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!

April posted a beautiful QP freebie on her blog the other day. It's perfect for this time of year! I've got a preview here for you to see, but you'll need to visit April's blog to pick it up.



Flowerscraps posted an add-on freebie for her Memories of the Orient Kit. The full kit is for sell at One Single Seed, but you can pick up the add-on on her blog. Check it out...



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...

They'll be another request by Dianna tomorrow that I'll give you as an extra.

Now, it's late and I've got a long day ahead of me so I'm going to get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

You know you're lazy when...

You know you're lazy when you order dinner from the deli in the same building you live in and still have them deliver. LOL! I couldn't help it, I just didn't feel like walking down there. I made up for it by working out a little longer on the wii fit.

I'm excited about it being the end of April. We're that much closer to summer vacation!

Friday is Truck Day at school. They get area business' to bring out the big trucks they use and the drivers tell the kids all about the truck and how it helps them do their jobs. This year they've had a hard time getting companies to volunteer for this program because of the economy. It will still be a fun day for the kids though!
Their favorite part is when the drivers blow the horns on the trucks. So, even if we only have one truck the kids will love it as long as he blows the horn. LOL!

We're getting closer to Saturday and all the fun at the Stuff to Scrap Forum! Don't forget to come by and join in on the fun!



I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

I'm such a dork!

We're working hard to plan our end of the year party for the kids and their parents. I'm hooked on the Luau theme. After school today one of the girls was going to the dollar store to pick things up for us and I was going to Party City. Well, I got in the car and it automatically drove me straight home. LOL! Really! It's not my fault!

I waited until most of the rush hour traffic had died down and went back out. Party City is getting ready for summer and they were putting out lots of cute luau themed items. I spent too much money and if you add that to the Oriental Trading order I made last week I've spent way too much money. LOL! Sadly, I'm sure more will be spent before it's all over. And to think, Dade County thought we didn't need our raises...

Did you visit Digicats yesterday or today? Dianna has her Chocolicious Kit up and it looks yummy! Check out this preview...



Do you see the very cute blonde girl in the left hand corner? Her name is Ginger. Isn't that just a wonderful name? LOL!

I've got to get some sleep. I've been staying up way too late lately. Enjoy your day!

Two freebies today!

So, last night I TIVOed Desperate Housewives and watched it when I got home today. The Susan character is a woman after my own heart---she can't cook either. There was a scene where she was mopping her ceiling and explained that it needed to be done because she had cooked. LOL! She then proceeded to say...



I thought that was classic! Although I can't blame my omelet mishap on the stove, I can save this excuse for another day. LOL! You can too...just download the wordart here.

Is anyone having trouble uploading to Mediafire? For several days now I haven't been able to add anything new. What a pain!

I'm off to bed now. Enjoy your day!

Lots of things to tell you about!

I can't believe I have to go back to work again tomorrow. Why do the weekends fly by so quickly? Is June ever going to get here?

I know that I've told you about my lack of cooking skills before, but today I decided to turn the stove on and cook something. I wanted an omelet and decided to cook it myself. Now, in the past when I've tried to make one, it ends up looking more like scrambled eggs with stuff in it. It's not very pretty but it's usually edible. LOL! I got it cooked and on the plate without too much trouble. I decided to put some salt on it and realized that my normal salt shaker needed to be refilled. So, I grabbed one of the store bought prefilled shakers I had left over from a cookout. It wasn't until my plate was covered in PEPPER that I realized I had grabbed the wrong shaker AND opened the pour side of the lid instead of the shaker side.

Now here's the best and most embarrassing part of the story.....I had to make a special trip to the store just to buy the stuff to make the omelet. LOL!

...And that's why I get food delivered!

I wanted to show you another layout I made using Shell's Rock Star Birthday Kit. This picture was also taken at Madam Tussauds Wax Museum. It wasn't a very good picture, but Shell's papers and elements make it look better. It's Bob Marley...



Flowerscraps is adding a new kit to her store today called Memories of the Orient. Here's a preview of the kit...



Isn't it pretty? I was lucky enough to get to play with it ahead of time. Here are the layouts I made...





You should also checkout Flowerscraps blog for the chance to pick up some awesome quickpages that have been made with her Sweet Love Kit!

Here's another layout using a picture from Madam Tussauds. That's my friend Susan holding onto John Wayne...



I used April's Leather Kit to scrap the picture. Somehow, it just seemed right to use leather for The Duke. LOL! Here's a preview of the kit...



There's a new report out that says Miami is the third most violent city in the US. I guess sometimes it is good not to be in first place. LOL! But you know what? I think this place is heaven and can't think of any place else that I would want to live! I love Miami!

Now, on a brighter note---Do you like to use templates when you scrap? Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. When I do use a template I love, love, love using one made by Nibbles Skribbles She's got a new set of templates in her store and they are perfect! Cheeck this set out...



Psst: I wanted to let you in on a little secret - there is a coupon included with the download for this set and rumor has it that Manda is going to be having a sale in her store for National Scrapbook Day. Combine the coupon with the sale and you will be able to get anything and everything in her store for half price, but only for a limited time - you won't want to miss this. So hurry over and pick up Template Set

What are you doing Saturday? Here's where I'll be...



Actually, the fun starts tomorrow and will last all week. You don't want to miss this! ALL TIMES ARE IN MTN STD TIME! So, all I have to do is figure out what time it will be in Miami when this is all going on and I'll see you at the Stuff To Scrap Forum

It's my bedtime. Enjoy your day!

Rock Star Birthday

I can't believe that I forgot to tell you about the new kit that Shel Belle Scraps is going to start releasing today! It's a super kit that I'm using to make things for a friends birthday, so I'll show those goodies to you when I can. Right now I can't risk ruining the surprise. LOL! Anyway, here's a preview of the kit for you to see...



Trust me, this preview doesn't do the kit justice. There are so many wonderful elements. Is there a Guitar Hero in your house? Do you know an aspiring rock star? Anyone into karaoke? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you really need to pick this kit up.

Here's a layout I made using one of my London pictures from Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. I'm not sure who the girl is that's in the picture with Freddie Mercury. There were so many people trying to get there to get a picture with/of him that I gave up and just took one. LOL!



I decided to give you another wordart freebie today. This one should work with some of your layouts using this kit. Of course, I had to use 4 shared again because mediafire doesn't seem to like me very much these days. LOL!

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!
