Wow, where is the time all going to? There simply aren't enough hours in a day anymore! It is looking very well on the home buying front. Inspections and appraisals have all been done, loan is approved and now its just getting final details / paperwork done. And of course I have been busy cleaning and packing here to try and get ready for the last move. Wow those words really sound like music to my ears!


Anne has released a new Free kit over at Creative Dreams called My Favorite Jeans. I loved it for this LO where I spent 30 min cleaning limbs out of the yard after the remnants of Hurricane Ike hit us.

Be sure to hop on over and grab it!

I don't have too much else to share right now, I hope to get more computer time soon... but it might not happen until after the move. Back to packing for me!

Sorry I haven't checked back in for a few days. On Friday I put the kids on the bus to school and my DH took me to the ER. I apparently had a bad ear infection. All I know is that through the wee hours of Friday morning my ear kept popping and it was very painful. At one point it popped 5 times in 5 or so seconds and it was all I could do not to scream out in pain. I probably should have called and tried to get into the Dr's office, but it was hurting so bad DH said no, we are going to the ER. I was seen and out of there getting prescriptions filled by the time I would have been able to call in and try to make an appointment at the Dr's, so I guess it was a good call on his part!

I found a challenge to scrap about your name. When I saw this I knew I had to do it because of the story behind my name. I'll show you the LO I did so you can see what I am talking about. It has definitely gotten a few chuckles in the galleries so far. (Kit is Botanical Garden by NikkiFabulous Designs)

I hope that you got a chuckle out of it as well. I'm still not feeling up to par yet so I think I'm going to go and try to sneak in a nap!

Picture perfect

I was searching for the right picture for this months picture perfect challenge over at DSO and kept coming back to the dragonflies. For the challenge the main "paper" of the LO had to be a photo, original or blended into a paper. I have always liked this type of layout, and have used it a few times in the past. For this one I decided to use the whole picture, and just blow it up to be the entire page, then I copied the smaller section of it and turned the background to a black and white. Added a small black mat to the color portion to help it stand out, and added the quote from Elegant Word Art and voila a simple yet stunning (I think at least) layout. I may even have to get this one printed and framed I am thinking.

Not too much else to share today, have a dental appointment soon and my ear is bothering me (sinus backup) so gonna jet for now!
