Well AJ was up most of the night again... he had a little tummy ache at first, so I rocked him and cuddled him for a little while, after he had a dose of milicon drops.. He heard something on the tv that was loud, and boy, then he was up! LOL Bouncing all over the bed... bouncing all over Albert LOL After a little while we laid him down in bed and nope.. he was up.. but a little fussy. We checke...

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else's life. Every day you make some progress and every day you make a few mistakes. Through it all, your wisdom continues to grow and your experience continues to broaden. Be gentle with yourself. Accept who you are, where you have been, and what you have to work with, for in this moment you can make posi...

Man... I love that song. Have you watched the original "X" factor from England? You can catch it on youtube. Anyhow, it trully describes how I feel for my kids. We just keep bleeding love over and over for them. With my eldest dd, this song is profound.

I'm on the low of my rollercoaster ride today. A lot of unwanted stuff happening. Thanks!

July 23, 2008 Running By Faith Tracie Miles "For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) Devotion: It was finally here. My favorite time of year, and my favorite place to be. I hopped out of bed with an unusually eager attitude to do my morning exercise. I stepped out the door into the crisp morning, and inhaled a deep breath of salty beach air. I headed for the soft...

I am out on sick time this week. Apparantly, someone has been pickng up my voicemails and saving them, and some of them are not very good--some disgruntled clients. Obviously nothing I can do about it at 4 am. Fearing and praying that I get fired all at the same time. I decided to go into scrapping FT, and while this is scary, at least I know how to do it, and don't feel incompetent like I do...

I went to class last night and did 2 double layouts. But unfortunately I could not finish them. The first layout I did was the one the blogged about yesterday - the layout called "PURRFECT". The reason I did not finish it is because I decided to enlarge the picture of my cat. There are only three pictures - jumbo size so I want to enlarge the one since it is a double layout. The products I used...

Hey, check them out! I have two articles in this month's TTS newsletter -- one on a hybrid cd album, and one on turning a layout into a sketch! http://digistore.treasurestoscrap.com/newsletter/july2008.pdf

The next layout in my Wedding album which I will be doing at class tonight has 3 pictures in. 2 of them have me in and the 3rd picture is of my cat sitting on one of our presents. When the present arrived in the morning of the wedding she saw the BIG box and decided to get onto it, and there she lay the whole day. I asked the photographer to please take a picture of her on it. There is not a s...

Well... FINALLY ALL the packing is DONE and Katie and I are on the road with David. We put all our "stuff" into our garage.. we can't get into the apartment until 8/9, so we're on the road again... Emily is still in NM doing the cleaning for us and getting all the hours in at work she can 'til we can get into the apartment. We went thru the Springs and I just can't tell you how much I feel like I...

I got my papers cut today to complete another album for my son. I just can't seem to figure out what to do? You ever have that moment when things just fly out of your head? I did one so far, he went to camp and took pics like I asked. Just wasn't expecting the amount of pics he took. I have one album done so far. Just maybe think another idea will come to me instead. So please, creative goddess. ...

For my friend. stampin up stamp colored with watercolor pencils. 07-2008

I don't understand!!! I have submitted my last 5 layouts to the Basic Grey Gallery and they haven't accepted them. I had 3 in that gallery, 2 of which have been removed recently, I guess because the line are being discontinued. But the last 5 are all new lines of paper. Other people have had their stuff accepted on there...but not mine. Am I just delusional??? Is my stuff not worthy??? Or a...

She wasn't as mean today which was nice. I was not looking forward to her coming. She even made my other ankle feel so much better. It is not as tight as it was. I can walk on it a little better. I am happy. DH had a bad flight yesterday going to St Louis. He ended up flying through a bad storm last night and then got stuck once the plane landed. Poor guy... he didn't get to his meetings til this ...

Tonight I went to see Mama Mia with a fun group of ladies. The theatre was filled with other groups of women. This is NOT one to drag your boyfriend or husband to.......... go with a group of girlfriends ..... the funnest ones you can wrangle up. Stay to the very end or you'll miss something pretty funny. This is just what I needed tonight.

Well, I finally got fed up with the basement flooding! We are on flood number 8, and have decided to move to another home. Everyone and their MOM has been here to fix the flooding, but it's not going to happen! So, next week, we will have yet another new address, the last one for a LONG time hopefully! Meghan and Caleigh got home from Indiana. Their experience was to say the least, not great! Bot...

I had to housesit for my parents this weekend. They went to SC for 6 days. I had to watch the dog and 2 cats.
