My Crazy Awful Beautiful Life

I've Been Tagged!

How is everyone? I'm great, my BFF is over for the weekend, we've been having a blast! We've been singing(I'm not so great, but she is actually really good), talking about tails (we both think that having a tail would be awesome, don't ask why :)), being goofy and are planning to try some scrapping either tonight or tomorrow before her mama picks her up. We don't get the chance to see each other much as she lives in another town a few hours away, so when we get to see each other we really enjoy it! I've made a few cards and I really need to get the posted, I'll see about doing that later on, but for now I've been tagged by Angie!

Here are the steps:

1. Say one nice thing to the man in your life:

Ok well since I don't have a boyfriend ( or a husband :P) I will say something about my daddy. Ever since he has been in my life he has treated me as if I was his own, and I truly feel that I am HIS. I really apprieciate every thing he has done for me and everything he still does. I'm so glad my mom found this wonderful man that can take care of us both. I really am not sure what I would do with out him. I love you so much DADDY!

2. List at least 6 ways you measure success in your life:
I am happy just the way I am, my mom and dad are able to be my best friends as well as my parents, I try my hardest at everything I do, I have a wonderful friends that I love and cherish, I enjoy spending time with my family, even though most teens my age can't stand being around them, My mom and I are able to scrap together and do many other things together.

3. Assign 6 other blogs this award:

New Years Crop at JS!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! We had a crop at Just Scrappin' and it was so much fun!! My mom and I cleared off the kitchen table and got our scrap on!! We finally finished up all of the challenges last night and then headed to bed... well my mom did anyways, I stayed up and watched Twilight on my MP3 player!! The crop was so much fun and I look forward to doing more in 2009!

Now on to the pics!!

"Santa Paws" was for Aymee's Sketch challenge, that sketch was so much fun I ended up using it twice!

"Birds of a Feather Hoot Together" was for Sandy's Spelling challenge. She gave us the word "FRIENDS" and using products that spell out the word.
I used:

R- Ribbon - Behind the stamped image
I- Ink - The Stamped Image
E- Elegant Edges- Sounded better than Eyelets to me!!
N - Nine Gems - Hopefully this counts.. This one stumped me!!

I still haven't come up with a name for this LO... If anyone has an idea just lemme know, it's an old pic of my grandma when she was younger. I did this LO for Zig's Out w/ the Old and In w/ the New Challenge, you had to use something that was really old from your stash and something that was newer, I chose to use the PP's as my NEW item and the Pic and Ribbons as my OLD item. This was my first time really distressing and omgosh it was so much fun!!!! You should've seen the table when I was finally finished!!

2009 Goals was for Kerri's New Years Resolution challenge, since I don't make resolutions I decided to make a goal this year. This journaling is very hard to see, but it reads :

My New Years goal for 2009 is to spend more time scrapping with my mom. Scrapping has mad our friendship grow more and sometimes I forget how fortunate it is to have a mother who shares the same interests as I do. So, for this year I'm going to spend less time on the computer and spend more time w/ her, whether it be scrappin' or just chatting!!

Well that was all I got completed, but hoping to get some more done maybe this weekend or something. School starts back up on Monday the 5th so I probably won't be around too much!

As always, thanks for lookin'! I hope you all have a wonderful New Years!!!

XOXO
