SSS hop into love...

welcome to scrap and stamp's "hop into love" blog hop. i was asked to come back and help out for the hop, so i hope that you will also join us. my lo is "we love our crazy quinn". quinn is always doing crazy things and some of these things have been caught on film...like the big heart shape hickey on his chest. he took an old racquetball that was broken in half, suctioned it to his chest and WA-LA his first hickey. the second photo is of quinn wearing his underwear over his pj's and doing a little jig for us. the third photo is a regular one....spreading legos all over his room, for days. as a toddler he shoved one of those little "cannons" from the fisher price castle up his nose. yes, scott was out to sea for this one too. that was fun getting that thing out. i wish i had that one on film, but i don't...

supplies: teresa collins extreme boy from junkitz, tim holz grungeboard, mm scrapbook paint,
mm alphabets, pti journal stamps and technique tuesday flourish stamps.

for my stamping, i stamped technique tuesday flourishes on the skull and heart. i stamped the word remember from pti's journaling stamp set. one of my faves for scrapbooking.

you should be arriving here from pamela's blog and your next stop is boni's blog...and if you are totally lost and have no idea what i am talking about, run on over to scrap and stamp and start from the beginning...it's worth it!!

so here are the rules:

use this sketch, theme is "love" and you MUST have a stamped element somewhere on your lo. i could not get this clip and ribbon element to work on my page so i left it off.

last but not least, how to get some free loot...

• leave a comment on EVERY blog
• complete the sketch b4 the hop is over on february 7th, midnight CST
• become a new follower of SSS
• i will also be drawing a name from the comments left on MY blog, for a RAK. no international shipping, sorry.
  

enjoy the hop and have a super weekend!!

where does the time go?

here's another lo for scrapfriendzy. i did 32 lo's for their little sketch party, so you are going to be looking at these for a few more days. lol i have tons of old photos in the 3 1/2 x 5 size so this sketch was perfect to get rid of several. think i will do one for quinn too....my good friend, carol was just named to scrapfriendzy's DT. CONGRATS!! she totally deserves it, her lo's rock!!

quick post tonight, brock and i are off to the HS to hear a presentation for classes that get him college credits....can you believe it? college. i feel old and i feel like time flew by. my brock is dating, wanting his driver's license, thinking about winter formal, wanting to make varsity soccer, think about college, deciding on which classes to take for his junior year...and he's taller than me. take a walk over to my project life to see a photo of him and his girl.

wow! where did the time go?

made with love...

here's another lo i did with a sketch from scrapfriendzy. i did manage to get all 31 sketches done and one of the bonus sketches. i have another album almost filled up. i am pretty excited to have so much done. i used Cosmo Cricket Early Bird for my page and the lace is from joann's.

i am off of here to go ride the elliptical machine..think i will make some cookies today.

happy groundhog day!!

friday finally...

BBBRRRRR it's friggin cold here today....10' with a wind chill of -15'. the wind is horrible!! the dogs and i still walked our 2 miles. i read once that you burn 40% more calories exercising in the cold...and i'm all about burning extra calories without trying!!!

for this lo...i used another sketch from scrapfriendzy. the sketchathon is almost over and i have managed to keep up, which is very cool. i have used up quite a bit of paper here lately...i'll have to buy lots more at convention this year. i bought my vendor tickets yesterday. scott is going to take me this year, cuz my friend isn't scrapping right now. so i will have a "bagcaddy" this year...lol. he can bond with all the men working the booths for their wives.

i used more of the baby boy line from basic grey for this lo of baby quinn. he was so damn cute when he was younger. see the 3rd shot? that's one of those bathtub seats you suction to the bottom of the bathtub...he was such an active baby that i would "stick" him to the counter in order for me to do dishes or cook. he was into everything...he still is.

so on wednesday night, i left here to go pick up quinn from swimming and i get to the corner of my street to turn onto main street and i see this guy and 2 dogs to the left. one of the dogs has managed to slip out of his collar, i waited to see if he was going to need help catching the dog. i didn't want him to be hit by a car. the man gets him on the leash then puts the dog to the ground and whips him in the face with his own leash. i got out and yelled at him to stop. he cursed at me and i told him i was calling the cops, he cursed some more and he walked by me. he couldn't even look at me in the eyes. i called the police and reported him for animal abuse.
i am still very upset about this. i wake up with that dog's face in my head every morning. i feel like i let him down and didn't do enough. i look for that guy every day. it's so hard for me to understand why someone would do this. i adore my pets. i would never hurt them.

have a drink tonight, it's finally friday...

boys and toys...

just for the record, quinn's room still looks like this, except it's legos and dirty clothes...this is another lo i did for the sketchathon over at scrapfriendzy. i have done all of them so far. i am finally getting low on pictures so i will order some current pics at the end of the month along with my {project life} pics.

so yesterday i went to picasa to look at some pics and they were GONE!! all of my kodak files were GONE!! i freaked out and called scott....my hero! he had backed up our photos on january 10th. he downloaded an online file recovery program and managed to get them all back but 3 project life photos!! so today i got them from my PL blog. unfortunately we now have doubles of every photo on my computer and my computer is running very slow right now, but it's way better than losing all of my precious photos....scott's been wanting to buy a new backup system....guess i'm giving in...i thought he just wanted some new toys. lesson learned. back up your photos peeps!!

i have been getting a lot of questions regarding the edges of my photos...this might scare some of you, but i sand the edges with sand paper i stole from scott's man room. i had a friend in CT that wouldn't even crop her photos, can you imagine her face when she sees me cropping mine and the sanding the crap out of them?? lol i really like the white edges without having to mat them...so i don't feel bad about doing it.

happy tuesday!!
