Studio Calico, BABY!

I did it! I took the plunge and asked Scarlet for a sub to Studio Calico. I've been drooling over these kits since they debuted last year. And I've been *swoon*ing over these kits since I received my first one in April. Oh. My. Word. Packed full of yummy goodness, neat mixtures of things, exclusive items, and a great price! I can't wait for December!

I'm so lazy

So I visit my own blog - not to document anything newsworthy for the day, but to find the links to the things I like to visit. I'm too lazy to put them here AND bookmark them. *sigh*

But, the good thing is I get to see my cute blog banner. I dunno, I just LOVE it! I wonder what I'll come up with for Christmas.

Off to watch tv!

I love ScrapStars!

Or maybe it's that I just love challenges. Whatever the case, I love seeing what challenge they come up with each week.

Here is my take on the current challenge which is to scrap a nickname. I didn't think it would be appropriate to scrap Carson and call it "Bully" or scrap Jacob and call it "Fart Boy" - so I went with "Whirling Dervishes". Is that even how one spells dervishes??? The point is, it was either call it this or call it "Flying Screaming Monkeys"!

And I'm still using pieces from the November A Kiss on the Chic kit! Girls, I'm telling you, this kit is uber packed!!!

Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader

Well, really, we're doing are you smarter than a 6th grader. We're overachievers over at http://www.thescrappingspot.com/ and we can't stop with just 5th grade. Jill posted the first challenge for 3rd grade today and I whipped out this digi page (elements from Michelle Underwood and Shabby Princess and sketch from www.pencillines.com):



She challenged us to scrap "history" as that's the subject for 3rd grade. I picked this picture from Christmas 2004 when we lived in Europe. These little windmill type things are in every town. I miss Germany.

A Dark Cloud

Yes, a dark cloud is hanging over us - literally and figuratively. It's FREEZING, cloudy, and rainy outside. At the football game this morning, we went from windy cold, to drizzle, to hot sun, back to cold, more drizzled, more sun, more wind and cold....it's madness!

The figurative cloud is the fact that football season is now over. While I'm glad to have my weeks and nights back for the first time since July, I am sad it's over. Really, it's going to take me a little while to get used to having the time to cook dinner, check homework, make the boys bathe, take Jacob to karate, etc. It's just all been put on the back burner for months. OK, so the boys have bathed but really not enough. *ewww*

The football team did such a great job! We played the defending champs today and we almost pulled it off. We scored and it was called back for holding. What??? Last 2 minutes of the game and we've just scored a game-tying touchdown and NOW the refs call the FIRST holding penalty of the game??? And to make matters worse, we watched the video a little while ago and there was no holding. Referees shouldn't determine the outcome of a game like that. Oh well, time to focus on other things and get ready for baseball season.

I'm not feeling scrappy today. It's dark outside, it's dark inside, there's football on tv, and I just want to veg today. Maybe tomorrow I'll scrap and post some fun things.
