Lauren's Saturday Sketch

Well we had a really fun weekend my friend Julie and I went to an Oncology review course and had tons of fun. We went out after working 10hours, and driving for 4 to 5 hours, we had a couple of drinks and boy do they fix them strong in Neb.!!!! Just when the night was about over, I saw some people setting in the hot tub that closed @ 10, seeing that it was after 1am, we decided to get our swimsuits and go for a little while, at 2am we went to bed and woke up @ 7am to get the meeting. The speaker was so AWESOME, I didn't even come close to going to sleep!!! After the 9 hour meeting we went shopping, at you guessed it, a scrapbook store and found some sweet stamps that I just used today. We shopped and ate a restaurant and left around 8pm, we should have arrived @ 1 am, but we got a little lost, because I was talking and Julie was listening, so we got home at 3 am....fun, then to the pumpkin patch at 9am the next day and that is always a blast. The rest of the weekend was a blur, eating, going to the store, and going to church, plus picking up and doing laundry. I woke up this am at 5 to do some "projects" however Easton woke up too...so I had to finish them this evening while we caught up on some shows that have been taped....here they are the first was for 2 of my bosses, and the second will become some thank yous and birthday cards using Lauren's Saturday sketch....I used some patterned paper from hobby lobby, I used stamps from stampin up besides the Saturday sketch and that was a set from the store in Neb., I usually use basic colors, pink,brown, silver, white, and pink again

All of the paper is stamping up, except the patterned paper on the bear card, it was clearance at Hobby Lobby and both stamp sets are from stamp in up, the bear card is Under the Stars a new set in the current catalog and the other is a set I have never used that is a retired stampin up hostess set from last year....thanks for looking

I only have a few that I saved so I'll try to down load them again, any tips on picture taking is helpful :) em

I need a break!!!





It's been a very long week!!! Where do I begin, It's been a the week of goodbyes, My dad's sister died and so I made some sympathy cards for his other sisters, then 2 of my co-workers are leaving us so I made some earrings and cards for them the pictures are below. I have some pics of my family at the boat club and of my brother giving driving lessons in to Easton in the driveway...good times. I took some 3 year olds to the zoo and story hour on my day off. We had 2 going away parties..Thurday and on Friday, plus I went to Hobby Lobby 3 times this week and got some AWESOME deals!!! On Sat., after CPR class, I went to the K-State game and that was a blow out, after planning weekend to myself to scrap..why is it that when we have plans to scrapbook it never happens? I had to clean on Sunday and then I went to the park and zoo with my family. I also went to my friend Heather's to her stamp club and made some sweet projects...now, I need to get to bed because work is just a few hours away!!!em

PS. does anyone have some clues on how to take better card pics? I tried them on my stove under a bright light...I guess I need to call Heather...

I've been tagged

My friend Heather tagged me and I'm suppose to tell you 7 things about me that are random or weird...so here they are
1. The heal of the bread is my favorite piece
2. I like to organize and clean for fun
3. I can speak Texas maw-maw ( a language my dad learned in Texas that he teaches to his baseball team to trick the other team and make them mad)
4. I use to show sheep in 4-h
5. I wanted to be a body builder, psychologist, interior designer, optometrist, or professional shopper when I grew up, now I'm a nurse
6. My son is named after a baseball bat (Easton) and my dad's middle is Allen so naturally Easton's is too, my husband told me when we were dating that he wanted that name before we even considered getting married.
7. My husband is the only man that I introduced myself too, he was so hot and I just had to meet him even though my best friend told me he was a player and at the moment in my life I just wanted to date and not be in a serious relationship...I guess god has his own plan!!!

We went to the boat club this weekend so I got no scrap booking/card making done, I stayed up till 3am in the morning with my younger brother just hanging out by the campfire, everyone else had went to bed but we just talked, and talked, and talked...he has just gotten back home from playing for a minor league team of the Detroit tigers, I've really missed him. One other random fact, each of my 3 brothers at one time or another has lived with me, yes my family is really that close!!!! The funnier thing is that my mom and dad only live 15 min. away but we are 3 min. from a Jr. college so my brother's (Noah and Mace) could just run to my home in between class, practice and return to school faster. I was going to really try to get Lauren Meader's sat. sketch done, she was the first person I ever went to that I absolutely loved her stuff she ROCKS!!!, but I took a 4 hour nap instead. Although I don't really know her there are some crazy similarities to our personalities...we'll my son has gotten over being sick he is now really winy....I think he must be growing he has been sleeping alot, but it isn't enough judging by the sound in his wine...I will attempt to tag some one....well..these are my favorite blogs....

hello all,
I am trying this for the first time and i don't know what i am doing....so here goes nothing, or something....my friends are now bloggers and they tell me it's like therapy, we'll see if it's therapy or stressfull. I am doing good to get my pictures to walmart to get delevoped let alone make my on blog and send pics there too....i'm not the typical computer savvy 20-something year old...speaking of which, to day is my birthday and after a morning of shopping my 3 year old son Easton started chilling and running a fever so we quickly ended our shopping and came home, he later threw up on me and kept appoligizing, poor thing as he was laying in his bed he used his little hand and stroked my face and with his red swollen eyes looked at me and said today is your birthday mommy, happy birthday, I love you....made my heart melt.....well I'm going to see where this goes, Later
