Happy Birthday to ME.....

I so love these photos, because they just make me smile and all full of the warm and mushy happiness!

It was Sondra's birthday, well, not her actual birthday, but close enough.  I'm thinking Melissa came up with this idea, because it is something she would do.  We decided to get a cake for Sondra and celebrate her birthday while we were all together.  Somehow we managed to pull this off while she was with us.  I'm not sure if she thought we were talking about her or just didn't notice us all being, well nutso I guess, but I can tell you that it's a good thing Sondra likes sparkle and lights, cause we had to divert her attention a few times so we could get the cake ordered, paid for, and in the trunk of my car!

The best part, when we brought the cake out for her, and by this time, the whole house knew we were doing this, we bring the cake out and start singing happy birthday, look over, and Sondra is singing it the loudest and the happiest of all of us!  I knew at that moment that I hearted her!! We also knew at that moment that we managed to pull it off!  Although, from the looks I'm getting from her in one of the pictures, I'm not so sure she was as thrilled as we were about fooling her.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

Glitter Girl???

I captured this picture of  Lora and Kathi in deep conversation about something.  I'm guessing it's something that is just simply scrappy wonderful!  What it was, I don't know, but it sure has their attention.  Which wouldn't have been hard at this LSS, it was full of amazing layouts that were on display.

Have yourself a great day!

A few weeeks ago

...I took a drive to Kathi's house, to spend the weekend with her and her sister Lynn.  I spent Friday night catching up with them, and just pushing my stuff around on the table.  Then Saturday I got busy and created these 4 layouts. 

I made all 4 layouts using the

Gossamer Blue  December kit.  It was my first kit to get from them, and will not be my last.  They do this thing, if you complete and upload 4 layouts from the kit, 5 months in a row, then the 6th month they will send you a album, for free!!!  I'm trying to be all over that!!  Month one, and I got 'er done!

As you can see, I am still working on my peeps layouts.  And YES Courtney, I'm doing it to purposely make you jealous so you'll come to the next one!!

Have yourself a great day!  It's a bit cloudy here, but temps, in January, we are in the 70's!  What's not great about that!!

Suze Goes...

Happy Friday Everyone!  It's a bit cold here again, but weather says by Sunday we will be back in the 70's!  Sure is making me long for spring!

I am really making progress on my imaginary friends album!  It seems the more I get done, the more excited about it I become! I am hoping to have a big portion of it completed before the lakehouse in May.

This picture is from our first get together in Sept/Oct 2010.  Think this is when Susan and Melissa showed me how wonderful life with thickers could be!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Go shopping!

Can you guys believe that it's almost February?  That means spring is getting closer!!  It also means it is tax form time.  All I can say is thank goodness for computers!

I've really gotten behind/slow/bad/ at blogging the last few months year, which is a bit odd for me. I've been creating, I had layouts stacked up to be photographed, I always have plenty to say, so I'm not sure what the deal is.  I have decided though, that if I had a laptop I would blog more, if I had a laptop I'd spend more time playing with photos, that if I had a laptop I could spend more time in the living room with DA, that if I had a laptop I would stop whining for one!  Can you tell I'm on a quest to get a laptop? 

It's a game we play, DA and I, except I didn't know it was a game until he let it slip, and he doesn't see it as a game, but more of, well I don't know what he calls it.  Anyway, I find something I really really want, and he figures if he gives in right away and I get it, then a week later I'll just be wanting something else. So, basically the longer he can put me off, the more money he can keep, or something like that, I really don't understand his reasoning and that's not the point.  The point is, obviously for his twisted pleasure, I have to whine for a certain length of time about wanting something before it happens.  I'm thinking I'm about there!

Don't think I have to have his permission before I buy anything, because that's not quite true, just big purchases of things that he would without a doubt notice...and a laptop suddenly entering the house would not go unnoticed by the mr.

My mojo seemed to be on Christmas break, and then didn't want to come back, but after a weekend spent at Kathi's Krafty Korner life is good and the mojo is back! And the really big news, a few of us went to a expo, and I spent $20.00!  But then I came home and started making a big huge long list of  everything I am wanting from CHA.  There is some AHHH-MaZing stuff coming!

Here's another layout for my imaginary peeps retreat album.  I just seem really drawn to all the photos from our get togethers right now, it seems to keep me from missing my peeps so much. :)  I really had fun with this layout and it came together quite quickly!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
