Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Oh My..my day was exhausting but wonderful. My kids had a wonderful time and the smiles on their faces today were just priceless. They left to go to their father's about 8ish and me and Ricky settled in to watch a movie. Well..he watched the movie..I promptly passed out and according to him started snoring. I also have caught a cold..or more like the cold caught me..eyes watering..head all stuffed up...headache...sneezing every two minutes..ughhhh...so it's a good thing the kids are visiting the father. My son was complaining of the same thing..so I made him pinky promise to go straight to bed when he got there. I so can't wait to get my pictures developed so I can get them scrapbooked. I will do all of them traditional with paper and glue and then add a couple pages to my digiscrap layouts that I want to add to a disc for them. This gives them the option of printing them out later if they choose to.
I also wanted to show off some taggage using my kits. Thanx ladies for sharing with me!!

This week seems to be zippin on by...or at least it seems that way for me as I still need to get up early in the morning and go shopping for our Christmas Day meal. I think we have all settled on doing up a ham instead of a turkey. I love turkey but my hubby hates it. The back-up plan is that if I can't find a ham that is somewhat affordable...it's the kid's favorite..Chicken Casserole.

I took a chance and applied at The Creativity Shack for a designing postion. Never actually thinking I would be accepted...but I was!!!
To say I am a little excited is an understatement. I admire so many scrappers (tagger and full-sized) that it is only my dream to be near as good as them.

I am also counting this acceptance as a blessing as my husband will be laid off work starting Christmas Day. Fingers crossed that it will not be for too long as we are in the same boat as most people these days and getting by day-to-day. (I am not telling ya this for pity). He goes next Monday for an interview with another company in Little Rock and hopefully a drug screen to start work asap.

Here is my very first PTU Kit called Colors of Love and can be found here under RebelChick's Scraps.

It contains
10 Papers
2 Frames
4 Ribbons
5 Butterflies
2 Ivy Vines
4 Paper Roses
3 Flowers with leaves
3 Flowers w/o leaves
4 Tags


I did not forget to give ya a freebie....here is an Add-On that coordinates with the full kit that can be downloaded Here. I would adore to see anything that ya create with it. If ya download...leave me some love if ya feel moved to so.

I was not planning on doing up anything Christmasy, esp with it being so close to the Big Day as my daughter calls it. But I am teaching myself how to use photoshop and got to fooling around with a few things and before I knew it, I had a few elements that suited a Christmas kit. So I then just dove in head first. I had a really fun time creating it and learning things along the way. Feel free to snag if ya fancy it. Comments on my blog are always welcome but not necessary if ya don't feel moved to do so. I created this as a tagger sized kit..but I like to use smaller kits to scrap smaller photos and print them so the DPI is left at 300 for printing purposes. If making tags..please remember that ya need to change it to 72 DPI to be compliant with the license companies wishes.

I am home alone this weekend. Ricky left from Hattiesburg this morning and is on his way to Amite to help with some winter storm damage there. I love my husband but it's sorta nice to have the house to myself today. Shaina is at her father's this weekend also so I really don't have to do anything at all if I don't want to. Actually the only thing that I won't do is cook. I will grab a burger or something so I can get some things done around here that I have been putting off like sorting the socks in the sock basket. I detest matching socks and when I actually do do it, Ricky waits for lightening to strike. Shaina's American Girl doll came Thursday so I will get that wrapped up and put under the tree so it's not so bare looking. She will be excited to see a present under it when she come's home Sunday. My son and step-son are getting video games that I still need to go buy or either just order online and ship it here. I would much rather do online shopping when I know what I want over fighting traffic and crowds at a store any day of the week. Well I am off of here and shutting down the pc so I don't stop and peek at anything online and then find myself still sitting here an hour later.

Oh boy, what a day!! Today is my Mom's Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! My husband left for work not quite sure where he will end up. He was put on ice storm alert last night. Last update he was able to give was that he was in Jackson, Mississippi. Then when I picked my daughter up from school she was just in tears. Her and her best friend have parted ways. And my daughter confesses it's her fault. I have left a message with her friend's Mother to call me back so that maybe we can mend the ways...but I am afraid things cannot be fixed. But there is always hope. As a Mom...it just hurts your heart to see your children in any type of pain...physical or emotional. I don't know who growing up hurts the most...the parents or the kids.

I do have a freebie for ya today. My girl Eclipse snagged a template I had sitting in a tut group that is inactive at this point. We are still shuffling around some from MSN. She used this template and my Purple Plaids kit to create her blog header.

It stormed like mad here today. Tons of wind and boatloads of rain. My yard is sooo flooded. We have a cold front coming back thru tonite dropping the temps back down to the 40's. A drastic change from the mid-60's we had today. Here's another freebie for ya's. I am sure it's the closest thing to snow I will get to touch this winter....lol.
Enjoy!

I might as well break this baby in. I had another blog that I started posting on and then just let go. It had an entirely different purpose at the time. My vision for this blog is more personal. Mostly just a place to document life's adventures and keep in touch with my online friends esp with everyone being scattered by the msn breakup. Maybe in the next couple of weeks I can figure out how to "pretty up" the place a bit. I am sure it can't be all that difficult.
