Funny Question Monday

Hey Yall,

So I thought I would ask a funny question to help Yall get through the "Monday Blues."

**If you were a candy bar which one would you be and why???  lol

I would be a score bar....yummy on the outside but even better on the inside! (my heart is full of gold)

Hope Yall play along and have a fantastic Monday!!!!

Ship Wrecked Layout

Hey Yall,

My boy friend and I decided to get this cool ship to put together.  I love these type of ship.  They are so pretty and amazing to me! Well, after HE put it together :) and had such a hard time with all the string we both said never again!!! SO...in the pictures he is not too happy and aggravated but I had to take them anyway! lol

 Paper - 7gypsies
Tags - Basic Grey die cut shape pieces
Washi Tape (OMG I love this stuff)
I didn't use any distress ink this time which is crazy for me not too!!! :)
Thickers - foam (i love these little ones)
So I think the title is pretty appropriate considering we don't want to do this again! LOL

I hope Yall like it!!

Busy Busy Busy

Hey Yall,

I wanted to say HELLO to Yall.  Now that summer is in full force I have been busy busy busy.  By the time the evening rolls around I am pooped and cant focus to craft! Yes, I know....like that is really possible...but it has been lately!  Friends, family, and I have been having a yard sale the past 2 weeks (man I am over that), my son is now taking swimming lessons (yippee), and I am still trying to recover from foot surgery! ugh I am pooped. lol  Not to mention it is blazing hot here in the south!

I can't believe it but I registered my son for school today.  3 more weeks and school starts! WOWZA it went fast. SO...that means I will be squeezing in some fun in the next 3 weeks.  Don't worry though as soon as school is back in I will be posting more often! (i hope lol)

Anyhow, I just wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy summer!  I have a few upcoming surprises I can't wait to share with Yall! eeeekkkkkk exciting huh!!! Sooooo stay tuned!

"Butterfly" Layout

Hey Yall,

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July holiday! I sure did! We watched fire works right in my driveway and they were awesome! My 5 year old has been talking about them ever since. lol  I guess for New Years I will have to surprise him with some. :)

I had fun making this layout of my honey and myself.  He just make me smile all the time no matter what!

 *Papers - DCWV, Recollections, Lawn Fawn, and Lily Bee Designs
*Butterflies are chip board pieces from the dollar spot at Michael's
*Washi Tape (love it) from Freckled Fawn
*I used stickles for added bling
*To make the circles in the orange paper I used a 1 inch circle punch and punched it half way
I hope Yall like it! Have a fabulous weekend!
