heading to florida . . .

again.  :D

but we're hoping to be back in plenty of time for the fourth of july festivities here, so if any of you locals are having cool parties that you'd like me and g to crash just let us know.  :D

good news!  i got four layouts picked up for the october issue of scrapbook trends.  :D

if you get a minute, please stop by and leave a little love for renee's oma.  she's in the hopital.  read the blessings and prayers post.  :D

ok.  here's a couple layouts i've finished.  now i have to get back to packing.  happy 4th all!  :D

i guess i could blog once in a while . . .

in my defense though . . . i HAVE had a summer cold this week . . . and i got it from g who had one last week . . . :P

good things to report . . . summer school is OVER!  YAY!  i have a four day weekend, then inservice wed-fri, then the summer is finally MINE!  :D

i was scraplifted by miley in the mid-month garden at twopeas . . . SO exciting!  :D

and even more exciting . . . i got THREE layouts picked up by CK for their idea annual which will come out in november . . . YAY!  and renee's cuties will be featured in two of them . . . even better!  :D

and i do have a few new layouts to share . . . the first i did with my new poppyink kit . . . the second was a design team assignment at scrap it! . . . and the third was just because . . . :D

hope life has been treating you all well!  :D

dear jann . . .

i won't say that i shouldn't have laughed at you . . . laughing is so much fun . . . and i SO appreciate people who can laugh at themselves . . . luckily, i am one of those people too . . . people who can laugh at themselves . . . <--- this is how my feet appeared on an early morning coke run today . . . and i didn't notice till i was standing in line at mcd's buying g a couple sausage biscuits . . . i just had to laugh . . . and thought you would too . . . yep . . . two mismatched flippies . . . both the right foot . . . too funny . . . :D

in other news . . . the combination of teaching summer school and g's summer cold are exhausting me . . . thank goodness it's the weekend . . . :P

i blame another massive target haul on renee . . . she told me there were $2.78 t's there for g . . . here's g's loot from the trip . . . i will forgive renee for encouraging me in impulse buying, however, because she let me take pics of her cutie son this morning and she's letting me and g lounge in her pool this afternoon . . . heading that way now . . . happy weekend all!  :D

coming soon to a layout near you . . .

flip flop freedom . . .

this is it . . . the layout that started the latest round of impulse buying . . . like i need an excuse . . . ha!  :D

a couple g funnies today . . .

we were at scrap it! and jann came over to say hello to g . . . he casually responded with an oh so politely stated, "you be quiet" . . . oh dear . . . we need to work on manners a bit . . .

then tonight after eating dinner with sherri and michelle, we got some tootsie rolls from the little candy crank machines on the way out . . . g scarfed them down and asked for more to which i had to respond, "they're all gone" . . . he immediately fired back with an "i don't think so" . . . wonder where he's heard that one . . . :D
