Mojo came back!!!

Finally...I got my mojo back!! I cleaned and organized my scrap room a little more today and redid my cabinets. I'm soo excited that I felt like scrapping tonite!! It's like I cleared my head after clearing my area! WHAT A RELIEF!!

I better get mojo b/c I have a crop party at my house on Sunday. I think only 5 people will attend plus myself, but for 4 straight hours, no hubby or kids, it'll be fun! Looking forward to it.

Tomorrow I need to do some housework and getting my supplies ready for the crop. Here is my LO that I did and a look at my scraproom.

Happy July 4th!

Well, the past couple of days have been somewhat painful. Monday I had a migraine all day and the girls were really good to me. They let me just lounge around while I stuck out the migraine. At times I felt like puking but didn't. I had some close calls, but it was okay. I felt so bad b/c we didn't do anything that day. Tylenol didn't help and it stunk b/c I can't take anything else. This baby better be a boy!!! heehee

Yesterday it took an eternity just for the fireworks in Inverness. The girls were so anxious from the time they woke up. We finally met my niece and her family around 6 to go over to the park where the festivities would be. BUT the weather wasn't looking in our interest. In fact, we had to take cover twice. DH wasn't sure if he'd make the fireworks b/c of work and eventually a little twist of his arm over the phone got him to the park just in time. But he brought more rain with him! The kids were a little disappointed b/c they knew that the rain would stop the fireworks. In fact, the 3rd shower changed a lot of people pack up and go home. Just as they all got their chairs in bags, coolers packed up and blankets folded the fireworks started!!! The girls were in awe and it ended up turning out perfect! I'm just glad that we stuck it out.

This morning my husband and decided to wake up Sydney around 630am to sing her Happy B-day. Only b/c DH was leaving for work. She got up and ran outside the room and stood behind a wall while we sang to her. I think she was a little embarrassed as well as sleepy. Then when we stopped she ran back into the room, fell on the floor next to the bed and hid. We had to pick her up and lay her back to sleep!! It was soo funny. She's still sleeping now, 1 1/2 hours later!! :) Morgan didn't even budge when we tried waking her up. And to think it was her idea to do this!! Oh well.

I can't believe Syd's 3 today. Today is my 3rd year being a SAHM and retired from work too. WOW, time flies. Only to start the diaper and formula thing all over again in 7 months. :)

Well, hope all has a Happy 4th and enjoy the fireworks!!

Lost Mojo and another Toot!

Well, I haven't had the desire lately to scrap!! NIGHTMARE!!! I can't seem to find my mojo. It's not hiding in my house b/c I've looked everywhere!! Maybe it's on vacation, maybe it ran away. I just hope it finds it's way back home soon!!

On a better note...I submitted some LO's to savvynsassy.com for their DT call. Didn't get picked but they asked me to be a Guest Designer for September. I'm really excited about it!! I wasn't expecting anything from the submission, just getting a little experience and stepping outside my box. Dont' know if I'll submit to any in the near future...got to see how life is going to be like with 3 kiddos!!!

Well, that's all for now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed my mojo stops in today sometime. If you've seen or heard the whereabouts of my mojo...tell it to come home!

Yippy-Skippy!!

Well, just got on the computer and checked my email. Got a message from thescrapbookclub.com Well...I am one of the members of their IDEA TEAM!!! This is soo cool!!! I've never been on a team (other than my 1 month, which is now, with AS.com). This is for 6 months!!! I soo can't wait to get the first kit and design for them!!! WOW, I'm oober excited. Just wanted to express my excitement!! :)

7 weeks

Well, last week I felt bloated like the Michelin Marshmallow puff man!! AND I was always tired around 5pm. But for some reason, last night I was able to stay up watching my Tivo'd shows until 1230am!! And then on top of that, I was able to get up early and I felt fine!! No more bloating feeling!! YIPPEE!!! But, what does that mean for now? Hmmm...

Well, I'm 7 weeks pregers today, only 33 more to go! Heehee.

I'm just playing on the computer right now while the girls are sleeping. I should be cleaning and cleaning up my scrap desk. NAH! Well, here are some of the creations I made last week. Right now I'm working on my girls b-day invites that need to go out tomorrow. EEK!

Thanks for looking!

Getting the courage...

Well, nothing much going on this week. Started my membership back up at the gym, swimming a ton in the pool with the girls and tried out for a DT call at an awesome site (need to check it out peeps!!) called AddictedScrappers.com.

Today the day started out around 5am for me when I woke up next to both my girls in my bed and DH snoring! I had to get out of the room and ended up on one of my daughter's beds. Then at 7am my oldest comes in her room and DH tells me he's taking our boat back to the storage place. I thought, "what the heck is he doing up so early". Find out, he got kicked!! Heehee!

Then after he dropped the boat off we took our other car into the shop to get new brakes. FINALLY!! I then went grocery shopping with the girls while hubby did yardwork. Then we swam before lunch and after!! It was a nice relaxing day. DH and I finally watched PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS. I really liked that movie. And tonight we are just vegging out. Tomorrow is his day and I can't wait to make him the meals I plan on doing for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (I think that's the baby talking though!!)

Well, I've been searching on PubCalls.com and decided that I'm going to give it a try when other sites/mags have a contest or DT call. I'm trying to brave and step outside my box. It gets me experience in submitting and also a chance to meet other talented scrappers out there! And if I don't get anything, at least I'm getting scrapping done!! GOTTA THINK POSITIVE!! :) Plus, when baby #3 comes around, maybe I won't have that much time to scrap. Gotta get in what I can now!

Bit - mosquitos and the gym!

Well, yesterday was just too darn long and HOT!!! Went to my DH's work picnic down in Fort DeSoto beach. It was a beautiful beach and fun time there, the picnic was good and he had a good turnout! Got bitten up by mosquitos though! OUCH! Those darn things keep getting bigger!

Today I finally bit the bullet and joined back up at the gym. I hadn't stepped foot in there since March of 2005!! YIKES!! Time to start working out. Well, in my condition it's just keeping myself toned. Don't want to loose any weight, just maintain and stay healthy!! Only working on lower body and arms and staying away from the mid-section! ;) The girls did better than expected. I just wish we had a gym that had babysitter fees included in the gym price. Oh well...what can ya do.

Anyways, I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow! That's okay, part of staying healthy I guess.

Well, off to see about getting my mojo back. Got to work on my June Kit from AddictedScrappers.com and try and enter into their DT call. Wish me luck! :)

I'M BACK!!!

We're finally back from PA!! It was a nice visit and the girls had a blast meeting their cousins and aunties and uncle!! The weather was kind of wishy washy for a couple of days. We're Floridians and well, what did I pack? Shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. Well, it got down to 64 one day and it was windy and gloomy!!! So, off to the store I went w/ my sister trying to find them some jeans and a sweater of some sort. Luckily I found what I was looking for and the girls were all cozy.
Now we are just trying to recoop and get back to our normal schedule. Doing laundry for me! YEAH!! Not!
Okay, off to check my emails and my scrap boards that I love!!

Pennsylvania-bound

Well, my long awaited trip to Pennsylvania is coming sooner than expected. I'm looking forward to meeting up with my half-sisters and brother and their families. Haven't seen a lot of them since my wedding almost 8 years ago and others even longer than that. I'm a little nervous too. I have one half-sister that I've never really spoken too. She and my other sister's oldest kid are graduating from high school so we are having a little get together this Sunday. I hope all goes well. I don't really know what to say to my sister. I guess I'll have to play it by ear.

Anyways, my dad, myself and my 2 girls are driving straight there. EEK!! I've got snacks lines up as well as DVD's!! I wonder how many potty breaks there will be?! heehee

Well, I'll be back to post about our venture. I'm gonna miss being at home and seeing my hubby. He'll be a bachelor for a week. Lucky dawg!

My baby's growing!!

Boo-Hoo!! My oldest had her graduation yesterday from pre-K. They had a concert/graduation for all the kiddos that were at this school. Both of mine were in the concert but only one graduated. It was a little teary-eyed at times. I can't believe that she'll be in kindergarten in a couple of month!

Well, school is out tomorrow. The girls are ready and so am I. I can't wait for this weekend. I'm just ready to get outdoors and do some fun stuff with the girls...and of course scrap!!! Hopefully I'll have time to! ;)

What do dreams mean?

Recently I had a dream that made me wake up in fright and think...what the heck does that mean?!

Have you ever had a bogus dream that really didn't make sense? Did you ever wake up and remember the dream vividly? Did you jot the stuff down? Well, yes to all the above!!! I jotted down key things I remembered in my dream and then got on the computer. I did a search on dictionary of dreams and came up with--->I have many stresses in my life; I will have grief; I am successful on my goals; and I'm bombarded w/ tasks in life. What were the things in my dreams?

• tornadoes
• green barn
• falling horse
• traffic
• falling rocking chair
• falling car

Well...before the dream, I was working on 3 projects and I was trying to work on a submission for a DT call. Weird how dreams tell you about your life!!

I don't have that many projects left for the month, but they are there. I'm sure I'll whip up some weird dream next week when it gets down to crunch time. **See bottom of blog for some recent projects completed!**

Well, off to bed now!! Need to see what I can come up with!! Heehee!

Project after project

It seems like forever and a day since I've been on my blog! I've been preparing for a Cinco de Mayo party and before that my parents were over. Then after recooping from TEQUILLA (heehee) I've been working on some Mother's Day projects!! I'm done with those as of last night!!! I love crunch time. I seem to do my best work that way. I always have some scrap-related project going on. Call me crazy...it keeps me sane (or insane!)

Anywho, here are some photos of me and my gals and then some from the Cinco de Mayo party we threw. It was a blast and everyone had such a good time and had full bellies afterwards!! Everyone stayed the night and I can say that I'm glad they made it home the next morning without a headache!!
