Such a Saturday!

Hi everyone! I promise I haven't forgotten you but Emma decided that today was the day. She went peepee in the potty, then proceeded to do it again 3 more times now. So today has been lots of fun doing that. Then she decided today was a no nap day and I've been trying to finish up the preview for the July incentive kit for Happy Scrapz. Did you pop over to DigiByDesign to see what kits, besides my Green Alchemy, are 50% off today for Super Saver Saturday?

Magical Mondays

Hi there everyone! Once again I did battle with my little darling and I even won! She's napping once more but I have to watch the time to be sure it's not a long nap or she'll never sleep tonight. Oh, and I found last Friday's freebie so that'll be up for you tomorrow. Told you it was a magical day. So let's get to the freebies! Julie O. has part 4 of Eastern Spice up for grabs. Sabine has the next installment of Pansies for Everyone on her blog. Acorn Designs has part 5 of Morning Glory here and 2 pretty QPs here. Valinda has a beautiful element pack up today!

Woo-hoo, she's napping!

Emma is napping as I type. She napped yesterday for a whopping 34 minutes and was an even worse grump for it, let's hope today is longer. Thank you everyone for the kind wishes and thoughts on my little monster. I know it'll all work out but until we get a new schedule going I just can't promise to be reliable, and I miss my computer so much!!! Now, totally off topic but, does your local McDonald's have the minty ice cream goodness that mine does? They have a minty mudslide shake and a minty something-or-another McFlurry that both taste like grasshopper pie, or mint chip ice cream with a fudge ribbon. (I can't decide which but it's a close call.) And since I was craving some mint chip this was a good substitute. We don't have a Baskin Robbins here anymore, we only have a Cold Stone. And while the incredible tasty treats you can make at CS are good nothing will ever top BR in my mind. I used to get a mint chip ice cream cake every year for my b-day if I could swing it. I miss those. Or the clown cones were so neat and yummy! I made a pineapple upside down cake the other day for the BBQ and I must say I love those suckers too. I forgot how easy and delicious they are. Okay, let's get caught up on some freebie hunting: Valinda has some great soft colored papers on her blog. (Scroll down to grab them all.) Rikki made some pretty papers for you. Michaele has a cute little vacation word art on her blog. Saab has a great DPS template up for grabs. Nina has a beautiful piece of word art on her blog. Sweet Made has an ad-on for her Blu kit. Jennilyn has a Super template up. Kristy has 3 new overlays for you. Lindsay Jane has a great template up. Rachel has some cute polka dot bows. Heather has 2 templates on her blog. (One is from yesterday so scroll down.) Traci has a very lovely embellished tag up for grabs. (Aka- tag cluster) Pillowgirl has a great set of neutral papers on her blog. Janidee has some neat QPs to kick off her new kit Camo, Lace and Bling. (I also seemed to have missed posting her You've got Male kit, but the links are still up so scroll down & grab it!) The other Amy W. has a killer pinned & tagged alpha for you. Krista has a lovely mini kit called Wildflowers. Mary Anne has a cute Add-On for her Lilies and Daisies kit. Rose Made Designs has a cute mini kit called Sunstripe. Please remember to share the love! Misty has a new way of doing a grab bag. Go read how cool she in on her blog! Maria asked ever so nicely to use one of my templates to make a killer Qp and I said she could. Grab it here off her blog. * Manu is having a guest CT call. Head over to her blog and read all about how you can be cool like me and join her CT! Happy Scrapping Everyone!

We're experienceing technical difficulties... stay tuned.

Okay, here's the deal. Emma has decided that she doesn't need naps anymore. This has not only thrown our schedule for a loop but also made her extremely grumpy and clingy. I hope this is a short phase of her either adjusting to no naps or going back to taking them. Since I usually blog and go on freebie hunts during her naptime I'm at a loss currently as to when I'll be able to fit it all in. I'll get it worked out soon and stop in when I can to post freebies I know of in the meantime. I don't have a Friday freebie for you all because I can't find the file, I know it's on my computer somewhere but but the little bugger is hiding. I need a vacation or a backrub, I'm willing to pay big time for either at this point. Or even a pint of Baskin Robbins mint chip would work. You can scroll down and grab the add-on to Perfectly Poppies that I posted yesterday. Sorry, to be such a slacker but Emma is more than I can handle right now and with hubby on 12 hour shifts this week he's no help at all since he's not around. Maty Anne has a alph to match her new kit Lilies and Daisies for you. (She also has a cool PSP script for making buttons up for grabs here.) Mrs. Miles has some neat veggie elements on her blog. Misty has some transportation stickers. Lindsay Jane has a Melon mini kit. Heather has a cool template for you. Ksharonk has an add-on for her new kit Boy Stuff. Christine has a cool new kit called Go Camping grab the papers here and the alpha here. Kim B. has a beautiful new set of Vintage overlays in her shop and a free one for you! Julie O. has part 3 of Eastern Spice up for grabs. Angela has 2 Star-Spangled QPs for you. Remember to leave some love y'all!

Poppies are popping up everywhere!

Today was the last day of swim lessons for Emma. I think I'll see if there's another session next week because while we're doing better she still has a lot to learn. I'll share the photos we took today once I get them developed but I had to use an underwater camera so they need to go into the lab. Here are a few LOs done by my fabulous CT with my new kit Perfectly Poppies: This one is by Silke and it's adorable! This next one Michaele made of her little cutie! And here it is Perfectly Poppies! Now in the DigiByDesign shop! And just for you all a cute little add-on for Perfectly Poppies, enjoy!Sorry, this is no longer available. Happy Scrapping Everyone! P.S. Emma & I have a BBQ to go to tonight and I need to make my dessert during Emma's nap. So I'll be back while it's baking and we'll see what freebies we can find, but my time will be limited.

Hi everyone! It's a scorcher outside today. Here's a photo I got from the VBS people of Emma's class during song time. Aren't they cute? See I used one of Katie Hatfield's arrows to point out the back of Emma's head. She does all the dances in the car now when I play the CD. I'm off to a MOM event with Emma and was cleaning house earlier so no freebie list I think today. Unless Emma goes to sleep early tonight. ( don't hold your breath, I'm not.) If you need a freebie fix pop over to the Ikea Goddess' blog. She always has a lovely list! Happy Scrapping!

I scream, you scream, we scream for ice cream!

Hi everyone I'm still feeling a bit down but I couldn't let a Friday go by with out your freebie. Emma is so cute, we play the VBS music CD in the car and she back there singing and doing the motions. I have no clue if I'll be back later with a freebie list either, I'm still not feeling 100% . So here's a little summer mini kit I made while playing around with Betsy Tuma's Designer's tool box. I figured it was sweet: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Sorry, this is no longer available. Happy Scrapping Everyone!

Hey y'all. Sorry to do this 2 days in a row but I caught some kind of bug that is whipping my tushy. Emma is fine and running circles around her poor mommy. I just don't have the energy to be online today. We skipped swimming this morning and I'm having a friend take her to VBS tonight. I'll try for tomorrow but we'll have to wait and see. Happy Scrapping Everyone!

Done in.

Hey everyone. Sorry to say but I'm done in for the day. I have zero energy left to freebie hunt. If you need a freebie fix stop by the Ikea Goddess' blog. She has some great templates and other goodies listed for the day. Happy Scrapping!

Is it really only Tuesday? It's been a tiring week so far. Here for you viewing pleasure are some shots of VBS. Mind you they're limited because the only other kid I'm allowed to share is Kullan so you don;t get to see a lot of the cute ones. First is Emma waiting for opening. It's a water park theme this year with the motto "Take the Plunge". Lots of water, swimming and fishing references. Playing ball while waiting to start still. This is where they were trying to get cute shots of the kids for the slide show on the final night but of course my darling had to play. I don't think they ever got a cute shot of her. (Well suitting still at least.) Here's story time, Luke 5:1-11. They're fishing, well Emma is paddling out for open water. I'll bring my camera again this week and see if I can get anymore good ones. Noe I showed you Manu's new element pack yesterday but she also has a faboo new kit! You can grab it at DigiByDesign or the DigiScrapShak.

What a weekend, and it's only half over!

Whew, I'm glad the day is over! We had lots of fun last night at the church BBQ. Then today was go, go, go! Emma skipped her nap and was as a result very grumpy all afternoon evening. On the up side it means she went down early and won't be such a pain to get up for services tomorrow. And VBS starts tomorrow night! I don't know if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it. I suppose it'll depend on how Emma handles it since that's where my feelings are centered around. I hope she can handle it, we'll see. Also Emma and I have Baby Swim lessons for the next 2 weeks starting on Monday so I'm going to be a busy bee! (Eeeek!) Here are some shots from last night. I have a ton more but they all have other people in them and I don't like to bandy photos of others around the net without permission. Okay, let's start off with a quality shot of Emma. This is after we ate and mommy (played by me) remembered she had a camera. Here's a great one of Emma and Kullan. These 2 are always huggy and lovie. So we were trying to get a on camera kiss since they do those all the time but of course my darling would have none of it. Poor Kullan suffering his first rejection. I had to threaten Kristen with flinging the desserts I was standing next to at her in order to get her to turn around for this photo. Here's one of my bible study buddies telling the kids it was his turn to play with the bean bag toss. Emma discovering the youth minister's doggie. Emma and Kullan wheeling it! You'll notice neither has figured out petals yet. (FYI- Emma had her helmet with her but after the fifth time of us putting it on and taking it off it was laid to the side. ) And lastly for your giggling pleasure one of Emma and me. I wish Kristen had told me my hat was coming off before she shot this rather than afterwards. I hope you all stopped by and grabbed some of those cool kits that were part of the Super Saver Saturday sale at DBD today. I know I promised to show you Manu's new goodies but it's still 100F out and I'm too hot and sticky to unzip them and find the previews. I'll have them for you on Monday and hopefully in a LO too! Now then, let's go freebie hunting: Mary Anne has an add-on for her Painted Roses but it's only 24 hrs so go quick! Misty has a beautiful QP up for grabs. Mrs. Miles has an interresting set of tapes today feturing Tea, there's some really neat ones in there today. Heather has a Funky Nature overlay for you! Tracy has some cool Circle Quote Frames.

Catching up and some wordart

Hi everyone I missed you yesterday. I was on the run all day except during Emma's nap, but guess what? Yep, the cable & internet were out again!!! They need to stop messing with my access! According to my hubby it went out again later but I was out with the girls. Tonight is the kick off for summer and VBS at church, it's a wheels party & BBQ. So were supposed to bring bikes, skates, boards anything with wheels. Food and fun will be had. Then Sunday starts the week of actual VBS classes, which if you remember I've volunteered for. So, I don't know if or how often I'll be able to post next week. Ugh I can hear the construction going out out back and hope the cable and such stays today but hubby is off so I won't have a lot of time on here anyway. Okay, today's Friday Freebie are some cute little wordarts I made to celebrate this official launch of the summer.

What a Wednesday!

Well it's Wednesday again, middle of the week. Tomorrow I have a play date for Emma in the morning and then the evening is Mom's night out so I don't know how much of a chance I'll get to post tomorrow. Today I thought she was going to skip her nap but then she just went down late, and then the alarm clock went off for some reason to wake her up early. Oh well, what's a schedule for anyway? Now then there are 3 new grab bags up at DigiByDesign. One is Jessica's and it's an awesome deal for only $2! I know what's in it, but can't tell you. But I will say go buy it NOW!!!!The other two are by Melissa (Miss Pix) and Mary Anne (Curth) and are $2.50 each. I know some of what's in Melissa's and so I can totally say it's worth the money, and while I don't know what's in Mary Anne's she does such awesome work I can't imagine it's not worth the money.

No Internet!!!!

Okay, here's what happened. As some of you may remember they're building houses behind ours. Well they're connecting up their utilities to the existing ones already in place on our street. Well that means they mess up and I had no internet or cable for 6 hours today!!!!! Now I'm not on here constantly but morning time is my time to be online and cruise around for me, then during Emma's nap I get to look for freebies and post my blog. Well little of either happened today. So instead I scrapped a page from my vacation out to California this spring. This is Emma with her Uncle Brent and my hubby's best buddy Scott at the park.
