Ahhh Saturday!

And I am spending it sick! Of course, the first weekend I have free in months and I feel like crap. I hadn’t really planned on doing anything anyway, but not feeling like doing anything is different somehow. Basketball ended last Monday, and C’s team won 1st place in the tournament! Now we have about a month off until baseball starts up and we are on the road again!

Swinging by today because of the awesomeness that is going on this weekend. First of all, it’s BYOC at The Lilypad! Omgosh, I am so in love with everything!! Here are some pages I did, and I will have more to come soon!

I am almost up to date on PL and hope to get that section done tomorrow, along with getting my planner ready for next week!! Tons of scrapping for tomorrow, if I feel like sitting in my chair! Hope you have a great rest of  your weekend!! Peace, out…

Another week, another month, gone by…

Yes, there’s still one more day in February this year, but basically it’s the end, right? I’m done with it and ready for the month that brings Spring and Daylight Savings Time! Bring on March!! We had fabulous 65 degree weather today and it’s supposed to be nice for the next couple of days before turning cold again. But at least I know the cold days are numbered now.

Thought I would swing by and share a few pages for this week and tell you about something fun coming up for this Leap Day!

First up, the pages:

And The Lilypad is planning lots of fun and games for Leap Day. There will be an awesome sale going on, with select products at $2.29, games in the forum, and a fun chat tomorrow night. Here are a couple of things you will find on sale tomorrow:

Papa-Joe

Sugar Sands Beach Kit by Etc. by Danyale

I’m afraid I am going to miss most of it. My son’s basketball team plays for the championship tomorrow night. It’s a double elimination tournament and we haven’t lost yet. So, what that means is that we play at 7…if we win, we are champions and it’s over, if we lose, we play again at 9pm! Really hoping we win that first game or it will be a long night! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday evening!! Peace, out…

Love is in the air…

Hearts and flowers and love everywhere!! Now, I am not so much a lovey, dovey type, but with all the fantastic new stuff out there, it’s hard to not get caught up in it a little bit.

It’s BYOC at The Lilypad and it’s amazing as usual!! All of these pages were done with piece from it, and there is so much more fantastic stuff to be had…

I’m getting ready to work on my planner a bit before chores and then hopefully be back with updates to it and my Life in Pockets this weekend. Hope you have a fantastic Saturday!! Peace, out…

Short and Sweet

We did finally go back to work/school on Thursday. They eased us in with a couple of two hour delays! It was a nice little break, but I don’t much like not being able to go anywhere and spending most of my time off shoveling.

I’ve done quite a bit of scrapping during MOC at The Lilypad. The last challenge is tomorrow and if I get it done in the morning I will come back and share all the pages I did for that. I’m excited that I was able to finish again for the third year. It’s so much fun and some of my favorite pages come out of it.

Outside of that, there are some fantastic new releases in the stores this weekend. Here is what I have from my fabulous designers. Make sure to check them out when you get a chance.

Yikes!

Been a while since I came by here and honestly, I’m not sure where the time went ha. I fully intended to blog last weekend, then I thought I would while on Thanksgiving break, but yeah, it just didn’t happen. I did update my Scrap Pages with last week’s layouts and I thought I would take a minute to swing by and share all that’s new this week. No nonsense out of me this week. Not really feeling the best today, so short and sweet. Here’s all the fabulousness in the shops that I had the privilege of working with:

Crazy busy

I thought we were going to get off easy this year with Halloween being on Saturday. Not so much. Instead, it turned in to a two day ordeal and 3x the make-up. C had to be ready for his Halloween party at school on Friday, and I played with some make-up on myself. Then, right after school, we re-did the make-up and went to work with A at the Rescue Squad’s haunted house. It was a lot of fun, but made for a really long day. We didn’t get home until about midnight. We did make-up again on Saturday for trick-or-treat. I have had my fill of candy :p

Today, we went to mom’s to celebrate my birthday a couple of days early. My sister, her husband, and one of her daughters and her husband came. But the best part was having all 3 of my kids, my daughter-in-law, and my granddaughter all together. We are so seldom any more it seems. Having grown children is different for sure. We are supposed to go out to dinner on Tuesday for my actual birthday. And Thursday is parent/teacher conferences, which means staying at work until 7. Going to be a long week!

Now to update some scrap pages from this weekend… there’s still time to catch them on sale if you hurry!

Life gets in the way…

No excuse, just haven’t been by for a bit. I haven’t really been doing anything productive, just putting things off lol. I didn’t really do that many pages last week, so I spent some time organizing some files and setting up some tracking pages so that maybe I don’t have so many sticky notes cluttering up my desk! But I do have lots of great stuff to share this week, so here I am!

This is what’s new, in stores, and on sale this week!

Ahhh Labor Day

Starting school earlier this year was not on my list of favorite things ever, but I have to say it is nice to have a little break after only a couple of weeks. Usually we have to wait until Thanksgiving for a day off. I’m trying to enjoy every minute of it and not rush through all I have to do like normal weekends. I meant to come by earlier today to share this week’s pages, but I worked on catching up on my Life in Pockets a bit this morning and then mowed grass this afternoon. Mom came by for a bit and then it was time to cook dinner.

Lots of beautiful new stuff this weekend and there’s still time to get it on sale! I have a few layouts using BYOC products at TLP…mixing and matching by Etc. by Danyale, Amy Wolff, and Valorie Wibbens. You can still catch these on sale if you hurry 🙂
