Does it mean I'm old???

I just admitted to my friend, Amanda, that my hubby and I are looking for......an RV!!! Wha?? When did that happen?? I never pictured myself as an RV'er...does that mean I'm old?? (Don't answer that!) And I have a big class reunion coming up in a couple weeks...that's not helping my decrepit feeling. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, though! I think I'll be needing a sassy new haircut for the big occassion. (It's a good excuse for a haircut and a new outfit, right??) The fact that all of my favorite movies are getting remade must mean I'm old. I have to chuckle at some of the remakes, though...can you believe they're actually remaking "The Karate Kid??" Why would they do that? If they try and remake any John Hughes films like "Pretty in Pink," I'll have to through a fit and protest. (No one can replace Miss Moly Ringwald and Jon Cryer as Andi and Duckie...it just can't be done.) And I've been might cranky these days...that's a sure sign that I'm old. (If I say 'youngster' or 'teeny-bopper,' that'll just push me right over the hill!) :) Anyway...enough will the babbling. How about some layouts?? Here we go...

Leah has the cutest new kit in the store at the Playground!! It's my favorite from her so far...yummy houndstooth papers and the cutest little flag elements! Here are a couple pages that I made using the "Cherry Pie" kit:

Leah's going to be making a guest post over at the Simple Scrapper blog (with some freebies...woohoo!) next week. I'll post the link to the post when it's up.

The fabulous Kitty Designs is the guest designer at the Playground this month...so exciting!! I made a couple LO's using her "Toy Box" kit.

And some more FPD CT layouts:

(I was in the GSO thread over at DST for my "i see" layout! Yay!!)

And Joyce Paul has some amazing new stuff in the store at Shabby Pickle....an adorable kit called "Cutie Pie" and she also has a fabulous (and huge) collaboration kit with the talented Lauraskathi!



And I did a page using Jodie McNally's word art from the Oscraps collaboration kit, Homespun...

(That's my dad's parents and one of his sisters in the photo.)

A simple little page using Dianne Rigdon's GloryWorks kit at ScrapArtist:

And finally, a couple pages using Fei-Fei's Stuff's new kit, Reflections, over at Oscraps.


*whew!* I think I'm all caught up now. So....when Amanda gets her trailer and I get my RV, we're going to meet up and park our campers side-by-side and have a big ol' redneck-fest...anyone want to join us?? (Oh yeh...I told hubby, Amanda...it's on!!) :) Thanks for stopping by!! Let me know if you guys find me an RV...and a cane!! ;)

BLOG HOP!!!

I have been so excited to share this news with everyone!! I "met" an amazing digital designer, Joyce Paul, at Funky Playground Designs and instantly loved her work! She had a CT call and I was lucky enough to be invited to join her team!! Recently, Joyce was given the opportunity to sell her designs at a different store but the only drawback would be...she would have to be exclusive to that store. Joyce was heart-broken to have to leave FPD so soon after getting started but she just didn't think she could pass up the opportunity to sell her designs at.....

SHABBY PICKLE DESIGNS!!!!

So to celebrate Joyce's grand opening at SPD, I have a little gift for you!! Two, actually! Two quickpages...one created with Joyce's "Copacabana Loco" kit and one created with her "Summer Fun" kit. And that's not all...we're having a blog hop! Freebies at each stop! So, after you pick up your goodies here, make sure you visit these CT member's blogs to see what they have for you!

Rants and news...

Maybe I've been watching too much TV...maybe I'm just in a bitchy mood but here's some of what I've been thinking lately...

If I see one more over-lit commercial or photoshopped ad trying to sell me anti-wrinkle cream, I think I'll scream.

Shouldn't it be illegal to use fake eyelashes in mascara ads??

Isn't it wrong to use botox-filled, cosmetic-surgery-having chicks to illustrate how to be "fabulous-over-40??"

Am I the only one that thinks Nicole Kidman looks...ridiculous these days??

I'm beyond ready for the new season of "Project Runway!!" "The Fashion Show" just isn't cutting it. Poor dillusional Merlin.

And finally...on a happier note...I love all of these spaces but how cool is that wall with the log ends??

Okay...all done with my ranting!! Onto the news...well, I can't actually share the news yet, I just wanted to tell you that I have news!! {heehee!} I'll be posting it tomorrow and...if you're good, there might even be a little sumpin'-sumpin' for you! (Hint...QP...maybe more.)

So hopefully I didn't scare you away. There's going to be a blog hop tomorrow with freebies so be sure to come back and check it out!! Thanks for stopping by and letting me be bitchy!
