finally...it's happened to me...

i did a thank you card for a wonderful family who has done so much for my hubby...used almost all American Crafts on this one and Lauren's sketch #54 from 2S4Y:

and for the simple deetz:

i have two "finally's" to announce.  the first i can show and tell, the second will have to wait a bit.

"finally"  #1:

i finished my everyday album...done!  here's a before and after of the whole album:
from thin to thick...

and here are 2 photos for each day from 5.17 thru 5.23 (you can see 5.12 thru 5.16 on this post by clicking here):

a total of 78 pages.  whew!  the things i would do differently next time:  just do an exact week, use page protectors and page protector dividers.  this was a long process but i'm glad i did it and i'm glad it's DONE. most of all i'm glad now that i have something to look back on and not take the little things for granted that happen almost everyday.

"finally" #2:  one of my other scrappy dreams has come true, but i can't say what it is until the announcement has been made on the Scrap Tiffany blog.  all i can say is:  I'M SO EXCITED!!!!  FINALLY IT'S HAPPENED TO ME!


today...

1. i will need to gather a few scrappy stuff to take along our road trip to cali
2. at least clean the toilet bowls (i like to do things little by little)
3. pick up Maiya at the bus stop
4. bake some balsamic rosemary chicken wings for dinner

 before i end this post, i just have to put in a few photos of a lil one getting a new haircut and some curliness:

isn't life grand???  yes...it is...
