Wow, has it realy been over 3 months since I posted here?

I can't believe it. Time is just leaving me. I never seem to have enough time in the day to finish something I started. I know I spend way too much time on facebook, but I don't think that is the problem. I think I just can't focus. I get too distracted too easily.
It's like going into the grocery store and I know what I want to get. By the time I get to the check-out line, I'm trying to remember everything I need, but then I see the Rag Magazines... and forget about it! I'm looking at every cover getting more and more discussed. They pick on celebrities and wanna be celebs, like Jon & Kate plus 8. Why are they even in the news? I don't understand the appeal that they have. Ya, they have 8 kids. so what? The Osmond family has 7 children and they could sing and dance. Now, there is something I watched every week. I just don't get it. Now, people seem to be so concerned that the show might not go on. I heard this on the radio today. What will happen to poor Kat and the kids. OMG, i read a report that they earned over 2 million buck making that show, if they don't have anything to show for it, I certainly don't feel sorry for them. You know who needs or pity, The 8 kids who are in the middle of something that is hard to deal with in private, Let alone in front of America. I feel for them.

Fun Fun Fun at Appleton! Here are a few pics from this month's Rodeo.

Is it April yet? Where did March go? It feels like I posted here yesterday, but wow, it's been a while. I'm back on track. I have completed a few Layouts. Are you holding on to something? Watch out. Make sure you are sitting down and not drinking hot tea. I Scrapped with ... ( looks around to see if anyone can hear me) ... Paper. OMG I know, I'm shocked too. I have missed it so much. Most of you know that I'm the Queen of paper, and yet, it seems that I only scrap layouts digitally. I think it's weird too. I am bag to my old self again. I did a few paper LO and a few digital ones.


I'll start with the digital one because, let's face it, it's easier to post....

Shelby and Romeo walking in the woods on a nice spring day. OK, they are not in the woods, but I really do like the look of this LO. Larisa of Garden Girl Designs has a cool kit out, Happily Ever After Mega Kit. It's on sale right now at Scrapable.
I think there are a lot of cute LO that will be coming from this kit.

Garden Girl Designs

I think it's time to show you more of my friends Layouts. I'm having a lot of fun working with the creative team that Larisa ( and Shannon) has put together. I'm going to start with the Woman herself, Larisa.

She does a wonderful job creating these kits and she's pretty good at Scrapping.
I love this new kit she has released. It's so Magical!!!! It's called "Happily Ever After". You can find it here. It's on sale for a little while. It's a huge kit with lots of papers and elements. Hop on over to her blog and see what she's all about.

Chosen for Layout of the Day

WOW,

It's wonderful to have someone comment on a Layout that you post, but it's Super to have a website choose your Layout to spot light. It's not the first time this has happened, but it just shocks me every time. Listen to me, every time, like it happens every week. Well, I can say it has happened on March 5, 2009 and Feb 24, 2009. Hey that's once a week! Yay me! I can't remember the first time it happened, funny, you think that I would remember something exciting like that.

OK, so here is my latest Layout that I'm so excited about. It's the new kit from Larisa of Garden Girl Designs. It's called in daddy's Shoes. you can get it HERE . I knew when I saw the word art, my daddy my hero, I had just the right Picture. Whenever i look at this picture, I remember all the emotions that I was going through as a confused teenager. My Pops would try to tell me things and I did try to listen, but I think something happens to our ears while we are in that stage of life. At least i can remember a lot of the advice he gave. I still hit myself on the forehead every now and then.... Douh!!!!

Thanks Pops! I love you!

Valentine Dance Feb 12, 2009

Here is Shelby before the dance. She and Stephanie went to Jodi's to get their hair and make-up done. They are really growing up before our eyes. Shelby asked if I would go to the school and take pics at the dance. You all know what I did; I just asked if they would like pictures donated to the school, And I was ready to go. I had so much fun watching the kids dance and laugh. I just hope that everyone likes the pictures as much as I do!
