Creativity

Hey!!! I have something to share today... I am very proud of this. I created it all by myself. I hope you likes too!

So.... the story goes... I have become single again after 10 years (boo) and I was tired of the whole... fishing, hunting, nature crap on my walls... I wanted something new and different... something that would bring all the colors in my living room together instead of it all clashing...

I came up with this Idea... all I did is buy canvas at the craft store (bogo btw) and came home... went through all my paper (wow is there alot) and picked paper that had the colors that I wanted. Then I proceeded to RIP them up into pieces. I aranged them (yea i know... doesn't look aranged... thats the whole point tho... right?), glued them down (make sure to glue well) and Modge podged them...

VOILA! Home decor at a fraction of the cost from a retailer.... Woot Woot... off to make something for my bedroom now... stay tuned!

Hard Habits...

So this blogging everyday thing is harder than I thought it would be. I used to blog 3 times a day (well when you have like 6 blogs it keeps  a person busy) and loved every minute of it. Now I can't find the words. Hum... alright...

I am so addicted to this facebook game called CASTLEVILLE . omg... I can't stop playing it. I held out for many many years and never played those games because I knew... as soon as I started... well... ADDICTION. (very sad :(  I know)

I miss Ryan today. For those of you actually reading this Ryan is my SOULMATE! However, after 10 years we decided that we couldn't live with each other. NOT out of lost love, but for other reasons entirely. SO.. Sumtimes there will be random thoughts about him I am sure.

On a happier note. I am crafting some super cute home decor items. Can't wait to post sum pics. I hope they turn out like the vision in my head.

Well ta-ta for now... I am off to do my morning excercises... yes... new year resolutions.... that I am keeping this year!

C-ya Lates!

Hello!

Wow! 2012 Who would have thought back in 1999 when the world was going to end that we would be welcoming 2012. Happy New Year everyone! My New Years Resolution (well ONE of about 10) is to use this blog as my online journal. I am going to try and write everyday. Even if it is only one sentence, everyday! :)

Whuts ur New Years Resolution? I know alot of people say "I am going to lose weight." Which is totally awesome, however, they change 5 things at one time and get burnt out too fast. I say... Change ONE thing in your diet and that's it for 2 months. Then change something else... like start exercising 30 minutes daily. One small change at a time produces long lasting change! Yippee!

Well I am off to watch Robin Hood (mmmm... love me sum Russell Crowe) have a great day ya'll.  You never know. I may be back sooner than you think. Cuz thats my prerogative as a Princess. I do what I want!

One of those dayzzzz

Have  you ever had one of THOSE days? You know the ones where nothing goes right.... I started a new job today.... well... not exactly new. I still work for the school district, however, instead of the nice and slow pace of an elementary I am at a High School now. Can I just tell you.... WOW! It is sooooo much different. They have main line, pizza line, fast food line, salad line... then they have the Ala Carte down the hall... and another little nifty place with more fried food... It is so much to remember... I think once I get used to it i'll be fine... but all the "your the new girl" crap gets to me... You know... when you start a new job.... and you have to have help cuz you don't have a clue... so your slower... less efficient... your the one that everybody is telling what to do... they want to drop their work onto you .... but.... I know this game! Then after all that "new" stuff today... I have to come home to a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old.... OMG! I decided quite a few years ago that ONE child was enough for me.... He is now 15...*ugh* but I am now nanny to my nephew and niece.... I have to say those days.... when they are into EVERYTHING..... drives me absolutely batty! I don't have the patience to deal with it...  WHY?  why do they have to destroy everything?
So between all of that and my lack of sleep *worried about the new job* I am exhaused! But do you think I can go to bed???? Nope! Here I sit... on my blog.... where home is home....
Thank you all for listening... what would I do with out my friends? Hopefully tommorrow will be a better day!
Scrap Crazy Everyone!
Sabrina
P.S.  My DH has gone fishing for a few days.... thank you lord... therefore giving that side of my brain a rest! LOL... all you married gals know what I mean....

P.S.S. Thought I would share a pic with you all today!

HOPPY EASTER!

Baby Peyton has Arrived!!!!

Well those of you who read my blogs have probably picked up on the fact that my BFF was having a baby.... He has arrived... and he is sooooooo cute! This boy came out just a screammin'.... lungs of steel I'll tell ya.... I am so excited and happy for this family... they waited a very long time to get this little angel! So.... without further adoo....

My BFF did great in her delivery... everything went perfect.... she is such a wonderful lady!

Congratulations!!!!! Adrianne, Sam and Dakota...

MMMM....MMMM.... GOOD!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Today is my first day of SPRING BREAK! Let me tell you... I have done NOTHING. So I figured I better get on and bring you all up to date!  First let me tell you... Jason Aldean.... mmmmm.mmmm..

Awesome in concert! However, there was no beer garden at the Holt Arena.... so that was kind of a bummer.  But the concert was a blast... so who can complain?

Luke Bryan was the opening act... mmmm..mmmmm ... that little boy can shake it! lol

I have NEVER gone to a concert where they let you take cameras! I so wish I would have known. So I paid this girl that was sitting in front of me $10.00 to email me some pics.... yea... still waiting on those... but she looked like an honest girl! Well if I ever get those pics I'll post sum!

Crazy Scrapper Excited about SPRING

Yup! I changed my blog again! I am so excited for SPRING! I love when everything starts to grow again... beautiful flowers, grass, trees. We are hoping to plant a garden this year... mmmm... fresh veggies.

As the days get warmer I can go CAMPING! Trips to new destinatioins, which means new scenery, adventure, and fun with the family. Our family also loves to cook in the dutch oven over an open fire... I don't know why but the food just tastes so good.

Spring also means its almost vacation time for me... I work for the school district so the end of May starts my summer vacation! Woot Woot! I can't wait... I need to get away.

Spring and Summer also mean... TONZ of new pics! Pics to scrap! You all probably know by now I am a Crazy Scrapper! Love it. I love it so much I started a challenge blog... Cuttlebug Blog... where I spend alot of my time. :) If you are having an "inside day" and you are a Crazy Scrapper, come on by and join a challenge. You never know, maybe you will win the fabulous prize from our sponsor. I also have Cricut Blog for all things cricut. I have become a Blogging maniac!

Well I had better run... the sun is shining today... wanna get some yard work done! So thank you for comming by... leave some love when you go.... and come back soon!

P.s. I just want to share... I am going to Jason Aldean this sunday! I am way excited about that too! I haven't been to a concert in like 10 years... I'll let you know how great it was!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Good hump day morning to you all! Its St. Patricks Day so I thought I would post and tell everyone not to forget your GREEN! Well, unless you want to be pinched... ;)

Paper Addiction

Ok, I will admit it... I am totally addicted to paper! I have miles and miles of paper and yet I went to M's the other day and couldn't walk out without .... yes.... more paper. You know you always have to buy 2 sheets too because you use one and then think its sooooo beautiful I should save it for a special occasion. So yes, I have a whole drawer full (packed) with "special occasion" paper. I tell myself "self- don't cave... you don't need this paper... you have plenty at home" and in the end the paper seems to jump into my basket and come home with me.  So as I sit here telling the whole world... YES.... I am an ADDICT. Thats the first step to recovery... right?  Hummm... secretly....maybe I don't want to recover.

Birthday cards

I have a friend at work who asked me to make 2 birthday cards for her. Here is what I came up with.

This one is for the Grandaughter turning 17. Her favorite colors are pink and brown (yay I love pink and brown). And she is into what most 17 year old girls are into... Phone...Driving...Shopping. I thought this card very befitting a 17 year old girl.

Recipe:

Paper: Bazzill Swiss dots (brown background), Bazzill Bling (pink layer)

Images: PC Hug Bug

Flowers : Prima

Ribbon: offray

Ink: chalk box (dk brown)

Bling from stash

Brads: from stash ( I think they are doodlebug)

The second card is for the Grandaughter who is turning 14 year old and is totally into being a rodeo queen. Her favorite color is blue.

You can't tell from the pic but I used my atyou spica pens (from crazyscraps) to add a little glitter to the pics. I think it is just the right amount of shimmer for a queen!

Recipe:

Paper: Lt blue cs (background), dk brown cs (brown layer)

Cuttlebug Embossing folder : D'vine Swirls (background)

Images: PC Hug bug

Flowers: Prima

Ribbon: Offray (brn w/ bl), Micheals brand (rope-brn, pk, blu)
