Love

I have had... well a day let's just put it that way. Love has been on my mind today good love, bad love, painful love, happy love all kinds of love. Love is HARD, i mean real love at least for me it is. It's easy to love when when your up, it's easy to love kind people, it's easy to love beautiful things, of course love encompasses all of these things but love also encompasses not so lovely things it is so much harder to have love and have compassion for things we don't understand for people who don't show their love as we want them to. Loving these individuals is the true test of love and compassion and understanding. I know it sounds like I am rambling you are probably thinking why is she rambling on about love, well the answer is I'm not sure I just had this on my mind. I am having a lovey dovey kind of day. Have a good night.

Amazing Movie

I just finished watching the most amazing movie The Courageous Heart Of Irena Sendler, this story is about a Polish Catholic social worker that saves over 2500 Jewish children during WWII. Let me tell you I spend the last 2 hours crying, this young woman had courage to do the right thing amid the atrocities committed by the Nazi's. I try to avoid watching movies like this not because I am indifferent but because it's painful to watch, it hurts to see what people throughout history have had to endure. It makes the meaningless drivel that I complain about seem completely obsolete and ridiculous. On this note if you are looking for a good read you should check out Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl, he was a Holocaust survivor who lost his entire family during the war. At times I need these kinds of reminders, the kind that make you stop and look at what is truly important. Have a good night.

I think I am going to need Copics

I am not the type of scrapper who everytime a new product comes out I am the first one waiting in line to buy it. Nope I am the wait and see kind of girl, I like to see the full spectrum of what the products can do. I have to see something and "Say, Hey I want to try that!" Well up until now I have not been that excited about the Copic markers, yes they are beautiful and I hear worth every penny BUT until today I have seen not seen them used on many layouts, it APPEARED to me to be a card thing, I'm not into making cards maily because I'm not good at it. Anywhoo I saw this tutuorial posted by Suzy Plantamure on the CK Blog, check it out here. So cool so now I am thinking I need some Copics. I better start saving my pennies I should be able to buy "1" in a few months lol. Enjoy the tutorial!!

I'm SICK!!!

I'm sick and I can't be sick!! This is so very frustrating but what can you expect after you children have sneezed, coughed, and yes puked (is that spelled right?) on you. Ahhh the joys of motherhood, I was lucky enough to side step the germs for several weeks, but alas they caught up with me. Earlier today I thought I would take some Tylenol DAYTIME cold medicine to help me get some work done, well it was silly of me to assume that the DAYTIME cold meds would be in the DAYTIME box, yes very silly indeed. So after I swallowed I realized i took NIGHTIME cold meds and laid into my son about putting things were they belong blah blah blah, I tried to go back to work, fast forward to an hour later . . . zzzz ZZZZ zzzz ZZZZ. Yup I crashed HARD, oh well I probably needed the rest anyhow. So not as productive as I would have liked, Thank goodness the kids all go back to school on Monday YAY!!

TUTU Cute

I finally scrapped the pictures of this adorable Tutu, i just love bright colors and decided that the New Bo Bunny Love Shack Paper was perfect for this Layout. Like my flowers? These are my cheap Dollar Tree finds, I still have a ton left over from last year LOL. I went a little crazy buying Dollar Tree Flowers, I have gotten rid of most the only ones I have left are the ones I still think are pretty. I forgot to add the date, I will do that in a bit! So thanks for looking I am off to go design for my upcoming classes!

New Toy!!

YAYYYYY It came today my SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot) Software, I had been hesitant to purchase this but so glad I did. I have been playing with the computer program ( I haven't cut anything yet) I need to purchase the USB Cord. Seems easy enough to use the real test will e when I cut out some of my favorite detailed fonts. So far my thoughts on the SCAL is that it's another great tool for scrapbooking, I love using fonts and this is going to open up a ton of fun possibilites. Will it stop me from buying cartridges? Not likely. I like the ease of using my Cricut anywhere even the Expressions, it's size doesn't keep me from taking it to crops or classes. I will post a sample later tonight. Have a good day!

NO INTERNET

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that's how I felt about not having internet for a few days. My modem died on Tuesday the little bugger just stopped working, luckily AT & T send a new one out rather quickly. So after a few adjustments I am back on the internet, (sigh) how i missed it sooooo much. In all honesty it was a good thing, I spent time doing things that I should normally be doing but don't because I am on the computer. So I am off to surf the net, have a good night!
