Happy Holidays
Hello fellow bloggers, I have to say this wasn't my year, so many things have happened and none of them good, but i'm still here and hope to get back to making cards and scrapbooking soon. I completed my first year in college and feel pretty good about that. I'm done with school for right now but start back up in Jan 2010, i should graduate in may 2010 with my Human Services certificate and then in 2011 with my AA degree.. it's been a long road, but so worth it ...
Hope you all have a fab Holiday and Happy New year and thanks for sticking around!

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!

August 20, 2009
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!

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!

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! :)

4th of July Card
Hi all, sorry I haven't been around. Still doing the school thing and trying my hardest to keep up. Who knew that on line classes would be so hard. I didn't, that's for sure!
It's so hot today, at 11:30am it was already 88 degrees, not sure how hot it is right now, but it has to be in the high 90's. I don't like the heat, it makes me feel like I'm melting. in fact after dinner tonight, Stefani and I are going to get an ice cream at Foster Freeze.... yummm i can taste it now ....
I was at one of my favorite stamp stores yesterday and bought some more glitter markers, i shouldn't have but I really wanted them. I have no self control .. hehehe
I was so excited that the Northern Cali Sizzlin Summer Paper Chase is coming up, not sure if any of you guys participated last year, but I loved it. Stefani and I went to 11 stores and did all our make and takes. I'm so excited for this year.
My lovely daughter Stefani make the card below, it was a make and take from the stamp store, she had a great time making it. I hope you all enjoy it!

Graduation Favors
Hi all, it's a beautiful day here in Northern California. I was up early this morning as i have so much homework to do. I haven't had much time to create anything or participate in any challenges, but one I get a handle on school and get myself into a routine, I'll be sure to scope out all the fun challenges. Thank you for sticking with me and visiting my little blog. I'm going to try and make time to create. Lords know i have so much to do and so many pictures ... hehehehe
So my friends son just graduated from high school and she wanted me to help her create a fun party favor. So below is what I came up with. it's kind of hard to see as I took the pic with my camera phone.
I was going to make the box with my cricut, but I didn't have time, so I bought the clear boxes at Wal Mart in the wedding section. I then used MS word to create the saying and printed it out on white cardstock. I then used a circle punch and wa la.... thus you have the boxed candy favors

Thank You Notes
Hey all, sorry I haven't been bloggin lately, I haven't had time, With Stefani's graduation and me looking for a job, going to EDD classes and summer school on line, it's been pretty hectic. I also got sick, actually, I thought I was having a heart attack, i finally went to the Dr's, had an EKG - and she told me it was stress. So thank God for that, but then my nephew got sick, the Dr's performed a spinal tap and didn't close it up correctly, they left a gaping hole in his spinal cord and it was leaking fluid into his body. Needless to say, he had to have surgery to close the hole. Thank Goodness he's ok.
Well enough about me and my problems, I have been working on some Thank you notes for all who attended Stefani's graduation. I had my own idea of what they should look like, but Stefani wanted them to be pink .... hehehehe ... Pink is her signature color! So with that said, here is what we came up with. Hope you enjoy and thanks for stoping by!

PAMC-Challenge #8: Inspirational Flourishes
Hello blogger, I can't believe how fast the days are going by. I have been researching jobs and putting out my applications, the hardest thing I have found is that most companys want you to apply on line and the don't want phone calls or walk ins, so it makes it hard to follow up. But I'm staying positive and know that God will bless me in his time......
So this weeks challenge for PAMC was Challenge #8: Inspirational Flourishes. This challenge is being hosted by Sara from Scrap Happi, she's so creative! Thanks Sara for a great challenge!!
Here is my take on the challenge:

Altered CD
Hi all, Happy Wednesday, it's cold and rainy here in Northern California, at least where i'm at. I'm happy that it rained, it helps me with my allergies. So this weeks Paper Art Mingles and Challenge came to us from Jennifer, she challenged the DT to come up with an altered CD, below is my take on it. Be sure to go and check out the PAMC blog and our page on PCP for more details. I think Jennifer will be updating the blog/PCP on Thursday April 9, 2009.
This is what I used to create my CD:
- I used some pics that I had of my daughter Stefani (they are her senior pictures, she graduated in 2005.)
- I used an old CD and covered it in paper.
- I shrunk the pics down and cut them out.
- I used some stars as some bling
- A graduation tag
- A plastic diploma and the word Graduate sign.
This was my first try at an altered CD, I like the way it came out. Hope you enjoy!

Inchies Challenge
Hi all, man it's so funny how the weather is, yesterday it was like 74 degrees and today it's cold and probably going to rain tonight, thank goodness i did all my yard work earlier this week. OMG, last night I ordered pizza for my daughter Stefani and I and it took forever to get to the house. I was so excited when it finally got here, I ran my toe into the coffee table, oh man that hurt!
Anyways, I signed up for Sara's inchie challenge and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I have never done inchies before, I had "W" and "U", so I used a Watermelon and Umberella stamp that I had. the picture is kind of fuzzy, but I hope you enjoy!

One of Those Days!
UGH, you ever have one of those days that you want to crawl right back into bed?? that was me today. Stefani was watching TV and out of my hair (yea!!). I was watching Life Time Movies and then decided to finish up my Inchies and ATC's for Sara's challenges. I go into my scrap room and start cutting mt ATC's and I cut the wrong color paper. Blah! so I grab the right color and start cutting the paper and they are all the wrong size. UGH, I gave up, i was frustrated with myself.
So I then I broke out my sewing machine and had issues trying to thread the bobbin, after 30 min, finally, i was ready to start to sew my card stock to get an idea of what it will look like, so what happens? the thread gets caught and snaps the needle .... GRRRRRR
I decided to move on to my inchies and I was testing out the color I wanted to use, I used the Copic air brushing thingy and I'm practicing and practicing and then when i finally get the right color, I ran out of air ... blah! I was like "What the February is going on" so I can't finish my inchies. the store that I get them from is in Berkeley and they are closed on Mondays so I have to go on Tuesday!
Maybe tomorrow will be a better day! Night all, i'm going back to bed and watch more Life Time Movies.

So Thoughtful
Morning Blogger Friends! Gosh, it's so pretty outside today, the sun is out and it's not all that cold. Yesterday I didn't do anything, I laid on the couch and watched the Harry Potter Marathon.... I did manage to get up and cook some dinner.
But today is another day, I was up and did some laundry, cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen.... I've been a busy bee, although I do feel like I can go and take a nap.... I won't though, I have to go and get my Steffers from school and take her to get her hair done today! Anyways, here's a little card that I made. I'm not sure if you can see, but there are some pink and off white flowers on the tree, I had to hand glue them on and it was tough. I had glue all over the place! LOL ... anyways, hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday
Wow, I was thinking that I have so many friends with Birthday's in March. I have to get with it to make sure that I get them all out in time .... here is one that I made today. You would think that with me being home I would have tons of time to craft, but NOOOOO. Most of my time is spent running my daughter around and looking for a job. I had no idea that looking for a job was a full time job that I'm not getting paid for .. hehehe
So far I managed to clean my house really good and got rid of a ton of things that needed to go bye-bye, tomorrow i'm going to clean the dreaded craft room. I bought some paper racks from one of the stores that went out of business so now I have a place to store my paper. I'm a cardstock FREAK! I'm always buying cardstock. I bought 2 12x12 racks that will hold a total of 36 colors of card stock, but that's not enough room, can you believe that?? i'll still have to store some paper in some 12x12 drawers.
Well it's getting late and I have been staying up way to late so i'm heading to bed! night all, hope you enjoy the card.

Root`n Toon`n Cowgirl
Hi all, thanks for visiting my blog even when I wasn't posting much, I'm back and better than ever. I managed to make this little card yesterday. I got the stamp from a scrapbook store in Berkley, it's a cool little store. I was out and about today with my parents. We got up at 6am, went to breakfast and it the stores. We went to OSH (for my dad) and then to Target, Wal mart and Costco for foods ... I love shopping when Daddy brings his checkbook .... we had a great time today. we ended up at my parents house and ordered pizza and watched a few movies... it was a great day.
On a sad note, the last scrapbook store in my hometown went out of business, today was there last day. I have to say that I bought a TON of cardstock, I bought over 250 sheets and some other items and it only cost me $ 116 and some change. it was a fab deal, but it makes me sad that the store closed and my friends had to close their doors. They were only open for 2 years. So sad... Thank goodness I still have my fav stamp store ... hope you enjoy the card ...
Hugs

Little Princess
Hey all, just thought I would pop in really fast, I have been in so much pain, I was in the ER yesterday day, come to find out, I have a kidney stone that I need to pass, I have never been in so much pain, well except when I was in labor with my daughter. Of course this comes after I was laid off from my job and I have no medical insurance .... but I guess this is life, nothing is easy.
Any who, enough about me, I found this little stamp at Michaels and had to have it. Hope you enjoy! I need to lay down and rest now .. Hope you all have a great day!
