I'm on a roll. :)

I'm really glad I started a scrap group a while back that I'm in charge of. We run alot of challenges and it really helps to whip up some differant and interesting Layouts. Both of these layouts were made because of challenges. The pink mother one was a Quick page challenge and the yellow one was two differant challenges I combind into one. A tutorial challenge to make torn paper, which btw is VERY easy, And a About Me challenge. :) Go to http://www.cottagearts.net/tutorial_torn_edge_adobe_pse.html fo the torn paper tutorial. Welps, I gotta go get my kids ready for school. BBL I think. lol My hubby and I are also taking them see the wiggles today at 3pm so I may not get time to get back here.

Weakest Moment

You Don't realize how Strong a person really is until you see them at their weakest moment. It reads - Going from 370 pounds to 170 pounds is a experience I will never forget. Losing 200 pounds has changed and altered my life in every way possible. Not only did I get my life back, I was able to have my children who mean EVERYTHING to me. Every day I am reminded in one way or another what I have been through. It wasn't easy but having WLS has worth it because I'm worth it and so are my beautiful children. I'm finally getting the chance normal people get, to live a long, happy, healthy life.

Time goes by too fast

Time goes by too fast. :( My Trinity is getting so big. She was sitting in my lap today and I couldn't help but to hold her like a baby and cuddle her and she said hey I'm not a baby! I said you will always be my baby and she got upset n told me that no she was not a baby that she is a big girl. lol She is changing every day. One of these days I'm gonna look at her and she will be woman. I just hope I'm a good enough mom to help her become a kind, caring, strong woman that I have tried to be myself. I did this layout today. It's amazing how much they change in 1 year. The elements and paper are by me from my mellow kit.

Good Morning

Good Morning I think. I woke this morn from my neck and back hurting I got up anyways and I was going to go to the gym. I got ready, started gettin the girls breakfast etc etc. When the girls woke up I took one look at Trinity and knew my plans must change. I took both her and sister to the doctor. They both have a eye infection. Trinity has pink eye and Novalee has conjunctivitis. :( And if that isn't bad enough they both have strep throat on top of that. So after that we go to the store and get their prescriptions and go home. I go to put food in our freezer and apparently somehow it was off all night. So I had to throw almost everything in the freezer away and clean the freezer top to bottom because we had popiscles in there. Yuck. Very sticky! Then once I'm finished with that I take the garbage out and come back in to found out I started my period. What fun. NOT! Ugh Today has been a very yucky day so far, and I hope you guys are having a better day then I am.Oh I also found out that my car has $4800 total damage on it. They ordered the parts and should get them tomo and at the latest on Friday and then once they have the part it will take 2 weeks to get my car back. bah!!! Ok enough of me complaing! Here is a scrap page I did yesterday. This is my daughter Trinity dressed up in her Cinderella outfit. :) It reads "My little girl is so big nowAll I can say is WOWWhere have the baby days gone Bottles and crying have turned to songI wont be in gloomFor Young beautys in bloomI can see in your eyes the women to beBut you’ll always stay little princess to me!"

My New Digi Scrap Kit !

This is my new kit. :) I'm currently learning new scrap techniques so the kit is a bit big but I love the colors. My next kit will be made using PS CS2 or PS Elements so it may take longer since I'm still learning those programs. Anyways if you would like this kit go HERE. Click on Digital Scraps By Me, Then Digi Scrap Kits, and then Mellow. :) Papers are 8.5 X 11 and png. Elements are pspimage. In the next kit they will be either png or psd files.

ugggh. Ouch!

Ugh. Ok Headaches are no fun. I have been going to bed with headaches and waking up with them. I have been having almost contstant headaches. Grrrr. I hate this. I haven't exercised since the accident either, but I don't care headache or not, Monday morning I am going to go to my kickbox class. Mhm I am. Although I may have to do the Stairs or exercise from home since I have yet another Chiro appointment on Monday at 10:30. Bahhh Made this Layout today. It came out ok. Not as good as I hoped but oh well. This is Trinity. I can't believe how much time has passed so quick. My baby grew so fast into a beautiful sweet little girl. It makes me sad, before I know it she will be a teenager. Eeek! The last couple of days I have been trying to play catch up on my scrapping. I have been using a scrap proggie with templates to be able to get more done to try n catch up. Its taking forever, the templates are not the best and I have to change them some but it works. :)

Good n bad news

I had another appointment with my chiropractor today. I had my normal adjustments and then after he showed me the x-rays of my neck. (That pic is not me but is a demo pic) So the good news is I don't have arthritis or anything else like that but he did find something which is the cause of my neck even before the accident, the accident just made it a lot worse. Anyways See where the arrows point to? Look really close and on the last bone in the neck you will see it has little flaps on it. well, that's normal, everyone has them but mine are different, they are longer then normal. Meaning that mine are longer so the gap underneath them is a good place for my nerves to get pinched. So lucky me, besides already having Scoliosis and curvature of the spine I have this. Ugh. No fun! I also get to deal with the people's insurance company to hit us to try and see if I can get them to pay for all my extra visits and maybe even pain and suffering. We should be getting the info for that by Wednesday. Gah, accidents are stressful in so many ways. So the good news is that now that we know this he can work on that area a lot more to try and get back under control with all my nerves. Ok enough complaining, Time to ice my neck yet again.

Hmmmm.

Ok This is just weird. My neck keeps going back n forth from feeling ok to really hurting me and causing me headaches. It almost has made me forgetful. I go to do something and then completely forget what I was going to do. Very Odd. I have my Chiro appt tomo at 8:30am. I hope the x-rays show that nothing is too messed up. Yesterday I did like 13 or more tutorials for PS CS2. It was fun to learn what diferance tools and options did. I really am liking PSCS2 so far. In fact I have been thinking about taking some classes to get certified later. I plan on going back to school soon and I have been into graphics for years from korean dolls, tags, IM letter, Tubes and now digi scraping. I think this is something that would benefit me a lot. Give me those skills I need to support myself just in case and also help develop my skills in graphic designs. Eeeek, Screamin kids! BBL. **EDIT - 3:50pm** This is a scrap page I just finished. I think it came out pretty well. I love the pictures and the colors. Almost everything on the layout comes from a kit called Simply Sweet by Sophia Davies. You can get this kit ----> HERE I'm on her creative team and she is a great person and a talented designer. :) Anyways, My kids just woke up from their naps so I gotta go. They wanna play a fish game I bought them.

O.o I like this!

Yay, I'm slowly but surely figuring this all out. I'm just trying to personalize it inbetween icing my neck and resting. lol I have been using xanga but I think I like the feel and look of blogger better. :-) Now I need to add some links. So if I know you or you are a scrapper, let's exchange! :-) I got my tutorial CD yesterday for PS CS2. I can't wait to get started on everything! Anyways, I better go, my girls should be waking up soon.
