New projects


THis is the FAMILY album from 2 Daisies Designs. They are a new paper company that premiered at CHA this time. VERY cute stuff go look at them if you get a chance. I LOVE this little mini book. I decorated it with chipboard, ribbons and lots of bling dots in different colors. Really jazzed it up.
I couldnt show all these before then we got sick with the stomach flu so Im just now getting them up here. Thanks for looking.

THis is another line of the paper 2 daisies sent for me to use. The skeletons I thought would make really fun mardi gras papers since Im down here in the heart of Mardi Gras country. I think it turned out really cute. IT IS MUCH brighter and livlier in person and the colors are so much more vibrant the photo doesn’t do it justice.

This is a new paper line that premiered at CHA this past weekend called 2 daisies designs. I LOVE this line of paper it was perfect for these photos of my nephew when he was little. (HI ZACH DONT KILL ME MAN) The stars I made 3 d by folding them and placing popdots behind them.

I can finally show you this page I did for the SCRAPBOOK LIFESTYLE TELEVISION’S scrappin Idol contest. I made it through to the next round whehew. THankyou all who voted for me I so appreciate it. I had so much fun on this page. One of my most favorite colors is GREEN so this was really a blast for me. We ahd to use Green Cardstock and embelishments but the patterned paper could be other colors. I know that scalloped paper looks yellow but it is a real limey yellow green color and has green flourishes in the back ground.

spoke just a little too soon

OK I spoke too soon. …. I ended up with some kinda bad stomach flu hat has had me in the bed for a week. For something they say won’t kill ya man I sure felt pretty close a few times there. SO easy to get dehydrated. I THINK we are almost over it now. Playing major catch up worse than I was to start with. BUT at least no one is puking.
Just a quick update. Bella got the rest of her uniforms today. John took her and finished that for me (thank you John) she is gonna look too cute but I can tell she is gonna hate this thing before its over. very boring. anyway just a quick update and we are continuing to pray for our friend Billy Hall that was in the boating accident that has a severe head trauma. He is in the neuro science hospital at university medical in Jackson Mississippi so please say an extra prayer for him and his family.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

HEY yall! FIRST THANK YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH for the prayers for Royce Mcglohon that works with John. He was involved in a VERY SERIOUS accident earlier in the week and IS VERY fortunate to be alive. Your continued prayers will be so appreciated. He is having surgery TODAY to repair the c-5 and c-6 vertebrae in his neck. THey have seen no paralysis and Say he should be back up walking and working in around a month! SO many prayers were answered there. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your prayers for he and his family. THey all spend so much time in their vehicles working the way they do and it is so scary. People are so distracted now a days with cell phones etc. SO PLEASE be careful and pay extra attention AND SLOW DOWN! Please remember Royce and his family today as he goes through this surgery and also as he endures his recovery.
THe photos are unbelievable. So amazing he is alive.

Vacation Bible School starts next week at our church so please keep that in your thoughts and prayers as well.

I took my last big dose of the shingle medication (WHEHEHWWW pause for cheers and applause) I feel soooo much better. I just have to wait out the time now so I can be around pregnant people and kids under 2 and older people. I have to be off this med for 2 weeks and shingle free 10 days. That kinda knocks out VBS for us but, AT LEAST I can GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE SOME!!! Going stir crazy here!

We have our SPONSOR UPLOAD TOMORROW at TREASURES TO SCRAP. LOTS OF GORGEOUS creations using AROUND THE BLOCK products. We got SOOOOO MANY COOL THINGS to try out and play with. IM LOVING their products. IF YOU DONT have their paper tagger and little label maker, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. THIS IS THE COOLEST THING! THEIR inkers that have the sanders on the opposite ends are also A FAVORITE around here. I want MORE OF THEM!! SO be sure and check that out tomorrow. I will also Post what I did with them On here. SO check back! ALSO the DESIGN TEAM has SCRAPJACKED the site since the owner is out of town. I hear that a few are running wild with red sharpies. PUTTING moustaches on avatars and having way too much fun. THEY also marked down sooo much stuff in the store and are giving discounts right and left. SO ughmm might better hurry before Tracy gets back hahaha!
