Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday filled with too much good food and candy. Here is the fam out on my parent's porch.

Not the best picture of me ever. I think I may need to go back to blonde. Any comments on that?

Also had some time to do some scrapping this weekend. You know I loved that.

I might have made a good pioneer...

I have this problem. It's genetic. I can't just BUY something I need. I have this strange compulsion to MAKE things that I could very easily (and in many cases cheaply) purchase.

Take for example, notebooks. They are readily available at pretty much every kind of store - WalMart, Target, Drug Stores, Big Lots, maybe even like Lowes.

However, a store bought notebook would not be good enough. I had to make my own with a pack of loose leaf, three binder rings and two pieces of chipboard. I embellished it with some tiny little banners (cut from Lily Bee papers). Voila.

Now, it's so pretty that I don't want to write in it.

jewelry, layouts and a fun 80's Band

This little guy is sold already : )

I've been on a jewelry making tear preparing for the Mt. Laurel festival. I've also been working on some layouts (fun).

And also finding time to hang out with Friends. PK and I went to the Comedy Club last night with the Fields and the Harpers to hear John Caparulo who was HILARIOUS. Seriously the funniest comedian I've ever heard live. I didn't stop laughing.

Here are Karly, Michelle and I posing with John in the parking lot.

Afterwards, we got all crazy and went to see an 80's cover Band called The Raygun Administration. They were so much fun. They had crazy 80's Flock of Seagulls hair and skinny ties. The people watching was also excellent.

all kinds of crafties

Still loving my Silhouette. Been playing around with the new fabric cutting interfacing making all kinds of appliques. I made this monkey shirt for Teenie to wear to her Birthday Party today : )

The sock monkey was a free download shape from Silhouette. I hand stitched it with embroidery floss

Now, on to some J heavy pages:

Have a wonderful day peeps.

No Words - Just Layouts

Scrap-a-palooza with the Silhouette

Still having fun with my Silhouette when I can get a chance amid the holiday goings on. And work. And kid stuff. You know how that goes.

I used the Silhouette to make the titles for both of these layouts. I also used it to make the film strip edges on the "gift" layout.

Speaking of gifts...Noel Mignon is running an AMAZING contest. Upload a layout with the theme "gift" and link it on their blog and you are entered to win TWO (yes two - one for you and one for a friend) of the December Bedford Falls kit. That is a nice giveaway. Wish me luck!

A new Gelish Manicure, layout and necklace

Last Saturday (so, 9 days ago) I got this new Gelish manicure.

I forget the name of the color. Nine days later, no chips, still shiny and looks great. Yay Gelish!!! I have gotten several of my friends hooked on it too.

Did some scrapping over the holidays. Here is one of the ones I made. I'll WOW you with the other ones later on this week.

I also made a few new necklaces this weekend. Here is one of my faves. Huge, Dark Magenta lucite beads. It reminds me alot of a necklace I loved at Anthro last fall (but never purchased bc it was $40). I've made other necklaces lately and I will post them later this week too.

Hope you all had a fun Thanksgiving and have lots to be thankful for!!!!

So Thankful...

For this guy

For these kids.

For family, for friends, for a roof over my head, for health.

Most of all for the Lord and His Son our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Best to everyone on this Thanksgiving Day.

Gelish nails - Day 4 plus RayLa and some layouts!

Today is the 4th day of wear on the Gelish manicure I got Saturday. I have nothing but positive results. Peeps are amazed that it still looks completely fresh 4 days after the fact. I haven't babied the manicure either. I do all the same stuff I've always done - wash dishes, clothes, kids, work, etc. Not a chip. No fading. Sometimes I think they start to feel a little sticky when I wash my hair, but once I get out they are still glossy and unflawed. I'll keep you posted.

Went to see Ray LaMontagne at BJCC last night. He is an amazing performer. He sang songs I don't like on the CD and I could have listened to them for hours. The opening act, Secret Sisters (two actual sisters from Muscle Shoals, AL) were phenomenal. I am going to download some of their stuff from iTunes. Levon Helms, who apparently is some kind of godfather of Rock & Roll, was also there. I think he was a last minute addition and he was all of a sudden the headliner. I can't complain - the concert was FOUR HOURS LONG.

I would have liked about 3 and a half of Ray and 30 mins of the Secret Sisters. I do respect all that Mr. Helms has done for music. I also respect he's been married to the same woman for a really long time and that he is a cancer survivor. However, I really was not wanting to see him in concert.

Also, we sat directly behind the Alabama version of Heidi and Spencer Pratt. They kept kissing and giggling during Ray. And Spencer had a bad, stale laundry odor. ick.

Did some layouts this weekend. They feature my favorite semi pro ball player! I finally got into the "banner" trend on the Throwing layout. I like the result, if I do say so myself.

Have a wonderful day!

Gelish!

So, after the recommendation of my neighbor, Tara, I went and got a Gelish Manicure at L'Amour Salon today. I picked the color "Sweet Chocolate", as it was closest to the Metro Chic (Opi by Sephora) I had been using. This is a gel polish that is supposed to stay on your nails and not chip for two to three weeks.

Since my nails won't grow past the tip of my finger without splitting or peeling, I am hoping this will allow me to grow some nice, natural nails. I did the gel fill nails for a while and they left my nails in a very sad state. Plus the fact they would crack and I have an unnaturally serious fear of nail funguses (I think it's the Lamisil commercials with the cartoon fungus), I just couldn't do it anymore.

Since I have a renewed commitment to blogging, I will keep you all posted on the status of the Gelish Manicure.

Because there has to be pictures, here are some pics of some layouts I did this week. These are both a combo of the "Sweet Sue" and "Dear Diary" kits from Noel Mignon. All pictures courtesy of the ever brilliant, Virginia.

Bc Its been a long time...

All layouts from Noel Mignon Sunkissed Kit and/or Sweet Sue Kit.

Life just gets in the way of blogging sometimes!

J started school. Still working. Been traveling. Looking forward to the beach this weekend!

Celebrated #34 and #11 on Saturday. Got some GREAT deals at Anthro (plus 15% for having an Anthro card). So so so ready for Fall and for Alabama Football.

New Layouts : )

Did a few layouts last night with the Noel Mignon Sun-kissed kit. This could be my favorite kit of all time. The colors are divine. It goes perfectly with my beach pictures.

I also did a couple of layouts with my Crate Paper stash. Unfortunately, Brian does no like his picture in one of these, so I can only post the details. I used my new Daisy Chain punch and punched rows and rows of flowers and laid them vertically on the layout.

In the middle of a busy week and super duper busy weekend.

Have a good one!!!
