Long Time, No Bloggin'!

Wow!! I just realized how long it has actually been since I've posted on here!!

Well let's see....

We are working on moving back to Springtown(ICK!), since we have a house there and the owner of the company my parents are currently working for is going to sell it. We've known this for a while now, but I still wasn't prepared! :P We've been busy packing up stuff, getting rid of junk we don't need that has just been sitting around collecting dust, and getting everything ready to go. We still have quite a few things to do, but we're getting there. Last weekend we went and cleaned out the house and it wasn't as bad as we expected. This weekend we are planning going back up there to work on a few more things!! Yippeee! Oh yea, Tax Free Weekend this weekend, gonna go clothes shopping with my mom on Sunday, maybe. Only good thing about the original plan going bad is that we don't have to wear uniforms at this new school. Plus, this new school is a better one than the one we went to last year, may actually be a challenge instead of me getting my work done in the first 20 minutes of class and having nothing else to do!! I will miss some of the teachers that I had and a few of my friends, and a few other places here in Austin, like our fave scrapbooking store, but other than that BUH-BYE Austin!!

I get so sidetracked, I had some other things to say, but I just can't think of them!!!

Gonna hold off on the challenges as you can see I didn't post one last week, or the week before, will probably wait until everything has settled down and we are back in school and done moving!

I was able to get a few cards accomplished today after looking at a magazine and seeing them!! Have you ever done Double Pocket-Folding Cards? OMGosh they are so easy and fun to make once you figure them out!!

Ok here they are:

Well stop back in later and I will post the directions for the Double Pocket-Fold Cards!!

My First Blog Award(s)

Morning!!

Like I said in my last post I rec'd two blog awards form my mom and Nicky!!


I just recently met Nicky after visiting a Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers and joining a group on there!!

Of course I've known my mom all me life! :P And I just love scrapping with her!!

Ok, here it goes!!



So, time for me to PIF (pay it forward) the blog award. The rules are as follows:

1. Only 5 people allowed.
2. 4 have to be dedicated followers of your blog
3. one has to be someone new or recently new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. you must link back to whoever gave you the award.

This is going to be difficult for me to narrow it down to just 5 people but I will do my best. If I didn't choose you please don't be offended, I visit lots of blogs and enjoy looking at everyones work!!

My choices, in no particular order are:

1. Karen B (aka my mom)- Of course I had to choose her! I fought her for the longest time about scrapping, I never wanted to do it and would always mess with her about it. Finally one day I just gave in and I'd have to say that is one of the best choices I have made in a long time!! I enjoy our time together, we don't always have to be scrapping, it can be shopping or just spending time with each other. We have a blast when we start scrapping together and things usually get messy!! I love you so much mama!!!

2. Ruby - I met Ruby through the Adornit Teen Chix contest that was held a few months ago. After seeing her work she created with the free product I basically started stalking her blog! :P I just love Ruby's work, and the fact that she is another young scrapper is awesome!! Her work totally inspires me and she has so many great ideas!!!

3. Greta - I met Greta on JS and I fell in love with her!!! She is so beautiful and she amazes me!! Her work is awesome!! She's so free-spirited and ventures out and tries different things all the time!!!

4. Amy - I just love Amy!! I met her a while back on a different set of forums I am no longer a part of, and I think she is just too cute!! Her work is always beautiful and so inspiring!!!

5. Mare - I also met Mare on SBS and she has commented quite a few times on my blog about how she loves my work!! She is just so sweet!! Her work is beautiful as well and she also inspires me!!! I'm looking forward to getting to know her more and see more of her work in the future!!!

Well that sums that up for a bit, was very hard choosing only 5 people, but I did it!! Dunno if I will be back with more today or not, it's the 1st which is our busy time of the month... although it is actually not very busy today!!

Hugs!!
