Butterflies Are Free Revamped!

Download wordart here

Scraps of Ellay has revamped one of my favorite kits---Butterflies Are Free. It's such a fun kit and it is huge! There are 17 papers, 69 elements and 2 full alphas! I know that some of the other CT members have had some fun scrapping family pictures from the 70s so make sure you check out Ellay's blog for some awesome layout inspiration.

You can click on the kit preview to go to the Scraps of Ellay store at Stuff to Scrap.



Here are two layouts I made with the kit. These were both make for challenges at Stuff to Scrap.





This layout is of my little friend Vincent who has no problem taking your drink if you set it down. Here he is after he got hold of his Grandfather's coffee. LOL!



I used a template from the Karly's Dollies Template set for Vincent's layout. The templates are also available in the Scraps of Ellay store.



On Friday, I'll be posting a Butterflies Are Free QP freebie on the Stars of Ellay CT Blog so make sure you pick that up too!

There should be a law....

Download wordart here

Was there a comedian whose tag line was "There should be a law?"

Today my neighbor came over to show me her latest wii workout game. It's one where you pretend you're walking on an island while it tracks how many steps you've taken and how many calories you've burned. While you're walking you earn points that you can use to "unlock" things like park benches, street lights and palm trees to "decorate" your island.

Well, here's how part of that conversation went...

Me: You realize we live on Miami Beach, right?
Her: Yes.
Me: (taking her hand and walking her to the window) What do you see out there?
Her: What are you talking about?
Me: That's water and that flat gray stuff by it is called a sidewalk and people WALK on it. Now, if you don't want to walk by the bay, you can go eleven blocks in that direction (pointing behind us) or ten blocks in that direction (pointing beside us) and you're at the Atlantic Ocean. You can use the sidewalk or the boardwalk or even walk in the sand. And...you'll see lots of hot young guys with their shirts off!
Her: (laughing) Quit making fun of me! I can use this when it rains or when it's just too hot to go outside.

I had to admit that she had a point about the rain and the heat in the summer and she had to admit that I had a point about the hot guys with their shirts off. I still say there should be a law...lol!

Sick Days?

Earlier today one of my friends caught up with me and asked if I wanted to go to lunch. Well, of course I did! LOL! We walked down to the 8oz Burger Bar and of course ordered burgers. YUMMY!

After we got there my friend asked if I have ever called into work sick just because I didn't feel like going. Well, I pointed out that of course I had because everyone knows I hate wasting sick days being sick. He said that he had done it three times this week. I had to laugh when I pointed out that today was Thursday and that Monday had been a holiday. He asked me what my point was. LOL!

Back to normal

OK, things around here are back to normal. I'm over my bout of sadness and self-pity, What If Guy has gone home, Orange Croc Guy has gone back to trying to reclaim the high score on his wii games and Dwyane Wade is staying with the Miami Heat.

This morning I made pancakes all by myself. LOL! I bought the mix in the yellow container that you add water to and shake. Mine weren't like the ones you get at the Waffle House. Mine were crunchy. Have you ever had crunchy pancakes? They were....uummm....interesting. Gross, but interesting. LOL!

Tonight I was on my own for dinner, so I ended the 27 day dry spell and ordered fajitas! And, yes, I have been counting the days since I last saw the cute delivery guy. Other delivery guys visit me on a regular basis, but it just isn't the same. LOL!

The cute delivery guy didn't pose himself in a cheesy way this time, but his smile was just as big. When he didn't hear any comments from the peanut gallery the cute delivery guy asked if I was by myself. I very quickly let him know that I had kicked my friends out so I could have some peace and quiet. He laughed. Apparently, he still remembers what happened the last time we ordered fajitas. LOL!

I'm going to get some sleep now. Enjoy your day!
