Here is my latest layout for the Survivor Challenges over at Tallyscrapper......LOVE these challenges, they make me really think outside of the box......I also did this for a challenge over at Treasured, as well.....to make your own felt embellishments....I made the pink heart and then stitched it!!!

Today is an AWESOME Day!!!!!

Holy Batman.....I made the Design Team over at Treasured Scrapbooking!!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance off the walls right now.....I was one of five NEW girls to get the Design Team spots and can't wait to work with this AWESOME team!!! I will officially begin with their team in December and am just so overjoyed to be working with some of their awesome kits.

On other news.....just finished my layout for the GutterGirlz Challenge. This week's prompt was Alcohol and the song was "All Jacked Up" by Gretchen Wilson. And let me just say, these are some OLD photos of Bill and I in our party days(heehee)!!!
Here's another layout I did of Brian and I.....I was trying to get a good photo of the two of us, but of course, he's being his normal self......dorky!!!!!

This past Saturday, both kids started playing Basketball again.....this is the first year for Kaleb, so he had to go through the draft and was the only one to make a lay-up....Woohoo Dude!!!! Danielle is also playing again this year, but she's on another team and is so excited because alot of her friends are on her team and she has got ONE awesome & tough coach....heehee, they practiced for 21/2 hrs. on Saturday....I love it!!!! She's not able to play sports in school until 7th grade, so she's still playing county. Of course, both kids needed new basketball shoes and Kaleb has been dying to have a pair of skateboard shoes, I will have to get some pics of them....they are so ugly....LOL!!! Kids nowa' days, I swear!!!!!!!

Block Party 2008

We have talked about having a Cul-de-sac Barbeque since moving in here, which was back of July 2007....but alot of homes were still empty and well finally this summer...we have a FULL cul-de-sac......so the party was on!! We had a great turn-out and even met some of the newer neighbors and basically ate, drank too much(heehee, thanks eddie for the awesome drinks), kids/adults played in the jumper, sat by the bonfire and drank some more.....Blast of a time!!!!! Also, had some husbands/friends return from over in Afghanistan and Iraq and some that are leaving in a few months, as well...God Bless!!!! So this was a great way to welcome home those guys and send off the others in style.






I can't wait for the next party!!!!

It's ALL about the Candy!!!

So Halloween is finally over....thank goodness, because I'm pooped out!!!! Bill was out of town, so he didn't get the joy of taking the kids out trick or treating this year!!!! Of course, the kids NEVER think they have gotten enough candy....Whatever!!!

Danielle was a Punk-rocker this year and can I just say....she brought her "Attitude" with her last night.....of course, a couple of her friends came with us, so they were all just TOO COOL!!!And Kaleb has "Darth Vader" from Star Wars.....he was dying to have the lightsaver and didn't even take it with him last night!!!!

It was a great night....all the kids had a GREAT time!!!! We came across the cutest Great Dane while out trick or treating....isn't she just adorable, so of course I had to get her picture.....next year, we are dressing up Annie, heehee!!!!!

Trying out for "Treasured Scrapbooking" Design Team

Well, I threw my hat into the ring over at "Treasured Scrapbooking" and applied for the Design Team.....its a great online community and the girls are absolutely wonderful!!!! I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for this one....I would absolutely love to work with their kits and think this would be so much fun....so WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

We had to submit some of our work that best describes our style, 4 layouts, 1 card and 1 altered item.....here are just a few that I sent in for their design team call!!!
