Hellooo...anybody in here??? lol

I'm backkkkkkkkkkkk....lol I know its been a long time coming, and seriously

I didn’t think I would ever get back into scrappin again.

A lot of things have happened and although I won't bore

anyone with the details, to make a long story short,

I have lost a few peeps in my life and it some how affected

me in some weird way. As much as I tried to scrap, it just wasn’t

coming to me. I know I am not the only one this happens to as

I have seen a lot of peeps gone from scrappin these days.

I am just one of the lucky ones who found their way back.

I didn't even know it was happening, it just happened.

So for the past few weeks I've been making layouts again

and I gotta say, its GOOD to be back! I've missed so

many of my friends here and I can't wait to meet some new ones too.

So now that life seems to be getting back to normal

(yeah right! as normal as it can be! LOL)
and scrappin is back in my life I figured I would start this blog thing again,
and KimB was gracious enough to keep me on her team! Gosh, I really
do love her work and she is coming out with some

fantastic things, and of course I've been playing with

everything I can get my hands on...lol So within a few days

you'll see what I have come up with.

Today I am going to start the Color Challenge at DSO...

man, its been so long since I've done one of those, thank God we got all month...lol

But first I want to show off what I've been doing the last few weeks...

I have to apologize for not having the credits for these,

as I didn’t think I would need them for my blog at the time

I was doing them, just want to say that none of this was made by me,

and if you see your stuff, know that I loved it enough to use it!

And from here on out, credit will be given.

My favorite subject to scrap is my family..especially my niece and nephews..

Yeah, I do have 2 girls, but they don't like getting their

pictures taken these days and its okay with me, cause I don't

want to remember these teenage years anywayyy! lol
My sister Kim actually thanked me the other week for taking

so many pictures of her kids through the years, she had all her

pictures on camera, and little Zander got her camera and deleted

all her photos...which wouldn’t be too bad if her computer just

didn’t crash and she lost everything! Hopefully she learned the

lesson of SAVING stuff onto a disc!

Anywayyy here are some layouts I did...

These are my niece and nephews last summer...

This photo was taken Thanksgiving, felt like altering it a bit...lol My sister doesnt live by the mountains and there isn't a lake in her yard either...lol

Zach turned 5 in January, this kid is a pistol!

And now a message to all my Facebook game buddies:
Gosh I loved playing the games and it really has helped me escape
life some days. And although I will never give up FB, cause I
really do love keepin in touch with everyone, I am giving up
a lot of my games. Ohh not all of them, cause that would be just wrong!!!
LMAO But I am going to keep just 3 of them going. That way I can still
play with you guys...lol And to my Bejewel Friends, and you know who you are... SORRY! that is one that I will keep playing...hehehe
You guys will know which ones I not playing anymore...lol
I will not delete the games, cause as you know, the more friends
you have for these games, the better game you play. I just want
and need to find time for my scrappin again, I know you'll all understand!

Well, its Monday and that means I gotta go stupid food shoppin or this family of mine will starve to death...lol So have a great day and I will be back later this week with some surprises! lol
