I got new shoes today!

Actually, what I got is more flip flops. Three pairs of them. LOL! You can never have too many flip flops.

I've lost my resort pass again. I used it in the mail room on Wednesday to pick up a package and haven't seen it since. The problem is that I only remember that I've lost it at weird times, like now and when I need to get inside the security gate or when I'm locked out of the building. LOL!

Luckily, the guards on the back gate know me pretty well and let me in. It pays to be nice to them! LOL! So far, there's only been one time that I needed to get in the building and had to wait for someone to come along. Thank goodness the wait wasn't long! A cute guy in a Kinko's shirt was on his way out and held the door for me. Thank you, Kinko's guy!

Anyway, tomorrow's project is to try and find the pass. Wish me luck! If you've got any ideas on where I should look, I'd love to hear them! LOL!

April has got a pretty set in her store called Heavenly Hybiscus. We've been taking pictures of the kids at school for our end of year luau party so I played with her kit a little today...



I also used Flowerscraps portion of A Mother's Moment blog train to scrap one of my London pictures. This statue was in the Imperial War Museum. There was a whole section devoted to the children of World War II. It was a very sad and beautiful part of the museum. There was a gentleman there that had been a child in London during the war. He was with his grandchildren and was pointing things out to them and sharing his memories. His stories actually had my friend Susan and I in tears.



In honor of Mother's Day, Shel Belle Scraps is releasing the first part of a kit today called Mother's Love. It's a beautiful kit with nice soft colors. I used some of the background papers from it to scrap another London Picture. This one was taken in Harrods Department Store and is a statue honoring Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed.



Here's a preview of the kit for you to see. Now make sure you go visit Shel to pick it up!



OK, everyone, give my friend Dianna of Digicats a big hand. She is now selling her tagger size kits at Stargazer Scraps! Go check it out! She's got a Mother's Day sell going on now.

Now, I've got an exra freebie for you today in honor of my new flip flops. LOL! Have you ever seen anyone so excited over flip flops?

Friday was truck/career day and it was lots of fun! It was smaller than it has been in past years because several business' said they just couldn't participate. This years favorite---the hot guys from the SWAT Team. LOL! I've got pictures but haven't done anything with them yet.

Florida has it's first confirmed cases of the swine flu. One is on the other coast in Lee County (Be careful Dianna!) and the other is in Broward County which is just north of us. I don't want anyone to get sick but it sure would be nice to get school closed for a couple of days. I know, I know, I'm being bad! LOL!

I'm going to bed now so that I can get up get my errands run and then join the online fun for National Scrapbooking Day. Hopefully, I'll see you on the forums. Enjoy your day!

Happy May!

This is a beautiful quote that was requested by Jessica. I hope you can use it too. Enjoy your day!

It's the first of May and there are so many exciting things going on! Just look at this preview from Shel Belle Scraps! It's her part of the May ADSD Collab called Sunshine Beach. It's so cool! I'll be using these graphics on lots of my summer things! You need to go to her blog to pick this up and find out what other blogs you should visit!



Shel also posted an add-on to the awesome Rock Star Birthday Kit that you have got to check out while you're at her blog!

Don't forget to come by the Stuff to Scrap Forum on Saturday to check out the fun and try to win some prizes!

If you use Photoshop and are design challenged like I am, Tammy DeYoung is going to being giving a tutorial on how to make a background paper at Aimee Asher Saturday morning at 8 AM Central Time.

I'm going to an evening of wine tasting and h'orderves until 9:00 PM Friday night. So, here's hoping I get up in time to join some of the early fun at the forums. LOL! I've also got some things I need to take care of during the day on Saturday, but I will be spending as much time as I can celebrating National Scrapbooking Day online!

I've got an extra wordart freebie for you today that was requested by Dianna of Digicats. She's working on a Mother's Day Kit and I just can't wait to see it! Hope you can use this too...

What's up with Mediafire?

I'm not sure what's been wrong with Mediafire for the last couple of days, but it seems to be working OK now. Let's hope it stays that way!

Today was beautiful. A little windy, but still beautiful! There's a brush fire burning in the south west part of Dade County that is threatening some houses. There's been a fire burning in Collier County for several days now that has caused them to close Alligator Alley because of the smoke. I'm lucky not to live anywhere near these fires, but I sure do feel sorry for anyone who does. The winds we've been having haven't helped the situations.

We've got lots of rip currents and people are being told to stay out of the water. Guess that's what swimming pools are for. LOL! I hope the wind dies down soon, but they're saying that tomorrow will be just as windy.

I got to spend more time with What IF Guy before he flew out this afternoon and that was fun. We went to several tourist spots. I like going to these places so I'm always happy when people visit me and I have an excuse to go. LOL!


Dianna at Digicats released her Cinco de Mayo kit and it's awesome! It is just loaded with elements and papers. Make sure you stop by her blog to pick it up. Here's the preview for you to see...



You should also stop by April's blog and pick up the great QP she has for you!

OK, I've had a long day and need to get up early in the morning. I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

I was talking to another teacher at school today who has a child in my friend Natalie's room. Apparently, her daughter heard us talking about the Oscars and saw the dress that Natalie would be wearing when she brought it in at lunchtime for us to see. She was able to pick up enough information to know that Natalie was going somewhere and that there was a TV show involved. She went home Thursday turned the TV on, started watching MTV and looking for "the lady in the green dress" LOL! She got the dress color correct, but I have no idea what she heard that made her think Natalie would be on MTV. LOL!

There was no call from George Clooney today. Do you remember when David Letterman was keeping track of how many days went by before he heard from Oprah? I kind of feel like I'm doing that with the call from George now. LOL! You know, he should just call already! LOL!

I got another layout done using April's Lucky Leprechaun Kit. I just love this kit!



Now, if you would like to pick up an awesome and free tagger size kit called Irish Eyes go visit Dianna at Digicats (and Dogs). It's her first kit and she has done a wonderful job on it. Make sure you let her know how much you like it so we can get her to do more! LOL!

The cold medicine is kicking in so I've got to get some sleep. Have a great weekend!

Well, I was very proud of myself this morning. I remembered to go south to go north. Of course, that was after I couldn't remember where I parked the car. LOL! They're working on opening up express lanes on the south end of the interstate now. When that opens up I'll have to decide if I want to pay to come back home after work. The northbound lanes have spoiled me so I'll probably pay. LOL! Sadly, because of the higher traffic in the afternoons it will probably cost more than a quarter.

The Marks family sent us some more great postcards from England and
Alexandra sent a card with beautiful pictures of the Sussex area of England. Oh goodness, you guys in the UK are taking such good care of us! You're spoiling us rotten and we love it! Please, let us know if we can ever return the favor and send things from Miami.

Are you ready to work on Valentine things yet? April the Scrapaholic had got a beautiful set called Sweet Valentine at Scrap it Sassy. It's such a cool set. Here's a preview for you to see...



You can buy the whole kit or just the parts you think you'll use the most.

I have really got to start checking my junk mail folder more often. I've had some really cool emails land there instead of the main inbox. One of them contained this super cool tag that Dianna made for me. I just love it! She makes the best tags!



It's past my bedtime, so I must get some sleep. Enjoy your day!
