Happy Blogaversary!

Happy Blogaversary to me!
I can not believe that I started blogging 1 year ago today.
It all started because I wanted to do THIS CHALLENGE and it was the beginning of a wonderful journey. I have met so many talented ladies, ladies that never in a million years would our paths have crossed had it not been for this hobby, such as THIS SASSY CHICK, she was the second person to make a comment on my first post and has become my friend, who would have known, nor would I have ever tried out for the DT at The Paper Niche where I met THIS TALENTED LADY. who is teaching little by little how to work with this crazy blog and who puts together such beautiful kits or FUNKY BP. who thought my GESSO stuff was cool enough to get a spotlight on VP and so many others but none of this would have happened without MY GURU LA VERNE she always told me to think outside the box and told me NOT to be scared and start blogging.

So in honor of my Blogaversary, I have a wonderful giveaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep! It is the JULY KIT AND ADD ON KIT FROM THE PAPER NICHE, I had such a great time playing with it that I want to share the joy : ) All you have to do is leave a message and I will pick a winner on Sunday, unfortunately I can not do International because they want to charge you an arm and a leg for the shipping, but if you want to pay for the shipping it's all good with me : )

I want to say THANK YOU to all you wonderful ladies who always take a minute of your day to check out my crazies and are kind enough to always leave me loving, supporting messages.
Have a wonderful day!!!!!!!

WWC #2

So THIS GIRL. had her second Wacky Wednesday Challenge and I must say it was pretty interesting because you have to follow the DO's and the DON T's which will make you think and it will make you create something you would probably never really have thought you could do, here is my take and let it be know it is not something that I would have thought of doing on my own : ) this is why I HEART challenges.

Point Blank

I chose to do a layout about my daily struggle, actually it no longer is my daily struggle because after much praying, crying and praying some more I woke up 1 day last month and it was as clear as daylight, I chose that we should stay where we live in order to keep our daughters in their private Montessori school, their way of teaching is like no other and we were not willing to sacrifice their education for a bigger house. even though we have outgrown this one.

I realy doubt that you have not heard of SASHA but if you haven't go check her out, you will NOT be dissapointed.

Now I have to once again post some pictures of our girls, how is it that they can go from this

to this

Photobucket

in a matter of seconds????????????? Really!!!!!!! Is THIS what I will have to deal with for the rest of my life??? I have 2 brother and no sisters so I have no clue. Please tell me it is not so : ) Well ladies, I am off to play with papers since I am not yet sleepy. As always THANK YOU for the sweet words, you ladies ROCK! Have a wonderful Sunday!

July kit sneak peek

Hello ladies, can I just vent for 1 second and say that I have had the week from hell, Soli has had a fever of 102 for the past 3 days and at one point I thought she might have that flipping swine flu because she came in contact with someone who was diagnosed with it last Wednesday so that same day her pediatrician prescribed Tamiflu for both our girls and all was well until 3 days ago but today we were told that all she has is a virus (after they ran tests) and the reason she is vomiting is because of the Tamiflu and now on top of that medicine she is also on Amoxicillin and Cyphen and I NEVER EVER give our girls antibiotics but at this point I have no choice.

OOF!!!!!! Now that I got that off my chest, here are the sneaks from the JULY KIT AT THE PAPER NICHE. Boy oh boy did I enjoy working with this one... who a m I kidding!!!! I always have such a great time with their kits and not that I am kissing up or anything but LEAH always does such a fabulous job at putting those kits together. Now prepare yourself for lots of pictures

Photobucket

Gosh they melt my heart!
As always, I want to say THANK YOU for stopping by to check out my craziness and for always leaving me such wonderful messages, they mean the world to me.

Art Journaling 201

Look at what I signed up for again ART JOURNALING 102. with the oh so talented DINA WAKLEY. I took her last journaling class back in March??? and it was incredible. Here is my first journaling page, I so scraplifted this bad boy from her and I love it to pieces. I chose not to journal on the page because I want my husband to journal on it, look at how happy he was pushing Angejolie around. This picture was taken in December 2007 as we were leaving a Christmas lunch they have every year at the Barry University Campus, AJ was so hot that she opened up her dress :D :D :D

Photobucket

I can't wait to get better at this because it is so much fun and liberating, there is something about just slapping some paint on a page and not worrying about whether or not this matches or is this perfect? It's all about just telling my story of the moment. You should really go check her out if you haven't already.

And here a layout I did of Soli and Riley on Father's Day, those 2 together bring out the crazy in each other. We were all just hanging out by the pool when all of the sudden they put on these goggles and started posing for me and then they went ninja on my behind.

Photobucket

Well my dear friends, that is all a girl like me has to share for today.
As always THANK YOU for stopping by to check out my craziness and for all your loving and positive comments. Have a wonderful day...the weekend is almost here!!!!!!!!
