Update

Aloha! Man, I can't believe how fast the days are going!  I know I've said this numerous times but really, this summer is flying by, don't you think?  Anyhow, I was hoping to update the blog weekly but as usual life got in the way.  More on that later.  I did however want to share a little crafty project I did tonight.  I bought an awesome lazy Susan thingy (I'm not sure what it's called) I got from Target on clearance.  It was in white and thought what a boring color. I remembered I just bought some Tiffany blue paint and thought, why not spray paint it.  So tonight that's exactly what I did...here are the before and after pictures:

The blue doesn't look like the Tiffany Blue in this pic but it really does IRL.  (^_^)

All right, off to make some birthday cards and my Christmas tags for our swap.  Wishing everyone an awesome weekend! GOD Bless!

Weekend Recap

Yes folks I am back! Shocked I'm blogging again? Me too! LOL!  Thought I'd share my weekend happenings in picture:

Wanted to play with my Silhouette so I thought I'd try and cut out this cutie.

Continued catching up on Project Life and yes folks, I'm only on Week 8.

Needed to give my little brain a change of scenery so I decided to go back to the Silhouette and play some more.

Decided not to use the Princess carriage and just make the card super simple.

Wanted to prep these cuties and have them all ready for my next project.

Spent Monday driving my in-laws around.

While we waited for the in-laws someone must have been hot and decided to sit on her water bowl that was FULL of water. Looks like it did the trick because she was super happy after she pulled that stunt!  What a lucky little girl to be able to pull something like that off w/o it being an issue.  What a dog's life!

It's Thursday!

My goodness the weeks are going by so fast! I'm sure most of you that work say it's not going fast enough.  But for me, staying at home you'd think I would be bored to death.  But to be honest, I have tons of stuff to do and when I look up at the clock and see how it's almost dinner time I'm always wondering where the time has gone.  But this week, I actually can't wait for the weekend to come (will explain later). We got some stuff happening over there weekend and I can't wait.

Anyhow...  Today I am sharing a small look into my Project Life.  Are you doing Project Life? I know most of my visitors are card makers, but if you are a card maker or a scrapper and you are participating in Project Life, please share a link in the comment section, I would love to see.  Mine is so far behind, I'm even going back to my first few weeks and adding a few things here and there, which isn't helping me get caught up...LOL! I hope to be caught up soon, but I'm really far behind!  I guess key to keeping up is to make everything as simple as possible especially since that's the whole purpose.  OK, here's mine:

OK, before I end this post my dear friend ManLe is pre-selling the new Sister Stamps at her online store here.  You can also purchase all the other stamps there too!  Check it out and order now with the Pre-order special!

Well hello there!

I can't believe it's been since January since I've last posted! Wow! I can't say it's been super busy for me, but it's not like it's been mellow for me either.  Everything is a blur since I haven't really blogged.  I guess the good thing about blogging is remembering what you did and it's always nice to go back on old entries reading them.  I just wish I wasn't so lazy and devoted some time to blogging.  It hasn't been a priority and that bums me out.

Like I mentioned earlier, nothing really exciting has been going on.  Went on a few mini trips, decided not to go with dh to Japan last week (I know what a shocker!).  I had things here I needed to take care of and he kept going back and fourth on whether he'd be there for two days or longer.  I didn't think it was worth all that travel for two days.  Of course by the time he found out it would be a week, it was too late for me to get a good airline deal.  No biggie, to be honest I wasn't feeling a long trip nor was I itching to head back to Japan.  Don't know why, call me crazy or just getting too old.  Anyhow, I knew if I didn't go, dh would get me everything on my list and surprise me with other things.  And boy did he!  He got mostly everything on my list (the few he didn't get was in Tokyo and he didn't have time to go.  No worries because I was able to buy them off Amazon but had he gotten them it would have been way cheaper! Oh well...).  I will share (hopefully) some pics of the goodies when I get the chance.  But please don't hold your breathe as you know I'm not always good in keeping my promise when it comes to my blog.

Moving on...  I've been crafting here and there.  Mostly scrapping and usually I don't like sharing my pages w/journals because of privacy issues.  I have shared some online but that's because they were DT requirements.  I'll try to post a few of my Project Life layouts once in a while.  Yes, I decided to participate in it this year...it's a no hassle way for me to scrapbook, especially when I don't have the time to really do a proper layout.  I haven't done any cards in almost a year.  Well, maybe a few for some occasions but no real stamping cards...makes me sad.  I hope to do some in the near future and share on this cobweb infested blog of mine (^_^)

OK, I think that's all I have time for, I will  leave you w/a few pics of the happenings around here!  Thanks for stopping by, hope everyone is doing well and hope to visit all your blogs as time permits!

Working on Project Life:

Picking up my in-laws at LAX, did you know dogs are allowed in the baggage section?

Decided to be hip (my GOD-daughter thinks I'm so not hip by saying "hip" haha!) and paint my ring finger different color

PS - I will be posting some Sizzix dies for sale in a few days!  Please be on the lookout!

Why I hate religion but love Jesus Christ

Here's a better understanding about my relationship with Jesus Christ. Watch and learn.

Catch Up

Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm only 11 days late! LOL!  But it's still the new year don't ya think? (^_<).  So how was/is everyone's new year?  Mine? Interesting to say the least. Lots of stuff going on, had family over for the holidays and life is slowly going back to normal (I hope!).  For those that are friends with me on FB, I recently deactivated it.  I just figured I needed a break and if I didn't deactivate it, I would log on while I was bored or waiting in the car to peek into the lives of my friends and I just wanted it to be like the good ole days.  I like to find out what's happening w/friends the old fashion way...you know, write, call or see them in person and catch up.  So I have no clue when or if I'll reactivate it.  Right now it's been nice, not knowing everyone's business or vice versa...LOL!  So if you were wondering, no, I didn't defriend you or block you (^_^)

OK, onto a few pictures to catch you up (I am posting pics from my phone, so some pictures may be grainy).  

LO of my trip to Paris (more to come).  I decided to scrap the old fashion way...with actual paper and embellies that you can actually touch (^_^)

I'm so in love with AT's mini books and I just can't get enough!  Even though I know how to make these, I find it way more convenient to just grab me some of Amy's and scrap away.  I'll be using mine for my travel journals so I'm really excited to go on my next vacay...I'm hoping it'll be back to Japan springtime.  Crossing my fingers.

M got me the Cameo (which I absolutely love, love, love!) for Christmas/Bday...but who are we kidding? I'm buying some crafty stuff and playing the bday card, am I lucky to have a support and giving dh...hahaha!

I participated in Dec Daily and slowly putting it together.  Its a lot harder when you took pictures w/3 different cameras...sigh, why did I do that?

OK, I think that's all the pics I have on my phone...will try to post regularly.  Although, I've been super lazy to blog you can bet I won't be doing it on a daily basis.  Thanks for stopping by...hope to see and hear from all of you soon!

Hi!

Wow, it's been a month since I last blogged! So sorry! I did take pic everyday in Nov but haven't had time to upload. I'm also participating in Dec Daily.  That's coming along well.  Will share once I'm done. I don't have time to post everyday, especially with the holidays here and family coming this weekend.  Just wanted to pop in and let you know I'm still here...LOL! Oooh, I'm making some cute "to-go" favors for my Christmas party.  Will share when I figure out how to put together the last part.  OK, hope everyone is having a great December!

Day 7 - Everyday + Amy Tangerine T-shirt

Day 7 - Everyday:  This is pretty much my everyday.  I start off the day on the computer and chat with my girl Leslie and then I have lunch and do some house work or whatever needs to be taken care of.  Excuse the mess!

One of the classes I took from Amy Tangerine was how to create her famous tshirts...here are my two takes.  Please keep in mind, I sooo do not know how to sew!  Be kind (^_^)

Day 6 - Looking Down

Thought I'd make this fun! Been wanting to do this ever since I saw it online.  So here's my photo for today:

Day 4 and 5

Sorry folks, I didn't get to post yesterday's photo.  It was pouring rain and well, rain makes me super lazy.  Even though I had two baskets of laundry to fold, I opted to just lay on the couch and catch up on some shows. (^_^)  Of course by the time 6:30 PM came around I was scrambling to get ready to pick up dh from the airport and run a few errands.  Let me tell you, it was not fun driving in the rain at all!  It was that bad!

OK on to the challenge...

Day 4 - what you wore:

Funny about these rain boots...people (and my friends) were going crazy over the designer of these boots.  I forgot what they're called but I've been meaning to get rain boots and when I saw these on sale for only $14 I just had to get them.  Sure they're funky but really, how often would I wear them?  It's not like I'm living in Washington State or London [but hey, if dh gets a job there, I'll be prepared (^_~)]  Anyhow, they really kept my feet and pants from getting wet cause like I said earlier, it was a downpour! 

Day 5 - clouds:

 

After yesterday's weather, it was such a sweet surprised to see the sun again...

Day 3 - Bad Habit

Confession - I don't make my bed everyday. I know I should to prove to the hubby I do some housework while he's at work. But why bother sometimes when I know I'll be taking a nap in it? hahaha! They say (and I have to agree) when you make your bed right when you get up should starts your day in the right direction. I totally agree with that 100%. So with that being said, my days don't go quite right all the time (^_^).   Moving on...here's my picture.

I'm actually using my iPhone for all my pictures.  Yup, I'm THAT lazy to bust out with the DSLR. Plus the 

iPhone 4S has an awesome camera!

Day 2 of Nov Challenge

Today's theme is Orange.  I have a beautiful bouquet of fall flowers on my table and its orange...perfect!  BTW, I choose not to upload my self portrait on the blog...I try not to put too many personal things on my craft blog (yeah, I know it's part of the challenge but I especially don't like posting a pic, especially if it's just of myself.  And yes, I know I have in the past but who really wants or needs to see that? ) (^_^)  Hope there's some of you out there participating!  If you are, would love to see your photo!

A Challenge for you and a chance to win...

Anyone interested in participating?? I've seen this around and never bothered to.  But for some reason, I've decided to participate this month and maybe make a mini journal out of it.  Sounds like fun, don't you think?  If you're interested let me know and I'll include one of those linky thingies on my blog for everyone to upload their pics. 

This year I've also challenged myself to participate in Ali Edward's Dec Daily.  I tried last year but for some reason I didn't put an album together.  Although I took pics every day, just didn't have it in me to do it...I may do it later...but we'll see.  So this year, I am crossing my fingers I can complete ONE Dec Daily!  My family will be here so life around this casa will be interesting.  Anyhow, if you wanna win Ali Edward's kit below, visit Dear Lizzy's blog here for a chance to win!  Good luck everyone!
