Another redundant post...

Every time I visit my blog to make a new post I get this feeling that I'm being a tad redundant. It's the same old thing... :D

We're still trying to get settled in. It's hard without the "man of the house" to help hang large mirrors, shelves or even rods for the new window treatments. I know that's not all he's good for, but those traits certainly do come in handy during times like these!

School is going okay for the kids. I've got two drastically different teachers (than what we've had in the past) and teaching molds to deal with. On Elisabeth's end we have the middle-aged, stern and grumpy 2nd grade teacher who nit picks everything and puts frowny faces on papers. And on Landon's end we have the middle-aged, "queen of everything" teacher who seems to have it out for my kid. I don't know why.. but she will intentionally leave him out of certain activities (according to him) and makes excuses as to why they don't have time for him to retrieve his treasure from the Treasure Box. He comes home upset, which just makes me more furious... that he actually realizes what she does. So, come next week I'll have two parent-teacher meetings and hopefully get to the bottom of everything.

On to good news, my next door neighbor is a SCRAPPER!!! We've already scrapped together one day last week. What a relief! She's really sweet, has two kids that are the same age as two of mine and her husband is also a Jason. Lots of similarities! Other than that I'm still getting furniture deliveries... which has been fun. And of course to fill some of my days Bella and I have done lots of shopping! :)

Here are a couple of new layouts to share.... I LOVE the Vintage Moon by Pink Paislee... LOVE IT!!





So glad that tomorrow is Friday and only 10 more days till my DH is here with us!!!
Have a great weekend!

Hello... I AM alive!!!

Well, after many long... LONG weeks of packing, unpacking and trying to get settled here in our new home of West Virginia, I think I'm finally getting there. Things have been really hectic and we've hit so many obstacles while here, of course that always just adds to the chaos, but I've survived (so far!! lol). I'm actually here by my lonesome while my lovely DH is still working in FL until the end of September. Does that give a little more clarity to the chaos?!?! LOL

I have been dying to scrap, it had been way too long so last night I finally got a new table out and set everything up. It felt SOOOOO good to jump back into it! And I finished two pages... YAY!!

So, here ya go;






I'm working on a third page now... just trying to catch up a little and get some mojo back! :)

Scrap-Tastic GOTM

After winning the Scrap Idol Contest over at Scrap-Tastic I had the opportunity of being the Girlie of The Month (aka: Guest DT). I was sent a lovely kit called 'Cirque De Soleil'. Here are the four layouts I made with the kit;
