Relief after a semester from H*LL

Well this semester just about kicked my A$$, but it is over and I needed some ME time so I decided to dedicate this week to scrapping after the little one is in bed. I will start working on some Halloween cards this week too; hope to post them soon. Well here are 2 that I have done so far this week. I have to say I love the new Basic Grey letters! They are too cute. I also finally got the use the fancy pants glitter cuts. I think it came out pretty cute!

Well as soon as I get some Halloween cards done I will post them. Now I am just waiting for Business Law class and Accounting II, yeah me - two more classes closer to GRADUATION!

Have a great week!

Well it has been a while!

I have not blogged for quite some time it seems. I have had been crazy with the end of my first semester back at school and we also had a passing in our family. My dear Papaw (Mom's Dad) passed away after spending a month in the hospital. It was extremely hard on everyone. Between almost daily visits to the hospital and regular daily stuff, it really took a toll on me. I needed to step away from the blog, scrapping and extra luxury stuff.



I am just starting my second semester of classes and this term will be a tough one. LOTS of writing. Wish I could just submit my blog! :) Guess that would be classified as Informal writing uh! Oh well. I did a new LO last night using some of the Glitz papers. I really loved this picture of my son and thought the papers really made the colors stand out.


The papers are fun just like him. This kid makes my day! He is tough and smart and really makes being a parent a great challenge. We have been pretty busy since my last post with scouts and family life as well. Both my hubby and I have had birthdays, a new baby was born in the family, a passing of my grandpa, Scout Rocket Derby and Summer Wrap up, as well as my Nephew's 8th Birthday! Wow that is crazy. So here are some pictures of my last 2 months. Hopefully I will be back to posting everyday. And for Laverne watch out for the weather from the window picture to come back! So far today the picture looks the same. :)

Today is just the BEGINNING

So today I took the plunge and started back to school.

I am going to finish my Business Degree in just 18 short months! I am very excited. I have joined the Online world of classes. So cool to go to school in your jammies! What could be better???

So for now blogging will be a total outlet for me. So there my be ranting over NOT having anytime for scrapping, but I hope that once I get into the swing of things I will get my scrapping mojo back and post some new stuff. I think at least 2 nights a week after the little one is in bed will be ME time and that will be for scrapping. Wish me luck.

Well today was a great day - my little one has been working on an inventor project for school. 2nd grade can you believe it. He had to write a 5 paragraph paper complete with note cards, rough draft, final copy, cover page as well as a diarama, (not sure I spelled that right). Once that was turned in he had to give a presentation to the class - dressed up like his inventor etc. Well he chose Thomas Edison. He LOVES Thomas Edison and wants to be an inventor when he grows up. TOO FREAKIN CUTE.. Well off to school he went dressed in one of Daddy's white dress shirts that passed for a lab coat, complete with pencils in the pocket, dress pants etc. well needless to say he was cute! Armed with note cards, a light bulb and of course a scrapbook page that I did from the year we took him to the Edison House in Ft. Myers, FL off he went. Well now for the grade on all of this......drum roll please.......97. yeah I was sooo excited for him. He really worked hard on it. I will try and take pics tonight and post them tomorrow. Well that is all for now - have a great night! and go invent something.
