don't cry over spilled milk.....right??

Ok, but what if I WANT to??? UGH! Unloading groceries today and the milk fell out of the truck and I swear it exploded all over me!! So, when did they install bombs into gallons of milk anyway?? It was quite a mess! It hit the drive which is rock(ok mostly dirt) and so I had a nice milk/dirt/rock smoothie all over my legs and my new shoes!! This after a rather stressful morning anyway. And so yes, I felt like crying over spilled milk. Anybody got cookies to go w/ that??

one more to show off!

ok here's another LO I did today...I'm on a roll....I'm scrap happy! heehee!!! I used a template( it gives you the basic outline and you fill in w/ your own papers , embellishments and pics of coarse!) The template from http://kyliemoore.typepad.com
the papers and flowers are from Tiff Tillman at Little Dreamer Designs.

My adorable niece Elizabeth

yep, I used another QP for this, I know I am such a cheater today!! LOL anyway, the QP is
Created by Ellie Lash. she has awesome stuff and is listed in my favorite sites!

My nephew Wesley

I love this page!!! I used a QP by LLIELLA (Allie Llacer) from http://scrapgoo.lliella.com

monkey business

more Amelia pages! Done w/ a kit called monkey baby by Tina Raparanta from http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com. Really cute kit !!! and I know you have already seen the pics but I figured I'd scrap them up and show them off!! I have done good too, I actually did like 5 pages today and got them printed !! woohoo! That's a big deal for me to actually get them printed too!! LOL

scrap LO

I used a QP created by Kelley Mickus and distibuted by All Things Visual and then just added the pics and the quote and journaling. It's a quick fix!! ( a QP for my nonscrappy friends is a quick page where most of the stuff is already there! and LO means layout) It's not as fun as making your own pages but like I said, makes for a quick fix when you want to scrap something!! Or ya know, feeling lazy! LOL!!!

smile in my heart

another page I made today using a kit called Smile In My Heart by Beth Nixon.

Teddy bear wrestling!

Just wanted to show off this LO I made today!!! I used a kit called renewel from Little Dreamer Designs, by Michelle Coleman. I love her kits!!! (don't those papers just make ya happy??) And I started w/ a great freebie template from Oscraps by Wendy W. cool huh??

I had alot of fun w/ this page!! Just wanted to share!!

Death Dogs & the Lawn Mower of Doom!

Nothing says "Back to school" like a backpack w/ skulls and poodles on it!! Yep, we found the perfect backpack - which is essential for starting a new year. It's her fave color and looks really cool! we saw it at Target and she was like "That's it! That's the one I want!" it is really pretty , then I looked at it and I was like " skulls and poodles, interesting combo!" and she said " it's death poodle! beware!" So we got a good laugh and got the bag! I have to admit the black and white part does remind me of rub ons or stamps, something to do w/ scrapbooking! ( It's a sickness I know. )

And onto the lawn mower of doom.......sigh.....I went to mow today and as I was mowing along my merry way, the mower suddenly got slower, made a big BANG and started squealing and then I was engulfed in ALOT and I mean ALOT of smoke!!! It was crazy!!! It was making this awful noise and the smoke was just rolling! I was like " Oh no it's gonna blow!" and jumped off and sprinted for the house thinking if it actually caught fire I was screwed and would be calling 911. Scott of coarse isn't here, he's working out of town today. I called his friend , he asked me if I went to see if it would start again, are you kidding me? I am too damn scared to go back out there!! So after laughing at me he gave me his best diagnosis and then I called Scott. What should I say?? "hey honey, do you know how much I looove you?? I blew up your mower!" So I just told him how nice it was of me to try and mow the yard but something happened.....so I told him my frightful story and he just laughed at first, before the realization set in that we now have to buy a new mower. All Megan had to say was " Cool!! you really blew up the mower????" To which I had to explain that it's not literally blown into pieces in the backyard! Then it was less exciting. Well.....it was enough excitement for me!!!

check out the funny font video on her blog!! heehee! It's that stupid humor that always gets me....

bloggity blog!

wow look at me go today! LOL ! I posted more than once AND changed up my whole page! woot woot! Oh which reminds me....someone asked me why my blog is named Just Scrap Happy. well it's not saying "oh hey just scrap the happy stuff....." cause ya gotta scrap whatever you want, the good the bad and the ugly if you want to! Nor does it mean you have to be happy to scrap, cause sometimes when you are blue it's therapeutic to scrap! What it means is sometimes when I get all caught up in a sort of scrappin frenzy(hee hee) I'll say " Oh, I'm Just Scrap happy today! " Kinda like slap happy I guess...... so there ya go! (or today I could be considered "blog happy!"

But I suppose you can interpret the meaning of just scrap happy anyway you like!!

OH!! I got a surprise today!! My Dad called and said he was coming over...he brought me a present!! (I'm doing the "I got a present dance!!") he saw this paper cutter on TV and thought I would like it for scrapbooking!! It has the lit up back so you can see what you are cutting better and all kinds of different blades for straight or curvy or zig zaggety lines! woohoo! It's cool!! I almost cried! so sweet of him! So yes, I have been singing and bopping around " my daddy got me a present my daddy got me a present! heehee. I know, sometimes I act 5 instead of 35 but oh well! sometimes, not always, but sometimes 5 is way more fun!
Oh yeah and guess what else??? Megan's friend is spending the night again and there's a chance we might have her all w/e. Oh my I will be slap happy from sleep deprivation! ha ha! No, I'll put away my 5 yr old ways now and come back to my reality of 35 and if I have to use the mean mommy stuff again I will darnit! Scott of coarse is working like a DOG and hasn't been home and I doubt I see him until sunday . sigh..... oh my gosh it is almost midnight!! Better get the hoodlems to calm down a bit.....do I have benedryl??? hmmmmm...just kidding! :-) Actually they are playing quite nicely so hopefully they are worn out a bit already. remember those days?? Having a friend over and staying up late? even after it was lights out and all in bed? You'd still sit there and whisper and giggle and maybe play barbies or sneak a snack? good times....good times.....
ok, sorry I took a trip down memory lane there...Heather and Tina, you know what I am talking about! remember my barbie 's were fancy and had a pool! (mom's big green tupperware bowl!)
ok, seriously now I better go!!
Thanks for reading my babble if you made it to the end here, congrats!! No prizes will be awarded unfortunately , but if you were bored it gave you something to read. :-)

Ang & me

Ok here's a page I figured I might as well show off too!!
I got this kit from Little Dreamer Designs , it's called wildflower, from

miriam@limabeandesigns.com.

I love this kit!!! I think the page turned out pretty too. :-)

Tina & me

just a page I did today of Tina & me! I used a kit from
Little Dreamer Designs Collaborative Kit
Hullabaloo
created by Lauren Reid.

It didn't come w/ the arrows, I made them in PSE3 w/
the papers from the kit. Just a funky little page!
Thought I'd share! :-)

Sleepover?

Ok.....so Megan had her friend Abbey over last night for a sleepover. Altho, calling it a sleepover would imply there's sleeping involved! So a stay-over. I had to put on my mean mommy face and use my mean mommy voice at 5 AM!!!!!!! Ugh! Are you kidding me??? I threatened a good long grounding if they didn't go to bed NOW. Especially since I had told them at 1 they needed to go to bed. Anyway the look on my daughter's face was pure fear and I had to try not to laugh. Yes I was angry because I was awaken at 5 AM by fits of laughter & came out to find the LR trashed w/ toys, slim jim wrappers and kool aid bursts. BUT I also remember doing the same thing at her age!! My mom was even brave enough to let me have slumber parties quite often where we'd try and stay up til dawn! ( I've allowed 1 so far and that my friend was good enough to last me for a long long time!) Anyway, I got over being mad after they finally got settled and apologies were said and promises to pick up the mess were made. I figure this is life and maybe a little payback from my mom! Nothing's broken, ruined or missing. It's summer and I didn't have to get up and go to work. They are peacefully sleeping now and I have a quiet house for the moment. So no harm done I suppose. Plus it got me thinking about all my late nighters as a kid and all my childhood friends and our goofy things we did. In fact...some of those childhood friends are still my friends today and how wonderful is that??????

But maybe the next stay-over should be at Abbey's house.

Little Miss Millie!

yep, that's her, the baby who dissed me. LOL!!! isn't she cute??? She'll smile and coo at me as long as I don't pick her up & hold her longer than a minute! :-) I'll win her over eventually!!!

cousins & the gator

just sharing some pics! Gotta love riding around on that gator! It's so much fun!!! I can even stay on it now! LOL! I don't have any pics of me on it, not that I would post them if I did!!! heehee!

busy busy!

wow, finally getting the chance to sit down and write. phew, been busy! Last week my SIL and her 3 kidlets were over and spent the night...that was fun!!! :-) Altho, I have to admit just about EVERY time I went to hold that baby niece of mine she would cry !! I couldn't believe it! I'm usually awesome w/ babies.....but not this one! I lost my touch! she hates me!! Ok, yes over reacting a tad bit there......babies sometimes just cry for everyone but their mama. Still, it's a kick in the ole "Aunt ego." sigh.......... oh well, I did get to have a little girlie time w/Elizabeth in the pool. she's a hoot! Meg was a wee bit jealous sharing mama tho. (I have been TRYING to post pics on here of the kids but can't get it to work today. Try again later. )
Oh and Fri night and all day Sat I went to a crop w/ Angie.....had A LOT of fun! Thanks Angie for some girl time , scrapping & Starbucks!!!! Much needed break from reality & darn good coffee. :-) You rock sistah!

Then sun was a little family get together w/ dad. Nice to see my sisters and their posse's! it is still very weird being over there w/o mom there. I know we all miss her terribly, especially dad. One day at a time right???
Ok before I make myself cry thinking about all that, better change the subject!!

it's almost back to school time! Less than 3 weeks!! where did the summer go?? Goes so so SO fast! Meg will be back to school and I will be back to work dealing w/ screaming kids. oh the joy.
I get so spoiled being able to be a SAHM during the summer. Makes it hard to go back but gotta do whatcha gotta do! :-) it's not like it's ALL bad.........really..........
Was thinking we should have a back to school party but not sure. we'll see....
anyhoo.....have a great day, thanks for checking in w/ me, & I will try to post some pics!! tootles!
