Where Have I Been?!?!

EEK!! I'm such a terrible blogger! Ack! So let's see...how can I sum up how my last few weeks have been?? Hmm...I know...with a visual aide...here we go...

Yep...that was my view when I went to my daughter's school to watch their little talent show. For about an hour and a half...I got to take in this lovely image. I don't know if you can tell, but his shirt actually says, "Horny as Hell." (Always appropriate attire for an elementary school, right?) I've been in therapy ever since. LOL!!! Pfft!! I know what you're thinking...why did I take a picture of THAT?? Well...I just had to have evidence...I didn't think words alone could do it justice! Oh my...Okay...so I think you get the picture...probably a little too vividly, right? Things have been a little hectic and sometimes, a little crappy. (Boo...bad pun!!) Enough of that...moving on...thankfully! ;)

Things have really been buzzing behind the scenes over at Funky Playground Designs!! Lots of exciting things to come...I can't wait to share!! Only a few more days and I'll be able to spill it all!! But I can share some of the layouts that I've been making for FPD...

And Fei-Fei's stuff was in the Spotlight over at Oscraps. Shaui hosted such a fun challenge! Nothing on your page could be straight...everything had to be turned on an angle. Here's the page that I did for the challenge:

And this is just another page for Shaui's team...

And this is a little tribute to all the mom's that I did for Jodie's team for Mother's Day...

And here's a little page I did for Dianne Rigdon's team...

And a hybrid baby shower invitation for Dianne's team...

Okay...I think I'm all caught up now. But I have more to share...soon!! Yay!!! I hope I didn't scar anyone with my lovely picture...I hope no one has nightmares!! {heehee!!} Have a wonderful day!! And I promise...next time...my blog will be crack-free!!

You guys are so sweet!!

Hi, everyone!! (That's my little card for all of you! {cheese!} I made it using Dianne's Hearts and Crafts kit.) A little info to share...Unfortunately, when Jesse was in the hospital, I felt like I had to step down from my DT position at AC Bailey. But can I just tell you how sweet all of the DT ladies have been through all of this??? I have received so many gorgeous cards and beautiful ATC cards to lift my spirits. I'm so touched at their thoughtfulness. Jesse went back to school almost two weeks ago and his first day back felt like the first day of kindergarten all over again. I was so worried! DH and I struggled with the decision...we didn't want to send him back too soon but we knew he was getting stronger and missing his friends so we just felt like it was time to get him back to a sense of normalcy. Well...on that first day back, my mailman knocked on my door and guess what?? Leah had sent me a big ol' box of happiness!! The timing was perfect! She sent me the most beautiful papers (can you say, Sassafras Lass??? yummy.) and fabulous journaling spots and super cute Flair and Thickers and..oh my...just a ton of wonderful goodies! I couldn't believe it. It seriously made me teary. (I had been a weepy mess all day so...it was bound to happen.) Anyway, I just want to say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all of the super sweet and uber thoughtful ladies over at AC Bailey. You guys are the bestest!! {{HUGS, hugs, and more hugs!!}}
So Jesse is better and back to school but...Syd came home Wednesday...with the stomach flu. Ugh. She's still sick...poor little girlie can't keep anything down...but it does seem to be letting up some. But before all of that started, I did manage to get some pages finished that I thought I'd share. Here's a hybrid layout that I made using Dianne Rigdon's Flit and Flutter kit and a digital layout using her "Shabby Love" kit:

And...Traci Murphy has a new collaboration kit, "Love in the Rain" in the store at Funky Playground Designs. I made a little layout with it and it ended up in the Spotlight at ScrapArtist. Woohoo! A $5 gift certificate to the store! :) Yay! Here's the page:

Let's see...what else...Jodie has some new word art in the Oscraps store that I love so I put this layout together using it:

And one using her holiday/vacation word art:

And finally...I bought an amazing kit from Catherine Designs at After5Designs called "Creation 23." Oh my...it's loaded with fun little elements and gorgeous papers. So I did a little playing...just for me. :) Here are a couple pages that I made using it:

Did I overload you with pages?? :) Thanks for hangin' in there with me! And thanks again, to everyone for all the sweet comments and lovely cards and ATC's and thank you, again, Leah, for your amazing generousity. You are a sweet and caring lady...thank you!!! I'm off to tend to a little lady that's not feeling so great. Is anyone else ready for summer break?? Have a great day!! Thanks for stopping by!!
