Have you won blog candy before?  I have recently and I'm so excited, its crazy I had to call my sister first thing.  She was then just as excited as I was. 

How perfect too, I won a box of buttons, only my most favorite embellishment in the world!  I won over at Crafty Dragons blog.  Ali is a DT member over at Lasting Memories.  They only do scrapbook LO's for their challenges, that's why I love them so much!  I do enjoy cardmaking but scrapbooking is my true love.  You should definetely take the time to check them out. 

I will be at home most of my day, so I've got to get some pages done.  Just waitin' for the sun to come up, I'm about an hour away.  Enjoy your day, and let's all be creative!

Well thank you weekend....

.....you've treated me good!

LOL! I've had a really good weekend, a lazy one at that.
It started after work on Friday I decided to make sure that I get back into blogging again. I missed it, and didn't really know it until I posted something that night. Not only did I miss writing on my blog and doing scrap challenges, I love looking at endless blogs and finding stuff that catches my eye and deciding are they worth following. Strange the things you'll come across while galavanting around blogger. While looking up fellow scrappers, and hittin' up probably a good 20 blogs I found one's profile that stated she liked to watch "tartoons".....huh? The only person I ever heard say that before was my dad, "tartoons" were a daily part of his life. He past on in '01 and there are times when I wish I could just sit w/ him again and watch Tom & Jerry or the Smurfs, just once more. Ok, didn't mean to go there, that wasn't in my agenda for this post but it sort of just happened. On to the rest of my weekend.

Woke up early on Saturday morning and spent the day cleaning and organzining. My nephew AJ was coming for the night and we were all excited because he hadn't spent the night in quite some time. We as in mom & dad thought it would be fun to play Wii for awhile. It didn't really happen like that because as soon as us grown ups wanted to play some Guitar Hero they scrammed. They don't think "Smoke on the Water" & "Shout at the Devil" are cool songs. C'mon Motley Crue, rocks and rolls!
We did get some Jimmy Johns for dinner and my nephew hadn't had it before....um we love it!
After dinner they didn't stay up late, both fell asleep during "Return of the Jedi". I fell asleep on the couch around 11pm and around 4am I vaguely remember hearing them talking and then the talking just stopped and they woke again at 8. I couldn't have used more sleep but oh well, I'm used to not sleeping in. AJ left around 630 later that evening. I was at my other sister Lisa's house helping her out w/ her blog. She started Scrappy Lo's quite a few months ago, posted once and didn't do anything with it. When I posted Friday she saw it on my fb and got reinterested. I think she'll like blogging once she gets into more. I was giving her ideas, and explaining it all. Check it out!

I'm getting sleepy and tired of hearing the person next to me playing Call of Duty: Black Ops, its so friggin' violent, eeewww gross! I mean he can't play if our son is around because its just that bad. Guess I'll go find a movie to watch on Netflix and chill for the night. I'm on a old movie kick right now, mostly 50's & 60's.

Some of you may think what a boring weekend, it was just right for me this weekend. Sometimes staying home is perfect, I hate being on the go all the time.

Weekend Fun!

Let's see I guess I'll start with a challenge card. Over at Allsorts this week their theme was "Spring is in the Air!" Love it! Then SPCC had a great color combo that worked so well with Allsorts challenge.

I had alot of fun creating this card. We've had great weather the past couple weeks, however the weekends haven't been as nice, strange wouldn't you say? So it was nice to create a springy card while it was quite chilly and gloomy outside yesterday.

I had Friday off so that I could go to the boy's kindergarten class for a "Beach Party!" Lovely weather I must say. Both Dad and I got to go and particpate. We had so much fun, dressing the part in our summer wear. I got so many awesome pics to scrapbook. Yay! I can't wait! Anyways, we had a great lunch of sand (vanilla pudding w/ finely ground graham crackers), seaweed (salad), octopus (hot dogs) and gold fish crackers & sea water. Very clever that teacher is....she shared a story that after 20 years of teaching and after 20 years of having beach parties, her and her husband have been slicing the hot dogs to have 8 legs to look like octopus, 100 total. She was watching Leno and they were sharing silly gadgets. They had a octopus maker for hot dogs. She said its takes her about an hour now, before it took them so much longer to cut each by hand. LOL! At one of the tables there was a real octopus....um....gross! It wasn't alive my boy wasn't completely grossed out, but a bit nervous. I decided to face my fears of any creatures and put the gloves on and held it and I was completely creeped out but happy that I could share that totally gross moment with him.

Friday evening Lucas got to spend the night at my mom's, first time ever! He loved it and said he would want to go there again soon. The bf and I went to Wyandotte for 3rd Friday. That city holds this all year, you walk around the shops stay open late, and there usually is a theme each month. Afterwards we went to a friends house for a bonfire. Perfect weather!

Saturday was just lazy!

Sunday my sister and I went to a GREAT! Scrapbook Event, sort of a expo....got the best deal and was so happy! I love my Creative Memories albums. Well some of you may know that they discontinued the very short lived landscape album (10x12). I have 2 of these and have needed refill pages for quite some time. They had 2 refills & pg protectors for 50% off. Woot! Woot!

So I've babbled enough, sorry if I went on for too long, but when you have such a great weekend its easy to babble. Have a excellent week my fellow creative bloggers!

BTW....check out my sister's new blog she is new to the blog world and has only posted once so far, and really its an introduction.....at www.scrappylos.blogspot.com
