Movin' on up

I've moved! My new home is ->FadedMagnolia!

TWO headaches and a page..hehe

What is in the air today? My kids are acting like absolute MONSTERS!!! Abby's feelin' kinda icky so she at least has an EXCUSE.... geesh.. I really think I should have put my foot down with Noah and the Star Wars thing. He runs around ALL day hitting and swinging his light thingie. He's taken to just shovin' Abby down if she's just standing oh ummm ANYWHERE... He's been sent to his room about 15 times today and NOTHING... doesn't phase him. I'm thinking of finding the number to Nanny 911...LOL

BUT I did manage to get this page made.. I've been wanting to start adding some of the kid's cousin's to their books. Kyle would be the one to start with. LOL He's gotten so much better than he used to be but LAWD was he a handful!!!! This new kit from Holly McCaig, For the Boys will be at The Shabby Shoppe in February... totally cute and worth EVERY single cent!!! I'm sure I'll have a few more pages out of that one!

Hopefully I'll get to watch some movies tonight.. John rented me a handful of girlie flicks.. woohoo. He has a tattoo appointment tomorrow so he's suckin' up..LOL I don't even want to know where this one is going to go. He's not that tall.. he's gonna run out of skin soon..hehe In the meantime I'm stuck with some that need recoloring.... you think he'd share his opening with his wifey... uh huh.

I have to run... the house is coming down around me!!!!

Up too late... again

Well, I get started on something and I can't STOP.... I need a brain shut off switch or something. I think I'm just happy to be up and around and thinking clearly for a change..hehe

I was stressing over my first lo for Holly's Ct... I mean.. GEESH.. I've been using her things since my VERY first digital page.. LOL PRESSAH...so I struggled for a while.. just decided that the LO is ACTUALLY FOR Abby.. and then it was easy..LOL WHY do I make things difficult? =)

Anway... here's Holly's Memory kit from her site. Tell me this thing is not FABulous. I could have piled a few more things on here too hehe. I'm going to have to make a heritage page with this set.. it just WANTS me to. hehe Let's see.. my favorite thing in here was probably that amazing date marker. HOW COOL is this thing?!?!

We've been having so much fun at the Shoppe lately. We must have the most amazing assembly of women... it's just comfortable and fun.. exactly what we wanted!!! Janel worked the day away while I made a blinkie and a banner..LOL I PLANNED on working but I think I'm just going to do some repackaging and scrap a bit more tomorrow.. THEN work.

Alright... it's almost LATE in the MORNING...LOL I need to catch a few hours before the herd awakens.

Few previews for ya!!!

A few previews.. for some reason my bloggerbot isn't working correctly... this will have to do for now..LOL

I hope to have the elements finished for upload this Friday!

YAY...

We finally get to pick up the kiddos tomorrow.. I don't care if a blizzard hits and I have to ice skate my ass to Chicago.. I NEED to see my babies..hehe John's been mopin' around for 2 days now..it's like it finally just started to wear on us. We now know that 2 weeks is just TOO long. I DID need the break though..I feel so much better. Also learned that John and I *ARE* good together.. even without the kids around. Ya start to wonder... or I do anyway...if it's just the kids that we're actually here for. It's like your life REVOLVES around their little whims and you forget to take care of the other adult in your house. I mean.. John is lucky if I fix HIM something for dinner... much less make sure I talk to him about how his day went. It's been good for us...I *do* love my little ewok. =)

I made this LO today with Janel's My Cousin's Bedroom kit from The Shoppe. The little felt stars are by Amy Martin.. I LOVE her.. Janel and I have this joke going about my obsession with that chick..hehe. She's just tooooo amazing. I also JUST bought those acrylic alphas from Dani Mogstad... could they be any cuter? Also.. my own bling there.. I gave them out to a few folks and I think I'm the only one who uses them..hehe Maybe it's the LEO in me.. who knows. I like the pretties.

I've gotta secret goin on..... I'm holdin' my breath and crossin' my fingers... I should know soon IF I should be excited... I don't wanna say ANYthing because I don't wanna jinx myself. BUT for the LOVE OF GOD... if ya love me AT ALL... think good thoughts for me..LOL

Wow... AI was wild..LOL I already have one of the top 10.. that vocal coach daughter.. GEESH she could blow!!! I missed the very end though because of the husband.. grrrr. Why is it they don't appreciate AI or Reality shows like women? He'll get into Survivor or anything with an engine.. Monster this and Chopper that. Men!

I'm using bloggerbot... for those of you Blawgahs that aren't familiar with it.. you basically just instant message your own blog through HELLO and it's magically zipped to your blog.. you should check it out!!! You can even whip pictures into here with a click of a button. FABU dahlink.

I just have to say... I cannot wait for the Shabby Shop to open... I wanna see what Holly has up her sleeve.. also.. Taran Conyers man.. yep.. too excited. My paypal account is loaded and ready to go...hehe
We also have the shoppe almost finished.. we spent the day copying files and such from the old site to the new one. I'm just so ready for it to be done... We have some exciting things happening and I am an impatient chick!

I just had to do something with this pic of Nic.. could he look any slicker? LOL When I showed him he asked me to make him one..I then had to explain the digital world... he's still scratchin' his head. I used Amy Martin's felt stars from Modscraps, Holly McCaig's bling fasteners from HollyMcCaigDesigns, Mo Jackson's glitter alphas.. and my own Summer of 69 Kit from the Shoppe.

A little sneak peek at my new kit coming to thedigishoppe this Friday!!!

Finished

Finally.. now I can't wait to see what the totally smokin' Shoppe Girls are gonna do with her..LOL
They so are one of the best groups of women! I want to start including some of them with the previews.. I'm gonna have to somehow coordinate that coming up... again.. more time please.

Sooooo can I just tell you that I'm stalking' Jenni Bowlin's site.. just waiting to see what she's doing. I LOVED her with LIl Davis so I'm just waiting.. and waiting.. and waiting... LOL So many women are crankin' up their own sites and doin' it for themselves.. it's empowering. My Mom was just telling me today how she wasn't allowed to play drums in school because she was a girl... can you imagine. I DARE someone to tell my daughter she CAN'T do something... I'll go all "Livingston Parish" on em... hehe Katy is so the only person who might even know what that means.. but it's the cajun equivalent to hood rat...ahhhh Don't ya love me this late.

I'm also wondering today... why I can't find a decent hotel room in or around New Orleans for Feb... ummm could it be that Mardi Gras is going to rock this year despite what mamma nature threw at her? Heck yeah... I soooo cannot wait. Our plans are still in pencil.. and much to the dismay of my hubby.. I WILL go even if it's AFTER MG. I have things to tend to... destiny to try out...LOL
Doesn't a vacation sound good right about now?
