Another Simple Christmas Card

I am REALLY getting to like the FREE CLIP ART you can find on the internet. I have tried to color, shade, and draw my whole life...but I stink! So I love that these are already colored in and I can just go with the colors they give me. For this one I used my creative Memories oval cutters and paper and punches from SU!  Yoyo yellow (retired), garden green (102584 $6.95), real red (102482 $6.95), whisper white (100730 $8.50 40 sheets). Stamp set...heard from the heart (120006 416.95 set of 4) and star punche ( 119875 $16.95)

This one is being entered into Stamp Somethings... Digi Challenge and Cute Card Thursday anything goes.

A lil mini vaca.... Sunday Share (a little early)

We went to San Diego for 2 days. I thought it would be a nice little get-a-way for my family since we have been so broke and out of work for sooooo long. We had a couple of garage sales and were able to save up $300 and so we went away. We went to Sea World, The Gas Lamp District, and the beach. We did lots in just two days... but even just the getting away and staying in a hotel is so much fun! We got the Sea World passes becasue if you buy a day you get a year free and free parking, so it's $9 a month for each of us.... we will be visitng it a lot.. even my daughter figured out that we will have the passes during the summer so "We can go a lot!"

Today I have to go pick up all the fall product that the girls sold for Girl Scouts and then Sunday we are going to do a 5K before church! The Mission Inn Run. Even though I didn't pay for it.. we are just going to do it for fun!

Thanksgiving Thoughts

This was one of the cards that I received from a Fall Birthday Swap on SCS that I was in. I love doing these swaps because you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes I get beautiful cards from talented people...then sometimes I get...well, let's just say Tina and I have this saying, "Better luck next time!" I really liked this card becasue it was so simple. The sketch is an easy one to CASE (copy and share everything) and the punch is SU! punch Decorative Label 120907 $16.95 . The main card is made with More Mustard (one of my favorite colors from SU!)  The DSP is Autumn spice 120808 $11.95

Some of my friends on FB decided to be thankful everyday for something...I like that idea. I am going to write something down on my calendar and on Thanksgiving share all my thankfulness with everyone....especially my family.

Simple Christmas

The challenge this week at Polka Doodles was simple Christmas...and this stinkin' cute card is just that. I googled FREE CHRISTMAS CLIP ART and of course came up with tons. I picked some out that I liked and copied and pasted them into a Word document and then printed them out. It was so easy... no coloring, which I am terrible at. I just cut out the three tags, put a silver brad (104336 $6.95) thru them and glued them down. Then I stamped the saying from Heard from the heart (111644 $22.95) and it was on Whisper White (11730 $8.50) and mounted on Pacific Point (111350 $6.95)... and a snowflake (119852 $16.95) to top it off, all from SU! except for the clip art.

Thanksgiving Cards

Here are some more of the cards that I received for the Fall theme birthday swap on SCS. I LOVE this owl punch (SU! 118074 Two-Step Owl $16.95). Aren't they the cutest and sooo simple to make. I am going to have my girl scouts make a whole bunch of these for a craft show that we are doing to raise money for the Juliette Gordon Low foundation. I think we will make Christmas owls. Stay tuned....

Thanks for Stamping by!

Clixk on my name to do some Christmas shopping now!

You've got a friend in me!

Over at Scrap it with a song... You've got a friend in me... is the pick of the week. How perfect that is because on Friday Family night we watched Toy Story 3. My most favorite place is being anywhere with my children-they are my reason for everything!

This page was done in 5 minutes with the MDS (My digital studio) from SU! THis is the Hoppy Memories kit. Soo stinkin cute! Click HERE to go to my store and check it out!

Cute lil' girl

This was a secret mystery swap on SCS. A different hostess every month sends out 6 different stamped images and then we have to create a card and send four back to the hostess. Then we get 3 different ones back, the hostess gets to keep one of the four. So I am not sure which company she is from...but isn't she stinkin cute!


The paper is pretty in pink and basic black from SU! The flower paper is paper I had in my supply room, and the flower punch is an old SU! punch. I think she might be the cutest card I have ever made.

Samantha's Sunday Share

What a fun little week we had. Not to busy...just kinda recovering from Halloween. We had the usual day care kids plus 2 extra on Thursday because the Temple was closed where they go to day care. My friend Janel came over and vented about how horrible some of the teachers and her principle are being to her. I feel so bad for her. I can't believe these people call themselves teachers. UGH...I don't like not being able to fix things.
Savannah had soccer practise on Monday and Wednesday. I cleaned my friends Kristy's house on Mondays. Tuesday we went to the library to get some books on Amelia Earhart for an explorer report that Savannah has due on the 17th. We voted for Meg Whitman (she lost, but were not upset.. we just picked the lesser of the two evils.) We voted no on 19- to easy to just start growing some marijuana just becasue...heck I might even try it..I do like to garden...lol!

Speaking of gardening I have a heck of a time with the simple things. Lemon trees and squash are supposed to be so easy to grow, but yet I can't grow a squash to save my life. I did manage after 2 years to get 5 meyer lemons out of my miniature tree. Today I picked the first one...It was delicious. My daughter and I shared it with some salt. YAHOO!

Wednesday is my Weight Watcher night. I was up 1.8 lbs but I am ok with that....after Halloween and a good dinner. Thursday is our relax day :)

Friday is Family night...We watched Toy Story 3 for the first time and have now watched it 4 more times not even 24 hours later.

Sunday Morning off to the Grove after sleeping in for an extra hour....yeah right not with Shawn in the house...and then off to home fellowship in the evening. I am hoping to get a couple pages scrapbooked today also......til later!

Happy November

I went to the local pumpkin patch before Halloween, which was at a local church about a 1/2 mile from my house and they had a few craft items for sale along with the pumkins. There was a pile of handmade cards for $1 each so I snatched them up! I don't know where the stamps or paper came from but I thought I would share so you could just enjoy them, use them for some ideas, or CASE them. The creator of the cards was Lisa (signed on the back of the cards) Enjoy!

Happy October! is over :(

Buddy up against drugs...Red Ribbon Week at Alcott

WOW! what a truely amazing October! So much to share....

We started going to The Grove a church that we got married at 14 years ago (used to be called VCC Victoria Community Church and used to be around the corner from our house it is now a mega chuch about 5 miles away from us.) We have been torn on finding a HOME church simply because we have been going to Calvary Chapel Moreno Valley (CCMV) for 16 years and we don't feel as if we belong yet. I know a lot of it falls on us becasue we only go on Sunday mornings and we don't serve where we are needed or get involved. But I feel it has always been a cliquish church. If your in..you get special benefits ....if your not in... you don't. They have a waitng list for people to go on that can't afford everything that they have going on...so with us both being out of work...I put us on the waiting list (for another family to sponser us) to go to Family Camp, a tradition CCMV has been doing for many years. Unfortunaetly, NO ONE paid for my family to go. I also put my name on a waiting list for a book for the Ladies Bible Study and again no response. The fact that the pastor still doesn't know my husband's or my name still kinda frustrates me. Robin the pastor's wife does know me and hugs me when I see her...but if I don't show up for monthes at a time...no one calls to see where we are at, or if everything is ok? But then again I don't wanna find a SMALL church where everyone knows me....cuz' then I would have to be too involved! I do feel blessed to be able to try new churches and go to where God is calling us...even it is in His time and not mine. So as of right now we are attending both churches. The Grove on Sunday mornings and CCMV (home fellowship) on Sunday evenings.

Savannah is always number 10!

Steven and I took up coaching Savannah's soccer team for AYSO becasue there was a shortage of coaches. WE SUCK! or well I don't really know if it's us so much as the team. We were really getting beat bad for the first 4 or 5 games and then we got a new player and we were doing much better (still not winning but only losing by 1 point.) But this last Saturday we got beat again 0-8. So not really sure we will continue on as coaches, even though Steven was talking to another coach last night about Spring Season???? Savannah says she wants to play..... She is just like her mom..into everything but perfects NOTHING....ugh!

Savannah was going to start playing piano again but then school started and she took up trumpet and as of today she has not practised once. She wants to play volleyball now...this after taking swimming and horseback riding this summer.

Aunt Boop makes the cutest costumes again this year!

Shawn is growing like a weed. I feel bad that he is not in school, but I do preschool with him on Tuesdays when I babysit Emily ( a neighbor's little girl- we switch off, she takes Shawn on Thursday's :) He is such a joy and fun little guy..but VERY trying at times.

 I am STILL the Girl Scout LEader of Troop 526. What a FUN bunch of girls. I really hope that I am making a difference a least a little bit in at least one of their lives...but sometimes I feel like Girls just wanna have fun....ALL THE TIME! I had 8 parties that I had to go to this Halloween season. This one was the girl scout party at the Easlands.. the first of a whole lot of parties! It was a lot of fun. We did our ceremony, ate, played a couple of games and then went to the Utterbach's haunted house.

Then we had a school dance that Steven DJ'd, put on by Tammy Wamsley...she did great! Then a party at my friend Tina's and another one at Steven's friend George's in Victorville. and on and on and on!

 

We ended the Halloween Celebration Season with a block party in our cul-de-sac. FUn Fun FUn!

 It was soooo much fun...but I am so glad that OCTOBER IS OVER!!!!!
