Have I ever expressed how much i hate coming up with titles to my blog posts???
LOL Well. I. HaTe. iT.
Sometimes I wish I could just not put one at all. Oh well.
Let’s get to it shall we?
Tonight is BTSN. Otherwise known in this household as BACK-TO-SCHOOL-NIGHT. The girls are stoked. They get to meet their new teachers and see which of their friends will be in the same class as them. And school starts tomorrow! I am excited and scared at the same time! LOL #1 reason being that Bailee is starting middle school. When did this happen? I don’t want her to grow up. UUUGH. Mixed Mom feelings goin’ on. The other reason I don’t know if I want them to leave me is that they keep Brody entertained a lot of the day! The boy is seriously ACTIVE. From one thing to the next… ALL DAY LONG!!! He will be missing his sisters like cRaZy!!!
Anyhoooo… BIG DAY TOMORROW!!!
I’ve been working on a few things since my last post. There’s a few calls out for cards right now so I thought I would create to submit for once. Instead of create and submit whatever fits! Either way… love cards. Been having some fun scrappy time.
Which is your fave???

I think these are each fun for different reasons but on an originality note… I’d have to say the “Happily Ever After” card is my personal fave! It’s a different kind of wedding card. I cut out the pumpkin pieces then covered them with glitter. The big carriage wheels came off a Jolee’s Boutique Bicycle sticker and I just painted them white then added the BIG pearls. Fun stuff!
Anyway…. I have lots to do still so I better get going! Just wanted to check in and say Hi!
♥ TOODLES! ♥

Cutttteeee! I like the carriage card but I LOVE the ‘live simply’. It’s just simple and I like that.
BTSN is next week for us. I’m looking forward to it so I can get back to my lifestyle change (diet!). This junk food is killing me! LOL

Love all the cards, but I adore the Happily Ever After one most! So charming and creative. I’m sure it would be truly treasured!
How can summer be over and school starting already? It went so fast. I have had a girl in Middle School, it is so hard. Girls that age are just so hormonal. We just took it day by day, and I gave her some pointers on what to do in different scenarios, so she felt a little empowered. Big changes, but most are positive, so just hang in there. Sometimes I think it was harder on me than on her, LOL!

Shanna,
I love all the cards as well, but the Happily Ever After is my fav as well. I never would have thought to paint the wheels white! Dah… Sometimes, I just have to try harder to think outside of the box!
Great job as usual!!! Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely adore them all, but “happily ever after” totally won me over. It’d be NUTS if that didn’t get picked up by a mag. You’re amazing!

lisa Says:
i totally love that pumpkin/cinderalla card. the girls and i saw a cinderella wedding at disneyland once and it was so cool. not much in the happily ever after mood, but that still is my fave card! i personally think it should be more like happily never after or happily for five years! lol but ignore me. i’m bitter. ha ha
