She's Crafty..

Last year I was contacted by the super talented and sweet Becky Fleck of Page Maps to create a layout for her new book Page Maps 2. I was beyond excited as this is my first official publication in a Mag/book!

FINALLY, I can share the layout I created for her..




It's goofy, it's silly, it's typical me right?! I had just gotten the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend line and was oh so in love with it!

I received my Layout back last week and then this week I got the book!! I'm still beaming over Becky's praise and really just the opportunity to be included with her and all the other talented ladies in this book, especially my friend Mandy Starner!

Anyways, here you can see my layout in the book!!






If you're a scrapper make sure to pick it up, I can be found on page 60 and be sure to check out my mini-bio in the back of the book as well!

It's quiet in here...

If you don't have children...I don't think you appreciate the quiet like a Mother does...I'm just sayin'!

It's been a busy summer (as usual!). Although, when don't I keep myself busy? We drove 2500 miles to and from Idaho...Here are some of my fav photos from the trip.

Random Farm house taken at 55 MPH, because Danny wouldn't hardly STOP for anything.


Grandpa and Wil


Wil trespassing in someone's Wheat


Spongebobs house (Look Danny stopped and I was so confused I took a crooked picture lol)


Wil Fishing


And so many more...It was a long drive but I'm glad we made it! Wil says the best part was shopping. hehehe

This weekend I had Little League Sign ups and what a nice surprise I came home to, I won an award! Don Ferrarsse gives out a volunteer of the month award. My Mom nominated me and I won a $75 gift card to Outback Steak House....Yum!

Wil's been at his Grandmothers since Wednesday, enjoying the break but not enjoying the hard work to get him back into his routine before school starts on Monday.

Well, enjoy your week!!

This is how we do it..

Wil has been talking non stop about these pancakes...seriously lol He didn't see me making them and can't figure it out. I've seen people use cookie cutters and pancake molds but I just put the batter into a frosting bag and piped it onto the griddle in the letter/shape I wanted. I did a Star and heart for Wil and a Happy face and heart for Danny.






Yes, I call my husband Bun lol. It started as Hunny, then Hunny Bunny, then Bunny, and Bun for short.

When we were little, my Mom used to tell us she made us special pancakes...my brother got puppies and rockets..and I got kitties and flowers. Oddly enough, they all looked round? lol

I love weekend breakfast time with my family...it's special..try it!

Happy Monday!!

Had a nice relaxing weekend!!

Friday night we set out and had dinner at Viva Maria's. Quaint lil mexican place here in town. Their chips n salsa are the bomb! No really, they are!

Saturday morning we were up mid morning. I caught up on blogs and Facebook games, priorities people. The we set out to the mall to get some new, cheap, summer clothes for Wil since he is a weed. We picked up 5 t-shirts and 5 shorts (all men's sizes!!) from JC Penney. I also got a pair of cute capris, and Danny got 3 work shirts...for $147.00. What?! Yea, the t's were like $5 each and the shorts $10 each. SCORE! I wasn't super worried about quality or them lasting forever since he will also get new clothes for school in a month, just something for him to wear so it doesn't look like we are taking a homeless kid on vacation..lol

Also stopped at Costco for pictures and Bruno Food...Danny's shop for them to look at the truck (it's making noises again!! Ugh!) and some Carls Jr. for lunch. Finished the day off with some TV and a Chicken Alfredo Pasta Bake that was delish!

Sunday I was up bright and early and made pancakes for my guys and threw some chocolate chips in mine...mmm. I made entirely too many but froze the leftovers in baggies for Wil to eat throughout the week. He has a new "way" to cook them...Microwave for 15 seconds...then cover in syrup and microwave for another 30 seconds. They are a soggy nasty mess, but he thinks then the syrup is "cooked in" gag.

I scrapped the rest of the day away...made 3 Mini albums and 3 Layouts! Wow! Can't share them just yet but I can tell you my hands were Peacock Blue at the end of the day lol

Hope you have a great Monday!

Happy Friday!

Yes, it's been months. We are pretending it's otherwise!!

It's been an eventful Summer so far!! Wil made All Stars yet again and had a great time with his team.







They were a bunch of goofballs, they didn't win the tournament, but they had a great time doing it and I couldn't have asked for better parents to be chillin' with for 3 weeks.

I've gained a new blinkie...see above side bar! Sad to see so many girls not signing on for another DT term with Scrapgal but excited to see what the future holds there.

Planning a trip next month up to Idaho for a week to visit Danny's Grandparents and hope to have a ton of pictures to scrap. ROAD TRIP Baby!!

That's about it...looking forward to meeting my newest little Nephew Wyatt in a couple weeks and trying to wrap my mind around having an 8th grader...wow!
