I met a few of my stamping friends the other day at Archivers to have some creative fun. I am crazy making these
tags.....Don't know why, but I like I said before I love tags... Michel I finished yours and it will be on it's way.... Becky you
know you will get one. Linda I have one just for you.

I have two good friends of mine coming in from out of town soon..... Mary Ann and JLO you know you'll get one of these.
Can't wait to see you both. I have our weekend planned already. Breakfast at Ms. Aimee B's, the big paper show and yes
a little shopping on Cherokee Street... Can't wait to see you girls and bring your walking shoes because I am going to tire you
girls out.

Tags, Tags, Tags

I love tags and enjoy making them. I made a few today using this new picture I found yesterday. I love
the 1920s. Who knows maybe I was reincarnated from that time since I have always loved that era.

I wouldn't mind trading a tag with someone. If you aer interested drop me a line.

HE broke her heart! 

heart day

This is one of 4 valentine atcs for my friend Mary Ann's
swap....... 

wowweeeeee how exciting this is.....

I am digging this photoshop! 

I love this picture and today my husband bought
photoshop elements so the first thing I did was try to
play with this picture.....

I love it to bad the original picture is very faded, but I
still consider it one of my favorites..... 

Not sure?????? Altered Cute???????  

Love is in the air.

I am itiching to create something valentine, but my ideas
are there, but not out yet so here is a first.. 

So I am still playing with these pictures I took.

I wish I had ink so that I could print it.... It is
on the way though.. 

Me, Me, Me

just playing around.  

Thanks Ladies

Just wanted to drop YOU all a line and thank you for your encouraging words about my recent CROSS THE LINE episode.

I appreciate all your comments and I appreciate your friendship and I am at peace now, but that day I was really upset.

Sometimes people don't think about what they are saying. They don't stop to think about who might be around them hearing what they are saying.

I know I am not perfect and I know I will never be, but I try hard to be a good person and this past episode just took me to the side that YOU all don't get to see.

I have been through alot with specific people in my past that I trusted that I won't mention and because of what happened I tend to want to protect myself always. I have lost many new friends in the last few years because I don't want to get hurt so I tend to distance myself. Again, putting myself in a bubble.

I am trying to fix that about myself. FORGIVE AND FORGET or end up being alone without any friends.

So before this day is over I truly appreciate your kind words and it's time to move on....

GOOD NIGHT!

Some of my previous work.... just thought I
would share with you....

 

2007

May the new year bring you happy days.....

love, just me 

While in Chicago over the holidays, I got a chance to visit
one of my favorite places of all time NAVY PIER....

They had all these rooms filled with stained glass art.

Beautiful if you ask me..... Truly amazing works of art.

So with this said, I want to wish you a wonderful 2007.

GOD BLESS.....

Just ME 

Part deux

Altered cute?

I crossed the line, I did the unthinkable

I am sorry I have to take a few minutes to vent. So if you don't want to read something about me that will show you my bad side then don't read on please.

I take GREAT PRIDE in how I act, treat and respect people. I try to be understanding, polite, friendly, nice, helpful, and so on. I try not to cross the line.

Today though at one of my son's games I did the mistake to sit close to the other teams parents... We are all adults here right. We are here to enjoy a good game and then all go home happy.

Well, I do have to say this we have won a lot of games and we have lost a lot of games. The team we played today won us a few games ago, but we lived on. During the middle of the game I can hear a ladies voice making comments not once, but twice. I know it wasn't hearing things because even my husband told me to calm down. So I finally did the adult thing and moved away.

I usually will not say anything. I keep my mouth quiet and walk away. I have done this for many years trying not to hurt anyone feelings.... Since going back to work I have had to do that a lot lately. Dealing with people again has been a struggle for me. For five years I lived in a bubble ( my home) where I did not have to deal with the outside world if I didn't want to.

Okay, I did walk away my husband was trying to be nice and help me get over my anger that has been building up for months. Walk away he said walk away and I did.

The only problem was that the lady that was talking her C--- was right by the door that I needed to pass and of course my mouth opened and said something that I don't even want to repeat.... I had a few words with her that IS NOT BY MY STANDARDS allowed. There was no swearing.

I left upset, I am sure I upset her and my husband was upset. I could not believe I crossed the line. The line that I take great pride in not crossing. I lowered myself to be like the people that I disapprove of.

My horns came out. My anger came out. I apologized to my husband for acting so immature.

So why am I writting about this well maybe this will clear my concsious just a tad. I already ask GOD for an apology. I guess all that is left is to forget and move on and learn my lesson.

More altering

So I waited another day and then this came to me
add numbers on top of her face..... okay that works.

So yesterday while visiting stampdiva.com I placed an order which in my mind will be the final product to give my last touches to this atc.

but like I said the other day you never know. I was going through some of my atcs that I created a few months ago that I have never posted and I found one atc that really would fit the altered cute theme with littke kids.... so you will never know this might not be my chosen atc for the THEME. 

Is it altered cute??????

just thought I would give you a peak at an atc called
altered cute..... it's not done yet and knowing me I will
probably change my mind in a few days and do totally different....

I am trying to teach myself that it does not need to be completed in the first sitting so hopefully trying to be patient here the next step will come on how to alter her face... 

Maybe maybe NOT!

I have been saving this picture for a while so I took it
out to get me in the VALENTINE mood..... 

NOW WHAT????

It's over it came and went and now I really don't know
how I feel.... I got up early to shop for all the good sales
and did I get a few... Target had some great glittered stars and a few other things that I really did not need, but really wanted.

So now what??

Well, I packed them up and I will be waiting patiently for next years HOLIDAYS, but I would really just love to still keep my Christmas stuff out...

I guess it's time for Valentine..... My mind and heart is still with Christmas... You know last year I was really in SCROOGE mode, but this year I think it hit me bad...

Okay, so I will try and concentrate on Valentines day and I will show you soon what I will be creating... Maybe the Valentine bug will hit me soon.

 

 

Feliz Navidad/Merry Christmas

so fast this year.......
