a lil girly and her pup

hello the end of thursday!  it was a slow week for some reason....but  i have managed to keep up with my blog, facebook and my scrappiness....  i have to say this one is one of my faves for this yr...it's an lo of my daughter and her pup, mac (real name macaroni n cheese).  i just love sassafras, lily bee & cosmo cricket papers, they're so much fun to work with!  my fave part about this lo is hand-cut circles i made.

 

here's some mac mac lil stuff:

have a great thursday nite and see ya sometime this weekend!  i love the end of a work week!

back in da day...

found this pic as I was going thru stuff & reminisced w/my mom and sis who are in this photo. i was only about 3 yrs old, my sis was 9 mos and my mom was 26.  i used Pencil Lines sketch #140 for this lo....

 

the 1974 lil details:

tfl!

then & now....old & new skewl...

was going thru some old photos and found one of me, my sis and mom back in the day when we 1st got stationed in the philippines...and of course i just had to scrap it along with a modern pic of us.  the journaling on this lo notes:  "i can't believe how much time has gone by and how many changes we have gone through. time has definitely been on our side."

used the LRS Jan. 2010 kit, love American Crafts!

here's some then & now sumthinz:

mom, jo...i love you 2 so much!

first off...a new look for my blog...you likez?  just thought i try a cleaner look this time and hook it up with a few thangz i like. considering putting a slideshow of my artwork. just gotta figure out how to do that.

plus....last night...my hubz bought me a car!!!!!  my other car w/c i owned for almost 10 yrs was startin 2 b/come high maintenance, if ya know what i mean?  traded that in & got us a 2010 Toyota Corolla S (the sporty one). yey-yah! don't have pix right now, but as soon as light comez, i'll take some.  now my hubz feels betta that i and our lil girliez will be in a safe, reliable, (new smellin car)!  it feels good.

today is call the insurance co, take down the xmas decor, prep up the other house day. gotta also show the fam the new ride.  lol!

well have a great sunday and i'm off to surf and maybe make some addies on my blog.
