woo hoo!!! i scrapped!!!

i've been totally lacking the desire to scrap. then monday it came back a little bit, but my stuff was a wreck. i cleaned it up yesterday and did two layouts today.

this one is for the new SYC that is now up (use up leftover sticker letters):

this one is for pink sketches #36 (i'm one week behind, but they've moved to one every 2 weeks, so i'm good):

i turned this sketch on its side. and these pics crack me up. my mom and two sisters and i were being just plain silly sorting through things to set up for a garage sale that my mom was having the next day. it was getting late and we were being weird. but not as weird as my oldest sister who said she paid like $90 for this ski sweater not too long ago. seriously? it looks like it's from 1982. :)

there's a new BASB challenge also up hosted by Ki. be sure to check it out and have a wonderful wednesday!

Sly devil...

Owen took my keys thinking he'd score a happy meal toy.

one day behind...

but it looks as though i'll have the attic finished by this evening.i really had no idea that all that stuff was up there. well i did know, but i honestly can't believe it. i managed to get down about 12 totes full of crap, and then baby items, like strollers, large toys, 4 garbage bags full of clothes, etc. tomorrow is master closet then set up.

i sweat so gosh darn much up in that attic, i seriously need some gatorade. and a shower.

i just hope i can remember to get up early on thursday...and can make it through the day without going to the gym. that will suck. i am addicted to it.

not much going on around here. mike's boss's wife passed away (she's battled cancer for the last 20 years or so). he had to go to the funeral this morning. then a client canceled a meeting and they didn't bother to tell him. he drove about an hour to get to the meeting from work. so now he's home. in a suit. looking mighty cute ;)

and since i don't feel like i blogged if i don't post a pic, owen fell asleep next to mike on the bed on saturday night. what a cutie:

well, crap...

the title of this new line pretty much says it all...darn you sassafras.

continuing on my cleaning spree. i wish it was a shopping spree. i am filling up bags with garbage and sale items just as easily as i could fill them up with gap jeans and the above paper products. i am keeping nothing. (the whole idea behind this: sell trash, get new stuff.)

out of it...

and into cleaning up and cleaning out...leftovers from mich's room. i'm too embarrassed to show the rest of the house.

owen is helping use up some leftover stickers. he had the white ones all over his belly. didn't have my camera and i guess he got tired of 'wearing' them.

this little skeleton really gets around. a few days ago it was on the roof. hmmm, i wonder who did that?

i think i'll be gone from blogging the rest of this week as well. i have serious messes going on. i'm one day behind on my list and just found a new item to add. well, i can actually check off the item: reorganizing the cords behind the computer and video game disaster that is the left corner of our office. (i won't mention the paper mess that's on the right corner of our office--that's my mess, so it's ok b/c i'm the one who will clean it.)

mike, don't go messing around with the modem now, or your amp, or the speakers. the cords are organized and marked. all neat and tidy. leave them alone.

oh, and i found our lost gecko. and he's not dead. he's moved on to some other corner of the house. scared the CRAP out of me!!!

camp is over...

here are a few pics from soccer camp yesterday. o has this new thing where whenever he hears a plane, he has to have my sunglasses. then he looks up at the sky and says, "star wars, ma. star wars!"mich got an award, a medal, and a few souvenirs. i think he had fun, but some of the other boys were just plain snotty. mich tried so hard to talk and joke with two of the boys, but they wouldn't even look at him. i could tell mich thought they were 'the cool kids', but i could also tell the boys were completely stuck on themselves. it made me feel bad b/c he tried so hard to play with them. snots. i hate kids like that.

i have to give mich credit though. he went to this camp and didn't know anybody and had a good time (i think). i could tell he felt a little left out but i didn't say anything to him about any of it for fear he'd get all defensive or overly emotional. i kept telling him that he was there to learn a few new tricks and to play hard b/c the next time he'd see any of these kids, it would be on the field a while from now...and where he'd need to kick their butts in a real game.

i completed the second quote for Alisa's ATCs.

this one was for a question about the craziest spill your kids or you have had. the first card is my fave.

i have one more to do and i hope to finish it off monday, along with a RAK that i have yet to mail out (sorry!!!) it's been some week! well, two weeks. or week and a half. not sure. too long and i'm sorry. i'm not real big on getting to the p.o., especially when i have owen which is just about all of the time when the p.o. is actually open.

so, that's all for today. have a super saturday!
