I forgot to post these cute photos of the kids getting our dogs blessed.. they were just so excited....
So they were blessed by our new priest Father Lee..
what a fun experience for the kids..

forgot to add this to this post for today.. i made this for the one little word blog i am in love with this layout.. and i also used it for the color combo challenge blog i really have never used these colors together and found them so pretty in the photo that i had to use this photo with that challenge.. and i am really inspired by One little word..

thanks

Happy Birthday Wendy.. love you so much..
had a great time with her yesterday watching the game..

some of my friends ask me how i organize my ribbon well here are some photos..
very easy way to keep colors together and i can put them in a cd holder case that is pretty.. and the ribbon that is on the spools.. so this is what i use for the loose ribbon that i buy by the yard..

well with all that out of me yesterday i did 2 layouts that i finished.. pretty happy about these.. i can always put paper together it is the elements and the design that gets me.. just taking it day by day with this.. still haven't finished the ones undone yet.. i might never.. and that is not normal to me..
i am getting some kits in so i will get it back i know.. especially when my polka dot kit comes in.. i get a lot of inspiration from her kits and scarlet lime.. i think my scarlet lime will be here later this month.. i don't go to my scrapbook store much anymore because i get kits now.. and it is great.. i order most of my stuff online now because it is such a hassle to go to the scrapbook store in savannah.. so i save a lot of money that way.. and i get the newest stuff too..

this layout of me and dad is for a challenge at mosy scrapper i am really enjoying this website.. love all the challenges and the people are very nice and funny... which is a great combo..and they have a online crop, so if you haven't checked it out go check it out.. won't hurt..
have a great Friday everyone.
Go DAWGS...

do you ever get discouraged?
well i am right now.. i have 4 layouts undone.. half done.. and i am very discouraged.. i just don't have the mojo to finish them.. i go blank.. and i am realizing that i feel let down.. and i need to go back and understand that i do this to get my creative ideas out.. i do scrapbook because i want my children and there children to have these memories..
so i need to reorganize my room or something to get back to where i was.. where i want to be and not blank.. my friend Kim sent me an email and explained why i am feeling this way and i didn't realize it until that email.. what a "wow" moment for me.. i know there are good things to come in my future but right now i am having a pretty hard time understanding that..

and i know that David is going through the same thing with his job he can't get promoted... he is the top manager and he is also discouraged.. wish he could take a vacation but that isn't happening until after Christmas..

does anyone else feel discouraged?

i am posting my halloween mini album i did from a kit i purchased polka dot whimsy i really love these kits she has every month.. i made it just the way she had it on the website.. and the main kit i made that one the same way..


the other 2 layouts i just got inspired from some sketch sites.. and i have one of Cole but i am stuck.. so will post that one when i can get unstuck..





have a great monday..

10-5-08

i have been updating this blog.. think the cupcakes are a little old now.. fall is here so why not.. i haven't had much sleep the last couple of days.. so making this short and wanted to add i found this cool message board that opened this weekend.. some people find those big message boards a little intimidating so if you want to visit come over to a page at a time met some wonderful people already there.

also i think i might leave with Cole's project he did this week. he worked really hard on it.. it is a Hobi's home.. he chose the hardest project for his class.. we are very proud of the time he took into making it the best.. he took these pictures..



later everyone

10-4-08

Today we are taking our dogs Reagan and Rainbow to our church to be blessed.. Rainbow is our newest dog.. someone dumped her off at Richard and Lillian's home (my in laws) and she followed us to the road we stopped she jumped in the car and now she is ours.. i think Jameson and Gracie named her rainbow if i am not mistaken.. She barks all night at the cows and other things that are in the yard.. and Reagan doesn't really like her either.. I think it is the power thing with Reagan though.. funny how dogs react to each other..

Today is also Odum Day.. not really up to going though.. i really just want to relax at home.. on saturdays i am usually getting ready for the game and this week we have a week off so i really just want to take it easy today..

Ivy is teething like crazy.. the drool, the up all nights are really getting to me.. thank goodness my job is slowing down so i can take one of the days off and rest..
Also her are some photos of my current layouts.. i just got back lots of the wedding photos.. dying to do some.. oh so want to do some.. i have got some ideas in my head of some of the layouts i want to do from the wedding..i am also taking another class GET IT SCRAPPED some really cute projects for Halloween.. think i might make some for a friend of mine that loves Halloween.. and some ideas for school treats for the holidays...








have a great weekend..

10-3-08

here are some other layouts i did in the last week or two..




i want to start on some projects for christmas gifts so things might be slow here.. i did make a few mini albums i need to take photos of.. a halloween one and a summer 07 one.. and i made a halloween banner for inside and a georgia wreath that is hanging on my door..

have a great friday..

10-1-08

i am in such trouble with this book

if you are a reader.. this is a must read.. going to order the next book so i don't go insane when i finish with this one..
love story and vampires.. can't go wrong.. and if you like vampire stuff.. also true blood on hbo is pretty good too.. not as good as this book though.

I also got a honorable mention at this website
Little red scrapbook very honored to be even on the list.. i was shocked to see my name..

Happy October..

9-29-08

Danielle was so beautiful.. I was taken away.. Danielle had Jameson a robe made with flower girl on the back and her name on the front.. and this was also her first time with rollers in her hair.. she loved every minute of it.. so she posed for the camera..

another note... i am really going to miss Larry Munson. He has been on the radio calling University of Georgia games for 43 years now. I listen to the game on the radio and turn the sound down on the tv. now it is going to be so different with out him calling the games.. i will miss him so much.

If 5 years is this fast don't know what 10 or 25 will be.. i think it is the kids that make things go so fast....

i have had this stomach virus for about 4 days now.. think i lost 5 pounds from not eating.. don't know where i got it, Jameson was sick Saturday morning and then Sunday after i was sick David got it.. now it seems we are all better.. i just don't have my energy back and the house is a disaster..

i didn't get to go to danielles shower.. i didn't do the coffee hour at church (although i had everything made so that was good).. so i felt pretty awful.. didn't go to work either..

so making this short for right now. until i feel like doing something.. i guess from not having enough fluids these couple of days.. so i am drained just from doing the laundry and keeping up with Ivy.. will be back later in the week.. when i get my strength back.

9-6-08
