Wow...didn't realize it had been so long!!

Life is a whirlwind right now...I'm doing lots of subbing at the Y and Soccer season is about to begin. Add that to the everyday stuff and geesh!! I don't know if I'm coming or going!!! I'm so busy in fact, that I'm not even throwing the big birthday party for Pierson's 4th birthday!!! I feel bad about it...but not too bad! LOL!

I can't even believe it's mid week already!!!

We've got a BIG announcement (that I should've already announced here!!!) at Cookin' Up Creations Tomorrow starts our CROP CHEF Contest!!!! Do you have what it takes to become our Crop Chef and earn a spot as our guest designer for May??? I think you need to head right on over and get signed up to play along! I post the first challenge tomorrow!!!!

Another great sketch went up at Nuts About Sketcheson Sunday. Here's the page I created:


Oh! More personal stuff...I am signed up for Hip Hop Hustle training on the 9th!!! I'm really excited to be expanding my group fitness repertoire!!! Wish me luck!!

I've been asked...

to design for NUTS ABOUT SKETCHES!!! I'm super excited about this gig since I LOVE sketches so much!!! I've already received the sketches for this month and can't wait to get started!! For those who don't know, Nuts about Sketches is a sketch blog (obviously!) and Shawn issues a new sketch every Monday! Please go check it out!!!

And now that the team has been announced, I'll share the page I submitted for the call! Here's what the sketch looked like:


And here's my page!


I was so happy when I saw the sketch because I've had these pictures printed out for over a year...just sitting on my desk. And this sketch worked out perfectly for them!!! I used papers from Me and My Big Ideas and I cut the cute little turtles using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cart for my Cricut.

So, go ahead and go check out Nut About Sketches and bookmark the site! I promise it will be great inspiration!

I've got exciting news!!!

But I can't tell you yet!!! Hee! Hee! I will tell you it's scrappy related...that way you won't go speculating about weather or not I'm gonna have another offspring!!! LOL!

I broke down and went to the doctor yesterday. Felt like I was coughing up the Fires of Hell!!! It's definitely the flu...but he gave me an inhaler to help calm down my inflamed chest area and a nasal spray to help me breath...although I'm not sure the nasal spray is working. Thought I was gonna get to send H back to school today, but he decided to run a fever again yesterday afternoon...UGH. One of these days, we'll all be back to normal!

Remember yesterday when I said we were going Mad about Sketches at Cookin' Up Creations this month??? Well, I got to serve up the first challenge today!!! This is the sketch I created:


And here's my card!


Wanna know how I created the background??? Well, go on over to the Technique Tuesday BPS Challenge forum and find out! I'll even give you a LINK!

Well...off to attempt fixing dinner for the first time in a week. I guarantee it's gonna be something REALLY quick! LOL!
