realize that all my hard work is paying off!

This month has been so busy and it's just the middle of July. We had the 4th of July and that was fun, then we had my parents 47th Wedding Anniversary and Sunday we are going to Great America. Stefani and I have been going to Water World almost every weekend and have been swimming to our hearts content.

LOL we semi got busted in bringing in our own food to water word yesterday, we bought 4 McDonalds Cheeseburgers and tried to smuggle them in, well they found 2 when they went through my bag, I had then toss them as we still had some they didn't find, so we still got to eat our McDonalds. Man food is so expensive there, It cost me $40 for Stefani and I to eat there. So crazy! any hoots, no card to post today, but I promise that I will be a better crafter!

I'm so excited, my youngest nephew who moved to L.A. last year is doing well, he works for Best Buy. He was the one that was in the Drake and Josh Christmas, anyways, he called my Mom and told her that he's going to be in a new best Buy commerical in September. I'm so proud of him.

I'm going through a lazy period right now ... well thanks for stopping by and I'll see you on your blog!

Howdy

Hi blogger friends, it's been so long since I posted to my blog! hope every one had a great 4th of July!

I feel so bad, like I'm neglecting my little ole blog ... but I'm going to try and post every couple days. So all of you know that I have been doing the summer school thing, it's consuming my life. I finally got somewhat of a handle and made a schedule to help me stay on track and have one free day so I can have some fun too :)

Well the job hunt it's going so well, but at least I'm doing the school thing to keep my mind busy (and is it every busy). you would think with out a job that I would have lots of time to create, but for some reason I don't, it's so crazy!

Any hoots, enough about me, I made this card for a friends birthday, she is a dear friend and I have know her for over 23 years, I love and respect her so much! Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting my blog! have a good day and God bless!

Sorry the picture is blurry, all my pics are blurry, i guess i'm not a good picture taker! :)
