there's a 1st time 4 everythin!

we went rollerskating today and we had so much fun, even my hubby did too!

i've had these photos for almost 2 yrs now and finally scrapped them.  this was the 1st time my daughter and stepdaughter met...back in march 2008...yes they have their ups and downsies but mostly really happy ups.  here's my take:

 1st time small stuff:

Cheese!

well recently got some pix of my hubz niece and nephew in the mail and i just could not resist doin a scrap page on them entitled "Smile"  here it is (used mostly the AMM Oct '09 kit):

@ 38...here's to another great year and more to come!

here's my LO on the exact day i turned 38. my bday is the day after xmas and every yr i do an LO once i turn a yr more. i used the AMM dec '09 kit for this one.  i just love graphic 45 and not to mention the jenni bowlin papers in this kit. i love to use multiples of the same photos in some of LO's.  so there will be more of that style to come. enjoy!

Well i recently joined another scrapbook kit that I have been meaning to join and finally did it....Little Red Scrapbook! They have such dope @55 stuff! Here's something I did with their Nov. kit...it's me and my hunny on our honeymoon in Hawaii. That was so much fun!


Here a few of the luau details:




Thanks for looking!

Car Frustrations...

Yes...I'm having car frustrations today. brought my car into the shop and I knew this was coming...gotta get the gasket, timing belts, spark plugs replaced. It's gonna cost me a bundle. But it is what it is and I will have to pay up!

Let me say this....if I could... I would have a driver drive me around wherever and whenever I wanted at no cost. Dreaming....but if i ruled the world this would be one thing that i would command and demand for all women who are not so much into cars, just like myself.

Moving on...now that I got that off my chest. I feel much better now, maybe not so much financially, but at least I'll be driving with no more wondering what the heck was that burning smell and leaking underneath my car.

Love the Daisies...

I just love daisies...I wanted to use them for my wedding two months ago but they just didn't have the nice gerbera ones I liked...but red and white carnations were a beautiful substitute. But I did manage to buy some daisies from Walmart for $5!!!!! here they are...



Well we are off to an Xmas partay in Seattle..ta-ta!

My Maiya

It's Friday! Yeah! I am feeling a bit sick-o since yesterday afternoon, nauseated really. Am I preggo? Not sure. I can't be tho'. I'll wait a few days and see if this feeling persists.

Anyway, here's another layout I did using the AMM Sept 09 kit. This is of my daughter, Maiya. I used 2 different sizes of her school pic for this SY. She is 8 yrs here.


Here's a few close-ups of the intimate details:





Have a beautiful Friday!

we really do wish...

I made this layout of my stepdaughter, Ashley. She's grown so fast. The last time I saw her was in October during the weekend of our wedding. She's coming home in about 2 weeks! yeah. Here's what I made, I used her school pictures SY 2009-2010:




I used the AMM October '09 kit for this layout. Journaling: we wish you were with us everyday...maybe someday you will be.
