Homecoming

So it is that time of year again and I have been putting off my first attempt at making a mum for my daughter. But here we are the night before the I plugged in my hot glue gun, grabbed my stapler and made a last run to Michaels for some extra ribbon and ornaments. (I guess that is what they are called)

Hi


All Occasion Card


And my altered item for the month. I found this idea on Scrapfreak and Shannon was rocking the flower she made...I was a little jealous and made my own but in butterfly fashion. By the way...the butterfly comes with the October Kit. It is from Maya Rd and has 8 pieces to it! The yellow paint on it is in there also and it is Tim Holtz Crackle Paint in Scattered Straw.



I added:
Acrylic Paint (flowers)
Bling
Buttons
Heidi Swapp Ghost Flowers
MM Manilla Paint (butterlies)
Ribbon
Stickles

9/11/08

So I decided that I needed some serious "me" time. So I took 2 days off of work and then I would have the weekend...well it doesn't always work out.

I was up earlier than I am normally for work. I dropped the girls off at the bus stops, went to the grocery store, the doctors office to pick up a prescription, the pharmacy (twice), the library, I cleaned, did laundry and suggested eating out. This was so not what amazing things I had planned for me. Why did I stray you ask? Hurricane Ike...nothing like a man to ruin your plans. I tell ya!

So I don't normally pay attention to the date...just the days - so yesterday I go about my business and I am hearing nothing about 9/11 because of all the hurricane talk going on until I get in the truck and am listening to Fox News on XM (dirty little secret-don't tell anyone!) and I hear that it is September 11th. So I decide that it is time for me to scrap a page so that my grandchild one day can see what I remembered. Here are 2 photos that I uploaded from Google images and had printed out with a black border that was supposed to be thin...



Journalling Reads: "Just a normal Tuesday for me-kids to school, laundry, cleaning and errands. I had no idea what was happening in the world until I made a phone call & then this day became one I would never forget. I pulled the kids out of school early so I wouldn't be alone and I stayed glued to the t.v. until 2am. Here it is 7 years later and I am off of work. I ran errands, did laundry and cleaned...the only difference - Its Thursday and the towers are no longer standing.

Items Used: Raven and White Bazzill, Karen Foster Patchwork PP, Ribbon, Brads, Queen & Co. acrylic shapes, bling, ink.

Its Wednesday already

I just realized that I didn't post my last LO from my weekend goals. No, I didn't make my goal for 6 layouts but I did finish one that I had walked away from and then I did 2 more.

Here is the last one from my weekend scrapping adventure:


Materials:
