some stuff from me...

So I've been busy. I'm Dani's promoter, so I've been scouing the boards for ISO's that would match ehr kits and enabling when I can. I also got accepted onto Chris Greiser's CT. I fell in love with her stuff over at ESS and she's intoduced me to a few new boards, so I'm trying to find my way through them.

So, I have a few LO's to share, a few of them that are hot off the press today (I was bored at work, what can I say?), and a couple of word arts that I made to match Dani's new Oh My Stars kit.
This one is from a speed scrap the other day. It's made using papers from Chris Greiser's Flirty kit (availablea t ESS, SUN and Pretty Scrappy) and DaniMoy Designs Put the Lime in the Coconut elements:

These next two are using Chris Greiser's SketchMe Template packs, these are both from Set 1, and her Googly Moogly kit.


And this one was for a scraplift challange over at ESS...it was perfect since Jaime's birthday is coming up to use all these pictures. This is using Dani's ne Oh My Stars kit.

Now onto the freebies! A few of us on Dani's CT made some matching word arts for Oh My Stars. Here's the preview, and go to her blog to find out how to get it.
Here's a bigger preview of the 2 I did (click on preview to download):



I think that's it for now, I need to go and get some goodies for the party tomorrow. Have a good weekend everyone!

OMGosh...it's almost JUNE!



Can you believe how fast 2009 is going? It's almost June already!




I can't believe that in a few short weeks, I'll be a mommy to a FIRST grader!




Michael can not wait to go to school all day. They have a "practice lunch" next week in the lunch room, where they get to go in and buy lunch to see how it works. He's bouncing off the walls waiting for lunch day!




Jaime is getting ready for a new prek next September. I love our old one, but just can't get him up there with my new work schedule. Poor kid loves school too. We were asking him last night what his last name is, and he says his name is Jaime Anananas. It's adorable...poor kid.




Tristan has finally hit the terrible 2's a few weeks ago. That boy's got some temper, let me tell you. And I'm a mean mommy who laughs during a tantrum, which just makes him more angry.




Anyways, on to the point! Dani's got this adorable kit for father's day that just came out. It's Daddy's Boy. I'm slacking with the hoilday weekend still and need to make a page with it. I'll get one for you tomorrow. But here's the kit preview:




Run on over to her store at ESS and grab it! Also be on the lookout this weekend for the Blog Train! All of us CT gals are working on a kit for you with this kit!


And I've got a Father's day word art pack for you too. Please let me know what you think!!!! And if you've got requests for word art you want let me know!



And you can grab it over here.

Brothers...

So, I have 3 boys. Also know as monsters...rugrats...evil spawn...you get the picture. They are 2.5 years and 20 months apart. Seriously, sometimes I wonder if they'll make it to 10. It's questionable at this point.

Take last night for instance. My fiance was home with them (lucky him :D). I got out of work and went to pick them up to go shopping for sandals. In the car on the way over, Michael kept bugging the little boys. On the way home, the little boys bugged him. It's a vicious circle. Times like that make me wonder if I should have sold my rust bucket mommymobile aka a 1995 Plymouth Voyager for my nice 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Yes, I sacrificed my sanity so I could have a nice car.

While looking at sandals, Tristan decided he didn't like any of the ones Mommy and Papi picked, so he had to pull out all of the Lightening McQueen ones to try them on. Yeah, that was fun. Jaime threw a temper tantrum because he didn't want to go home, and because Michael kept LOOKING at him. Fun times.

But there are those times when their bond really shows. And because they are few and far between, we learned to cherish them.

In other news, Michael is a reader now. All 3 boys love books. Most kids go nuts for the candy in the grocery store, my kids go for the books. In school Michael's class has been reading The Magic Tree House series. They are short chapter books, and while not the easiest for a new reader, they make for a great bedtime story. I've got book # 4 waiting for me at home and a whole slew of them waiting on ebay for me tomorrow. I definately recommend them.

Anyways, in scrap news, I believe the blog train will be leaving Dani's blog next weekend. Be on the lookout for that, it'll make a cute Father's Day gift!

And I have my first venture out into the world of wordart. I need to get my fonts off my old computer, but here's one for starters. Let me know what you think!

Here's a preview:

and you can download it here.

I may be around tomorrow with another on, if not have a good weekend!

OK, I know, I'm a slacker...

Anyways, I've been accepted onto Dani Moy Designs CT. I *heart* her stuff. Her kits are awesome (and she has BOY kits!) Seriously you should check her out over at Enchanted Studio Scraps.

Also, I'll be part of my very first blog train, using a new kit from Dani, so be sure to watch out for that, either this weekend or next weekend.

I'm also tossing around the idea of making word art. I love me some good word art, so be on the watch out for some freebies coming soon too.

And here's what I've been up to for the last few weeks. Nothing much, since Mother Nature can't make up her mind what temprature she wants NY to be. It's freezing one night and warm the next. It's been really nice the last few days, so the boys are happily getting over colds and wanting to be outside all the time.

Anyways, here's some of my latest scrap...most of it is my goodies from iNSD.

This one is of Tristan, about this time in 2007. Gosh, time flies!!! The kit is the Earthy Crunchy Collab by the ESS designers. It's jampacked with goodies.


Here's another one of Tristan. This was at our first day in the park this year. he LOVED it. The kit is Dani's Sonshine.




This is from the May Desktop Challange over at ESS. It's on my desktop now. And I''ve got to get working on the June one! This is Dani's BohoChic kit. The green paper I think is one of my favorite papers.

And finally, here's one of Mikey. This was my first speed scrap, and it was a ton of fun! The kit is Chris Greiser's Blue Green Summer (catch her store at ESS!) and the word art is also available at ESS, it's Pixie Perfect Designs Say it Pack.
Ok, so I need to go home and see what kind of disasters my kids have created today. It's never a dull moment!
