See, I can scrap...

So I have finally made time to just sit in my office and scrap today and I have really enjoyed it. I've been doing Challenges for Scrap-Diner's Cheers Crop, and I did a Layout for Scrap The Music. Really gals, if y'all haven't been to either of these places, I advise you to check 'em out. A lot of inspiration and a lot of talent! Before I show you the goods, let me catch you up on life at Jessi and Dave's. I've been working my ass off...Dave's been on vacation. He deserves it, but it is so hard getting out of bed, knowing he's going to stay there until noon, and then the hardest thing he is going to do is run from the cops while his crime level is 4 stars. (If you don't speak geek that's a GTA reference. I know, it's sad that I know this, but that's the price you pay for marrying a computer geek.) Then I come home and try to do housework, but this has been a rough week, so it goes undone, and I go to bed. In other news, I have been collecting those Coke Glasses from McDonald's. Does anyone else do this? I swear, it started out as a joke and now has become almost an obsession. I think all we need now is the pink one and the clear one and I'll have them all. This leads me to my next question tho...is it a sin to drink Pepsi from a Coke glass? Think about it while I bring out the goodies!

Anyway, I digress. I was challenged to scrap-lift this, and here's what I came up with.

Then I went onto another challenge in the Cheers Crop. We were challenged to scrap music that inspired us. What a coincidence! I was just sitting down to start my STM LO. Here it is. "Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington and John Coltrane. I love this song and I LOVE this picture. Hope you enjoy.

I'm still scrapping away, but I wanted to get these two posted while I was contemplating my next LO. I think the laundry's dry too, so I'll see y'all later!!
Hugs!!

Me and My Mojo!

So my mojo may just be coming back. after cleaning my scrap space last week I finally sat down and decided to create. I got a fabulous Journal Kit from Studio Calico last month and I decided it was the perfect project to get me started. I am really pleased with the outcome. Take a look!

So yesterday I went down to Mineola and met my little brother's fiance. She is super nice and my brother has really picked a good one. We had lunch at a little Italian place near her house and talked about how they met and that kinda stuff. All in all it was a nice afternoon.

After wards I went home to take Dad out to an early Father's Day lunch/ dinner at Blue Mesa. LOVE this place. I have gotten a sampler every time I go because there is just so much good stuff there. I love their Sweet Potato chips and Queso Blanco. If you've never been and there's one near you.....shame shame..it is AWESOME! Its also a great place for Tequila because it is most known for their Tequila bar. Good stuff.

Well, it's Father's Day so Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's past present and future out there. I'm gonna go call mine and then maybe go with Dave to take his out to lunch. Y'all have a great Sunday and be safe!

Hugs,

Amazing Scrap Space!

Just a quick post, but I had to share!

Ok, so I was cruising the websites tonight and I stumbled across this fabulous scrap space! You have to go check it out because it is truly a sight to behold and a true inspiration for me. Gotta Love Making Memories.

Ok, so now I'm gonna go scrap. Y'all be good!
Hugs,

Viva Las Vegas!

So, I finally downloaded and sorted through all the pictures. Don't worry, I didn't upload all of them, just the fun ones. We had such a great time. Dave and I went all sorts of yummy places, place a lot of penny slots, had a lot of free drinks, saw Phantom of the Opera and even left ahead in a few casinos. If you ever have the chance to go to Las Vegas I highly recommend it. We spent a week there, and it was nice because we got to wander around and get to know the city, but our next trip will only be a few days. Now we know what we like so there will be less exploring needed. Now I just gotta print pics and get ready so scrap 'em.

Guess what I did this weekend??

Ok, so I know I'm a day late...you love me tho...right? Thought so. So this weekend I decided I would break out of my funk and get some work done. Well, when I went into my scrap room I was met with a disaster. I was discouraged so I turned on Lifetime and started to watch Army Wives. (Great show unless you can't deal with anything military without getting choked up. I'm getting there...) But I digress. So I cleaned my scrap space!! Wanna see? Thought you might. Soo here it is in all it's glory. Keep in mind I only get 1/2 of the office and I have a room full of stuff.

So Sunday morning I took a break from cleaning my space and went to one of my best gal pal's house. Some of you may know her, and for those of you who don't, let me just tell you she is fabulous and a girl couldn't ask for a better friend. She took me to see Sex and the City, and I loved it. It was definitely a great way to escape the boy at home and the company made it all the better. After the movie we went to Bahama Buck's and back to the Casa to hang out for a bit. Then I got out the camera and captured a few sweet moments.

This is a picture of Aleida and her gorgeous little angel, Bella. She is the kinda little girl that makes Mama's proud and Daddy's nervous. She's so sweet but she's got a wild side that is gonna keep her parent's on their toes as she gets older. I only hope to have a little beauty of my own one day.

So I know you all want to see Vegas pics..they're coming...I promise. I'm still sorting through them and hoping to have a slide show up in the next couple of days. I'm off to grab a snack, a shower and then head to bed. Y'all be good and be safe!
Hugs!!

Getting out of my funk

So, I know my posts have been very few, and very far between...more so lately. I've just been in a crazy, uncreative funk. Today that stops. I have been MIA for far too long and I've been neglecting my art,k my firneds and my favorite scrappy haunts online. So this will be a quick post because I'm on a secret mission, which I will share later...not a mission for anyone but myself...but you will see my end result later tonight or possibly tomorrow.

So I bid you all good Saturdays as I dive into my scrap room and prepare to work. I love you all and will have pics and a much lengthier post coming.
