Rock Star Birthday

Download Wordart here

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!

Here's a quick post to give you a request I received from my buddy Toby in Canada. The link will take you to 4shared because mediafire is in a bad mood this morning!

I'm off to enjoy my day now. Hope you enjoy yours!

The good, the bad and the ugly!

What a day I've had!

Here's the Good - It's Friday, It's payday, I spent time with my "what if" guy

Here's the Bad - My "what if" guy met my friends and they showed no mercy. LOL! They told every I have - or should I say had. LOL! It was very interesting and a little scary to watch Orange Croc Guy and What If Guy make small talk over drinks.

Here's the Ugly - I work with someone that is just out of control. She is letting her personal issues get in the way of doing her job and so many other people are suffering because of it. How do you tell someone that they need to seek help?

I get to spend some more time with What IF Guy tomorrow before he flies out in the late afternoon so I guess he wasn't too frighted by my friends and their stories.

As far as the lady at work goes, it's the weekend so we'll all be spared her drama until Monday. Hopefully, she'll get her family issues under control and stop taking it out on other people.

I need to get some sleep now. Enjoy your day!

Every now and then, we'll order in lunch at school instead of bringing it from home. Lately, it seems like we're doing it every Friday. LOL! Well, we were talking today about where we would order from and decided to go with a "real" restaurant instead of the usual delivery places. It looks like we're getting lunch from Chili's tomorrow. Can't wait! Just wish we could get the margaritas, too. LOL!

Check out the tag Dianna made for me! I just love it!



Now aren't you excited to see her Chocoholic Kit? She's so mean to make us wait! LOL!

It's bedtime for me. Enjoy your day!

I'm not unbalanced anymore!

Well, I'm not AS unbalanced as I was. LOL! Tonight, for the first time, I completed all eight levels of the table balance on wii fit. YIPPEE! I had made it to the eighth level before, but had never finished it before running out of time. Now I have and I am rather proud of myself. Can you tell? LOL!

Have you ever done the 10 minute free run on wii fit? Have you noticed that Mario is on the bridge? Do you know why he's there? Does he do anything special? LOL! He's probably just there to make people think he does something when he really doesn't. If you haven't noticed him yet look for him. When you're on the first bridge after the run starts and you get to the top. He's on the right hand side of the bridge right as you start to go down the hill. He looks like grafitti on the bridge, but he's there.

Back in October I posted about having dinner with my "What if Guy". Well, guess who's coming to town this weekend? You guessed it! Mr. What if himself will be in Miami on Friday. I'm excited about seeing him again. This time he's going to meet some of my friends. Poor guy! I hope he's up to the challenge. LOL!

I'm glad to be touching base with an old friend again because it looks like I'm losing a a current friend. I'm not sure why she's angry with me and I've tried asking. She just rolls her eyes and walks away mumbling. She isn't always the easiest person to get along with, but she's never treated me like this before. I know she has an unhappy home life and I've tried to be understanding. For weeks now I tried to give her space to get over what ever is bothering her. I've tried to make nice. I've bitten my tongue instead of losing my temper at her behavior. Nothing seems to make a difference. I feel like there's nothing else I can do. It's all so sad.

Now, on a happier note, my buddy Dianna at Digicats is working on a chocoholic kit that she'll be releasing soon! That motivated me to share this with you today instead of saving it for later. I hope she can use it in her kit and I hope you can use it for your projects too!

Now I've got to get some sleep. Enjoy your day!

Another rainy day

Download Wordart Here

Well, today brought rain, rain and more rain. Do you know what it's like to be in a classroom with 18 kindergarten students that you can't take outside to play? Well, it's not a lot of fun! LOL!

The weather man says the rain is going to stop and the weather will be dropping. I wonder how much it will drop. It's late April so it shouldn't drop too much, but this has been a crazy weather year so who knows. LOL!

It looks like our end of the school year party for the kids and their parents will have a luau theme. If you've got some ideas of things to do that you can share with me, I would really appreciate it. Space is limited and there will be lots of people so we can't go too crazy. LOL!

If you go visit Shel Belle Scraps you can pick up an adorable mini kit she's giving away called Big Blooms. You can also wish her an early happy birthday while you're there!

Don't forget that Shel has got another CT call out! You have to let her know by Saturday if you're interested. The details are on her blog. I promise you'll love working with her!

You also don't want to forget to pay Flowerscraps a visit for the Sweet Love kit. It's just too cute to pass up! You should also check out the kits she has for sell at One Single Seed. If you've missed any of her freebies you may be able to get them there.

Do you have plans for May 2nd yet? It's National Scrapbooking Day! I got an email from Deanna "Flowerscraps" today letting me know all about the fun things planned at the Stuff to Scrap Forum. I plan on checking it out! Hope you will too!

My buddy, April is retiring some of her kits at Scrap it Sassy and that means you can pick up some kits for only one or two dollars! Now, how can you pass that up?

Tonight I was doing the 10 minute free run on wii fit. Don't ask me why! LOL! Any way, I'm standing all alone in front of the TV jogging in place when Orange Croc Guy's mii tried to pass me. Well, I just couldn't let that happen so I started going faster. When I dropped back down to the slower pace... there he was trying to pass me again. I started going faster again and this time I kept going. I got a message that I was going to fast to be safe and needed to slow down. Well, I had to choose between being unsafe and letting Orange Croc Guy pass me and I wasn't about to let him pass me. LOL! So, the wii fit made my mii fall! It didn't just make me fall. It made me fall and turn a summersault. LOL! Needless to say, Orange Croc Guy passed me and I didn't see his mii again. Don't worry, I'll get him back...someday. LOL!

OK, it's my bedtime now. Enjoy your day!
