She's A Star!!

Remember I told you guys that we always try to make my sister's birthday special? Well this year was her 30th birthday...shhh...don't tell!! We decided to make the theme Hollywood Star. So we got these great metallic decorations that hang down from the ceiling. There were stars, camera and movie reels. Then we put down a red carpet and we all wore some fun hats. My girls were the MC's for the night and they wore the glittery top hats and beads to match, the rest of us wore these black gangster looking hats. When Teri walked in the girls greeted her with a speech about how she was a star and we did interviews with her on her way down the red carpet! We had dinner and birthday cake and ended the evening with Wii Bowling! She loved it and I think it was a special birthday!

Time for Tea

Well here we are on Monday again, however I am thankful that the day went quick. Don't you love it when that happens? We are watching the Bachelor tonight. I admit have have a small sickness...I love the shows the Bachelor & American Idol...which is on tomorrow night. So as Mike puts it...it's a couch potato week!

I have some great news. Mike had a check up with the heart doctor today and he said that his heart looks pretty much 100% now and that as long as everything keeps on this track that he doesn't see why he can't stop the Coumidon in April!!!!! This is such great news! Thank you for all of your prayers!

So on to this layout. These photos are from a day that my mom and I took the girls to the tea room for lunch one Saturday afternoon. We had such a good time and the girls loved trying on different hats! The title was cut from the Jasmine Cricut cartridge and the fun little heart flower was cut from A Walk In My Garden cartridge. The rub ons were all from Stampin Up. I am not sure what line the paper is from I have had it for so long I can't remember. See...using up the old stuff...feels so good to do that!

Well thanks for peeking in. Hope you have a great Tuesday and that it breezes right on by!

Happy Birthday

Still working on 2006. Here is a layout dedicated to my sister's birthday. She has a birthday right after Christmas. When she was a kid my mom was always afraid she would feel like she was getting jipped because we had just had Christmas and so we always tried to make an extra special day of it.

I have seen in a lot of magazines and even some of the pages you all have done that you journal in strips so I thought I would try that on this layout. I wasn't sure how I would like it but it looks pretty good.
Well, I have been a slacker today and haven't gotten dinner ready yet so I better get to it!
Hope you have a wonderful week!

Sisterly Love

Hi friends! Hope you are having a great weekend. You know I didn't do a darn thing today and it just felt so good. I feel a little bit lazy but we all gotta do that every once in a while don't we? Most of the day I spent looking at different scrapbook web sites trying to find a good place to purchase my scrappin' goodies. I found this great one called Croppin Paradise and another one called Scrapbook Express I have a cart saved at Scrapbook Express with the newest Bobunny line so maybe soon I will get some fun from the mailman.

I have also been working on Valentine cards. Since I didn't get Christmas cards out this year I am going to send out Valentines. Sounds fun doesn't it? Yeah probably if I weren't so picky about what the card looked like. I visited several sites...Shutterfly, Photoworks and even some of the local places like Picture Perfect, Walgreens and Sams then I finally found one that I loved...Polka Dot Design and they have the cutest backgrounds for Valentines. So now all I have to do is pick what I want. Who would'a knew Valentines were so tough to do?

Well anyway on to this fun little layout. One of the best things about having friends that scrapbook is that sometimes you inherit some cool stuff. Like this layout for instance. Nikki was cleaning her scrapbook room and came across this page kit that a friend of hers (Teri Manny) had made for a crop a few years back. Nikki doesn't have any girls to scrap for as there are all boys in her family so she thought I could use it (thanks girlie). These photos are of our little chicks on spring break 2006...I caught them scrapbooking together. There was a page full of different quotes so I cut a few out and placed them around the page. One of my favorites has to be "Never let an agry sister comb your hair" LOL! If you have a sister you know that one is true!
Thanks for peekin' in! I just love to hear from you!

I can bring home the bacon...

My co-worker and I have the best time at work sometimes. We laugh a lot...they say it is healthy to laugh and where better than at work when you can sometimes be stressed out right? Well I am not sure exactly how it came up but something reminded me of that old commercial from the early 80's for Enjoli perfume. I just started cracking up and I thought this might take some of you back and maybe give you a little giggle too! Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of my blog and press pause on my music so you can enjoy the commercial!

Giving Thanks

Hi friends. How ya be today? I have to say was pretty spoiled with all those holidays the past few weeks! Someone stopped by my office this morning and asked how we were all doing this Monday morning and one of my coworkers said "Well...it's a 5 day work week and its Monday"! Ain't it just the truth? I tell ya!

Here is a page layout that I finished up this weekend...Thanksgiving 2007 at my folks house. I just love the close up of Mike and I because he has this look on his face like he loves me...*big sigh* sure do love that guy! I used the Cricut Tear Drop cartridge for the title and the patterned paper is by Daisy D's. Unfortunately Daisy D's has gone out of business...too bad because I really liked their stuff!

Have you all made your New Year's resolutions? I make the same one every year...exercise more! Hopefully I will be able to do it though because we got a treadmill for Christmas. So far I have been on it every day except for 3 since we got it on the 27th. Not too bad huh? Now let's just see if I can keep it up. I mainly got it because Mike needs to exercise every day.

Dr Pepper Boys

Hi friends! How is the new year treatin' ya? I had to work today. It was so weird, seemed like a Monday but I am glad it wasn't! Here are a couple of pages that I finished the other day. This is my hubby with our Godson a few years ago. Mike loves Dr Pepper and apparently our little dude does too! Ain't they cute? The title was cut out using the Cricut cartridge Alphalicious. That has to be one of my favorites. Well hope you have a good weekend! We are just cleaning up Christmas decorations and trying to get organized. Take care!
