Fabulous weekend!!

What a weekend!! It didn't start our very nice...we had inches of snow on the ground, yuck! I'm so tired of the snow!!! Anyways, Saturday afternoon I went our with my best friend, Tina! I haven't seen her in a couple months. Our schedules have been so wacked out lately! It was so good to see her again..we went shopping together and had a total blast! Our fave place to shop is Burlington Coat Factory (love them), so of course we had to go there! I have been eye-balling these pair of shoes for quite some time now, and guess what...they were on clearance for $3.99! Total "Deal Of The Century"!! After we were done she had to take her adorable puppy to puppy school, so I ventured off to the mall. Since I have been so down in the dumps from all this gloomy weather, I figured a new "spring colored" shirt would cheer me up! I found the cutest turqoise top...but when I had it up to myself (looking in the mirror) the hanger got stuck in my hair!!! I was so embarrassed! People were staring and I couldn't get it out...it was horrible! That was my breaking point! I marched right out of the store (of course I had to buy the shirt lol) and into a salon! Sat down and told her to CUT IT OFF! So.........one hour and 8+ inches later:

I LOVE IT!!! Why I didn't do it years ago? Who knows! I was a little nervous about what DH would say considering I haven't cut my hair this short...ever! I walked in the door, and to my surprise...he loved it too!! Thinking this day couldn't get any better...I had a package on the doorstep waiting for me to open! My RAK from Jennifer had come!! There were tons of fabulous goodies in there!! It was amazing! She is the sweetest person EVER!!! Thanks Jennifer! So...as you can see...I had a fabulous weekend!

Toot toot...

I can't believe it! One of my layouts was chosen to be published! I recieved the e-mail earlier today! I'm still in total shock! So.....keep your eyes open for the Sept/Oct issue of Memory Makers, I'll be in it!!! :)

"Mud Soup"

I haven't had any pictures printed off in the past week (I know, I get a little obsessed when it comes to pictures)...so I thought I would take this time and scrap a layout of my boys from last summer! I think the title tells all! lol They LOVE to play in the mud!!! I swear it runs through their blood! They are constantly getting dirty! I used the Little Yellow Bicycle paper line...love it!! It's perfect for boys!
I have been challenging myself to use more than two photos in my layouts (I'm one of those "one photo" scrappers), it has been really difficult, but I'm really enjoying it! I even scrapped a two pager last week for myself! Now that was weird! I'll post that one after the contest is over this month.
I decided to do another "baby girl" card! I don't know who I'll give this one too, but I just had to scrap something girly!!

Pirate Princess

My sister's birthday is just around the corner...a couple weeks, but I know if I don't make her card now I'll forget! I love this paper line by Rusty Pickle!! Inside the card I sewed a little pocket to put her gift card in...and it was a great way to cover up all my stitch mess! The crossbones on the front is Tim Holtz grungeboard...I also used his crackle paint on it!!
