I missed my own BLOGOVERSARY!!

Blogoversary!!!  I can't believe I missed it!  I must take a few minutes each day and come check out my own blog!  Thats if I can pull myself away from FaceBook!  I've become addicted to Treasure Mania, FarmVille, FarmTown and YoVille!  Its just me and the dog, so I can do what I want with my time.  Actually it feels really good at this time in my life to just worry about me and of course my Boo-Bear!  Happy Blogoversary to me!

Best Buds

This is Dominick and Davey Jr. riding around the court in Davey's motorized car. The darned thing has a radio!!! As you can see Dominick loved it. Everything was going along nicely until Davey almost hit a parked car........that was the end of Dominick's ride!!! I entered this one in the Anything/Everything FALL Challenge over at Scrapbook.com

Our LITTLE Punkin

Steve and Lisa took me to Cypress last weekend. I haven't been down there for 7 years. It was a much needed trip to visit my family. My Aunt Cleo and Uncle Bud look wonderful. I swear we keep getting older and they stay the same. Rhonda and Gary took Lisa, Dominick, Karilyn, Davey Jr and myself to the Irvine, CA Pumpkin Patch. It was sure a cute place. Dominick had a great time. I entered this layout in the October Color Challenge over at Scrapbook.com. We were to use the colors PURPLE, GREEN & ORANGE.

I finally got some scrap time in!! I entered this one in the October Negative Space and the No Patterned Paper Challenges over at Scrapbook.com. I bought Dominick this little pony riding toy for his birthday and he just loves it!!

Hello to all my blogging friends!

I've been a really bad blogger lately!! I've been really busy with family on the weekends. That seems to be my only time to scrapbook or make a card.

I was able to get my new scrapbook studio all put together this weekend with the help of Lisa. Thank you sweetie-pie for taking the time to help me. I couldn't have done it without you. And thanks to our little Dominick for taking such a long nap!!!

Now that I have a a nice neat, organized place to work........I should start creating real soon!! So watch for new stuff.

My goal is to go blog hopping the next couple of days to say hi to all of you! I miss seeing your work! I'm sure you all have tons of stuff for me to see!

Dominick's 1st Birthday!

What a fabulous 1st BIRTHDAY PARTY!! Our little Dominick looked so darned cute in the tie his mommy bought him from Me&Matilda.etsy.com. And did ya notice he didn't get cake and icing all over his face! Gramma is really worn out today, but it was sure worth it! Dominick has so many family and friends that love him to pieces!! Especially his gramma deedee!! Oh yeah, his mommy and Melissa made his cake. They did an awesome job, it was the first time they ever used fondant!! Good job girls!

I finally sat down and scrapped a couple of days ago. It sure felt good. I have been working on a soccer banner for my granddaughters team. It took up all my spare time. But its done and now I can scrap or make a card or two. I just love this photograph of Mia. I've been wanting to scrap it for some time now. I finally found the time to do it.

I started my calendar for 2010

I bought this calendar a couple of weeks ago and decided I might as well start working on it. I really don't like working in order, so why would I start with January....hehehe!!! October just seemed to be the month to work on today! I knew right where this photo was, so thats probably why I started with this month first. I'm sure its going to take me until 2010 to finish it!!

Super Sketchy Sunday

Today at 365 Cards was to use the above sketch! This was a great sketch to get me back in the mood of making cards. I've been missing in action for weeks now. I've actually been really busy with family this summer. I hope you all are having a great summer too!

Here Comes Trouble

Whoo-hoo! I'm so happy that I finally had some time to sit and scrap. I started this layout at the beginning of the week and finished it up just now. Dominick just started standing and walking behind his lion. He is just so cute.

I'm wishing all of you a very happy and safe Independence Day!!

I'VE BEEN MISSING IN ACTION AROUND HERE!

Rhonda

Me and Dominick

I had a wonderful visit from my cousin Rhonda this past weekend. We haven't seen each other for almost 3 years. We had a great time. We always do. I haven't been making cards or scrapping much lately. I am really starting to miss it. So maybe this week sometime I will get my mojo back. And I must make some time to visit my blog friends!
