Bucket Heads

School here has been cancelled ALL WEEK because of an unusually high amount of snow…. so we’ve been inside a lot. And what do my kiddos do to keep themselves amused??? Well… put buckets on their heads of course!

Hours of endless fun eh? Over and over and over and over…. put the bucket on YOUR head… put it on your BROTHER’S head… back on YOUR head…. and on and on….

Putting buckets on your head will naturally lead to MORE silly behavior… so my boys eventually started tackling their daddy!

Gotta love all that snow outside!

On the scrapping side of things…. I’ve been having fun playing with Kim Broedelet’s brand new kit : “Time Anew.” It’s a fun, sparkly kit full of gear to scrap those ‘celebratory moments’ in life! And it’s PURPLE… my daughter’s favorite color! Woohoo!

Here is a layout I put together using this fantastic new kit:

I used this layout as inspiration for putting together a freebie for you…. a pair of Time Anew brag book pages!

Feel free to snag them if ya like! Here is the download link:

Thanks for stopping by…. and I hope you like the new look to my blog. I’m still playing around with it…. I just had to stop and take a break! (I get sick of looking at it!) LOL! I’m not sure when I’ll get back to working on it more… but I know it’s not quite finished yet.

Have a great day! And if you’re snowed in like we are….. stay warm!

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble...

Hi there! And Happy Thanksgiving! (Although.... from the number of gifts/freebies on Kim B's blog today, you'd think it was Christmas!) Hope you're all planning an enjoyable day... I'm preparing myself for a massive 'stuff my stomach past capacity' meal... Thanksgiving is all about 'go big, or go home' right??? LOL!

Anyway.... I wanted to pop on here today and let you know about a FANTASTIC and FUN new Christmas kit Kim Broedelet has up for sale. It's called: 'From Santa With Love' and it's full of hand drawn doodles, realistic greenery, and gorgeous papers/elements!!! SO SO SO cute!!!


Here is one of the layouts I put together using this kit:


And I started another layout with the same kit.... and it kind of 'evolved' into a layout using bits and pieces of lots of Kim's kits! hee hee hee.... It's still Christmas-y though.... so I thought I would show ya.


I used: Papers and elements from Kim's 'From Santa With Love', the 'From Santa With Love' alpha freebie from Kim's blog the other day, swirls and bow from Kim's 'Heartfelt' kit, a few sparkles from Kim's 'Sparkles' pack, TONS of snowflakes from Kim's awesome 'Flakeys' kit, some sparkles from her 'I Believe' set, and a frame from the 'Weathered Frames' pack. Phew.... hope I remembered it all! But.... all you have to know is that it's ALL Kim's great stuff.... so go check out her store. Ha ha ha....

And.... if you're interested in a couple of Christmas quick pages, here ya go! I turned one of my pages into a freebie for you guys. The zip file has two pages in it... one with the word art and one without the wort art. (Which is from Kim's 'Words For You' set. LOVE that set!)


Here is the download link:

Have a fantastic day! (And hopefully stuff yourselves with some yummy food!!!)

Thanksgiving? What's That?

Ummm..... anybody else notice how we skipped right from Halloween to Christmas? The radio stations are already playing Christmas music, the stores are decorated for Christmas, all of the TV commercials are about Christmas gifts.... aaaaaakkkkk!!! And here I was really looking forward to Thanksgiving.... one of the few holidays where you don't have to buy anybody any presents, you get to hang out with family (ok.... well... between the guys watching the football games that is...), eat YUMMY food, and take a nap! What's not to love?!?

So my last blog post had some Halloween pics in it.... and THIS post will have one of my favorite pics from last CHRISTMAS in it. hee hee hee.... Guess I'm skipping Thanksgiving too!

Here are two of my crazy kiddos hanging out with my mom last year. My mom is the BEST cookie maker in the world... and she always lets the kids help her in the kitchen. They get to wear Santa aprons and Santa hats while decorating of course! LOL!
I put together a layout using some of our funny Santa Hat pics with some of the AMAZING gear in Kim Broedelet's new Christmas Goodies GRAB BAG:

Kim has a great sale going right now on her FANTASTIC grab bag: (I can't believe it's only $6.00 right now!!! It's a steal of a deal!!!)


AND AND AND.... all of her Christmas themed kits/gear are marked down for a short time too! Woohoo! This is the time to grab her great Christmas kits!

One of my favorite past Christmas kits from Kim is her Purple Chritmas kit.


Here are a couple layouts I made last year using this gorgeous gear:


Just to prove to you how WONDERFUL Kim's new Christmas Grab Bag is.... I put together a small freebie for you so you can sample a teeny tiny bit of it for yourselves. There are 4 papers and a snowflake page border for you to scrap with. Snag it if ya wanna!

Besides... you're in South Africa.... and about 9 hours ahead of where I am.... sooo..... by the time you might see this, it will be about midnight your time! That counts as your birthday right???)

And I am not the ONLY one who wants to wish you a FABULOUS birthday....


(Layout credits: "Dress Me Up" freebie from Cinnamon Designs.)

Kim - thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a good friend. You're always there to listen when I need it, or to make me laugh, and help encourage me to reach for my dreams. Your bright, energetic spirit is contagious... and I'm one of the LUCKY ducks who is constantly INFECTED! LOL! Your CT and friends - who love ya to bits and pieces - have put our heads together and would like to give your blog readers/fans a birthday gift in honor of YOU!


Soooo..... prepare to do some major Blog Hopping today everybody!!!! Hee hee hee.... just wait till you see our list of links! The rest of Kim's CT took pity on me and asked me to put together some brag book pages with the kit pieces they created.... (thanks for doing all the hard work ladies!) Here is my contribution to Kim's birthday kit : "Gratitude."



You can download my part of the gift at the link below: (And if you download... PLEASE take a second or two of your time today to go over to Kim's BLOG and wish her a FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY!

New Month... New Things Happening

Wowzas! It's already October! It's really starting to feel like fall now. Up here in Oregon there is always that morning risk of rain on the way to the bus stop. Ugh. Bust out the umbrellas. Here comes that infamous Oregon rain!

My girls are really getting into the groove of school now though.... and luckily they both love it. (That always helps eh?) My poor little Alycia.... on the way to the bus stop (which is only a few houses away) she tripped and tore up her knees pretty badly, bruised up her forehead, and roughed up her hands. She's screaming bloody murder through the entire neighborhood, I'm freaking out, and HER biggest concern is that she might miss the bus!!! LOL! Well... at least she wanted to get cleaned up quickly and back in that bus stop line. (And she DID make it.... we cleaned her up, stuck on some band aids.... and she was out the door!)

Anyway..... there are a couple of really fun things happening at DSO this month. Bunny, the 'commander in chief' of the site, happens to LOVE Halloween.... which ends up REALLY benefitting all of YOU! How you might ask???? Well.... pop in the DSO BLOG every day in October and you can download some new treat! (Trick Or Treating for the entire month!) The DSO designers are going to take turns offering new freebies for you every day.... and on Halloween there is a major goodie to pick up!!!

Another new activity at DSO starting this month is my FIRST EVER challenge! Woohoo! Would you like to finally USE one of those fabulous quick pages hanging around on your hard drive? This challenge is as simple as this : USE a quick page.... and you will GET a quick page for playing along! It's easy, fast, and FUN!

Wanna play along? Here is the participation bonus you'll get for being part of the action :



Oh... and since this is my first month... I thought I would give you TWO pages.... one WITH the 'smile beads' and one WITHOUT the 'smile beads.' Thought the page could be more versatile for you that way. Check out the complete details HERE.

And of course, I based this quick page off of a layout I created for myself..... so I thought I would show that to you as well...



This is one of my favorite pics of my daughter. (The one who fell this morning and scraped up her knees actually...) I love that 'hint of a smile' lingering there. She's a sweetie!

Hopefully I'll see you over at DSO this month for my challenge. Hope you're all having a great day.... and don't forget to visit the DSO blog each day this month for a new freebie during the whole month of October!!!

Argh.... Those Olympics!

Anybody else blame their bloodshot eyes on Michael Phelps and EVERY OTHER Olympic sport and athlete???!!! WAHAHAHA!!! Those DARN Olympics!!! Why do they have to be so addicting and be on SO LATE at night here on the west coast of the USA? Ha ha ha! Guess that's what happens when China happens to be all the way on the other side of the world eh? I admit I've missed a few nights (HAD to catch up on my sleep at SOME point...) but most other evenings I've tortured myself squinting up at the TV through zoned out eyeballs.... needing to see for myself if we got another swimming medal! LOL! Hopefully now that the swimming is over it won't be so bad....

Thank you to everyone who has sent me emails with well-wishes for my mom and the rest of my family. The day before yesterday she really turned a corner, and is now actually 'recovering.' I have to admit, I've been a nervous wreck over the past few weeks.... it's just horrible seeing her in so much pain. I feel hopeful now though that she will actually get better.... and maybe she will get to come home from the hospital by the end of the week. (Maybe. Cross your fingers.)

I wanted to send out a BIG THANK YOU to Pamela and to Lei who gave me awards AGES ago on their blogs (LOL!)... but with all the crazy stuff going on with my mom.... I haven't blogged in forever!!! They both made me feel SO great---I can't thank them enough for the wonderful things they said about me. (Big {{{{HUGS}}}} for you both!!!) Make sure to check out both Pamela and Lei's blogs for all kinds of fun freebies they've been busy making lately!!! Woohoo! They are both very talented AND are very sweet ladies!

And OF COURSE Kim Broedelet has been up to her eyeballs creating great new scrapping gear lately... (I've gotten totally behind...) Kim has a FANTASTIC new CU grab bag out NOW that will be up till Wednesday at midnight at a BIG SALE price!!! Go grab it now while it's cheap!!! (And it's 100% worth it!) So I threw this little layout together last night (with some of her grab bag gear---along with some past Kim goodies) so my kiddos could each have their own 'family tree' to look at. Here is an example of one with my youngest son in the 'ME' spot: (I think you can click the image to see it closer if you want to...)

I thought you might find a use for it too.... so I figured I'd offer it for a while here as a freebie. Hope ya like it.... and make sure you check out Kim's new CU bag... it's wonderful, as usual!



I put 2 versions of the page in the zip file.... one WITH text and one WITHOUT... so you can add your own labels/names if ya like. Here is the download link:

Thx! C ya later!

I've Been Awarded!

"I've been awarded!" LOL! Just saying that sounds cool! My morning was brightened when BUNNY gave me this award! Awwww...... I'm melting into a puddle of mush over here.... so flattered girl! Thanks!



I'm not sure if there are any 'rules' per se that go along with passing this award around.... but I WOULD like to give it to a few blogs that inspire me!

• Misty Cato (She's amazing! I know you ALL visit her! An inspiration on a billion levels!)
• Lindsay Jane (One of the first blogs I ever visited after I learned about digi-scrapping-and I still visit her! She's amazing too!)
• Ameliescrap (Have you checked out her site? She lists freebies DAILY and picks out some amazing finds!)
• Full Of Life (She is pretty much the scrapper I want to be! LOL! Her blog is in German, but I always scroll through it to see her latest layouts.... amazing style!)
• Satina (This isn't a scrapping blog - but my friend, Satina, is a true inspiration to me! She's made it through MANY months of bed rest with a great attitude!)

So... there ya go! There are MORE sites I visit every day... but I'll limit this list for now so that you're not here reading all day! Ha ha!

Oh.... and today is my dd's birthday! Hooray! Here is one of the layouts I made for her last year.... it just makes me laugh to see her as an 'angel'! Which she CAN be... but she has some little red horns hiding up there as well! (Guess she has a bit of Kim B. in her!) She's such a joy in my life - she is a true sweetheart! (Even if she CAN be a troublemaker at times!)


(Click HERE to see full credits on this layout.)

Anybody feel like celebrating my daughter's birthday with me? I feel like 'giving a gift'.... so here ya go.... courtesy of Kim Broedelet and myself: 2 brag book pages for those little boys and girls in your lives! One of the pages is made with the kit: "I Believe" by Kim B. and Bunny Cates.... and the other page is made with Kim's NEW KIT: "I Believe - For Boys" which hit the store TODAY! (Go get it while it's ON SALE!!!) These two kits are really amazing.... so much magic, sparkle, and fun is packed into them!


Here is the download link:

Hope you like it! (Make sure you check out Kim's new kit HERE.... it's a 'must have!') Hope you're all having a great day! We'll be having fun opening presents and eating cake over here!

King For A Day

So.... I'm going to be 'spilling the beans' here! (LOL!) But I'm going to give you a sneak peek at Kim Broedelet's latest and greatest! Remember the kit called 'I Believe' she created with Bunny Cates? Well - she put together an add on kit JUST FOR BOYS! Woohoo! It's just TOO COOL and I had some fun with it yesterday - so I thought I would give ya'll a 'teaser' for NEW RELEASE DAY THURSDAY AT DSO tomorrow.


Know how we always say 'there's not much out there for boys?' Well.... now there is a 'must buy' for your boy layouts! LOL! It's seriously just so creative, so fun, and not to be missed.

I used pics of my son from the same 'pic moment' as the layout I did for Kim & Bunny's I Believe kit earlier.... see?


I used pics of my dd for the 'I Believe' kit.... and now of my son from that same pic day for the 'I Believe For Boys' add on kit.

Gotta run.... my kiddos are all about to wake up. Hope you all have a great day!

P.S. I got a chuckle this morning when I had a comment made on my layout above in a gallery.... the lady (who I am sure is very nice) said it was 'different'. (and she had to comment cause we were part of a comment chain thing) Ha ha ha! Isn't that what you say when you can't think of anything else nice to say???? LOL! Like, "ooooh, that haircut sure is 'different'".... or "that outfit is really 'different'".... but I'm going to choose to see it in a 'good' way. hee hee hee.... I'm crossing my fingers that she meant well.

Digi-Addict Turns Digi-Designer!

Yes.... all the rumors are TRUE! This 'digital scrapbooking addict' has turned 'digital scrapbooking designer!' Ha ha ha! Just when I thought I couldn't possibly spend more of my free time scrapping...

I am one of 6 new designers over at DSO. Keep an eye out for my new releases here on my blog and over in the store at DSO as well. I'm only going to be part time - I still have that minor detail of 4 kiddos to deal with. LOL! I am SOOOOO excited.... and I am already enjoying getting to know and work with the other wonderful designers over at DSO. So far, they are being incredibly helpful and friendly! (But Kim B. has threatened to 'terrorize' the newbies! So I guess I had better keep up my guard eh? Hee hee...)

Speaking of Kim.... she tagged me over on her blog.... but I will get to that in my NEXT post. Today, I wanted to share a couple of pics and layouts with ya.

Here are a couple of pics I took of my girls this week (just at the park and in our yard.)

And here are the pages I created with the pics of my pretty girls!


This layout was made with an AMAZING kit called 'I Believe' by Kim Broedelet and Bunny Cates. Check it out by clicking HERE - you will be in awe at the great gear included in this magical kit!


Here is a layout using Kim's latest GRAB BAG gear. (Another great CU bag like she always puts together... go get it!!! It's a steal of a deal!) I also used a few bits and pieces from some of her other kits.

And of course, I couldn't resist turning my layout into a quick page for you guys. I have to celebrate right???? I'm a DSO designer now! So I'm 'giving away gifts' from me and Kim. Ha ha ha!

I Feel Used

Ha ha ha ha ha! Used in a GOOD way! I totally forgot to show you a few layouts put together with the first template I ever made for you guys. (ok... the ONLY template I ever made for you guys!) Click on their names to see full credits on their amazing layouts...

This beauty was made by Jen (aka Jenaroo). Don't you just LOVE the colors she chose??? My dd would HIGHLY approve.... she lives and breathes 'all things purple.'

Here is another fantastic layout made by Callista. 95 years old! That is so cool!

Dawn March sent me this wonderful layout.... I just adore those cute pics! And I love the colors she used and the cute swirly-gigs she added on the right hand side.

Seeing this layout makes me want to go out and get a puppy!!! (Well... ALMOST. My husband would skin me. We have such a tiny yard... it wouldn't work out very well! LOL!) Sharon Kay used my template to make this adorable page!!!

And last (but never least) is miss Kim B.! I stole this off of her blog....(I was so excited to see her using my template!) ha ha! (Don't worry... I think she'll forgive me.) So I'm sure many of you have already seen this beauty! Anybody else feel like taking a trip to South Africa?

Thank you ladies SOOOOO SOOOOO much for allowing me to show your layouts here on my blog. I saw a few others using my template... but never got around to asking for permission to show them... but they were GREAT too!

Kim B. is all about giving quick pages out in pairs.... so here is a 'sister page' for the one I posted yesterday. Look familiar???? Hee hee.... Today I guess I had that design on my brain looking back over these great layouts.

Snag it if ya like it. (And don't forget to check out Kim's new grab bags! This quick page was created with about 1/100th of the stuff in there. They are a STEAL of a deal... jam packed with great goodies!)

Thanks again for stopping by! Have a 'Happy Wednesday!' (Mine should be interesting... I'm taking my girls roller skating after school. Woohoo! Gotta love it.)

I've been tagged... twice!

I was tagged by two friends LAST MONTH (Satina & Barbara aka: DigiMom)- and I haven't blogged since then... so I am playing catch up now! Ha ha! (I blame it all on Kim B. who went on vacation. The lack of her emails & new kits must have thrown off my scrapping mojo right? I need a scapegoat, so I'll use her... hee hee hee...)

I'm going to stretch out the '2 tags' into 2 posts. Clever eh? Actually, it's just me taking pity on all of you, and not responding to everything all at once!

I'm going to respond to my good friend, Satina, first. I've known her since my first week of college (won't tell you how long ago that was! LOL!) and we've been friends ever since. Soooo.... since I've known her longer than Barbara, I'll do her tag today.

Satina is one of the most amazing people I know... she is sweet, spunky, and incredibly caring. She recently started her own blog (click HERE to check it out) to help keep her busy while enduring months of mandatory bed rest at the end of her pregnancy. Her positive attitude is an inspiration to me!

So - Satina's challenge to me was to post 7 random facts about myself. Here we go:

1. The day I met my husband, I told my friend, Satina, that I thought I would marry him! Ok, so this isn't a 'new' fact to Satina... but it's kind of funny. I wasn't actually serious when I said it... but it turned out to happen anyway!!! Odd twist of fate eh? Guess it was just meant to be!

2. Some of my close friends already know this random fact.... but I swallowed a live goldfish once on a dare. Yeah - it was dumb. LOL!

3. I hate touching raw meat. I am constantly laughed at when I am preparing dinner and I refuse to touch raw meat with my skin. I use long spoons, forks, knives... whatever I can find to hold it far away from me while I cook it or cut it up. Ugh. I really don't like it. I always think if I had been a pioneer or farmer that I would have been in big trouble since I don't handle those kinds of things very well.

4. I love to sing! Ok.... so when I sing now it's just when I am alone or singing along to 'Sesame Street' with my kiddos.... but once upon a time I sang in High School, College, at Church, and in a community choir. I'm really not great.... but it's like emotional therepy! Ha ha! And who couldn't use some of THAT from time to time?

5. The girls in my family are named after the characters in the novel : "Little Women." I am Beth, I have sisters Amy & Meg, and my mom is Jo.

6. I LOVE LOVE LOVE eating out at restaurants. (ok... so who doesn't?) I'm not a Betty Crocker type - and eating anything that I didn't have to make myself is just pure pleasure! But with 4 young kiddos and a money saavy husband, (which I am grateful for) eating out really doesn't happen very often... ha! That's ok - it just makes it even MORE enjoyable when we do right?

7. My hair is naturally 'curly-ish' and can really drive me berserk! (is berserk a word?) And just to gross all of you out completely.... I only wash it about 2-3 times per week. LOL! Anybody cringing with disgust? My hair completlely frizzes out and dries out if I wash it every day. AND when I dry it - I am wasting an hour and a half each day just trying to manage my mane. Drying my hair is an annoyingly long process. First, washing it of course. Next, getting just the right amount of gel and goop on it to put it in its' place. Then, hanging my head upside down over a hair dryer and diffuser for up to 45 minutes! (That's if I want it to be 100% dry - I usually just give up, look in the mirror and say 'good enough for who it's for!') I could go on and on (give ya a whole blog post) about hair... but I'll spare you by stopping now!

Sooooo.... now that you you've gotten to know a few random things about me... here is a layout I made this week for my friend Bunny. She has some WONDERFUL easy-to-use templates up for sale in her store and she let me play with them! Check out her blog HERE and read all about them!

Here are my credits: 'Simply Layouts Template Set 1' - (I used template#4) by Bunny Cates. 'Edge It Grunge Grid' Pack by Kim Broedelet. 'Puddles of Sunshine' Alpha by Eva Kipler - recolored. 'Notebook Stickers' Rainbow by designs by Leora. 'Construction Paper Cut Out' by FernLili.

This is my sister's daughter.... and she is adorable! The rainbow suit is VERY significant.... it's just like a suit that my sister used to wear 24 HOURS A DAY when she was a kid! So it's just so cute to see her little girl wearing one just like it now! (As soon as I get a pic of my sister wearing HER suit as a kid, I'm going to have to scrap them side by side.)

Remember those 'brag book' teasers I showed you yesterday? Here are the full previews:




If you buy both of Kim B's new PU and CU grab bags (at a steal of a deal by the way...) you get this 25 page brag book set for FREE! I made 10 of the pages in there.... and Kim's amazing CT team all banded together to make this great set.

Thanks for making it through this post! I'll be back to respond to Barbara's tag soon as well! Here is a quick page I made for you guys from some of the GREAT gear in Kim B.'s new bags! Hope you like it!
