Just a Little F.Y.I.

You memeber how long time ago I said we were moving? Well...... We never did. LMBO. I saw a few people say something about moving and well I thought I had mentioned it in another post, but I must not have. So yeah... We're still in the same place peeps. Sorry for any confusion. Heh. Boy would I like a house though. :) And that is all. Hee Hee I'll post again later.

Where The Heck Is Everyone?!!!!

Ha! Ha! Ha! I know where I've been, but where have you been? LMBO Well I have been SO busy and am SO tired!!! We took our little vacation trip. First we stopped in Bakersfield and had a great time at my brother Anthony's. He was actually funny for once. Heh. Way to go Anthony! He showed us this book about personality traits. It's so cool. I gotta get the name from his so we can buy and and so I can share on here. It's a trip! From Bakersfield we headed to Burbank for a quick stop at the IKEA store! It was AWESOME!!!! I LOVE it! I can't wait to go back. They have such cool stuff and for dirt cheap too! Wow. Yeah I really really love it! Then from there we finally made it to Anaheim. We got to our hotel and relaxed! Ahhhhhh. We woke up early the next day and walked to Disneyland! We got there around 9:00am and stayed until the park closed at 11:00pm! It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! The shows were so amazing. We got to see the Parade of Dreams, then we got to see the firework show, and last we saw Fantasmic. Holy Moly they were all soooo amazing!!!! You see it on t.v. and think oh wow that looks amazing, but you have no clue unless you've really really seen it! It was the BEST! It was so good we're going back in a week. LOL We're nuts! LOL This time I am taking my cam to get some good, really good pic.s! P.S. Timmy said it was the best day of his life. hee hee hee Okay so I have been scrapping nuttso for like the last few days. Doin' it all for these contests. I am entering Memory Makers Masters, K.I. Memories Color Theory and the Scenic Route D.T. Call. Yikes! And they are all due like between now and two weeks. Geez-ussss-aahhhhh, help me lord! Heh. Okay so besides all that fun can you believe my tiny Timmy is going to be the big number 6? OMGOSH!!!! What the heck? When did he get so big? Well I dunno, but I do know he is one character. And since he is almost 6 it was time for the yearly photo shoot. I decided to mix it up a bit and have fun. So here you guys go. And yes of course I went a little over board with color. Hee Hee Hee I can't help myself. LOVE THIS ONE This is what happens when you have a silly mom taking pictures. ;) HE IS SO CUTE He wasn't mad... This is his "cool" face. MY FAVE Thanks for stopping by. Love ya all later!!!! Smooches ETA: I almost forgot to tell you guys.... He picked out his own clothes that day! Too cute, hey?

Way Cool...

Guess what arrive at my door step today? Whoohoo!! My Scrapbook Trends! I swear they read my blog yesterday and shipped it over-night. LMBO Don't I wish. ;) Anyways you can find me under "Favorite Techniques" on page 84 (layout of Timmy titled- "Funny") and under Readers page 105 (layout of Chloe titled- "It's All About Summer Style") Okay well I just wanted to share!!! Here are some pic.s of the mag. and my earnings...

Banner Bummed

I can't figure out what kind of banner I want. I liked the one with pic.s, but it looked a little jacked, sooooo I tried making a different one and well that one didn't work at all! :( So I just went simple! LOL It'll do for now though. As for scrapbooking I really need to get my butt busy with that K.I. Album. I was thinking about starting a page in a few. We'll see. About that though, there's only one problem.... You guys don't get to see my pages. I know that sucks, but that's just how it is people. LOL So it looks like I won't be posting any pages for quite a while. I wish we could post them so we could get critique you know? Can you believe I haven't had the urge to buy scrapbooking stuff? I know, CRAZY, right? Well it's true. I am like; dare I say it... Burnt out on shopping for scrapbooking supplies. Am I losing it or what people? I haven't really even felt like scrapbooking, period. I hate that. I need to get into a groove! I have had lots of free time this week too and nothing. I need your vibes my fellow scrapbookers! And has anyone seen my pages in the current issue of Scrapbook Trends (July Issue)? They haven't sent me my copies yet. :( Fooey on them! I was thinking about having Tim pick me up a copy in P-ville (that's the only place they sell it around here) since he's working over there today. Hmmmmmmmmm Anyways let me know if you've seen it k? I can't wait! So some of you may be wondering about the told about lamp shade. Well unfortunately it didn't work out. I can't figure out what type of adhesive to use to make it stick to the lamp shade. Total bummer too! It was gonna be soooo cute. Instead I started working on something else. I'm almost done with them too and then for sure for sure I will post a picture. Today is Danny's Birthday so I wanna make a shout out to her.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY D!!!! I hope you're having an awesome day and get to spend it with the ones you love the most! 19 big ones hey?!! You wild beast! Love ya girl! Miss you so much. Take care, okay? Smooches

Just Another Day

Hey guys! Long time no post, huh? Sorry about all the blog neglect. Summer has me like a chicken with it's head cut off. Swimming lessons are finally over and while Timmy didn't exactly learn completely how to swim, he's not afraid of the large mass of water. He wears floaties and swims all over the pool. I think the next step is confidence. He'll do it when he's ready and I won't push him. Now we're ready for rollerblading! We go rollerblade shopping tomorrow! Yay! I can't wait. It's been years since I've rollerbladed. And boy how I've missed it! Maybe this will help me shed those few extra pounds I've picked up in the last few months. Ha Ha Ha Not much to tell about today. I really really need to start my K.I. album! Gosh. Right now I am making a lamp for a birthday. Well I'm not making a lamp, I am just altering the lamp shade. It's gonna be so cute though. I'll post a picture when I am done. Timmy's birthday is on the 27th. He finally decided that he wants to go to Disneyland instead of a birthday party. So we plan to go next week and make it a road trip to stop and see some family and maybe head over to Sulvang (sp?). Hoping to get some good photos too! Wish me luck peeps! And as of lately here are some more photos to share. This sister was soooooo hard to photograph. She just could not get comfortable in front of the camera. And she would NOT smile for anything (too worried about her teeth)! Ahhh the life of the average 13 year old (only this one look 17). LOL Take note: the last picture I do not like (something about the crop or the wood in the bg), but had to post because of her AMAZING eyes! Thanks for stopping bye. Until next time... Enjoy life. A Girl and Her Dog My Fave My 2nd Fave A Girl and Her Photographer :) Blue Blue Eyes ETA: In my last post I seemed to have forgotten a few people that were on my mind a lot lately. So I will post them here... I miss Rhena! Where you been girl? I miss Marina! Sweetness you know I think of you everyday! I miss Pam! I really need e-mail her and give her my blog addy. Love you girls lots and lots! {{{{{HUGE HUGS}}}}}

Just Wanted To Post...

Happy Birthday America!!!!

O beautiful for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!America! America!God shed His grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea!

========================

O beautiful for pilgrim feetWhose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wilderness.America! America!God mend thine ev'ry flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,Thy liberty in law.

==================

O beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strife,Who more than self their country loved,And mercy more than life.America! America!May God thy gold refineTill all success be nobleness,And ev'ry gain divine.

======================

O beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabster cities gleamUndimmed by human tears.America! America!God shed his grace on thee,And crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining sea.

Hope everyone has an AWESOME 4th of July!!!

Blog For A Minute?

Hey Guys! Hope everyone is having a rockin' Saturday!!! And for some of you Happy Canada Day!!!!! I can't believe 4th of July is right around the corner! YIKES! I don't even have our shirts yet. Ha Ha Ha We are probably going to buy firecrackers today. And I think we will be spending it with some family in Bakersfield. Whoo-hoo! I will be taking my camera too. So no worries. :) I have had 3 photo shoots this week. I posted some pictures already and I will post some more from one I did yesterday. And when I edit the other I will be sure to post some from then too. Hope you guys don't mind all the pictures. And if there's anyone out there with suggestions or critique please feel free to leave it in a comment or e-mail. I have been asked to do two wedding this summer. But uhhhhhhh geeze I don't really think I am that good yet. I'm skered really. Weddings are sooo important and I feel the pictures should be perfection. And if I do accept the jobs I will be getting a lens! Heh. So yeah not sure on that junk yet. Guess we'll see. I don't have too much time really to think about it so I'll let you guys know what happens. I can't believe how busy busy summer has been. To start Timmy has hated every swimming lesson so far. :( He only has 5 more classes left and I am worried that he will not learn how to swim this year. Then my s-I-l has been staying with us. Probably for the whole summer. My Grandma is going to be coming down to stay for a while too. And right now some cousins are here for the whole weekend. Whew. Talk about stressed out. Nobody is a bother. It's actually fun to have company once in a while. But it's a lot different than what I am used to. I am used to being alone. LOL So I just need to adjust. I'm almost there. Hee Hee I am worried I may not get around to starting the K.I. Memories album for the Design Team Call. I need to get busy with that. Just need a day to regroup really. Everything has me so scatter brained lately. Well this was short and sweet and now it's time for pictures. Just be glad I blogged okay?! *sticks tongue out This girl was quite uncomfortable with having her picture taken at first, but warmed up quickly. She's so beautiful! And I absolutely adored photographing her. I can't wait to do her senior pictures next year! We already have an appt. :) Enjoy...... Tiffany (17 years young) Thanks for stopping in again. Peace&Love.
