preserving the past

I did accomplish a little last night. Did some laundry, made dinner, and even scrapped a page! Could have done more, but c'mon, we don't want to over do ourselves, haha.

I hate that all my old photos are so crappy. But, what can you do? I can't go back and retake them all. Wish I could, but can't. I am just glad I have so many photos of COurtney when she was little. They may not be the best, but they are my memories. Soon to be scrapped and saved for her for later. For a couple years now, Courtney kept telling me she didn't want my scrapbooks, that she would burn them because she hates photos of herself. This has really been bothering me. I told Chris I wanted to leave all my scrapbooks to his sister, Leslie. Leslie and I are rather close, even though we are 15 years apart. (Umm, does that mean I act too young?? lol) Anyway, a couple weeks ago, Courtney told me she wanted my scrapbooks. I said.. you don't want to burn them anymore? She said no, she'll keep them. I would love to know what changed her mind. Maybe she heard Chris and I talking about it one night. It hurt my feelings bad knowing she wouldn't want these books. They are being made for her, but for me to also enjoy now. I am so glad she has changed her mind. A few of her friends have said they wished their mom would do something like that for them. Maybe that made her see the light? I don't know, and I"m not going to analyze it too much (so hard for me), I'm just glad she wants them!

Today's Challenge:
4 for Friday - List four things that complete your scrapbook layout. Things that you seem to use on every layout (or the majority of your layouts).

1. primas
2. mini brads
3. big letters
4. pattern paper

It's only Thursday?

Got up late because I stayed up all night!! I am such a night owl, but lately I have been trying to go to bed at a normal hour and get up kinda early. I didn't get up today until 10:30. Bad Mary! Took the rabbits to the vet at 2:00 and do not get out of there until 4:00. My day is shot! The rabbits DO NOT like to have their nails clipped, so it's easier to take them to the vet. I do not want to hurt them, or be hurt. Angel even kicked the guy cutting his nails, flung the clippers all the way across the room, haha. I do not want to be on the other end of those hind legs! Now, to make dinner and see if I can pry myself away from this computer to do something. Clean, scrap, pack, something!!

Daily Thought

I receive a daily thought in email every day and I wanted to share this one with you.

God often uses a set back to move us forward.

Sometimes we see the bad experiences in our lives as horrible, and we will never get through them, but if we remember, God knows what he is doing. I have had some experiences lately that have just made me sit back and think.. what the heck is going on here. Now I see they made me move forward. See things in a different light. Grow in myself. Although the experiences were horrible while going through them, I can now see there was a reason... I needed to learn to move forward.

Update on today and blog challenge

Even though it is only 11am.. today has been fantastic!! I had a dr appt at 10am and my blood pressure is NORMAL!!! This is a first in a very long time. We have been through so many different medications that my body was rejecting and we finally found one that works for me! I am so happy. I hate to be on meds, but if I need them, it's good to find one that works without side effects. Ahhh, I feel so much better, woohoo! Courtney is feeling much better, too. She is up and going to a friends house. She is on spring break this week. Hate for her to be sick on her days off. But, that means she doesn't miss any school.
We are still waiting for our follow on base for after Korea. I think they get joy out of making us wait, lol. We knew it would be a while, but we are anxious to know.
After taking Court to her friends and taking Pansy to the vet to get her nails clipped, I am scrapping!!

Sunday blog challenge

Today's Challenge:
When you purchase your scrapping supplies do you tend to buy the "latest & greatest" or just the "oldies but goodies"? I know with so many new products constantly coming out it is hard to keep up sometimes. Do you do your shopping online, locally or a little of both? What is your favorite purchase for this month?

I usually buy the latest and greatest. I have enough old supplies, lol. I shop online because I do not have a LSS. I do have hobby lobby an hour away, but they usually don't have much I want. My favorite purchase for March would be the pressed petal chip chatter 5" letters, so cool.

Blog Challenge... and more

Today's Challenge:

What is your scrapping style? Where do you get your inspiration (ex. sketches, magazines, online galleries, etc)? Has your style changed since you first started scrapping? If yes, how has it changed?

I think my style is more simple, but at times, I do love embellishments. I use sketches on occasion, but most of the time, just go with the flow. I love to browse online galleries, as this is where the good ideas are. Some of the magazines are just too much for me, these days. I prefer to get inspiration from regular scrappers. My style has definintely changed since I first started scrapping. I used deco scissors all the time on everything. I went from deco scissors and sticker sneezes, to collagy, now my pages are simple.

Super simple layout for this evening. In the photo, she has pig tails, but you can't see it very well. I wish I would have been a better photographer when Courtney was little. Almost all of our older photos are pretty crappy, like this one. At least we have some! The black band around the layout is not there, i just added it to see where to crop.

Also, if you pray, could you please keep my sister Martha in your prayers. She is having some medical issues (that I would rather keep personal) and she could use some prayers. I love her dearly and want the best for her. Thanks in advance. :)

Great Aunt Hattie

I started this layout last night, and finished it up today. The letters are a little bad, but I was cutting them half asleep. I'm on Hattie's lap and my sister Martha is in the floor. 1976!!!! I have another layout I want to scrap of Hattie, but my crate paper is still in the mail system somewhere. We have the slowest mail on the earth. I hate being out in the middle of nowhere!



Song for the week: DANIEL POWTER "Bad Day"
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/danielpowter/badday.html

What a day, and it is still Friday!

Courtney is home sick, as I said earlier, but it's been a day. Her temp was 103.7 so I called and asked for her to be seen at the clinic. It's like pulling teeth to be seen there, these days. The dr even seemed upset that she had one more patient for the day (it was 3:45, for goodness sakes) but she saw us anyway. My baby is sick, it isn't like we decided.. hmm, courtney will be sick today to make the clinic mad. Anyway, they did a throat swab, and the 1st one came back negative. Then, she said to have blood drawn to see if maybe it was mono. My poor baby passed out when they took her blood. I wasn't even back there because I had to run an errand back to pediatrics from the lab. I did get there as the guy said.. are you ok? courtney.. courtney?? I need help here! I was like.. that's my baby!! I need in!!! She finally came too, but they did say it took longer than normal. They were thinking of taking her by ambulance into town, but she recovered faster than they thought she would. Shew! So, we go back to ped's and they say it is some type of bacterial infection, could possibly still be strep. We will have to wait for the culture to come back monday. They put her on meds and home we go. What a day. She seems to be feeling better now. On the phone and even asked if she could still go to the movies with her friends. Umm.. that's a "no". Silly girl.
I didn't get to scrap, but hope to tonight after dinner. Just waiting on my crate paper to arrive so I can do the layout of my great aunt Hattie. I enlarged her photo and turned it to sepia. I have found a couple other sites to hopefully call home. I just want to chat with people and have a good time. I don't care who is popular in scrapping, i just want to enjoy it. Just looking for a group of ladies that share the same interest.

Hattie

Last night my sister called and left me a message. My great aunt Hattie passed away. This is such sad news. She was older, but still sad news. Seeing as both of my grandmothers passed away before I was born, Hattie was like a grandmother to me. We used to visit her all the time. I can remember sitting on her brown couch at her house. She and her sister married my grandpa and his brother. They were brothers/sisters. (sisters marrying brothers). It's kinda neat if you think about it. We can't make it in for the services because of time and money, but I hope she knows I would want to be there. Courtney is also home with a fever today, so we can't go anywhere. I am going to scrap a page of Hattie today, will upload later.

Thursday, Thursday

Despite my disappointment this morning, that some took out of context because they can't hear the tone in my voice, today has turned out to be a pretty good day. I'm packing and getting ready to leave NM, thankfully. It feels good knowing we are leaving this place. I hate the fact that Chris is going to Korea for a year, but it was coming sooner or later. I wish later, but I would hate it, then, too. I have listened to the radio all morning on aol, that always makes me feel better. I even changed my screen to PURPLE!!! ;) That's my boring day in a nutshell. I plan to scrap here in a few. Will post my layouts later.

Today......

If a turtle loses his shell, is he homeless or naked????


Couple layouts I did today. Having fun doing the older photos of Courtney, but I don't really have much to say. Just photos and a title. It's been so long, the moments are gone. Still love to look at the photos, but what can you say about them?? Anyway, enjoy....

Well, blogger is being a butt and I can't upload. Will do it later.

I'm really thinking of moving to typepad if blogger keeps acting up, GRRRR!!!

Fifteen years ago, today....

Today my baby turns 15!!! How did this day get here? Fifteen years ago today, I was in the hospital, in severe pain, might I add, ready for this new baby to come into my life. She was perfect, and sweet, and the joy of my life. HOW did 15 years pass so quickly? FIFTEEN!!!! I am taking her flowers to school today, and stopping to get her a cake. We already did bday shopping over the weekend. I just look at her and I can't believe she has grown into such a wonderful young lady. Granted, she does have her days, who doesn't, but for the most part, she is a great kid. She is still the joy of my life and I love her. ::sniff sniff:: my baby is FIFTEEN!!!

Pure Insanity

I feel like I am going in 50 million directions. We are moving the end of summer, but to who knows where. I am supposed to go live with my mother in law, but i'm not 100% sure this is going to happen. Chris has orders to Korea. I have to pack the house. I started a little bit today. I don't have enough boxes. yadda yadda. Do you see a pattern here? I can't even stay on one subject long enough to explain! I feel out of my mind. I am so stressed I can't concentrate on anything. I tried to scrap, hoping it would relieve stress, but it just makes me feel unworthy of most of the other scrappers. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I do. It shouldn't matter to anyone else but me. It's my books, scrap how I want. I just want my pages to be out of this world. ::sigh:: We still do not know our next base. C'mon guys, give us our follow on!!! If we have orders back to Alaska, I am thinking of just moving back while Chris is in Korea. I've done it before. It was hard, but I did it. I'm not that weak. We were going to move in with MIL so we could get all our bills paid off and be debt free when he gets back from Korea. Not so sure this will happen now. MIL was suggesting we buy or rent a house in WV. To me, this meant she wasn't too thrilled with us living with her for a year, but wanted us close by. Chris says it isn't what she was meaning, but I just don't know. Would it be easier if we just went to our next base, wherever that is? It could be SC, AK, FL, etc etc. WHO KNOWS where we are going. That is enough to drive a person insane! Knowing since Dec we are moving, but have NO CLUE where!!!!! We want to buy a house at our next base, also. Umm, kinda hard to house shop (on the internet, of course) if you do not have a destination. If we move ourselves to WV, I have to pack the entire house and pay for it ourselves. We are waiting on some friends to finish their move into town, then we get their boxes. That is another 2-3 weeks or so. I can wait, no big deal, but yes, I am in a hurry to start packing. I get tired very easily and I need to start now or I will never get this house packed. If we let the AF move us, we have to go to the next base. THEN, the AF would pack us. Do I wait for a follow on to see if we want to move to the next base or start packing now? OMG, I am going crazy, seriously!!! Hurry up.. wait.. hurry up.. wait. Will we have enough money to move ourselves? I need someone to tell me what to do, haha. We have been in this situation before, and at the last minute decided to move courtesy of the AF. I hate waiting until the last minute to figure out our lives! I want it all planned and ready. See, if we get orders back to AK and we move to WV for a year, the following year (after Chris gets back from Korea) we will not be getting to AK until Sept. School will have already started in AK and Courtney will miss the first month. This could be for anywhere, actually. The AF denied Chris' request to leave for Korea a month early. They don't give a S&*% about families. They say "family first", but they could care less. I have become very bitter over the years toward the AF. I am thankful Chris has a steady job with a steady paycheck, but I am so bitter for things that have happened. I hate to be this way. Pride, they have diminished my pride. I try to care, but when you are so bitter, it's hard to care. Ok, so I got off track a little. oops! So now...... I try to figure out what to do with our lives. Move to WV, move to the next base. THere are good and bad points to both. ARGH, why can't it be easier??

**edit**
Good news if we go back to AK!! They have a LSS in Fairbanks! I just found it on the web and made me oh so happy. Chris put AK first on his dream sheet (a list of bases we 'want' to go to), then SC, then who knows. I can't remember all the bases he put down. I just know he put AK first. We have been there twice, so I figure they won't let us go back, but you never know. Sometimes I want to go back and sometimes I don't. I never really hated AK, I just hated being lonely. Not much has changed in NM, so I figure this is just a way of life. We rarely have family visit us, we have to make the effort to go visit them. My sister Joanna did visit us in AK, as well as Chris' dad and sister, Leslie. Leslie also came to NM to see us last year. In almost 7 years, we've had 3-4 visits??? But we are expected to go home and visit every time there is a break in school or summer or Christmas. We just can't afford it. And our families seem to get upset if we can't come in. Plus, with all of our animals, it's hard to do anything with them. Boarding is so expensive and taking them with us is a pain. Ok, just wanted to mention the LSS in AK, got off track again.

late night scrapping session

Trying to relieve some stress by scrapping, but staying up all night isn't helping! Just thought I'd add this one before I am off to bed. This is for a sketch challenge.

scrapping again

I did 2 layouts yesterday, but didn't scan one because I didn't really like it. This one I like, but I feel like all my layouts are very similar these days. I still love these old photos of Courtney. I need to scrap faster, though. I have 6 boxes of photos and also a cropper hopper photo thingy full! One day, I may get caught up..... yeah right.

Courtney at about 14 months, playing in my dad's flower pots. The metal plaque reads: Nature speaks softly... you have to listen to it carefully.



Here is another I did today. I have no idea what she is looking at, but I'm guessing a cat.

Thought for today...

If Wyle E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

I'm so dang boring

First, I must apologize for having the most boring blog on the web, haha.

Now, onto my not so excitng news.....

Chris and I went on a 4 wheel drive trip a couple months ago. Below are a few photos of New Mexico.

This hill is way steeper than it looks. The jeeps and trucks had a hard time going up, and coming down.



Thought this one was kinda cool with the mountain faded in the background.



Here are most of the "cars" that were on the trail run. We are way up ontop of a mountain, but you can't tell it from the photo.

Bad hair day

Here are pics of Court's hair from last week. Obviously she is not going to smile. Do you blame her? The photos didn't quite pick up all the color, but you get the idea. Poor kid!

Click to see the pics better.

Bunnies!

Haven't been feeling well the past week due to some new medication, BUT, after getting back this evening, things are better. I have a coffee, mmmm, and some great photos of my babies! Look how sweet they are. They are 2 years old this month! I LOVE these bunnies!!!! ;)

I used a dark purple background, but you can barely see it. Have to have a reason to scrap in PURPLE!

This is my Pansy baby. For some reason, I think the flash, she is a little yellow. She is actually white with some gray/black highlights.



And my Angel baby, omg, this is the cutest pic of him!

I need sleeeeep

You would think sleeping would be an easy thing. I have been having major problems the past week - waking up every 20-30 minutes all night long. I am so exhausted and it's making me grouchy!!! I need sleep. I am sure a nap is in order today. If you IM me and I don't respond, I am asleep on my keyboard! But stick around, I'll wake up in about 20 minutes.


I was just sitting here and looked over to see my cat on top of my scraps of paper thingy! I keep rugs over top of my racks of paper to keep them dust free, and moved this rug over to the scraps (it is a wire cube i put 12x12 folders in). She was just sitting there sleeping like she owned it! haha.

Lesson Learned

What a day! Monday, I took Courtney to get her hair colored. She has wanted purple streaks for ages, so I finally gave in. It is almost her bday, so why not. She has had red streaks before, and they were actually pretty cool. I get there to pick her up, and she has normal highlighs - no streaks. I tell the girl this isn't what she wanted, can we have it redone. Sure, so we make an appt for Wed (last night). Wed night, I explain to the girl she wants STREAKS not highlights. She says, oh, ok. I leave, go back to pick her up. OMG! She did highlights again, with this awful stuff that turned her hair BLUE! First she bleached it, then put the stuff on. So now, Courtney has FOUR different colors in her hair, if not more. Her natural color, the red violet from Monday, the bleached that didn't get colored and this blue/purplish crap! My poor baby. She cried and cried. Chris came home right as we did and was mad because I didn't take care of it RIGHT then. I decided to go get a coloring kit and color it myself, then after getting back home, decided against it. I took Courtney back to JCP this morning and tell them we want a refund. The lady looked and said. "well, that's different". Umm, ya think?? Then she has the nerve to say, "so, what's wrong with your hair?" Does she NOT see there are 4 different colors on this child's head? I explained how she wanted streaks and she kept getting highlights and it is not what she wanted and is definitely not the color she wanted! She offered to redo her hair once again. Umm, no thanks, not a third time. I said we were going somewhere else to get it fixed, and then she had no more questions, just refunded our money. It was easier than I thought it was going to be, but still a pain in the butt. $75 for this crap and we still have to go somewhere to get it fixed. We put our faith into these people because we sure as heck don't know what we are doing. We didn't go to school to be a cosmetologist, so we pay them the money, hoping they know what they are doing. Normally this girl is really good with Courtney's hair, but this time it just didn't work. I want to take a photo of her hair and scrap about it, but I don't think she will let me.
Lesson for today:
Don't be afraid to speak up when you are wronged.

People....

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

btw, changed my template once again. I'm so uncertain, haha.

Grrr

Nasty mood today. Not sure why. Sometimes I just want to sulk in these moods and be miserable. Mood swings from hell. Gotta love days like this.

No title...

Tell my why....
When you are in highschool, you just want to be grown up, be an adult. But when you get out of highschool and into the real world, everyone acts like they are in highschool.

I have been reading some message boards and people in their adult years act like children (not allyscraps, another one!!! -- because allyscraps rocks the casbah and don't let anyone tell you different!)

When I grow up, I want to be a cross between Roseanne and Karen on Will and Grace, haha. I love both of these women. Blunt wit, soooo funny!

Random thought...

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

Up way too late

Before I go to bed, yes, at 2am, I just wanted to ask....
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

BTW, I was up so late because I was working on this. It was a pain in the *bleep*, but I think it turned out ok. Not sure this altering phase is for me. Way too much frustration.

Pick a station!

Decided to take Courtney shopping at JCPenney for some new outfits. I knew in the beginning I was taking a chance, haha. Shopping was actually ok. Usually we fight over her trying clothes on. I think she is starting to get the hint that not every piece of clothing is made the same way. She didn't find much, but I think our JCP is about as big as 7-11. So, off to walmart we go. The parking lot is packed. Nowhere to park. I look at Courtney and say, We need a coffee, then lets go home! After getting our coffee, she decides she wants to pick a station on the radio. Mind you, we are in the middle of nowhere and finding a good station is almost impossible. We have 2 stations in town, a top 40 and a country. Everything else comes out of El Paso or Las Cruces. Needless to say, STATIC! She doesn't want to use the seek button that finds a station automatically, she wants to use the seek button that moves .2 on the radio! A 30 minute drive home, listening to static. I was ready to toss the radio out the window. She is the type of person that just will not quit, too. I love her, but sometimes I could just smack her! ;) Thank goodness I had coffee or I would have snapped.

Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug.

Some pics of the animals. Going to do a photo shoot of the bunnies tomorrow. Maybe the puppies, too!

Pepper aka Pepperoni

Callie aka Calico

Princess aka fat cat

Ho Hum

Sometimes it's hard to be married to a military man. The hours suck, and so does the pay. Chris is working 12 hour shifts and will continue for 2 weeks without weekends off. I feel so bad for him. He is so tired. We rarely get to see each other during these times because he is so exhausted from work, he either falls asleep on the couch or goes to bed early. Maybe I'm bored, maybe I'm whiney. Not looking forward to the year in Korea, either.

More later, just had to whine.

Just remember...
There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the injured.

Scrappin Momma

Layouts I created yesterday:

Chris as a baby.. awwww


Two Easter layouts from 1992



And finally, a sleepy layout of Courtney when she was about 13-14 months.

TGIF

My life is so boring I have nothing to write about! I get up, everyone is gone. Courtney is at school, Chris has left for work. I sit here with the animals all day. Although I do talk to them, they don't talk back - with words. I need a life. Anyone have one for sale?

Random Thought:
Whenever I feel blue... I start breathing again. (this cracks me up)

Baby FIshies

Here are the fishies. There are 2 babies, but only 0ne in the pics. The other baby is smaller and hides more.

Day 2, can this continue?

Well, decided to change my template. For those of you that have seen the blog..... you may notice. If not, surprise!
People, I am addicted to the internet. I have no life. I decided when we moved here that I was not going ot try to make friends. Why, you ask? Every base we have lived, I have made a few friends that would stab you in the back, be childish, etc. Don't get me wrong. I have made a couple nice friends along the way, but the majority I could do without. Why is it so hard to find honest, fun people to be your friends. I know it sounds crazy, but I have made better friends ON the internet. People I can joke with and also tell my sorrows. Maybe it is just the military life style. All the moving around, no one seems like they belong? I just know I am tired of playing their games and prefer to be a hermit!
Anyway, wasn't sure where this was going, but I am addicted to the internet. I check my mail several times a day. I am ALWAYS checking the boards at www.allyscraps.com That is my new favorite place on the web. The ladies (and gents) are the best! I need to get to my scrap table and do some scrappin!! I printed a pic of Chris when he was a wee little baby. Can't wait to scrap that photo.

Random thought #1

Why is it called a "pair" of panties if it is one piece of clothing? A pair of pants? (2 legs maybe?) You don't have a pair of shirts or a pair of bras? Unless you are really talented, that is.
