QK!!

Wow just received the info that they created 94 new shapes and released them today!! I am able to download them all since I have the unlimited membership. That is pretty awesome. I must remember that it comes out of my checkbook. :) I am enjoyin my membership. Files that I never would have purchased because I really have no idea of what to use them on, I have downloaded, and I am actually planning layouts for them. I am in love with mushrooms and cottage, and am thinking of some ideas for a layout using those files. Perhaps a layout about my fairy garden when I get out there and get it ready for summer. Today was grocery day. I splurged, and filled the house with food. It has been so long since I have actually bought goodies and descent food for meals. I have been skimping so much lately to save money here and there, but one can't eat the same boring things over and over. We are having steak tonight with bakes potatoes and roasted veggies and apple pie and fruit salad for desert. YUMMY! I am going to attempt the steaks, but hoping Dean will take over when he gets home about 4:30. I need to start scrapping some more. Perhaps wehn Allie leaves for school tomorrow I will stay up and scrap. I need to get my room back in shape after unpacking from the weekend. I bought a case of printer paper off of a lady at work. Some guy she knows bought a storage locker at and auction and there were cases and cases of printer paper etc in there. Couldn't pass up the deal. 10 reams for 20 dollars. That is 2.00 a pack. Cosidering even walmart isn't that cheap I guess I did good. Well time to get going. I need to finish getting dinner ready. I need to start the grill and get that wamed up for the steaks. You all have a awesome evening. I will post some more layouts etc when I get them done. Have a good one!

Wedding Dress!!

Well when I got home Sunday my gown for William and Renee's wedding had arrived. Is it gorgeous. I will have to do some major altering to it. The straps are too long so the dress doesn't fit right at the bodice, and it will need shortened a little. The amount depends on the size of heel I decide to get. I am looking at 1-2" heels. Other then those few things, the dress fits perfect. I love it, and I do think I look good in it. Will look even better when the hair and make-up are done and I have the right shoes and brasier. Renee wants to see me in it today, so I have it on and I am waiting on her to come and get Chloe. I wil post a picture of it when I get a chance to try it on after the alterations are done. Hmm I may even have Mom make it strapless. :) Well I need to get going. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Tuesday. See everyone later!

OK ladies. I have some pics edited of the layouts that I worked on this weekend. Some I did when I came home, but several were done at the crop. Enjoy!

Home is where the heart is.

We got home around 3:00pm yesterday. We left Berlin around 12:00 but had to stop in at my parents' house to pick up Allie, and then we came home. I had to make dinner, and then unpack my bags so I could do laundry, and then not have such an issue when I tried to scrap and nothing was where it was supposed to go. We talked amongst outselves and determined that next year we would attend as well. Amy and I had a blast and once I got over my scrapping out of a tote bag phobia I was able to get a few things done. I also was afraid to break out the glitter because it is so messy, but I did when it got really late and those around me had cleared out. I was able to spread out more and loosen up. I do think I make take head phones next year so I can turn my music up and not have to listen to other people's music. I will post pics as soon as I look through the ones I took and get them up here. Have a good day, and will post more when I have time. A few of the layouts I can not post because of the DT. But I will post them when I get the ok from Chris Durnan.

We are here!

We arrived in Berlin about 2:00 friday afternoon and we wandered around from store to store. This place is adorable, and really a fun place to be. There are just so many tiny shops and country stores that you can't really get to them in one day. We found a really cute shop that sold nostalgic items such as vintage Halloween objects and then old antique signs and magnets. Amy and I had a blast and she bought a lot of things. I found an Orca box with and Orca necklace inside. Will Allie be in heaven when she get that Sunday. We found a nice little scrapbook store called the Scrapbook Nook and they had BAZZILL!! Man was I excited. I spent about 12.00 there getting some Bling for my wedding layouts. Had an idea to cut the floral boutque out of the bling instead of using the very messy glitter. I did end up using it on my last layout that I created today. It was called "All about the cake", and was the pictured of the b-day cake and Allie blowing out the candles. I used lots of glitter and tried not to be messy, but in the end the glitter WON!! Oh well that's the way it is. I am anxious to get home. I am having a good time, but I am just not feeling the scrapping this weekend. I think I am feeling enclosed, limited, stunted on my creativity. Usually I have a 6 foot table all to myself, and a fully stocked and organised room to roam and do what I want. Here I have about 4 foot of space and my supplies are in a rolling tote at my feet. I have no view of the items as I am working. It makes it harder when you don't have the room to move out. I usually have tons of things pulled out and lying around on the table to test on a layout. Oh well. I did manage to get 3 wedding layouts done, one Chloe layout done and Allie's two page birthday cake layout done. I didn't accomplish nearly what I wanted, but at least I got the wedding album started. That was my big worry. I bought everything to work on it, and I am using some awesome files from Chris Durnan, and I needed to get them started and done. Amy and I had to go to Millersburg several miles down the road to get a cell phone signal so I could call my daughter and husband. We went to Walmart to pick up Amy's photos and while there I bought a really cool keychain that has the Cullen Family Crest and the name Cullen. It is a sturdy metal, and it is my compensation for not getting Twilight yesterday. I will probably get is Wednesday Night when I go to work. Right now I am listening to Reba McIntire and relaxing. I need to attach a couple photos to the cake layout and then I am done. I may go ahead and pack everything up tonight, that way I will be ready to go tomorrow. Amy and I are going to stay up for breakfast, and then sleep for a few hours. So, I doubt if I will get anything done tomorrow/today. Well I am getting off of here for now. Have a good Sunday.

Out of here until Monday.

Well ladies, I am out of here until Monday at the earliest. I am all packed and ready to head on out around noon on Friday. I work until midnight tonight and then I have to grab a few hours of sleep before I get Allie up at 7:00. After that depending on what time Amy is coming to pick me up, I may go back to bed for a few hours. All I need to pack yet is my toiletries tomorrow. I am getting so excited. I really need this weekend away from everyone. Amy and I are headed to a Twilight Movie release party at 11:00 tomorrow night. I probably will wait until I get back home and get it at work. I would get the fuel perks for it if I did wait. So I think I will. If I want to catch a peek at it Amy will have it and we have our laptops to watch it on. So all that is left for me is to get through 4 hours with Chloe, and 8 hours of work. That should be easy. I hope. I work with Cindy tonight, and I need to talk to her about my coordinating job. I am hoping that she is still wanting to use me. But oh well that is something to worry about at 4:00 not at 9:00 am. LOL! Well I need to get going. You all have a wonderful weekend, and I will post pictures when I can!!

2 days to go!

Well yesterday I had CPR training all morning. Today I have to work from 4-12am. Grocery day and watching Chloe is tomorrow, and then Friday is the day!!! Allie is getting so excited for her sleep over with Renee and Chloe, and then getting to sleep over at Papa's house and see Uncle Stephen and Aunt Debbie. They have her blanket and coffee mug, and a 10 gallon aquarium for her 5 new hermit crabs that she got for her birthday from my parents and us. It will be nice to have them all in one tank with lots of room to move, and I can actually set the tank up the way it should be. They can have two swimming bowls and two food bowls if need be, but there will be plenty more room for them. Allie wanted me to start packing her suitcase, so I did that this morning. Her clothes are ready to go as well as her movies. I just need to pack her brothers and sisters in the morning on Friday and then she will be ready to go. I have everything packed but my toothbrush and makeup. I am goign to work on cleaning the house today before I go to work. I would like it somewhat clean when I come home on Sunday. Well going to go. I will post more later. have a good day!
