A Perfect Summer Day

I made this LO using "A Perfect Summer Day" from Nani @

http://chroniclesofnani.blogspot.com/ She is offering this kit for free if you post a LO from any of her other kits! Head on over and check out her blog. I just love her style of writing, she really has a way with words, and the Monday Mug Shot is my fave! Password is: rosycheeks This pic was taken near the end of the beagle photo shoot, and Lilly was ready for some heavy duty AC!

Checking In

Thought I better check in with ya'll so you wouldn't think I fell off the edge of the earth. I'm about to go absolutely flippin' crazy around here! As if things weren't stressful enough, this stupid podunk town decided to try to pretend to be a big city and went and passed a no smoking ordinance. Now, I have always been a considerate smoker. When I moved into my new office, I had an industrial sized fart fan installed to vent the smoke outside. If I have someone in my office, I don't smoke. But now the city has decided there will be no smoking everywhere, even in the BARS!!! Come on, drinkin' & smokin' just go together! Smokers everywhere need to stand up and demand OUR rights. Even if you are a nonsmoker, you should be concerned about laws such as this being passed. The government is slowly chipping away at our freedom. Okay, I'm climbing down off my soap box now.


I do have a couple of pages in the works, I'm going to try and get home before 7:00 tonight, maybe I can finish up and have a goodie for you tomorrow. Please take note of the Cuss-O-Meter on the top left. One of my faithful readers, "sasa to 6", emailed me a link to this. It checks your blog for cuss words, and evidently Bubbles Babbles is considered clean despite the use of the turd word!


To Jessica: I couldn't email you, there is no address on your blog, but if you will go down a ways to the June Kit, the dolphin is included in the element pack. You can download it and plop him on the page!

Hope everyone has a great day, now I'm going to sneak out the back door and have a smoke! BTW, you have to stand 25 feet away from the door! BS, I say!

The Dolphin Foot Push!

Well, I finally finished this page. It took me a while to decide how to lay it out, I don't do very many "action" type pages. Papers and dolphin from my June kit, I just adjusted the colors to be more pool friendly. Password is: drawers This is another one of those pages you can customize to your liking. I think it would make a great pool page. No long ramble today, the story behind this page is in a previous post, and I am just smooth covered up at work. Everybody say it with me..."Damn you, IRS!"

Get Out Your Shades!

This one is BRIGHT! I used the "Bright Enough For You?" kit from JanniDee http://janniscrapdesigns.blogspot.com/ for this page. The colors are great for summer pages, and I love the safety pin frame!
Lilly's hair is just barely long enough to pull into pigtails, but it looks so cute! The only problem we have is that she wants to pull off her bows and look at them, then wants you to put them back on. Password is: pigtail We will be using the turd word off and on, I figure if I use it everytime, it would kinda lose it's "shock" value. ROTFL!!!
Evidently I need to provide a little more background on Wyatt's day at the gun range. For those that don't know, my son Matt is a police officer. The gun range that they went to is law enforcement only. Most officers have large gun collections, and can possess automatic weapons. So yes, Wyatt did get to shoot a machine gun, and he was extremely well supervised. We are not a bunch of gun totin' turd speakin' heathens down here in Texas! ROTFLPIMP!!!

Red, White & Blue for you!

Here's a page that I whupped up this morning!

I used one of Anita's early kits called "Old Glory" http://nanas-attic.blogspot.com/ Matt took Wyatt to the gun range for the day, so My Girl Shawna and I did some scrapping and had a few pina coladas while they were gone. Password is: turd Wyatt had a really great time, he got to shoot a machine gun for the first time! After we ate, I surprised him with another cake and the Kung Fu Panda Playstation game. He has had a really great birthday week! I showed him the birthday wishes that ya'll left and he says thank you very much.

Want a really good laugh?

No freebie today, but I am going to be a really good girl and hang around the house this long weekend. I plan to get some well deserved rest, go grill some barbeque and make homemade ice-cream for the kiddos and work on some pages. So there very well may be a surprise post this weekend! We are also celebrating Wyatt's eighth birthday. He was born on the first, but that little turd is getting a whole birthday week this year. (See, it really is used as a term of endearment down here! LOL!!!) Yep, we are having a high ole time in the trailer park this week! In the mean time, if you would like a really good laugh, check out Rena's roundup of "southernism's" (is that a word? if not, it should be!) in the comments of "It's My Blog". Vicki (Chickivaney) also has some choice words to contribute to the recent TURD debate. Of course, if you are offended by the recent turd events, don't even look!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day!

Sweet Kiss

I was going through some of my older LO's and came across these. Lilly was just a few days old and Wyatt was just so totally fascinated with her. I love the expression on his face! The paper is called "Old Girl". This was an old freebie from Kim B. The enameled frame is from JanniDee. They are basically a mirror image, but I included both versions in the zip for you. The pickins' are liable to be a might sparse this week around here, I am trying to cram 5 days of work into 4 days, and it is also the end of the second quarter, so there is no relief in sight for me. Password is: sweet I know that we had all pretty much agreed that the passwords should be TURD for the week, but I just couldn't bring myself to assign it to these pages!
