Great finds for me!

2010-10-15T22:58:00.000-07:00

I just can't stay away from looking for stuff..I don't need anymore projects and I really shouldn't spend the cash..but when I find something that I love and it is cheap..it becomes mine! While running errands today, I spotted what I thought was a garage sale. this turned out to be someone moving and had to be out soon and they had all this stuff they needed to get rid of quick. Lucky me!
A jolly guy with a wife beater tee-shirt and a two day beard greeting me smiling and said..its cheap it you want it. I noticed this cool humidor in awesome condition and asked him how much..he replied "how about a dollar"! Oh yea I thought and told him that is was now mine.I think I will put a plant on the top where the little place for ashtray is meant to be. Isn't it darling!

I also picked up some other small things (Union Pacific Railroad calendars 1970-1978 these were free and a couple vases. He asked me to come in and look at this hutch he wanted to sell. It was sooo sooo beautiful, but I just didn't have the cash or anywhere to put it. It was gigantic! I was walking out when I spotted this cute little "ladies Desk" and commented how cute it was. He told me it was mine for 5 buckaroos! I gasped and said..its mine. I am so happy with my purchases today!! I really don't know about the desk..it is so beautiful and only needs a drawer handle that I think I will just polish it up?

Been treasure hunting again

2010-10-12T23:31:00.000-07:00

Finding that being unemployed is a good time to feed one of my passions...I call it junkin. Fall weather and flea markets..it doesn't get much better than that. I have been lucky with my finds and found some awesome things.I have at least 3 projects going on all the time.It is therapeutic for me to play like this. It isn't paying the bills though and I am still praying that I find a job soon.
I did finish this window frame project today. I changed things in my kitchen and have a rather eclectic group of roosters living there now so I decided to take the glass out of this frame, paint and distress it and attach the chicken wire to make a bulletin board for the kitchen. I am diggin it and it fits right in with my rooster theme!\

Chilly Fall Weather!

2010-09-17T11:10:00.000-07:00

SInce I am unemployed....I am not sleeping well and find myself fretting and worrying all nite long...i woke up early early this morning, let the dogs out and it was cold!! But it felt really good. I sat on the steps thinking about how much I love fall and decided to get out some fall decorations today. Maybe that will lift my spirits some!

Been over a Year??

2010-08-13T14:44:00.000-07:00

Been gone for a year?? Does time fly or what? I sort of just quit blogging..nobody ever read it anyway!! LOL I did find it a great therapeutic outlet though. Not as great as retail therapy unfortunately. No more retail therapy for awhile. I am laid off Can't even believe it happened. THe shock was hell, but after a couple weeks a major depression, I realized that it was probably a good thing. I was forced to "leave" a place where I had thought so many times before to leave. I was afraid of change and we all like security..so I stayed. My BF who is still there is miserable and I can now realize just how unhappy I was there. Taking some time off from "stress" and just chillin with all my hobbies and continuing to so my Zumba classes and geting sexier by the minute! yea right, not sexy,,but lookin a lot better and feeling a lot better too! I has been awesome if I must say so. I Have been junkin like crazy and fining some cool stuff to play with! just check it out. ]

the chairs were a peeling and filthy and one had a crack in the seat. I cleaned, sanded, primed and painted them and they are perfect to me now. These were free which is better. Caught them on the curb ;)
THe little bench I thought was cute, not sure what I am going to do with it, but I will post it later. It was $3.00. There is more, but I don't have pictures yet. Will continue as I continue to feel creative!!

Hey check out a great blog

2009-02-22T15:05:00.003-08:00

This girl, she knows how to blog! I just found this yesterday when I bought her new kit "Note to self" (see below) and she has some amazing stuff on there with her creations and stories and...the hottest pieces of cheese..oh yummy check her out.

Weekends, payday and just plain crap

2009-02-22T14:42:00.000-08:00

Hi! How much do I look forward to the week-end? A whole hell of a lot I do. And it was payday..or as I say payout day..when it all goes back out.But heck it does feel good to have it, if only for a little bit! I swear it is getting harder and harder every day to make it. Gotta get my taxes done, so that I can try to get out of this awful hole. I am so depressed about this all now..but enough of Debbie downer and on with the blog. I have been feeling a little mojo this week and doing some scrapping. I finished a lo with Isabel's new kit "Always" and a lo with Sharia Braxton's new kit
"Note to self" and wow were these fun kits to work with!

It feel good to be creative and makes me forget some of the shit that goes on around me. Today I woke up to a very cold house..and damn-it my furnace is clicking on. THere is no way in hell I am going to call a repair man today and have the cost of a sunday repair bill. Got the space heater out and am cooking a turkey to keep the house warm. Tonight it won't be bad, since gee I am lucky to have 6 fur babies sleeping with me!
Peace out all and have a great week
Peggy

This now is Amazing!

2009-02-15T08:21:00.000-08:00

Look at Isabel Mendez (Crisdam Designs) new Collection "Always"! Can you say Yummy? This Rocks so much and I can't wait to play with it! It is available at www.acherryontop.com or http://www.gottapixel.net/store/home.php.
I love this collection and my next post should have something to show that I made with it!
Peace out

A winter week

2009-02-15T07:34:00.000-08:00

Hello!
I missed about a week here, but not much too exciting going on. We got hit with snow on Friday and it was just lovely. The good thing was we got to leave work early and on a Friday that is a perk!
Tiff got the girls bundled up and took them out for their first "snow adventure" Friday. They liked the sled ride but the adventure ended when their faces were getting pretty pink and Hailey got upset since there was snow on her gloves! LOL Damn those girls are so darn cute. Here is my version of the little Snow Chics.
I used Bella Gypsy Designs "Snow BIrds" (hmm got the title idea) and a little bit of Angie Kovas Snow Girly for this one.

As yesterday was Valentines Day I did do a lo in honor of those romantic things ya know..the things that I have been lacking lately...no Valentine for me this year..but David and I did go out for Pizza...does that count? I started this layout for what would have been my parents 62nd wedding anniversary and just got to emotional to do it, so I used pictures from Tiff and Brian's wedding. Worked good for me.
I used Sherri Tierney's kit, Art from the Heart" at www.elementalscraps.com. Had a lot fun with this one too.

Peace out
Peggy

Project 365

2009-02-07T20:40:00.001-08:00

Hello
I had made some more accomplihsment this weekend. no..not housework...but I did my first 2 weeks pages for the 365 Project! I think I am really going to get into doing this. Going to try to do different themes for each week unless I have a event or something and I am making very very simple. Simple is good cuz simple gets done quick.
The weather has been totally glorioius the last two days. We broke records of 60+ and I even had my windows open for awhile to get the winter stench out of the house! LOL
The cats were in heaven sleeping in the windows and the the dogs ran around the yard like it was a race track. It was good and good for the mood too. I am going to take in every minute of it since they are calling for an artic front coming in with SNOW next week. Damn it anyhow! I guess mother nature is just teasing us a little, but that is ok with me. Makes me have some hope that spring will be here someday! gonna share my first two weeks with you and don't mind some of the silly pictures..that is my life!
Peace out
Peggy

Its A wonderful Friday~!

2009-02-06T06:27:00.000-08:00

It is Friday and the best part of that is that I am sitting right here in front of my computer at home! How cool is that. I could so go for working a 32 hour week if I didn't live paycheck to paycheck. {sigh} I guess I should be careful what I wish for..we were so slow today at work that the boss drew names to see who could have the day off and I won!!! Cool huh? Just hope this isn't a sign of what could be coming though. We have been pretty slow and that is pretty scary with the state of the country right now. Geesh you would think that nursing would have job security huh? Well not going to let worrying about that ruin this day. We are to have record breaking warm temps today (next week Arctic front and snow) and I plan on getting some other things that have been procrastinating on done. Got to get my estimate on my car so I can try to figure out how to come up with the $$ to get it fixed. Damn Deer any how. It should be warm enough that I can spray paint a couple of flea market bird cages that I got last year and maybe even take a nap?? will try to get some kind of cleaning in there too.
Sometimes doesn't your cre8tive juices sometimes just go wild. I did a lo last night with this very cute Mini Kit "Monsters" at http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/product.php?productid=20952&cat=0&page=1. It is for their inspiration challenge and is a freebie now. Join the fun. It is awesome.
Gotta get rolling and get the most of this day!
Peace out
Peggy
Look at Chaz hangin out at the Childrens Museum. Damn I love this kid.

Only Tuesday

2009-02-03T05:54:00.001-08:00

Give me some sun and a trip to Jamaica. Still I am on my desperate desire to go to Jamaica. I want Island Time, sun, beach and good looking men. {sigh}
I am already at work, braving the single digit numbers this morning and getting more out of tune with myself. Damn does winter suck or what. I did bring my camera today and hopefully I can get some shot for the 365 challenge. Maybe that will inspire me!
Peace OUt

I need Change

2009-02-02T17:23:00.000-08:00

It is Monday and it is blah..I am getting sick of winter is a very quick way. Today it was actually 30+ and felt almost tropical. I have been missing taking my walks during lunch at work so today I started hoofing it around and realized after a few minutes, it was ok walking south..but when I headed back that damn wind was cold. but all in all it felt good. I have this winter routine, come home feed the dogs, get into my flannels ( yes flannels..I am old) and either sit in front of tube or the computer til it is time to go to bed. now this is lazy, but I have no motivation when it is cold out and I do like being "cozy". But I am feeling the need for some "change" in my life. Wish I could go to Jamaica..that would be a dream come true for me. oh shit, if wishes were fishes..maybe I will come up with some crazy idea to enhance my life. Shit I was thinking about a Valentine for a day?? Hmmm..that might be fun. now I am thinking too much.
I did a lo with Kami's new Happiness Kit which is available at www.acherryontop.com and it is my Hero David. Love the blues with his blue yes.
Peace out
Peggy

Now scrapping..no cleaning

2009-01-31T21:31:00.001-08:00

I think I broke a personal record today. I managed to do 4 layouts and...cleaned the bathroom, do two loads of laundry, made a trip to Hobby Lobby and mopped the kitchen floor!
Peace out Peggy

still scrapping....and cleaning

2009-01-31T12:48:00.000-08:00

ok so I didn't finish cleaning, but I did finish the bathroom! I Just HAD TO try Jopke's kit So Happy. I don't think I did her awesome kit justice, but I tried and have another lo done!
Peace out
Peggy

Happy weekend, stress and scrapping!

2009-01-31T10:53:00.000-08:00

I will see just how happy mine will be. My x is in town and of course that equals stress...I am still procrastinating on the house..I started the bathroom today and ended up here on the computer working with this awesome new kit by Kami (Kreations by Kami) I am in love with these colors! I love how her kits just go together for me for layouts. David and Meg, will it is sufferage to have their pictures taken anymore. I was lucky to even get this shot. Aren't they cute? I might have to procrastinate some more! ok..back to toiling away with house work.
Peace out
Peggy

TGIF!!

2009-01-30T04:16:00.000-08:00

Good Morning and Happy Friday!! Friday has to be the best day of the week. I love for Fridays. Perferably 5pm Friday,,but any of it will do. I have been able to get a little movitvated with work lately and hopefully it wiill stay. I think every morning that I am lucky to have a job and try to stay positive. Things are getting a little wierd there too. We are slow..very slow..always try to look busy is my line now. quite a few "key" people have left and that makes me wonder..hmmm should I be looking for a different job?? The thought of it makes me sick. I am too old for that shit..I don't want to start over. Anyway, got to roll, we have a meeting this morning...and I wonder what that is about too. Got another lo done with RandiOH kit "Matters of the Heart" and 1 with Isabel Mendez new kit Cotton Candy. Gotta love these rockin designers. Their stuff keeps my mojo flowing.
Peace out
Peggy

End of the weekend

2009-01-25T23:05:00.000-08:00

Damn if the weekend is over and I am not ready to go to work. Gotta get up early to go to the Dentist too. It is snowing and I would just as soon stay tucked in bed, but gotta pay the bills. I am still feeling like scrapping and not much done on the cleaning front..I did wash windows, hung new mini-blinds and did mountains of laundry though. Gotta have clothes for work! I did a new lo with RandiOH new Kit Matters of the Heart. I LOVE that kit!! So warm and romantic. I am so into reds right now too.

1 Room Complete

2009-01-25T15:41:00.000-08:00

And you are thinking..a whole day and one room done?? Well you have no idea what I had to do! There is something sad about an eclectic person who loves to collect. Hence my addiction to flea markets and old things. Very cluttered, but clean now. It has already made me feel better. I could have did more, but decided to do a little scrapping last night. That makes be feel better too.I changed my header too..sort of weird looking, but did it in a hurry..I loved that it has a picture of my handsome friend in Jamaica who I miss so much. Calling for more snow tonight and will be a fun trek to work tomorrow I assume. Gotta finish up the laundry from hell and get ready for another week at work.

Peace out
Peggy

Chaos around me

2009-01-24T14:15:00.000-08:00

Hello it is Saturday and I woke up today and looked around my house. My new addiction to digi has left my house in utter disray and neglected. So sad, I have NEVER like to clean, although dont think I am a pig, I am not. But as far as deep down cleaning..ugghh it like torture to me. I have beeen in and out of my depression since Christmas which is clearly a sign to me that there is chaos around me. Let's start with the house! I have grounded myself from PHotoshop today and diggin in. It feels good and wow it looks good. Now Rome was built in a day, but I am on a good start and I even have recruited David. My dining room has been my scrap room for the last few years and oh my I don't know where to begin. I have SO MUCH stuff and haven't used any of it since i started Digi. Maybe a scrapbook garage sale in the spring? It will be hard to part with it though. Haven't decided yet where I am with that, but I will. Well my five minutes is up and back to work I go. Hopefully tonight I can do a page though. I will need a time out by then!
Peace out
Peggy

Time to Hunker down

2009-01-24T00:18:00.000-08:00

what an incredibly long stinkin week it was. Too much damn stress at work lately and too many crabby people and Drs. Usually it would be the patients that are crabby, but this week they were a welcome compared to the Doctors. January is such a long month for me. Nothing to look forward to but getting out in the morning when it is still dark to scrap my car windows, then go to work for 8 hours and then home again in the dark. I need sunshine. The theory about sunshine being good for depression, I can relate to that. They are calling for very cold temps this weekend with snow off and on. This might be one of thse weekends that we hunker down and stay home. Maybe watch movies, scrap and get some things done around here. Does sound boring but necessary. Not been feeling very creative this week with my pylonephritis, but the meds seem to be doing their work in someways. maybe I just need a down week? and maybe go do a little tanning?? I did lo tonight using Isabel Mendez new "Be Mine" kit and I loved loved working with it. It has great colors, glitter and awesome elements. I have been sort of stuck on the color red since Christmas, but I love it. It seems to give layouts just that extra punch they need sometimes, Although, I probably overdue the punch. Well heading to bed and we'll see what tomorrow brings..
Peace out
Peggy

2009-01-22T17:14:00.000-08:00

Thanks Tracy!

2009-01-22T17:08:00.000-08:00

Tracy found my blinkies and told me how to put them up again!! I don't know why this has to be so confusing??? I am rolling now and just have to try to figure out how to make a header now..Hmm Tracy..where are u!?

Hello President Obama!!!

2009-01-20T15:48:00.000-08:00

This is the day I have been waiting for. I am still very sick and can't celebrate :( and right how I am too emotional anyway.

Mondays SUCK!

2009-01-19T23:48:00.001-08:00

Trying to be the positive person I am...I rolled myself out of bed today after fighting with a stomach thing and cold over the weekend thinking it has to get better..and knowing that today for the first time in over two months, we would have a full staff at work...Got to work..two people gone..again. Crabby Docs and staff not real happy either. The day progressed into one difficult patient after another..when I finally had time to take a break to the little girls room, I had a painful surprise. It was a burning knife searing me you know where ( I know TMI) so I collected and tested and found I had a raging urinary tract infection. Then putting two and two together I realized that the side and backache I have is not part of the "flu" this weekend, but probably a pylonephritis...uggghh Got some meds and finished my morning.The afternoon brought more surprises. My first patient after lunch was vomiting constantly and no not in the emesis bag..but in the sink and floor..I was trying to help him and he threw up on my shoes... It was so busy, but finally it was almost time to go home. I was working this man and drawing some blood and such and when he left, he told me that I was "the best nurse" he had ever had. "Nobody can draw blood like you." and he said "have a great day and started to give me a hug...the next thing I know, his body was pressed against mine and he was "trying to stick his tongue down my throat.!!!!!!! C'om baby..we should chill sometime..I am having a Obama celebration party tomorrow and you are invited..and nobody else is invited! then he said..Have you ever partied with a black man?...Shit,,,,wtf is going on here. I pushed him away and scolded him, trying to remain calm. Ok I have to go home..as I am driving home and about six blocks from home when "wham bang" something hits my drivers door, it is BIG, Brown and has horns..yep big ass Buck slammed me. I can't open my car door and there is big time damage. I have been driving that road everyday morning and night for 10 years and NEVER seen a deer before..but it was Monday, it was today and I have some kind of storm cloud hanging over me. This has got to pass and soon. I feel like shit and can't stop peeing, going to bed and feel sorry for myself.
Have a scrappy happy day tomorrow
Peggy

Huh??

2009-01-19T02:51:00.001-08:00

Ok WTF..My blinkies are gone?? leave for a couple months and the thieves come in. I can't figure out how to put them in again either. I don't need to be pissed before I got to work,,I get enough of that there..Anyone help me?? Pretty Please??

Bad bad blogger!

2009-01-19T02:12:00.000-08:00

Again I have been on lazy blogger. It got away with me during the holidays left behind in the midst of Christmas anticipation. Ok..no more excuses, I failed again my blog. I want to personalize it and I hate the way it looks..so I didn't blog?? Just another excuse. Lets face it, since I started Digi, I haven't been doing much of anything else. I am totally addicted to the "dark side" of scrapping.
Although I have been absent here, I have had a lot of exciting things going on. I have added to Isabel Mendez awesome CT team. I am really looking forward to working for her and her awesome kits. She is so talented.... and it is another great way to feed my addiction. RandiOH has some awesome new kits lately and keeps me inspired..another feed to my addiction. Kami, Kreations by Kami is my other rockin digi boss and I LOVE her new stuff and her brushes are to die for. Check out my lastest lo using her Sentiment Stamps http://www.acherryontop.com/digital/company/kreations_by_kami/9004581 available at www.acherryontop.com. I guarentee you won't be disappointed. I am working on a Valentines day lo with Isabel's latest kit, Be Mine http://www.acherryontop.com/digital/company/crisdam_designs/9004636. Hopefully I can have it up soon. I will soon have layouts for Randioh with her new and upcoming kit too. I will post more info on that later.
Thought...with all these Valentine kits..it maybe a problems..I have no Valentine this year. :( :) ..gonna have to get creative with these pictures! Idea..maybe I should find a "stand in" (hopefully with benefits ;) ) for my valentine lo! Did I just say that?? hey the idea sounds good to me..On the lookout starting today.
Lets face it I love my dogs..but just how many layouts can you do with pics of them? Their book is going to be larger than my kids books!
Ok off to get ready to work. Damn Mondays so suck in the biggest way. Maybe I can get my blog caught up and looking like a blog soon. Anyone wanna help? just a thought.
Have a blessed and scrappy day all
Happy Martin Luther King Day

It's Coming

2008-10-23T21:45:00.000-07:00

We all know that is coming..but I personally dread it..what? winter and christmas..I know I sound like an ole Grinch, but I am not..I just hate the commercialism of it. I hate the $$ involved it. I have decided that this year we are going back to basics, like probably a lot of people will have to do. I have tightened the belt around her in so many ways and this will be the biggie. I told the kids that they will get 2 or 3 presents..and not expensive presents or they may get a gift certificate if they choose and as usual I will stuff their stockings with fun things. I have always loved doing the stocking thing. I have cut my list down to my father, my sister and my niece and the twins..oh yea my best friend, whom I have already bought. I just can't do it and don't even know how I am going to do this even. It will be rough. But what will be nice is that we are going back to traditional..Family things, midnight mass and just hangin out together. It will be differnt, but good I hope. I have told my kids that I want nothing, but for them to do something nice for me. It should get them thinking too! It is already beginning to feel like winter here with rainy, gloomy weather and cold. I was forced to turn on my heat this week, which i hated to do, but got tired of being cold.
on the lighter side,,I will stop whining, but I have scrappin like a fool and I am happy that I discoverd the world of Digi Scrapping. It is soo much better for me.
We took the twins to the craft fair last week and I did this lo..but be quiet about it..their mom would flip if she sees that we took their shoes off..she insisted that they wear them that day, but hell they wouldn't keep them on!
Well signing off to get into my warm comfy bed.

have a great Friday
Peace out
Peggy

Exciting news!

2008-10-08T17:38:00.000-07:00

I have added a little thing on my blog..I think they call it a gadget? it is the moon phases. I really am into this and believe in the phases of the moon and how it affect EVERYTHING! My moon phase was to be good this last week and that it was. I have been asked to be on another CT! I will be working with RandiOh doing more digi layouts! This has got me so pumped. She is awesome, I love her stuff and feel honored that she has invited me to be on her team. Now I have two online bosses. Kami(Kreations By Kami) and RandiOh (RandiOh Designs) dang all I can say is that this must be my lucky moon phase. Two great women to work with. I only wish that I could do this all the time and never go back to my "real" job..but I must get "real" that will never happen. But I am going to get this working good and keep my creative Mojo moving! I am thinking this is all too good to be real//{pinching myself} what a great opportunity for me!!
check out my latest fun things!

THese were created with RandiOh

Feel your Boobies ladies

2008-10-04T08:59:00.000-07:00

Good Morning and happy October, which btw is my very favorite month of the year. It is such a beautiful month full of all my favorite colors. Speaking of colors, another health speech coming on here, but it is important for all of us to do this THINK PINK! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I can't even begin to say enough about this. I have the big C scare last October when I went for my annual mammogram. They kept saying that I was lucky I went annually and that if it was Cancer it was early and so much could be done. After one week of agonizing waiting, ultrasounds and biopsies, the final verdict was good. Not Breast Cancer, but something that will be watched closely. I now have 5 little clips in my breast and go every 6 months for mammograms and everything has been good. But it was my annual that they found this. I didn't feel it..they were tiny calcification's. But the Mammogram found it. This is important ladies, I work in the medical field and I see woman of all ages with breast cancer. Some as young as 40. I know I am not telling you anything you don't know, but just wanted to emphasize the importance of this. If you have the time ..go and find your local Walk for the Cure this weekend. It is such a refreshing thing to do.
Have a great weekend
Peace Out
Peggy

Get Your Calcium ladies

2008-09-28T13:44:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
I finally have come to the sad conclusion that I will have to find a part-time job again. Just what the hell is with all these prices now..it is painful to go the grocery store just so we can have food on the table. Do remember when tomato soup was 29 cents or if you watched the ads you could get it for 5 cans for a dollar? Sixty-six cents a can now, and that is at Wally World!! Ekkk..And cheese,, well I have to really need it for something, since it rediculously high priced..I guess my old bones will just have rot some more, cuz milk is crazy too. Glad I am taking calcium now. It is true ladies, menopause sucks and you had better start taking your calcium if you don't want to be walking around looking at the ground when you get older. I am sure it is hard to work on the pc or sb when you can't look up too. Seriously get your calcium now because believe me mother nature will rob it away from you faster than you can believe. ok so much for my health lecture for today.
I am going to try to finish my last two challenges for SE today and again procrastinate of shampooing the carpet..oh well it is so much more fun to SB.
Have a blessed and happy Day
Peggy

Flea Market Madness

2008-09-27T17:00:00.000-07:00

Hi
Although I drop down dead tired, I am one happy little camper. Today was our annual trip to Woodbine Iowa for Applefest. It was bigger and better than ever this year and full of so many crafty things and lots and lots of "junk" I was in heaven. Although I didn't have a lot of $$$ to spend, I was very frugal and got some awesome things. My partner in crime was my friend Janis from work and believe it or not David went too! He did a great job all day too and had a great time. I was disappointed though my battery for my camera, which I charged all nite long...went dead after 20 pictures? WTH is with that? I don't get it. It has never did that before and I was pretty pissed out about it. All we got was pictures of the car show and that was it. I was planning on getting some great fall shots on the way home too. Oh well going to have to check into getting a backup battery. I suppose it is just old. I have been scrapping my A## off this week and really feeling creative. I think it might be the change of seasons..or the fact that I am just so damn broke I can't afford to do anything else. Anyway it feels good,,not being broke, but scrapping and more scrapping. Kami (Kreations by Kami at ACOT) has a new kit that is just diggin so much and finding just tons of uses for it. It is Falling for you and I LOVE IT!

Here are some pages I did with this kit.

I have doing some challenges at Elemental Scraps too to try to get some points for products. They are very cool and very friendly and an awesome inspirational gallery. And I love my online friends! Since I as broke as a church mouse..isn't that how saying goes?? Anyway, doing the challenges gives me the chance to get some new stuff while being productive. Now isn't that cool!
Here is another lo that I did with the Boxed In Template by Kreations by Kami. I love the simplicity of this and will used this over and over again.

Have a beautiful and blessed weekend all

Wathcing the changes

2008-09-21T07:54:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone,
What gives your creative inspiration? Changing seasons fill me awe and I can't usually get enough it. (except Winter) Blah..not a winter person. The older you get, winter is a challenge. Fall once and you are done. When I was young I could tumble, now I roll and can't get up, then your body and it ages elements tells you that is not cool to fall down. The snow is pretty, that is if you home and looking out the window. But Fall...these are my days. Crisp cool mornings that make me want to call work and play hookie. Not to many changes around yet, But I am patiently waiting. I know when I see those gorgeous sunflowers sprout up that it wont be long.
This isinspiration to me right now."If" I could live one season all the time, it would be fall. Just some warm fuzzy thoughts about fall. Have a great day!
Peace on

What a minute...Drum Roll please

I am Peggy and I am addicted

2008-09-19T16:04:00.000-07:00

Ok so I admit it. I am addicted to digi scrapbooking. I was hesitant to even try, since I thought to myself that there was no way I would ever be able to do this. Well there is a way and I found that way and I am so diggin this. I have did more layouts in the last month than I have probably did in the last year. Momma is rockin here. Although, seriously though, everything else has gone to hell. My house has been sadly neglected, my flowers need attention and I am like a scrappin fool here. I don't remember ever being this enthused about anything at all. I even "tried" making my own little digi element for a lo I did last night. Dang I wanted a little doghouse for my page and decided to try it. It was fun..a little silly looking but that is ok. I still marked that off as an accomplishment. And holy crap it is FRIDAY!! I can feed my addiction all I want the next two days,although I think I might try to slip a little housework in there sometime too. But I don't know..we have groceries and clean clothes..so maybe not! I get to play around with Kami's (Kreations by Kami at ACOT) awesome new paper line. Everyday Paper Pack..check it out, it has the coolest texture on it. YOu will love love it! I know I do.

Hump day delight!

2008-09-17T16:24:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone! Maybe some of you don't get as excited as I do on Hump day. Wednesday is when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and know that Friday is around the corner and then my favorite. The WEEKEND! God Bless weekends! I feel a lot more creative on the weekends and have the time to be creative. WOrk has been torture since I started scrappin again. I need a vaca so I can scrap my A#(* off. I did manage to get some done this week. I finished a lo for Kreations by Kami with her new papers Everyday Paper available at . I have a hard time doing "simple", but I wanted to highlight this awesome new paper. My dad doing his little Jammin to the Reggae music in Jamaica.

Gotta Love Quiet time

2008-09-13T00:56:00.000-07:00

It's quiet here, David and the dogs have long ago settled down for the night and its just me, my music (Fleetwood Mac tonight) and my puter. This is the time for me when my creative energy it at its hightest level it seems. Does it matter that it is 3 a.m and I have been up since 6 a.m? I just love the quiet of the evening. Tonight there is just light rain coming down and a cool breeze coming in which is working well with my continoius hot flashes tonight!! The chaos of life and work just seems to leave when I have this time. Tomorrow I will begin my series of "here comes fall" photos. Damn are they cool to scrap! it us supposed to rain again and the air should be crisp and fresh, just like I like. I will have to drag David out of the house, but we are going on a drive to hunt for photos. Gotta find a good sunflower field too. I was able to get one lo done tonight and almost have my header for this blog finished. Now the trick will be to get it on here. OH and I am excited that I finally figured out how to put my blinkie on here for Kreations by Kami!! Whoo hoo...1 point for the techno dummy here! Here is the lo I did with the Color Burst Collection by Kreations for Kami

Sleeping with Ice cubes?!!!

2008-09-10T23:27:00.000-07:00

Yes I can be a klutz and tonight I spilled a pot of boiling water...on my fingers. Let me tell you this...it SUCKS!! My hot pad did protect some of them but my poor little pinkie and ring ringer is a mess. Blisters all over and between those fingers. I can't even tell how many since there is so many. This is mighty painful and I am trying to figure out how I am going to sleep. Holding ice cubes?? or maybe I wont' sleep. I can type a couple sentences here now and then I have to hold my ice cube for a bit. damn and if it isn't my mouse hand. How am I going to scrap. I will have to see a plastic surgeon tomorrow and who knows what they will do with it. My fingers are so white now that I can't tell what is blister and what isn't. I am too miserable to take pictures, but maybe tomorrow I will and post them. I keep thinking how in the heck did I do this...I guess that is why things like this are called accidents. LOL. anyway I did manage to do a lo last nite. I am feeling a little pressure being a newbie and being on Kami's Ct. Everyone is so good and I hope I can hold my own and not disappoint her. I played around for the first time with brushes and blending. It proved to be interesting, and I really liked it, but today I looked at it and just doesn't do much for me. My intent was not to overpower the picture and I think I went a little too much that way. I do like the subtle look of it and I learned a lot doing it.

Doing a Happy Happy Dance!!

2008-09-08T16:05:00.000-07:00

The wonder of Templates

2008-09-07T20:32:00.000-07:00

Hmmm being new to digi, I am learning all about the wonderful world of templates. Also I have discovered that my new found addition has caused me some pain. It seems if you are an addicted digi scrapper there is a possibility that you will soon be stricken with the palmar callousitis, in other words, a painful callous on the palm of you hand. OUCH! I made a trip to Target today and purchased a very soft and wonderful mouse pad with a cushy little wrist thing. My hand is thankful and I am on to more scrapping. Back to templates, ChrissyW http://chrissywdigital.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2008-08-24T08%3A43%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7 has the most awesome sets of templates...I had to have them all! Thanks Chrissy for the templates and for the callous! Seriously this girl ROCKS the template world. Check it out. She has freebies too! Go there and tell her that Peggy sent you. here is a page of the twins that I did using one of her templates.
