Bad, bad blogger

I am such a bad blogger lately.

We have been so busy. Dad came home from the hospital on Wednesday and he is doing great! It is amazing how when your meds are off you are a different person. Tyler has had a cold all week. So he has not been sleeping well so that means we don't not sleep well. I have a sinus and ear infection and feel yucky.

I also joined the YMCA this week. My friend Erin and I are going to start going on Tuesdays and Thursday while her daughter Ellie is in school. The Y has a baby sitting room so that is where Ty will spend his time.

I am hoping I feel better tomorrow so I can take some time and play with Tyler outside.

I also have to get some cards out to ladies I meet at vendor event last weekend. I like to follow up with a note and then in a week or so a phone call. I am hoping to get some more bookings on the calendar before Thanksgiving. I am also working getting a travel store set up online so we can make a little extra money.

I am leaving you with some of my latest creations. They are for the Scrappin Survivor contest over at ilove2create.com.





Hope you are having a great weekend!

What a week so far

So I most of spent yesterday sitting in the ER with my dad. His meds were all out of whack. One of his levels was so high it was toxic. So he is going to spend the next few days in the hospital so they can get his levels back within the normal range.

Yesterday I had to get 2 layouts uploaded to ilove2create.com by 11:59pm. I am participating in a Scrappin Survivor challenge.

Here are my first two layouts:



Tomorrow I am heading to my cousins house for some family time and a trip to the mall in King of Prussia.

Friday I have to take Tyler down to his nana and pop pop's house for the weekend. It is going to be a fun ride down because it is NASCAR weekend here. So lots of busy traffic.

So in between all that running around I have to clean the house, go to work, cook and work on my next layout for the challenge. I may go to a crop on Friday.

Final 2 layouts

Here are the final 2 layout I created for the page a day challenege over at Scrapgal.







Thanks for looking!

Oh I have been busy

So on Friday Matt and I took a trip to Brooklyn, NY for my best friends engagement party. We got to get dress up and had a great time! Congrats again Dayna and EJ!

Saturday I had work until 4:30. After work I came home and cooked dinner and clean up the downstairs.

I worked again today and I still don't know what we are having for dinner. After we eat I am going to give the downstairs a quick once over and then I have to scrap my page for day.

Over at Scrapgal we have a page a day challenge going on and there are only 2 days left. I am hoping to complete the last two tonight. So I have all day tomorrow to get my scrap space in order.

I also have to work on my little presentation for my jewelry team meeting on Tuesday night.

I am going to leave you with the last few lo's I have completed for the PAD challenge.

Scrappin the day away

I have been one busy scrapper today.

I got two LO's done! Scrapgal.com is having a page a day challenge. I did today's and tomorrows. I am not sure how much time I will have tomorrow so I wanted to make sure I a LO done.

I am also on MOJO super high with new kit I got from ILove2Create.com . It is there 4th anniversary too. There is going to be so much going on that site this month! I hope I have enough time to get it all in!

SO here are my 2 new creations.

I can not believe it is September 1st already.

I just wanted to post a few LO's I did the other day.

One is of tyler doing a yoga like pose and the other is a close up if tyler.

Thanks for Looking!

Vacation

Matt and I just got back from vacation!

This has been a trip we have really needed. We have so much happen over the last year, we need us time.

We took a trip to a couple's only resort in the Pocono Mts.

We had a get 2 and half days together! We went for walks and talked without interruption from a toddler or from my dad.

We saw The Wrecker's while we were there and they were great!

But boy did I miss Tyler. We had not seen in almost a week. So when we got home Matt meet his parents half way and picked up our little man. I think he missed us! We sure missed him!

Now we are counting down the until our next trip the Pocono Mts. in October.

Here is a picture of Matt and I all dressed up for the concert.



Here is a picture of Joel and Kate. It was Kate's idea for the 2 day trip. She really wanted to see The Wrecker's.




Here is a picture of the four of us.

What we did on Tueday

On Tuesday Tyler and I drove in the pouring rain to visit my very best friend and Tyler's godmother Dayna. We had a great time sitting around and catching on our lives and watching Tyler play. It was well worth the long drive in the pouring rain.

I miss Dayna so much since we live so far apart. I remember not being able to go to the corner store without each other and now we live 2 hours away from each other. But we have the phone, email and text messaging to keep in touch.

Here is Dayna and Tyler.



I have also been on a creative strike. I have completed 3 lo's the last 3 days and made a tag for Carly's Birthday over at Scrapgal.com.

I am up to 45 LO's for the year. I am almost half way to my goal over 100.

These two LO's show Tyler's growth over his first year. She is growing so fast. I don't normally do 2 pager's but I have so many pictures that I had to do one. I am not 100% happy with but I love those pictures of Tyler!






This one is of Ty and my dad at Tyler's first birthday party. Dad loves to hug and kiss Ty.




This is the tag I made for Carly. I am not very good at tags but I think this one came out pretty good.



Thanks for Looking!

Flowers

I got flowers for my Birthday yesterday! Matt never buys me flowers. He calls them weeds, but yesterday he came home with a dozen red roses.

Here is a picture of them!

My mom

My mom passed away 4 years ago in Jan. Last night was the first time I have ever scrapped a page about her. I scrapped the last picture we took of her. It was taken at Christmas, her favorite holiday, she passed away a month later. I miss he so much some days but I know it was the biggest blessing the day she passed away. She has so many health problems and none of the problems were reversible. She had cancer and she was in renal failure. SO she is in a much better place.

SO here is my layout about my mom:






The journaling reads:
My mom passed away Jan. 2003. She had a lot of health problems. so we felt her passing was a blessing. But with that said I miss her so much. I missed her ar my wedding. I missed her the day Ty was born. I miss her every Christmas. It was her favorite holiday. I wonder what she would think of Matt? I wonder what she would think of her grandson? I miss her telling me what to do (never thought I would say that). I hope she is proud of me. I hope she is looking down and smiling at the grand baby she always wanted to have. I know one thing she is our angel above! I miss you Mom!

Happy Belated Birthday Mom!

Her birthday was August 5th. She would have been 59.

I Love 2 Create

I got my kit from Ilove2create.com on Friday and I could not wait to tear into it.

This kit had Rusty Pickle pattern paper, Twinkling H20 Radiant Rain (awesome), and a really cool doodle template.

So when I got back last night from dh and I's night away I broke out the kit and got creative! I did two 6 x 12 LO's. I have never scrapped that size. It was fun!

SO here are my creations:





This LO was created from this months sketch at ilove2create.



This LO is for Rachael's August Challenge.



This LO was to use the other half of the 6 x 12 cardstock and other scraps.


Our weekend was great! We had a great time at Matt's friends house. But I got no pictures. We got there to late and most people had take off there toga's.

We even got a jump on the Ty Christmas shopping. We are going to buy a one present a paycheck. I am hoping we will have Ty's shopping complete by the end of November.

I will try to update again tomorrow!

Happy first day of August!

I am so excited it is finally August! Matt and I have to trips planned this month for just the two of us! I am really looking forward to having so us time. Most days it is about everyone else around us. So it should be nice.

Our first little trip is an over night this weekend. We are going to a friend's house in Hershey, PA for a party and we are staying over in a hotel. The funny part is it is a toga party. Matt wants to dress up so look for pictures next week!

I hoping to finish a project tomorrow. I will post it then.

Have a great night!

WOW Last Day of July!

I am in shock that July is only a few hours away from being over.

I has a pretty productive scrapping month. I scrapped 10 LO's this month. I never scrap that much. I just don't have the time. But I have decided that I am going to make the time. I have a goal of 100 LO's this year. I would like to come close!

So here the latest 2 LO's I created today.




On Friday me and two of cousins had a Girl's Day Out.

We went to CKC Valley Forge. We spent a few hours at the convention. I bought all kinds of Senic Route and Basic Gray stuff.

After we left the convention we headed to the King of Prussia Mall for a little shopping. I got some new make-up at BE.

Then it was off to have dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Bahama Breeze. It was yummy!

We finished dinner in enough time to make our show of Harry Potter in IMax 3D. It was great!

It was a great day! We had so mcuh fun!

4 More

I created 4 more layouts last night! I am on a roll! I might make my goal of 100 for this year! I am hoping to get in like one or two more today.

So here they are:






Today I have my networking meeting this morning. Ty is going to go to my friends house which he loves because she has 2 girls around his age and they play so well together. Then I am off to get Ty's hair cut. I will post some before and after pictures. This evening I have a jewelry show! It is perfect timing because Friday I am going to CKC and I am going need so cash for new scrappy stuff!

That's t for us! Have a great day!

No sleep til....

Tyler's ear infection goes away. We have had 2 slept less nights the last two nights. So I am hoping the meds will kick in soome and help my little guys feel better. He will get 2 dose in today so he should be feeling better by tonight.

Tomorrow Ty goes for a hair cut and boy does he need one. His hair is so long around his ears.

This afternoon we are going on the quest for a new cordless phone. We have been without one for over a month and it is drivng me nuts. It is very hard to run into the kitchen every time (and it is a lot) the phone rings. Ty goes nuts at the gate and I can't see everything he is going in the living room and he is at the age were he can't be trusted alone.

I think we will run out to Joann's too. Matt needs fabric for his toga. Yes, Matt needs a toga for a party we are going to next weekend. I told Matt I am not wearing one. We are to old to "dress up" for a party. Don't worry picture's will be taken!

Speaking of pictures here are a few of Ty in his new tropical shirt I picked up for him at the consignment shop.

My creations for this past weekend

I went to a crop on Friday. I created two 8 1/2 x 11 and one 12 x 12, I also created a LO last night. I am hoping to crank out one or two more today!








Thanks for looking!

Where have I been?

Well the answer is all over the place.

On Tuesday morning my dad have a seizure. So I took him to the ER and at 4pm they told me they were going to admit him. So he stayed in the Hospital until Friday. Now he is home and seems to be doing well.

So after I left the hospital on Tuesday we headed down to the beach to have a big family BBQ at Matt's mom and dad's. There were 7 kids 9 and under. Matt's aunt was there with all her family and there families. So Ty got to meet some of his other cousin's. We had a great time and of course it is not a party without a toddler running around in a diaper and of course it was my child.




I also got a few cute picture's to scrap of the kid's playing together and we took a big family picture and of the the 3 I have Tyler is not looking anywhere near the camera. That's my boy!

Then on Wednesday my brother came up to watch Ty while I went to a meeting and then when Matt came home from work we went on a date. We had dinner and had coffee at Border's. When we got home Ty had cut his toe and walked all over the living room so we cleaned his toe and the living room floor.

Thursday Ty and I went to play at play date.

Friday I picked up dad and then headed to a crop. Were I created one 8 1/2 x 11, one 11x 8 1/2 and one 12x12. This was the first time I worked with any other size then 12 x 12. I will post my creations later.

I worked yesterday. Last night Ty got sick at 1130 and had a fever. He is doing a little better today, but now I think I have a touch of something. I left work at 10am and napped until 1:30. I am still feeling sick and haven't really eaten anything, but I am so hungry.

I think tonight after dinner I am going to do a little painting in the dinning room and maybe so scrapping.

I hope I feel better tomorrow I have a big week this week. I have a jewelry show Wednesday and Friday I am have a Girls day out with my cousins. We are heading to King of Prussia for the Creating Keepsakes convention, some mall shopping, Harry Pottery at the IMax theater and dinner at one of favorite restaurants!

Tyler and Grandpa

Last night I put Tyler in grandpa's lap and they just looked so cute!

I could not get my dad to look up at the camera, but they are still cute!




I think these picture's really show how those two have such a connection. My father gets the biggest smile when he see's Tyler. He also thinks Tyler does no wrong.

This is what helps make the world go round

I get the honor of work in one of the most beautiful places. Yesterday after I finished up for the day I hung around and took a few pictures of butterflies that we feeding in the backyard habit that we have behind the office at the park.




I love how these pictures came out! I am really learning how to use the different modes on my Canon Rebel DSLR.

Tyler and His Sippy

Tyler loves his sippy cup! So of course being the scrapper I am I got a few pictures of Ty yesterday with his favorite sippy cup. Here are few pictures of him showing off his sippy.
