She has lots of amazing works to look at!!! These were way too cute not to do!!! I made this one for my husband for valentine's day!!! I think he might get a little kick out of it!!! Thanks for looking and as always Take Care and Have Fun!!!

I Wanna Talk About Me

Well since I have been working on a whole lot of me pages lately, I had to dig out my All About Me album( I think I might need to go album hunting because the one that I have now I am not feeling it) which has been a long time because until recently I haven't scrapped in a really long time and when I opened it up I saw this page!!! It reminds me of why I love scrapbooking so much!!! It is a creative outlet to tell my story the way I see it, pages upon pages of life lessons, happy moments, and even the sad ones and if ever something should happen to me, my girls will know how much I loved them and what life was and is to me!!! Well enough of my ramblings, have a great day!!! Take Care and Have fun!!!

Guest Designer at Dirty Scraps... Woot Woot!!!

The 3rd challenge at Dirty Scraps was all about Broken relationships!!! I wasn't quite sure what I was going to say was broken so I worked on two layouts!!! Wow Thank you so much Pinky for deciding to feature them both! I am honored!!!My first layout out is titled Broken in this Moment and features a poem I wrote after my 1st miscarriage and is a layout about how I let moments break me and make me withdraw in when I should really try and let go and move forward which I am really trying to do, because I have two beautiful girls who right now deserve their Mom at her very best instead of one who sometimes just feels so broken!!!

My next layout is titled, As Broken As It Gets and is a layout about the brother that I have who is in prison! I wasn't sure if I was going to let this layout go or not but I am came to the conclusion that while you may judge me by the words that come from my heart or by my brothers actions, I am simply just wanting to be free of this heavy heart and this heavy mind and become better at being who I want to be!!!

My journal reads this: This is a picture of my brother and I!!! Yes this is the brother that I have who is in prison! So if you are reading this and you know me, even if you don't know me, me and my family are not defined by my brothers actions! It is what he decided to do in one moment that would put him there! If you are wondering that one moment has nothing to do with me but that one moment would definitely break this relationship and throw all trust out the window! Take note that in no way, shape, or form, do I agree with what he did at all!!! AT ALL!!! I tried to be supportive of my brother though but not the way that you might think!!! I just mean I wouldn't want to be stuck in that place all alone, so I would take the phone calls, the letters, and I would even go visit him a few times which really creeped me out because you have all of these inmates with family and friends all squished together in one room! So this relationship is broken and no matter how hard one might try and get it back it will always remain broken. There will always be a strain or tension there and once you lose trust with somebody it is very hard to get or gain it back, if at all possible! The letters have stopped coming, the calls don't come anymore because somehow my phone started blocking them, and I don't remember the last time I went to visit, so for me this relationship is As Broken As It Gets!!!

With these Girls... I am Forever Changed

This is my second challenge for the Dirty Scraps Blog(http://dirtyscraps.blogspot.com/) in which you scrap a pivotal point in your life!!! I chose my pivotal points to be the birth of my girls although I believe life is made up of many pivotal points!!! When it comes down to it these are the two moments that I had been waiting for all of my life and the two most changing, as of now!!! I'm in the process of trying to change myself, so that I may be better for them!!! Not that I am not good for them now!!! These girls are my greatest joys!!! So this week I didn't get real Dirty or go too deep but I think my small amount of journaling says enough!!! Thanks for looking!!! Take Care and Have fun!!!

My journaling reads: In one moment you whole life can change! Isn't that crazy? I believe life is made up of many pivotal moments!!! These are the two most beautiful and important moments of my life! Sometimes change is good!

Cool stuff that I used: sketch from pagemaps(http://www.pagemaps.com/), Prima Paper from Nursery Tales( Shimmery Pink and Glitter Diamond), Small Floral piece from DCVW Once Upon a Time Stack, Jolee's Boutique Together Blossoms, EK Success Cherry Blossoms, EK Success Alpha Mod Script Black for title, Small letters for daughters names Daisy d's Sweet Baby Jane Rub On Transfer Book

This is me...

So my friend put a bug in my ear about a blog that was just starting up called Dirty Scraps founded by a woman named Pinky and when I went to the site and saw her first challenge I knew it was definitely a challenge that I wanted to do!!! The challenge was to scrap one of your peeves and then in turn put what you have learned from it!!! This challenge was somewhat liberating for me as I truly scrapped what was in my heart, sometimes I forget how to use my voice and this woman Pinky made me dig deep and express myself in the best way I know how, creatively!!! My page's intent is solely to get what I needed to get out of my heart so I can move forward and is in no way shape or form meant to hurt anyone!!! That is what was in there and it just needed to come!!! This is the first scrapbook page that I have done in a very long time as my two year and one year old keep me very busy but a big Thanks to this woman named Pinky because that was something I have needed to do for a very long time, just get what I needed to get out!!! So here is the blog and my take on her first challenge!!! Take Care and Have fun!!!

The Apple Of My Eye

So I have been trying to organize my scraproom and I have a pile of scrapbook pages that are just waiting to be finished, so tonight I went in a picked this one out of the pile!!! It was done, all I needed to do was add a photo!!! It is a picture of my little chica, who isn't so little anymore!!! Two and a half years old and already too big for her britches!!! Hahaha!!! I love this photo and when I heard this song, I knew I had to use it!!! It is the sweetest kids song, sung in the sweetest little girls voice!!! My photo isn't that great so I will type the words for you and try and link you to the song on the internet!!! This is definitely one of my favorite pages and I even have part of the recording on my scrapbook page, so that makes it even cooler for me and hopefully for her when she grows up and appreciates it!!! Thanks for looking!!! Oh and I apologize for the picture quality, I'm still new at all of this!!! Now the words to the song:

You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum, Pumpy-umpy-umpkin,

You're my Sweetie Pie,

You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop, Snoogums-Boogums,

You're the Apple of my Eye.

And I love you so

and I want you to know

That I'll always be right here

And I love to sing sweet songs to you

Because you are so dear!!!
