Cards, Cards, Cards,

Today after my DH and I went to my classroom and cleaned and put things on the walls to get ready for the little ones to come back to school, I decieded to go home and creative some cards. I am learning how to create cards so bare with me.I made some card that I thought I would share. The cards are from Valerie Salmon's Card Kits.


This is my favorite!





I love the different colors!

This was a little hard, but I did it!!!! (YES!)

After creating cards I guess I will do some shopping. I bought this quilt from PB and I can not decided if I want the shams to go with it or not. Let me know what you think?

It's almost time

for school to begin. I am ready to go back to work and see all the smiling faces. I picked up my class roll today and I have 19 students in my class. I guess I will have a busy school year. Pray for me that I will be able to have a very peaceful and productive school year. I will truly miss sleeping in and reading everyone blogs like I have done over the summer. It was fun! I guess reading blogs will have to wait until the weekend or late at night after all of my mother and wife duties are completed. I will also be back in school this term completing my master's degree. I can not wait until December and I will be finish!!!!! (smile) I am a little up set because I know that scrapbooking will be put on hole for a while, well that is until December. January 2008 will be a lot of catching up for me. Will until I post again Happy Scrapping!

House on the Market!

Today was a bit strange. My DH and I have been talking about down sizing to a smaller house,but that is all we did was talk about it. Last night we went to look at some Garden Homes a couple blocks over. This morning my DH called owner realtor who handles everything for us and she asked him was we ready to move soon! (LoL) He went on to tell her that we wanted to just see some of the Garden homes today and she said that was great because she had a couple that was interested in our house. Now our house is not on the market, there is no realtor sign in the front yard. The only people who new house serious we were about selling was GOD! ( Think to yourself a min.) After the DH got off the telephone with her I had to ask GOD was this him telling us something because from time to time GOD try and tell us things, but we do not listen. I hope and pray that GOD will help us with this journey and make all the right decision. So we meet the realtor today at 4:00 to see the Garden Homes and for her to see ours. Go in Pray with me that everything works out for the good! Here is a photo of our house now.( It was built in 2006 and we moved in May 2007) Yeah! May 2007

Here is a pic of our house!

Girl Went Shopping!!

I am so excited to be back home from the beach. The DH was so happy to see that we returned home safe. Kyron was so excited to see his dad that he forgot about mommy ( sad face) just kidding. Mommy was happy to see daddy so that he could give her a break. The entire trip Kyron was so attached to mommy that everyone was saying thing like you must be excepting again because he does not want you out of his sight. Well lets just wait and see!!!!! Here are so photos for Kyron on the beach. He did not like the water or the sand at first. I told my sister that I will have to take him back every summer to the beach so that he want be afraid.



That is my Handsome Man! Momma just love him to death!!!!



Spending a lot of time at the beach a girl had to fine a Michael's. After reading Amy's Blog, I had to go an purchase some of the Martha Stewart's Items. I fell in love with all of the stuff. Here are some Pics of some of the things that I did purchase.

Oh, by the way I purchased some of the favorite line of scrap material K& Company and guess who was on the back of one of the packets of paper was Valerie Salman . Michael's also had clearance on Sizzix machine and die cuts . So I had to purchase them. I also had to add to my Clothing Collection. I shopped at Banana Republic, Gap, Liz C. and Hartstring
(For Kyron) and I had to add to my Brighton collection while I was on vacation. I bought a new bangle bracelet

When I returned my DH asked me how much money did I bring home. I told him $1.00 and I am not telling a story. I shopped until I dropped!!!!

Being Creative!

I was so glad that my Valerie Salmon's Card Package arrived last night! I am so ready to begin making all the pretty cards. I will be leaving for the beach in the morning, so I will create when I return. I will post them then. After receiving the package, I realized that I did not have all the materials that I need to create. So being the shop til I drop person that I am. I went shopping today at Hobby Lobby.I was so excited once I entered the store to fine out that my new handy machine (Crop-A-Dile)was still on sale so I continued to shop an purchase all the items that I needed to complete the creative cards.

Handsome Baby Boy!

I thought I would share one of my favorite scrap pages that I created of my little boy. I am wanting to finish his album before school starts back. August 4th will be here very soon and I have to go back to work. Enjoy!

Remember the Ritz

My girlfriend Leslie leaves in Atlanta, GA and she always receive e-mails about crazy stuff, but the e-mail she sent today was one of the most breathe taking e-mails I have ever received. Take a look for yourself. Sit back and relax and enjoy!!!!!

Weekend of Love!

I had such a nice weekend. My cousin got married at a center in Cropwell, Al. The wedding was beautiful and everyone was at this event. My husband and son attended the wedding with me. My 14 month old boy was very well behaved. Everyone was happy to see him. I wish I had some pictures to show, but I did not take any beause the wedding was by candle light and I could not really see their faces. That Saturday morning it rain, and rain, and rain. I thought to myself that the wedding was not going to be nice with all the rain that was coming, but I was wrong it turned out to be a wonderful event.

I was glad to know that my mother and her sisters were on their way back home from a week long trip to North Carolina, Washington, and New York. This was their annual sister vaction that they take every year.

I wished I could have went with them, but they did not want me to go (sad face) if was for sisiters only. I am happy to say that week after next we are takeing the kids to the beach in South Carolina. Can't wait. I will keep you posted.
