Samantha's Sunday share #12

Ok so this is now becoming more a Monday share but.... oh well!

Monday nght we had a GS movie and popcorn night. The girls came dressed int heir PJ's and we watched Baby's Day Out, Had M&M's, Pizza, and Popcorn. It was lots of fun then we sang happy birthday tot he Girl Scouts. We earned three patches just for tonight!

Tuesday- was BUNCO! We have such a great group of girls- Unfortunately I suck at luck and have none to win- I can't even win the Biggest Loser Prize????? Bailey- who is so stinkin adorable won both the pots and My BFF Debbie won last Buncobasket with lots of neat goodies!

Wednesday- Was sooo crazy I can't even remember what I did

Thursday- We had Piano and then I had to rush to See's candy to pick up a thank you gift for our PTA president- Judy Bailey (another BFF) who I love soooo much! and then to Staters to get some flowers and I had to go to the post officebut I can't remember if I went and I can't find the letters anywhere- so.... I hope I did????

Friday night was my scrap class and my two wonderful friends Pam and Mel came over and the pages were so stinkin cute- look for the next post!

Saturday- I was up at 5:30am cleaning and at a pancake breakfast at 7:30am and then BB pics, and then to the cookie cupboard and then back home and then back to the cupboard and then to Staters to make sure they set up the booth and didn't need anything. Then back home- then to the booth and a BB game at 2pm (thank GOD for my hubby!) Then home for the evening! Whew!

Another one for the family

Here is another one I made for my family. This one is for my Stevie, my nephew, who lives with us. He is doing so well in school, Boy Scouts, and Baseball.

Not sure when i will give it to him- but my kids love notes int hier lunches- so maybe then? This was another image from the swap that Denise hosted.

Cute Card Thursday

Over at CCT they had a card to make.... anything for your family, I thought .... Boy I am in trouble if I can't complete this challenge???? They are the MOST important thing to me- and I feel so horrible that I have been soooo cranky lately- short and nasty, so I made sure to make a little something for my truely wonderful prescious angel of a daughter! This was a stamped swap that I had gotten froma swap that Denise had done last month- I love this lil' guy! I do think I need some COPICS! Maybe the Easter Bunny will fill my basket with some???

Samantha's Sunday Share #11

Last Sunday we spent gardening before we were off to do another cookie booth. My friend Kristi gave me these yummy tomato plants- so all the tomatos off of it will be completely FREE!

Then it was off to Stater Bros. Market to sell the cookies. My nephew is the manager of the store we got so it's kinda fun having him around!

Tuesday we had to talk Stevie into missing Boy Scouts (His #1 choice) for baseball to get his uniform, he HAS to miss Thursday's to do a parenting class with his mom (which he asked me tonight on how he can get a girl to notice him- Emily at the parenting clases- shhh, it's a secret!)

Wednesday- We signed Savannah up for swimming! (YEAH- third times a charm- the last two years we missed the sign-ups and it was too full) And- TADA.... I met my 5% weight loss goal at Weight Watchers!!!! I had lost a few before starting it- so total so far 22 lbs... bye bye!

Thursday was piano and babysitting and parenting classes for Stevie- and FINALLY Daddy came home from the hospital! Yahoo- my bother came down and took us to Steer n Stein for dinner- YUMMO!

Friday was cookie booth

and Saturday was cleaning and card swapping!!!! (stay tuned for the posts on the cards!)

Hope you has a great week and are ready to start a new one!

Beate's Weekend Sketch #73

Beate came back a couple of weekends ago with her weekend sketch challenge and love them. Cambria hosted this one- I love this sketch. I used a good egg stamp set. The paper was old c/s from SU! Make sure and check them out!

A Punch Monkey

Here is a little punch monkey I made because as I was scrapbooking I needed a little something more. So I went to Split Coast and searched punch monkeys and this is what I saw. So I CASED it and added it to my page- now it is soooo cute. He was super simple with the circle and oval punches.

Shawn's 1st haircut at Monkey DOOZ!

A little treat from my Sharon

Can't believe that I have slacked so bad on my blogging. I have NOT lost my mojo- I refuse too!!! I have been sooo busy with cookie boothes with Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts Pine Wood Derby, Baseball practice, Weight watchers, work, family, PTA, volunteering at the school, and on top of it all my dad was rushed to the hospital this morning.... AGH!!!!!

So I decided I don't care how late I have to stay up.... I was getting my scrapbook stuff in order on Saturday (whih I did!) and getting some blogging done tonight (here you go)!

Here are some of the events of Girl Scouts during the past couple of weeks-

International Day 2009

Here is my super , wonderful, smart, talented daughter getting her multiplication master award......

oh... and another high honors medallion! (she is our future doctor- she is so interested in Tubercolosis right now- she was talking to the nurse at the emergency room all about it tonight!)

Here are my kids with their Pine Wood Derby cars- Stevie the boyscout, took 2nd place overall and my daughter the Girl Scout, took 1st place over all (well if she could- her's was the fastest - can I say girls rule, boys drool?)

Really we are working with sStevie on dressing and eating- he is much better but doesn't have it quite perfected yet! He ate 4, 1...2...3...4!!!! Hot dogs all by himself tonight!

Then of course with all the busyness- I just want to go to bed and sleep and my husband the party animal (who doesn't have to deal with half the stuff I do.... but is an AWESOME hubby) wants to party so we head off to "The Office" a club in Orange to hear an 80's band called members lonely. I was awake since 3:30AM- so I LOVE this pic of us- not too shabby hey?

Last but not least my lil' guy has a field trip with his preschool to ride the train - so we are off early Sunday morning- this is a picture of him and his teacher Miss Sandra.

That's funny pillow box

Another GREAT Sizzix die from Stampin UP! The pillow box (113446 $19.95) is so cute, fun, and easy. I made this one for my club tonight. After making it I thought how cute it would be as a tooth fairy gift? Which little child would not like this little box stuffed with some $$$$ from the tooth fairy????

I used only orange, WW, and orchid opulence papers

That's funny and Pun Fun stamp set

and all the wonderful SU! markers

Stamp Something - Winter cards

Well, I guess I really want winter to be over (or just wasn't feeling any winter cards) so I thought bashful blue is winterey (is that a word?) and I had to make some sympathy cards so here is what I came up with.

I used bashful blue and night of navy cs

brilliant blue ink

close as a memory stamp set and eastern blooms (all SU!)

Samantha's Sunday Share #8

Hey Hey Hey Hey

What is going down doggy diggity? Can you tell what kind of funny/silly mood I am in? Sometimes you just gotta throw your hands up and say I give up. Steven got laid off and we are without any savings left and well- I can't make an equity payment or the house payment. But we have our health!

We had another busy week with Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and BUNCO (I did win my $10 back thank God- for being the biggest loser!)

Friday we went to Garden Grove to a funeral for our dear sweet friend Horace. We hope you are rejoicing at our Father's feet!

Saturday we had to go pick up 1300 boxes of girl scout cookies and then I had my card swap- again the girls blew me away with their creations. Today we went to church- Super Target (The Lactaid milk is cheapest at Target- go figure) and Hiking in Sycamore Canyon. Have to get some activity points in- I am a little negative in the points department this week.

On a lighter note today at church our Pastor went over his notes for the last month...

He covered...

Where is your treasure? (Hopefully, you have built it in Heaven and not here on earth)
What are you looking at? What are you watching and listening to?
Who is your Master? (You cannot serve two gods!)
Why are you worried? (If God is for me then who can be against me?)

We are in Matthew- I think it's my favorite book in the bible- not that I have read them all- but I really like it! Have a great week and remember to keep your eyes focused on Him!
