Monday, A Digi, & Me

I'm so not a fan of Monday's! Trying to get things done around here today since Mav has another procedure tomorrow. Hoping like heck it goes better then the last one. I thought maybe the Dude would take a nap so I could go scrap for a little bit to clear my head but it's not look like that going to happen anytime soon he's bright eyed and bushy tailed. Miss A is relaxing in her room she's not feeling 100%. I think A and T both are getting colds Yuck!


Now for the Digi... ~Mandy

Scrappy Sunday

Here is a layout I created for the Crate Paper Blog Feb. Sketch Challenge using one of my lovely Studio Calico kits.Photos of Mav's first bus ride in 2009. It was so cool because he doesn't ride the bus this was for a special field trip he went on with his class ..Of course I followed closely behind the bus biting my fingers and shaking like a leaf the whole time wondering if it would go good for him and it did. Fast forward to this past year the Dude is not such a fan of the bus lol.

Hope your having a great Sunday!Thanks for stopping by!

from This to That

Last week we got the Dude outside it was beautiful out and well everyone here in the mitten thought spring was on its way. Um Hello we live in Michigan one day you have spring the next you have a blizzard and that's just what happened. The white stuff started falling on Saturday along with some freezing wet stuff YUCK! We had almost foot of snow in like 6 hours.We had a boat load more snow on Monday but i didn't take a picture so the one below is from today. Today is the 3rd this week Teagan has been home (2 snow days and Presidents day).Hope your having nice weather where you are or if you have the white stuff like us hope you're staying warm!

5 Things Friday

Here are 5 Things making me happy today.

This beautiful picture Teagan made me.

Seeing THIS featured project(that's my Dude)

We have the windows open getting some fresh air to replace that recycled air we've been breathing for the last few weeks. I can hear these 3 playing outside too love it!

Happy thanks to Gma that we were able to score the Chicks tickets to Taylor Swift's concert in July they are going to be tickled. Waiting to tell them since they know the tickets sold out and think we didn't get any.is that mean? Nah I think they'll love the surprise I plan on printing them invitations like I did for Teagan last time. This will be Teagan's 3rd time seeing Taylor in concert and Miss A's 1st.


And these awesome goodies I got in the mail this week oh i have so many ideas floating around and wrote down on what I want to do with them.I think I might scrapbook this afternoon since my mojo is returning.Woohooo

I'm just happy that it's Friday! So what's making you happy today?
Have a good weekend all!

I'm just that boring...

*The following is not asking for a pity party or for anyone to feel sorry for me it's just a post on a blog and seriously lets be honest life is not a fairytale full of soap opera dreams and popcorn k.

really right now I'm feeling just that boring or maybe it's just hard to put everything into words i dunno. I'm not even sure what to share my life feels like a rerun daily i do the same things over and over breath the same recycled air over and over, the only thing that changes are Mav's moods, the bedding on his bed (like 3-4 times a day)and what episode of Dora we watch. Mr.K calls with his favorite saying being the first thing out of his mouth "whats new" or the famous "anything else" um yeah nope just like last time you called I have nothin lol. This past week has been a lil taste of Hell for us which I will try to type up and share later this week but it's still hard and breaks my heart thinking about it.anywho... I did get a wonnerful Studio Calico box yesterday that was an awesome change for a day! I can't wait to create something with it this weekend. Yep I take some me time on the weekends to scrapbook, smile, and get my mind off os things.

Here is a layout I created on a whim last Friday. It took like 30minutes to make including the hand stitched heart on the photo. i wasn't sure at first if I really like it but when I left it then came back to look at it i smiled and knew yep I likes it!

Using Studio Calico's Metropolitan kit

A #2 Pencil

A #2 Pencil and a dream can take you anywhere~ This layout was fun to create. it all came together first the quote then the photos and poof the layout. you better believe I have a #2 pencil in hand hoping it takes me here and there lol it's been a rough week at the house of K especially after Mav's procedure on Tuesday ugh so not looking forward to going back to the hospital in month for another one.Lets just say after this experience with Mav I think I am ready to go into a tiger ring cause he was one very disgruntled cat. my motto right now is KEEP CALM,STAY STRONG,&CARRY ON.

And now for your viewing pleasure a 2page layout by mememe aka me haha I make myself laugh.(<---this statement was not said in a snotty, uppity, I'm all that sort of way at all. I don't think I'm some great artist and blah blah blah I'm just a fun gal. so please do not take the "for your viewing pleasure" statement in the wrong way!)

#2 Pencil created using Studio Calico Kit
