Two beach-y pages

I was able to get some personal scrapbooking done this week and really enjoyed it. I have started to realize I like to go maybe too simple, but I'm getting there I think. I really enjoy one of the pages and the other is ehhh... ok. But I couldn't find the right inspiration layout and I'm a whole year behind on scrapbooking. Eeeeks!

Wausau Creative Collection Textures in white - The blue and orange are pages out of a 12x12 pack I have had for a while now Complete Boy, my minds eye - Circles are out of K&Co Amy Butler designer paper - Stickers are Making Memories, Great Escape - Lettering and circles are from Cricut's American Alphabet

Unpacking goodies

Thought I'd share this little picture with you today. I made it last night when I wasn't quite tired enough to sleep last night and I had unpacked all my scrapbooking goodies. Two things I was really super glad to find. 1. my vinyl. 2. my cutter for card stock that scores. Overjoyed with both discoveries I had to cut some white card stock out for cards and decided to use some black vinyl and one of my cartridges on my expression 2 to make something for my vanity mirror.
After doing all that I decided to use some of my MS glitter and embellish some cards that I had already made and by that time I was getting silly so I decided to go over and lay down in bed. But I wanted to share with you what made my Sunday night a joy. Hope your having a wonderful day!

Moving is entirely no fun at all!

Well, we have moved to our new house. And all I have to say right now is uuuugh I don't like this moving thing one bit. I would prefer to sit on the chaise and read a book. Well, ok... I can't say I did too much. The movers picked everything up and they are moving things out of the pods into the house. But packing and unpacking is not my idea of fun. I mostly have the house unpacked and now I have no office but one of my amazing relatives might be able to make me a desk that fits into my bedroom and I can work easily from that.
Most of all I am happy that I am back in Pa and I have my chaise and my scrapbooking stuff back. Can you imagine, I spent an hour last night sorting stickers? Lols. I haven't even crocheted since the first night we were here. Too much to get done. But my cousins did come down the day that the movers were moving everything in and helped watch my son and when the movers left they helped to unpack. I am blessed to have a good family. Last night I put pictures on the walls and it made it feel even more like home. Next looking for a kitty, but no rush on that one. I want to find the one that is meant for me and my family. So shelter online hunting I go at night when I need something to look at when I can't sleep and want to smile and look at all the cuties.
My Love took me and my son and his son to see Transformers 3 yesterday. It was really good but super long. Thank goodness we all made through it well. I am very glad my little red head likes going to the movies. Only confirmed that he indeed is my son. (yes, sometimes in this terrible 2-3 I sometimes wonder where my sweet son went) ... hmmmm, what else have I been doing? Not much, just unpacking. I do know that when I get out all of my scrapbooking stuff I am going to cut out some birds to go on my vanity mirror because I think it would make the space look cool. I have a small vanity built into the master bedroom and I think who ever the contractor was who thought up that and put a huge closet behind it understood his wife/ girlfriend. I'd like to meet him and hug him.

^  my new sign in the kitchen. I love lattes and the fact that the sign was a dollar didn't help either!
Happy Fourth everyone, this is the first year that I get to show my son sparklers, this should be interesting for sure. Be safe and have lots of fun!!

A belly ache and shopping adventure

Yesterday we got back from a little three day trip with my Love and it was nice to be in a hotel and just lay around if we didn't want to do anything. And we went out to dinner and saw Thor in 3D. There was major thunderstorms going on with heavy rain so bad it was hard to see the road in front of you on the way down. We got there safe thou and relaxed and got to be with one another and relax. ( I asked to go to Joann fabrics but he laughed at me, tee hee )
 But today didn't start out so good with me having a headache, then a belly ache, and my two year old going from one thing to another and making me want to rip out my hair in chunks. But somehow I got through.- But not before I went to wallyworld for the pepto tabs and you know I had to go into the scrapbooking section to see if there was something new. Today might have ended up with me having some chewy pepto tabs, some chocolate Haagen-Dazs and cutting paper for the thank you cards that I am making to sell. I think I will be ok after all.
There wasn't anything new but they were having a really nice sale on some old stock and I got the above pictured things for waaaaay cheaper than I regularly would have gotten them for. I was really looking for the new Love You A Latte lite cartridge but it wasn't to be found there. And the one that I just got was my first lite cartridge. I like that it wasn't eighty bucks and that they have started to carry them at Walmart. Makes my life a little easier when I want to find something to make on the fly, especially for a holiday or something. Can't wait to show you the other things I have to put up on here, but for tonight and my first post I think that will be ok. :)
I hope everyone else is having a nice and relaxing night!
