Lots of Stuff!

Well I've had a lot go on in the past few weeks. Let's see... I was out of school for a whole week due to strept throat(that totally sucked), I got better and then my dad caught something and had to stay home for a few days as well. My B-day was Feb
9th, I turned 17 years old, can't believe it!!!! Here's how the day started off:

I woke up took a shower etc etc, waited for Dyl to get up so he could say happy b-day. He wakes up goes to the bathroom, I sit there and wait for him to get out, he goes to his room and gets dressed, we wait for the bus... still no Happy B-day, bus gets there, when we get to the school I go with him to eat breakfast, still nothing.... We leave the cafeteria so I can go get my absent slip, his friend comes over to him and says " Oh yea it's her B-day".... Dylan then realizes that it is my B-day and tells me it was too early for him, he forgot!!!!

So to make up for it Dylan and his 2 friends (DJ and Brian) get the whole bus to sing to me....they found it to be very entertaining.... It was so funny... but I gotta say they are loud!!!

I got a really cute pair of jammies (the shorts feel like a blanket... it's so awesome), 3 shirts, a jacket, and a bair of shoes that I've been wanting... they are so cute, makeup and a DVD (P.S. I love you) from the parents, I got a really cute purse, a few tops, and money from my nana and papa and I also got money from 2 other sets of grandparents and a family friend...... Thank you guys!!!

Then Dyl got sick on Tuesday so school was boring that day, he was better by Wednesday and then we got Friday off from school as an inservice day... seemed stupid to me as we didn't get today, which is President's Day off like many other schools in the area did, I'd rather have gone to school on Friday... oh well. I finally got caught up on all of my work and I'm back on schedule now.

While my friend was up a few weeks ago I got her hooked on scrapping...woohoo!! We made 2 journals that are exactly alike, we had a blast!! I've got quite alot of pics to share as me and mama had a little scrappy night on Saturday while Dyl was at a friends and dad was at work!

Our Journal:









A few cards I made with a BG valentines kit that I feel in love with:

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:

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.

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:

F- Flowers - On the PP
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!!
D - Deja Views Paper - Pear Collection
S - Stamped Image



"The Elsie Calander" was for Carol's calander challenge.. this was a blast!!!

















"Hoppy Birthday" was for my Mom's color challenge, you had to use orange and green together!



"Who I am" was for Kelly's challenge...but also worked for Michele's Recipe challenge!!



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

It's Been FOREVER!

Wow.. I haven't written in over 2 months! Well not much has really gone on in that period of time. We've been on Christmas break since the 19th and have to go back on the 5th... not look forward too it, I've really enjoyed this break, oh well! We took finals that last week and I passed all but one, which was Mr. Lamb's, my AP World History teacher. I studied and studied for that one but still was not able to pass, I was getting angry with myself until I figured out why I hadn't passed. He'd been asking us to go and get some book that cost $30 so we would be able to prepare for or AP test at the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. Little did I know that he was going to give us the test from that book as our final! He said that he went around and gave every one copies of it, but the ones who failed didn't remember him doing this. The kids that had the book made a 100 on the test of course, because they'd been working on it ever since he told us about this book. I thought that this was very unfair, what do you think?! Now I have to go back and take a test on the very first day we go back to try to get a better grade, but none of the other classes have to do that, they just have to answer some questions that were on the board! How unfair! Well enough on that. Christmas this year was great, my grandparents came up and spent Christmas eve through Saturday with us. Everybody kept saying that it wasn't going to be a big Christmas this year, and they were all worried about it, I kept saying that it didn't matter as long as we were all together it would be perfect, and it was! We did receive gifts and they were all awesome. I got a new pink MP3 player that also plays videos, clothes and PJ's, makeup, a new belt that has little gems on it, so cute!, a stocking full of chocolate and other candy... yum!!!, and money, even without these gifts Christmas would have still been great! How were your holidays?

I haven't been up to too much in the scrappy world, but I got a LO done a few weeks ago and have a few pictures of some of the cards I made, other than that nothing much has gone on. I plan on scrapping New Year's eve with my mom and we are planning on going to a few crops through out January so hopefully I will get my scrappy mojo back. I was really looking forward to going on the JS scrappy getaway, but unfortuantly I won't be able to, maybe next time!



Well I need to go get caught up on the scrappy boards and blogs! See ya later!
I will update this post with a few pics as soon as they finish loading.

UPDATE:

Girly Girl LO - I just love this picture of my mom, it is probably one of my fave ones to scrap!! These papers are from American Crafts... I usually don't care too much for them, but these ones just popped for me!!

Woohooo!!! Just got back from the new Micheal's that we went to... The real reason we went was to meet Tim!! OMGosh it was amazing!!!! My mom and I got a pic taken together with him, was soo awseome! He has got the most amazing teeth ever and the prettiest smile!!! Anyways, it was totally cool.... oh yea and guess what... besides the pic I got his autograph on the back of a make and take we did!!! Of course I took pics of some of the stuff we did... I kinda got pushed out of the way, but it was a blast!!! I've never really known much about Tim and his products, but I will have to start using his stuff!!! My mom met a friend of a friend there, she was so sweet! They got a pic together as well, my grandma did a make and take all by herself, actually she was the first one to do the make and take, it actually surprised us! She bought some stuff, which we haven't figured out why yet, she won't ever use it, but she says maybe she will.... let's hope!

Well I have alot of pics I found on the camera that I hadn't shown yet and ones of Tim of course!... and one I am going to show because I have no clue what the heck it is!!!!

PS: Oh and guess what?! My mom took me to Movie Gallery to get an app and they told me I needed to be 18 or older to work there... why in the world would they put 16+ on the internet and when it actually has to be 18 or older!!! UGH!!!!

EDIT: 1:34 PM

OK, I just got some more pics from my mom that I'm gonna share of Tim, I was too busy paying attention to what he was doing to take pictures, so I took these!!!













He is soo funny as well, he said he wanted to make a shirt saying "Does this shirt make my crack look big?" and on the back he wanted a bottle of crackle paint... they told him no... I would so wear that though, he also said he wanted to name the Tim Holtz craft hammer the "Brad Banger" they told him no to that as well....
