typepad comment update-
You can send me comments...i think. They will go directly to my spam folder and I will retrieve them from there..Typepad is currently "working" on re-routing them (insert frown) Isn't spam meat in a can??? I know someone who likes spam. I don't..not right now anyway!
I do....and my poor family has had to eat on tv trays or standing at the counter for the past week because I have taken over the kitchen table ( yes, I have a shead-teau that I could work in...)
I received a big box from my friend Teresa Collins with all of her new lines coming out next week (insert me squealing) and I have been knee deep in paper for the past 7 days, pretty much...around the clock except for when I had to stop yesterday to take a certain son of mine named Ben...to Urgent Care.
yes..I was there exactly two weeks ago..same day of the week...same time...other son.
Remember...I am a mom to two extreme sport, dirt lovin boys. They skateboard, skim board, boogie board, BMX ride, Dirt bike Race....you name it, in the extreme sports arena, they love it. I am EXTREMELY fortunate, that up until 2 weeks ago, we have only had one visit to the ER and one CAT scan.
so...although it is not broke, Ben is now dawning a nice big brace on his very sprained left wrist. I have to say, I was a little leery about the possibility that because big brother got a cast two weeks ago, that just maybe...
but no, it swoll up (is it swoll up or swelled up?) regardless...after an exam,xrays,co pays...yadda yadda yadda... it is legit. He is out for two weeks...no skating, no biking...argghhhh.
I have to laugh because that silly lovin God thinks I am such a very capable momma...but doesn't he know I have CHA projects to finish???
wanna see?????
OKAY!
Teresa gave me the thumbs up...so here goes...
okay..hello...does it not scream me..my colors.I LOVE it...I mean the line...well, and the layout..it is me and my original family. It started with just the four of us...gosh, I love it...
but wait...same new line...different papers....and...I used bling...and glitter!!!hello...I am channeling my inner Bella....
and then this lovely and a close up of the details...
and then this "Long Arm" shot from Christmas day.. I was able to get me (my ten chins) and 5 others of us in one shot....
and then...
there was the pink pile Teresa sent me.
You know me and pink..we try to get along, it just does not work out too well...
until now...
and as I was finishing this last project up today, which happens to be for Teresa (surprise!!!) I could not help thinking that my friends Teresa & Candicewould be so proud of my "bella-ness" (my red curtains don't go so well with it)..but she is a beaut!
(note - the acrylic letters are not part of the line...I have a TON of old marquee letters that are waiting for just the right project...I think I may have found it...hmmm????)
I have to admit that my papercrafting creative wings are a little tired but totally refreshed & renewed. I can not think of when I really scrapbooked last...I am sure it was not that long ao, but I guess it is the good feeling of accomplishment, and the fact that pink & I had a wonderful time together...
If you are coming to CHA this next week, stop by the Product Performers booth to check out these projects and all of the beautiful projects that Teresa & Jamie have been putting together..plus...there is an AMAZING "Make & Take" that Teresa's husband, Ty and I are going to be doin....so generous...so amazing...so exciting!
okay..gotta go rest the wings...hand out " i-b-pro-fin" to the patients...and watch the recaps of todays historic events!
I love this life...I really do..even the tough times....
they make us better, stronger people...that LOVE paper.
p.s...the "comments" problem is still a problem..WHY Typepad..why??????? please..someone fix it...In the meantime...you can email me with your comments...
