Another Teaser

Well...I did another layout last night...and then packed up the pictures, layouts, and DVD into a big honkin' box for UPS to pick up this morning and deliver to B&I tomorrow. There are still 4 films that I have to develop today and then finish that project next week. Here's a teaser on that 3rd layout...history in the making for sure!
Then...I got home from work...hooked up my battery, put gas in, put oil in and cranked up the mower. All I heard was click click click. So I called Tiffany...she asked Bobby and he said...check the connections...ok tightened em up...and cranked it over...and this was the result!
Yep, the back 40 got mowed...City Girl style...once I got used to the mower, I put her in 5th and away we mowed...not bad either for not having been on a rider in 14 years. We always had a push mower and a small yard with no need for a rider. It's not a perfect mow, but it'll do for now. The girls wanna go Redneck 4 Wheelin' too...I'll let them now for a little bit tonight...but I don't want the gas wasted as it cost me 20 bucks to fill up that 5 gallon gas can at the local BP.
Gabby took these photos...and one of herself...just in case I guess...she forgets what she looks like. She's my quirky kid....all kinds of quirks to that one there is. But I love her none the less.
Well it's Thursday...two more days of work left and then we can get on with our weekend. We'll be cleaning all weekend, now that I have the a/c working again we can get our groove on and not be dripping sweat in our eyes. Lord knows, I HATE to sweat. I don't mind doing the work, but man I hate that sweating part of it. But then, I always have, even as a little girl I didn't like to break a sweat. Quirky I am...Gabryelle comes by it natural...ask my mom on that one for sure.

I'll have to do a layout one day of all my quirks...that was a post last year sometime in the fall...I remember it vaguely...'tis why I blog...so I can write it down and remember.

Happy Thursday to y'all!

Love,

Hump Day Sneak Peek

I got my Creative on last night...Matter of fact, I didn't get to bed until 11:00 p.m. I was so in a groove! Here's a little glimpse of what I did...for B&I...I will post in it's entirety on Friday when they are scheduled to recieve it!

So Monique comes in the other day with a flower....and she says..."Mom, will you be my Valentine?" and hands me this yellow flower...I said yes of course...and she went and picked me another and we put them in this cool looking water/wine carafe/vase with my decorative rock...so cool that she still loves and thinks of her momma like that.
Tonight I'll be busy printing out Snapfish's mistakes...I hate ordering prints online, seems like they always cut some off where you don't want them too...and I have 1 other layout to do for B&I too...so I'll not be on tonight...I'll be getting my CREATIVE on!

Happy Hump Day!!
Love,

Saturday Photos

Let me set the scene for you....
Saturday morning...9a.m....90 degrees....
Saturday afternoon....3p.m....98 degrees....
And I'm not talking about the BOY BAND either....
I'm talking...HOT and HUMID...HOTTER THAN A TT IN HELL HOT....SMOKIN'!
So I tell the girls...Let's go get some Happy Hour...at Sonic...and THIS is my new favorite drink...
Mocha Java Chiller...Sonic Style...
AND...on our way home.....we FINALLY capture the Perfect Palm Tree...in the yard of the Georgia Department of Transportation...GDOT. So here is the before picture....

And here is the same tree...edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6...pretty cool huh? I think this is the new background paper for a layout about that perfect tree!! I love how the color pops...but I think I can make it pop more...like up top in my banner.
Here is the FULL VIEW of said tree....I drive by this tree twice a day...and it reminds me that there is a God and he created beauty in this tree...and it reminds me to respect nature.
And my road home...Georgia 292...from Vidalia to Collins...Everyday I get to see that valley view...and most days it's sunny and gorgeous...and breathtaking. All these trees...are EVERYWHERE...awesome, I tell ya.
And finally....REDNECK PICNIC....You don't see this in Minnesota hey....they hide that up there....but down here in Georgia Peach Country, well they love their rivers...just ask Alan Jackson about that Chattahoochee....This was the remnant of what we passed on the way to Vidalia...which was a couple of trucks...tailgates down...sitting on that sandbar and huddles of people swimming and drinking and laughing...truly good times. And nooooo that's not my kid in that picture...I don't know these folks...I'm not sure I can do that...there are water moccasins here...and I ain't too keen up on my snake bite first aid...although I should take an internet course sometime...hehehe.
OH....and it's MONDAY...My friend Torm's favorite day of the week...and the countdown begins for the boys to get here...6 days and anxiously counting.

Happy Monday!

Love,

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

I JUST WON SCRAPPY BINGO...The Caller was none other than ALI EDWARDS from Creating Keepsakes...and if you look to the left...I bet there's a LINK over there to her blog! She is so dang inspiring!!

She's the reason I found the Autism Speaks site too...her son Simon has Autism...she's a big Autism Awareness inspiration as well. And well, we all know Autism is a part of our family now with R.G.

So I'm excited...I think I won an autographed copy of her book...which I will already own, but I'll save that autographed copy as it'll be worth something soon!

Anywho...7 days and counting down...and it's too hot to scrap today...but I did manage to get some creative on...Here's what I did so far...I think they need more though...like ribbons and such...I'll have to think on this at work...hehehe...I love my job!

Coke Patterned Paper Tissue Cover...for Kay the Coke Lover at the office...and her clipboard too! I'm sure she'll love it!!

Well Happy Sunday Night y'all...STAY COOL...it's still 90 here at 9pm...been 90+ for the last 12 hours...I'm getting the a/c worked on tomorrow!!

Love,
