Got Tagged

So it looks like I got tagged too. HeeHee thanks a lot Vee and Bethany. LOL
I can assure everyone mine will be the most boring. Ha!

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to blog about their seven things and post the rules as well . At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. I can't stop buying glass jars. HeeHee How random was that? Seriously though I think I'm collecting them now. They're everywhere. I LOVE them!

2. I get my nails done ever two weeks and pedi every three. I love getting my nails done because mine just won't grow. And it makes me feel soooo girly. :)

3. I have a BAD habit of licking my lips too much. So I ALWAYS carry chap-stick.

4. I am so NOT a morning person. Although I do have to wake up and get Timmy ready for school and often take him, I despise mornings.

5. I LOVE steak. Not just any steak either it has to be t-bone or New York. When I was a child I would eat mine and then swallow any that others would leave. To this day I can scarf a 24 oz!!! Love me some good ol' steak baby! Mmmmmmm

6. When I was 3 years young I almost died from drinking a parasite in the bad city water where we use to live. I lost all my color and was down to skin and bones (literally). My parents firmly believe in praying for miracles and by the grace of God I am here today. :)

7. I have a bad habit of buying clothes in small sizes for the sole purpose of losing weight. I now have two full huge plastic containers under my bed just waiting for that special day. LMBO

And 7 people to tag?
I will say:
Adrienne
Amber
Vee
Zahra
Tammy Kay
Josh
Laurie

And if you've already done it well then do it again! LOL No just kidding. I honestly don't know very many other bloggers so yeah. HaHaHa

Okay then now that that's out of the way I've got some blogging to do!
Yeah right. Heh.

So remember long time ago I posted that "Punk Rawk" picture and said I was working on something? Well I finally decided to take pictures of it. And not very good ones either. LOL But I am here today to share it with you! I made a mini album outta coasters I jacked from Chili's. Yay me!!! LMBO

Jacked Chili's Coasters LOL

I also made this altered pencil box. I stole the idea from Rita Weiss. And omgsoh if you haven't seen her stuff before RUN and check out her blog! She is AMAZING!! I adore her style. Her little box is WAY cuter than mine, but when I seen it I was sure I had to have my own. And now here it sits on my desk making me smile very time I see it! Thanks Rita for the inspo! I love it!

Alright I am off to fold laundry. Fun. Fun. NOT!
I hope everyone had a little bit of chocolate today. :)
Smooches I'm out!

**Scrapbooked...

Ahhhhh I love the feeling of getting more than one layout done in a day.

Yesterday I scrapbooked. I decided to try new things. I wanted to do more than one page so I told myself I would do simple pages. I also tried new color schemes that aren't my usual choices.


When I was done I sat back and just looked at them. I love them. I am happy to see that I can do more than just the bright and bulky pages. And this was good because I have so many fotos laying around waiting to be place on a page. LOL

This is the first time I have ever done that many pages in one day! I am so psyched! I'm ready to pump out some more! HaHaHa
And hello they are all for my album. Yay!!! :)

Well I hope everyone has started their week out great.
Love ya all laters!!!

Now I'm gonna go scrapbook! YAY!!!!

Peace&Love

Shameful..

How neglected my blog has been lately! I really need to stop lagging. I will. :)



Okay so my little trip to the aquarium was bogus! There were more people than Disneyland!!!! I swear I don't think it's legal to have that many people all cooped up in on small aquarium. Ugh! I was pretty bummed about it too. I didn't get to mess with my camera or take pictures! All I could do was worry about keeping Timmy's hand so he wouldn't get trampled. And I was impressed by rudeness of many many people. Stepping on my feet, walking in front of me, cutting in lines, pushing, and then there was this one guy who totally shoved himself right directly in front of us while we were looking in a tank. Grrrrrrrrr. I felt like I was in elementary school again. So yeah me no happy camper that day.


I did make it to the beach, but only for about an hour. It was gorgeous, but it was windy and cold. Brrrrrr We didn't even take the tri-peezey or the lens down. :( So I'll share the ONE picture that I liked. And yeah... NO. We didn't take group pix. :( I am so going back to the beach next month! LOL I wanna go for a whole week and just sit out there every day all day!

self-portrait~















Okay enough of the exclamation marks already. Geeze.

So besides the lame trip we have been really enjoying some great weather here in Central Cali. Been rollerblading every morning and taking Timmy to the park and just loving the sun and cool breeze. Gotta go get a kite today. It is SO kite weather right now. Mmmmmmm



Now then scrappy stuff... Lets see. Not much scrap been going on lately. You know when you get in that mood... That one where you feel like your work is never gonna go anywhere? You know that little feeling that sidetracks you from doing what you love for all the wrong reasons? Yeah well that little bug caught me recently. I know that I scrapbook because I freaking LOVE it, but I wish somebody else would love it too... You know like a manufacturer or a Magazine. LOL It just bums me out sometimes and kills my mojo. I know that's totally wrong, but it does. So this week I am trying to come out of that. Amber did a foto swap with me and her pic.s sparked my mojo. I loved scrapping her cute face. Infact I loved it so much I did two pages. LOL Lucky Amber. ;)




























Anyways I know this post sucks, but yeah I least I blogged and now you know what's going on in Mara-land. NOTHING. lol Oh and btw it's Mare-uhhh. Just thought you should know so you aren't walking around saying Mara-May the wrong way. Cause you know you walk around all day saying my name. Pssshaaaaaaaw. Teeheehee.



Okay better blogging later, just wanted the bloggin fairies to know I am alive.



P.S. Some people owe me some pictures.... Ahem... TammyKay and Miss Vee!!!
xoxoxoxo

I'm Here....

I have been sucha naughty blogger lately. :( Ugh. I hate not keeping my blog updated. :P


I have been busy with the holiday and all. I took lots of Easter fotos and have lots of editing to do! LOL I have so many fotos to look at and just share and all that good stuff. BUT. It takes time. AND. I don't have any to spare right now. :( LOL


Anyways... My anniversary was on the 9Th!!! YAY!!! Tim and I have been married for 7 short years. I don't know where all that time has gone. I do know we are happy and there couldn't be a better couple. LOL ;) We spent the whole day together. We even went to the park and did a foto shoot. I used the tripod and well even though we took like 100 pix only a few came out good. Blah. HaHaHa all that maters is we had a good time. It was so nice to just be with him. I cherish these times. I LOVE him sooo much and he is sooo good to me. I am honestly so lucky to have him. And I thank God for keeping us together and giving me sucha wonderful self-less man. I love you baby!!! Muuuaaaahhhhh.


Okay okay enough mushy mushy stuff here are a couple of the pictures. Just one of us and one of him in two separate versions. Don't mind me lookin' all chubby I dunno what's up with that. LMBO

Now for my latest scrapings... It hasn't been much, but I did get my Tickled Pink Kit the other day and had to play. So here are a few...

From my Kit












Did a contest at Scrapbook Goddess and totally won a $15 GC. YAY!!!















Made a card outta the scraps.
















So I have to do a shout out to muh girl Adrienne Looman for making the ScrapInStyleTV DT!!! I am soooo happy for her. Totally deserved and so knew she would get it! I know this is a little late, but totally had to give her props for it! You rock Sista!!! LOL Loves ya mucho!!!!

Alright now then... I am headed out to Monterey Bay tomorrow. We are taking Timmy to the aquarium there and plan to spend a day on the beach. So I must get to packing. I hope to take a lot of amazing fotos and learn some new techniques with my cam. I will be taking full advantage of this time at the beach as we NEVER go. Yup tripod and all. LOL

I will have lots to share so be back soon.

P.S. Amber I can't wait to play with your pix. You are sucha a freaking hottie! Whoohoo. LOL

xoxoxoxo

Hi-eeeeee

Well I'm back.

Actually I've been back since Friday night. :) HeeHee

I've been relaxing here the last few day. After we got back there was all the cleaning to do as far as putting everything away and washing all of our clothes and just putting all the other crap away. So that had me tired. LOL

Anyways Palm Springs was as beautiful as ever. We had a wonderful stay. Brought back so many memories. I lived there from 1999-2001. We loved it! I got married there and had Timmy there. :) I kinda miss it now just being there those few days. Tim is always saying we should move back, but then I remember that summer it got to 123 Fahrenheit. NO THANK YOU! Visiting will do just fine. LOL

Alright now down to the fun stuff...

PICTURES!!!!!! And the crowd goes wild. LOL Just kidding. Okay so here they are.... This is gonna take a while. Enjoy...

This was on our drive to Universal.

For Tammy Kay. The RAK of goodness.














Isn't this so RAD!!! I thought it was so inspiring.













This is all I get now when I want to take pictures of Timmy. Even on Vaca.

He got his face painted like Wolverine. Coolness. :)













Look a little closer... These are BOY babies. LMBO













Palm Trees and Shopping that's what you do in Palm Springs. HeeHee

I've been into the whole felt craze too lately. Made this for my IPod Tim bought me for my birthday. :) Cute huh? Gonna make more too. YAY.

Made this for Tammy Kay and am in the process of making a double one to hang on the mirror in my car. Like dice, you know?

And of course a little monster. :)




















Well that's all for now peeps. Gotta get to my moms fer some dinner. Mmmm BBQ. I love my mom's food.


Love ya all laters!!!
