BLOG HOP TIME!!!

Have I ever told you all how much I hate my computer...grrrrr....when I have things I NEED to get done the stupid thing takes FOREVER...it needs to be dumped...too much crap I think. And it doesn't help that FB always freezes it up and makes my life difficult. Well...my husband has a weekend softball tournament and I'm already late for it but I needed to get my blog hop stuff up first. I don't know what my deal is lately...I am NEVER a procrastinater and let things go till the last minute. That kind of behavior normally drives me nuts...hence the reason my husband drives me NUTS....A LOT!! Anyway.......

On to the fun stuff....a blog hop for The Stamping Boutique...yay!!! This hop is called back to school...is everyone ready for that? My son is suppose to start this year BUT....with our move taking place like a month after school should start we are going to wait and start him once we get to Guam and get settled!
This pretty little girl is...can you guess....Audrey back to school!!! Easy enough right!!! But, that's just one of the images that are floating around today for you to take a peak at. So you need to do the whole blog hop to see everyones creations...and of course leave a comment on each blog to be entered to win the prize.

So....if you came here from Amanda's blog then you are on the right track but if you didn't....start here with Aletha's blog and work your way through.

Now that you are finished with my blog move on to Ashley's blog and enjoy your weekend!

TSB~Help From a Friend

Oh My Goodness...what have I been doing? It's been almost 2 weeks since my last post. I guess summer has been catching up with me! But this morning, I am sitting her with my cup of coffee getting a few posts together. I hate when my blog is neglected.
I'd like to say that I've been traveling Europe since I haven't been crafting but that just hasn't been the case! Even though I'm working on planning a trip to Amsterdam and London. We only have 3 1/2 months left in Europe so I'd like to make the best of it. Can you belive it...3 1/2 months...it's becoming real now!
Something I MUST share though because I really thought this was going to be a challenge...my little one, Leila just started potty training. She's 2 1/2 and I thought for sure she was going to give me a hard time because her brother didn't even really "train", he just started to use the potty and that was it! So Sunday we were at a friends house and I ran out of diapers so I told her she needed to wear panties, she didn't like the idea at first but once she peed like a big girl she was super excited. So here we are on Wednesday and she has done amazingly well. Yesterday I even ventured out for the afternoon/evening and not a single accident. Now this morning she had an accident but right at the potty, I just think she waited too long to go and didn't quite make it but all in all...over the past 3 days she's only had 3 accidents! I'm a proud mama today! Can you tell? We have been telling EVERYONE that Leila is peeing in the potty like a big girl now! LOL!
Okay...on to the crafty stuff....today I made a card for my The Stamping Boutique DT. This is Help from a friend....I just LOVE her...she was NOT easy to color though...lots of little parts to her. So I decided to take the easy way out and do a little paper piecing...her stockings and dress are both pieced! This is for  For Fun Challenges that TSB is sponsoring this week. So go over and join them for a chance to win some TSB images!!! The challenge this week is bright colors. I know...mine don't seem toooo bright but that orange is bright for me....I don't normally work with that color but I just love the DP so this is MY version of bright!!

Critter Challenge Blog Monday

Good Morning everyone! It's the start of a new week!! For me it's a Critter day and our challenge this week is a Christmas themed card and a sketch. This image is from Robyns Fetish which is our sponsor this month. I have to admit this image was hard for me to work with. I'm not used to using this sort of image but I did my best!
I had a full and busy weekend. Wednesday, the 14th was my birthday. It was a great birthday this year and lasted into the weekend. Saturday night my husband made a great b-day dinner and we had friends over to eat with us and play some games. Then Sunday I had a spa day with my friend. I think I'm going to have a new addiction...SPA DAYS!!! It was soooo great and relaxing! BUT...Saturday morning I had softball practice and hurt my back. Man was I in pain Saturday night. Thankfully Sunday was a little better and today is a little better than yesterday...I just can'at sit for too long of a period of time. Standing and laying are fine but not sitting! I have a game tonight...not sure if I'm gonna make it all the way through! I have a feeling it's my pinched nerve because when I was in high school pitching I got a pinched nerve and so for years I have been dealing with it and sure enough I was pitching at practice and I think I did something to it. It just makes me feel old and I don't like to feel like that.
Anyway....I'm gonna stop here because...well...my stupid stupid back is hurting!

Crafty Critter Monday and TSB!

Hello everyone! I hope that you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. I'm a day late today posting for the Critter Sketch Challenge blog...the new challenge was up yesterday. The challenge this week is to use stars...a minium of 4 stars on your project. It's the start of a new month over at the Critter Sketch blog so that means we have a new sponosr and new opportunities to win the monthly prize from our sponsor. ALSO...the winner of June has been listed on the blog so go over and check it out!
The image I used for this post is from The Stamping Boutique...I just love being part of this DT team. They have started a new monthly contest so you should go over and join up for that. Each time you use a The Stamping Boutique image for your project just link it to the contest page and you'll be entered to win the end of month prize. So the more images you use and link the more chances you have to win...sounds fun right?
So what did you all (Americans that is) do for your holiday? We decided to take our kids and another couple to an amusement park. We decided to make it a 2 night thing. It was pretty fun. It was really hot but fun! In fact it had to be record breaking HOT this weekend!!!

Dr. Seuss AND........blog candy winner!!!

Here is the card I recently made for a baby shower I attended. Her theme was Dr. Seuss so I scowered the internet for a stamp image...not very much luck but then I came across some free Dr. Seuss coloring pages...I took one, saved it to my desktop, resized it, printed it and colored it. Easy peasy!
I have to admit I was quite proud of myself with this card. And...one of the girls at the shower called me magical...can you believe that? I was blushing!! It's nice to be around people that aren't into crafts because they tend to give the best  compliments....they don't know how much BETTER the card could have been!! LOL! But really...I was very happy with it.

The Stamping Boutique Blog HOP!!!

It's my very first blog hop with The Stamping Boutique and I'm super excited. This is a very talented group of girls and I hope you will hop all the way through and see what everyone has created for you today.
The theme for this hop is SEWING....wow....please don't just my stitching too harshly...I had my wonderful hubby buy me a little sewing machine when he was in the States and I thought this would be the perfect card to try my sewing on...well...as you can see...I need a lot of practice!!! But hey...I tried!!!
We have three awesome images to share with you today...all of which can be bought at The Stamping Boutique...I have used Cynthia Seamstress...how adorable is she!!! I have to admit...besides this card...I am not a seamstress in any way so the theme and image was kind of hard for me to work with but...I did my best!

Okay....so if you are on the right track you should have come here from Christy's blog Cristy's Zaney Creations and you will next go to Tink's blog Tink Time if you happen to be lost...as I know I normally am you should go back and start with the beginning of the hop at Kym's blog Nana's Keepsakes.
Have fun hopping!!!

There are a lot of talented girls on this DT so you will want to come and check out there wonderful work!

It's Wednesday...today it actually warmed up a bit to my surprise. Maybe we will end up having a little bit of summer here in Germany this year! We are planning a little trip over the 4th of July. We were going to go camping again like we did last year but were afraid the weather would be crappy (as it has been) so instead we are doing a 2 night trip to an amusement park. Movie Theme Park in Germany to be exact. I think our kids (we are going with friends) are going to love it. It's got all their favorite TV charecters. I have started to upload our Disney pictures so I will be sure to put some on here this weekend.

Wish me luck...I'm trying to make a baby shower card and her shower is Dr. Seuss theme so I found an image and I'm going to TRY to color it in and make something out of it! We shall see...if it comes out I'll post it!!! ;)

Scrapbook Layouts for SCS Swap! AND BLOG CANDY!!!

Lets start with the blog candy! I promised that once I hit 50 followers I'd have some for you all and I am now at 52...yay! The picture below shows what you can win! You will have until the 30th to enter.
So, you all have read that I'm playing softball and the other night one of the girl's husbands' was taking pictures of us and posted them on their FB page....well....have you ever NOT realized just how horrible you look until you see yourself in a picture? I mean, I know I have gained a lot of weight since being here in Germany and having my second child but holy cow....my legs look sooooo white and fat that I will now be buying a pair of pants to wear for all future softball games....and I will only be wearing shorts around the house. That's how bad I looked! So I know your wondering why I'm telling you all this.....in your post for the blog candy I want you to tell me how you have lost weight or kept weight off. I know 90% of us have struggled with our weight at some point in our lives and I could use all the help I can get right now!
UGH!!!!!

On to better things right?!!! Here is a double page layout I made for a cricut swap I recently did. I just love all these colors and the cartridge I used was Paisley. Isn't that mushroom adorable?

Here is the second set I did. I used Winter Woodland for this set. Okay...I just realized it didn't upload the second page. WTH!! Okay...there we go...both pages! I know this one is kind of simple for what I normally put together for my pages but I kind of like it! And of course you can't tell on here but there is lots of sparkle.

Mimosa Cupcake!

Wow....I felt so bad my blog had been totally neglected for over a week! I think I'm back to normal now. I think...LOL! Of course my cold STILL after 10 days of antibiotics not fully gone but at least I'm feeling wayyyyyy better! I will be trying to play catch up this week with postings. So don't be surprised if I have something each day! I have been a horrible DT member for The Stamping Boutique and plan to bring you lots of goodies from there this week.
So....I'm playing softball...OMGosh...I haven't played since high school which would be 14 years ago now. I'm so out of shape and honestly hate not being a better player. I used to actually be good but feel like I've lost all of that plus need to lose some weight and work out so I don't lose my breath just running to first! It's been fun to get to know some new people on our base and just to have a good time I just wish I could find my "softbal mojo". I don't like to "feel" like the old one in the group.
Well...on to better things...Mimosa Cupcake....she's sooo cute and you can buy her at Paper Jewels...her store blinkie is on the sidebar. And of course she has many more things you can check out too!

The Stamping Boutique~Twirling Fairy

As promised....here is my very first TSB card! This little beauty is twirling fairy. I have always had a love for angels and I have been finding some amazing fairies, pixies and so forth and I've fallen in love. If you too like fairies stop by TSB store and get you some...she has a whole but and they really are just amazing!
I hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekend. It was cold and rainy here...go figure! Not that it really mattered much because I'm still sick. I can't seem to shake this stupid cold. I'm feeling terrible every day and am going through a ton of tissues!!! I've actually ran out of tissues and am now walking around with a roll to toilet paper....luckly we use soft TP!!!
One thing I forgot....I have entered this weeks challenge at Stampin for the Weekend and I encourage you all to go over and join them this week....this is actually my second entry for their challenge and the first part of the challenge is to make a card to make someone smile or cheer them up and the second part...which is totally optional is to send your card to someone from post pals. I had never heard of post pals until seeing this challenge and I will be sending both my cards to some of the children on that site. I love doing challenge but I love doing them even more when I'm doing them for a purpose and if one of my cards make a sick little boy or girl smile and feel better for just a moment...then I'm happy!!! So please go over and join them!

Paper Jewels Saturday~Mimo Skate

MORNING Ladies!!! Happy Saturday to you! And Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you all. I hope you have something fun planned for your extended weekend and I challenge you all to say thank you to someone you know (or don't) in the Armed Forces. Just be aware of the reason for this holiday, being a military spouse I feel it's important for me to always put out there that our men and women are sacrificing every single day for the freedoms all of us enjoy in the USA!
So.....here is my card for my Paper Jewels post this week. This is my last Saturday for the month but you can always take a look at the blog every day to see a new post from a new DT gal! And I will be back in July for the month!
This is Mimo Skate...he's pretty darn cute huh! It's hard for me do to boy cards, I don't know why, I have a son and a very "guy" husband but I'm such a girly girl that it's just hard to break out of that and do something boyish. But once I got started last night it came pretty easily. My son picked out the DP to be used...he loves to craft as much as I do!
Hopefully tomorrow or Monday I will have a post for you with a TSB image....I'm so excited...it will be my first post for the new DT team! I have 3 sticky notes full of images I MUST HAVE from there!!!!
