Where have I been?

We have had the flu this week. Collin stared it. I'm blaming him. Or one of our several friends who have it. Or Collin's school. Anyway, it is not my fault. Collin got on Tamiflu right away...Billy took nothing. Collin was hyper and only ended up with a crazy fever. Billy was curled up in the fetal position in bed for several days. I don't feel well, but it might be exhuastion. I was desparately wanting to create some things this week. I feel like I just never have time anymore. Or the energy to stay up past the kids bedtime. LOL

I feel like I am getting farther and farther behind on my layouts. I need to stop taking so many pictures...I have too much fun working on pictures I took last week and the older photos slip farther and farther behind.

Did you know that you can print your own background paper? Of course you did, but there are sites that have grid, graph and lined paper that you can print at home. Love it! Use it all the time! I used some grid paper for the clouds in this card.

I bought some super cute halloween stamps...now if I could find more time to use them. :) Here are two cards I tried.

Someone please tell me when my daughter starts school next year that I will have more time for the stuff I love!

My Birthday

On October 12th...I turned 34. Yes, you heard me. I am not afraid to say it...I know TONS of people older than I am, so I am not afraid of that number. LOL I got many lovely presents for my birthday...but now is the time to give a play by play about my present from the lovely Pam. Since she was not here to see me open it, I took lots of pictures so she would not miss a second. Unfortunately that means I am in most of them. LOL

You spoil me! I am so blessed to have a friend like you!
