First, I hope everyone had a happy holiday! It was crazy here! The kids were so excited. I think they were bursting at the seams on Christmas morning!
Kaileyne's Christmas theme was HANNAH MONTANAAAAAAAAAA!
I think she almost fainted every time she opened a gift that had HM in it!
You know how six year olds are! It is all about the drama! LOL
The only thing she loved more was Pixos! She has not stopped playing with that since she got it.
Jet's Christmas theme was Monster trucks and Wall*E.
He loves Wall*E. he has watched the movie at least twice a day.
And he laughs. Oh how he laughs!
I love my son's laugh!
You can be in the other room and when you hear him laugh, you laugh.
His laugh is so contagious. So genuine.
Quinn's Christmas theme was oblivion. LOL
He did not care.
He just dug himself a hole in the middle of the ripped wrapping paper and made a home.
That was his fun for the day!
Ok, enough about the kids. LOL Let's talk about me me meeee!
Yes, my husband and my brother got the ceiling tiles, lighting and floor down in my new scrapbook room!!!! YAY!! That was my Christmas present.
Then, my MIL got me a gift card for Lowes. Double YAY!!!!
Went out this weekend. Bought a door. A door frame. Outlet covers.
And had the guys put them in this weekend. Triple YAY!
It looks like a room now!
We cannot put the base moulding or the corner round in until the cabinets come (heavy sigh), but it is coming around.
I was going to put a closet door in my room, but decided to put a curtain there instead. I thought that the door would make the room look smaller.
And that would not to at all. LOL
I want it large in charge!
So, now I have to save up for my cabinets. It will take me a little time but I am so excited.
I even cleaned up the entire basement tonight. It was a disaster!
But knowing that now I can set up my craft table in it, makes me all giddy inside. hee hee
I am going to do that tomorrow. I may even put some things on the wall.
I may even transport some things downstairs from the disaster I call my "current scrapbook room."
Kaileyne says she will help me as much as possible. Why? because she knows as soon as that room is clear, it is all hers to Hannah Montana up.
My baby girl will have her own room. She is beyond thrilled!!
I do not have any pictures of my room yet. I want to do a couple things before I take pictures.
I should be getting my curtains this week (fingers crossed).
Once I get them put up, I will share some photos.
I need to ask your opinion about something anyway.
Ok, gotta run. Tomorrow is "go to the dump day."
After cleaning the basement, I have a lot of things to throw away. Too much for the trash guys to pick up.
And my little baby boy is turning one on Thursday. Can you believe it has been a year?
And his party is Saturday. So much to do.
So, I will holler at ya soon.
Have a great week!

Thank you Secret Santa!
A bunch of us from the Creative Memories Design Team decided to do a Secret Santa.
It is always fun! And I had not done one of these in so long. So, I was really excited!
It is so nice to be able to get to know someone and spoil them with goodies at the same time.
Don't you think?
Well, I received my package from my Secret Santa Yesterday.
She definitely deserves a shout out!
She was very generous.
I loved everything, but my favorite is the hand made picture frame. Isn't it adorable?
I only had one problem. I still do not know who she is! LOL
Hopefully she will come out soon!
Thank you Secret Santa!
And Merry "Almost" Christmas!

My Weekend at Scrapbook Cottage!
Well, it finally happened! After many years, I actually was able to go away and crop for a few days!
And I sure have missed it!
A good friend of mine, just opened a Crop House call the Scrapbook Cottage.
It is in Hedgesville, West Virginia. About 20 minutes from Martinsburg.
The place is absolutely gorgeous!! As soon as I got there, I was relaxed.
She has 2 big crop rooms. We each got a 6 foot table to scrap on (those who know me know I tend to spread, so this was good LOL) with your own Ottlight and Craft mat.
The food was awesome. Leigh is a great cook.
I scrapped until 4am Saturday morning. I just could not stop. The creative juices were going.
I scrapped 8 pages in less than 24 hours. I have never done that!
Everyone had such a great time. We plan on doing this every 6 months.
So, if you get a chance, you should really check it out.
You will not be disappointed in the Scrapbook Cottage.
Leigh thank you so much for inviting me! I had so much fun!
Hey Dawn, I am thinking if my scrapbook room is not done by Spring, that we should go here. We will invite our friends to come with us. what do you think?
Ok, gotta run. Going to a Christmas Craft Fair with the kids today.
Hubby is staying home to work on the scrapbook rooom for me... YAY!!!
One step closer to getting it done...
Have a glorious Sunday!

Day #3....Creative Memories Advent Calendar
I know some of you are still a little surprised that I am on the Creative Memories Design Team.
I am not. I am proud to be a part of this team. There is so much talent and the women are so wonderful to work with!
You should really take another look at CM.
They still have the High Quality albums and tools that we cannot live without, but the things they have and will be coming out with will blow your mind. It sure did that to me.
I am honored to be a part of this!
So, with that said I want to show you an Advent Calendar I created using CM's Everyday Display, Jewel and Primary Christmas lines and new alphabet stickers.
I created this for our 30 Days of Holidays. Each day during the month of November, you will find a brand new holiday project idea that was created with Creative Memories Products by our Design Team. You should really check it out.
So, here is mine....
The squares are 2x2 and I put magnets on the back of each square. I also cut out24 red "X"s and put magnets on them as well to mark off the days as they go by.
The stockings and mittens are from Big Lots. I put all the red "X"s in the mitten and the stockings will hold the daily goodies for the kids.
I really love the way it turned out and it was a lot of fun to put together.
See ya tomorrow.....

Talladega!
Ok here I am... Day #2 (told you I would be back heh heh!)
let's talk about Talladega!
I had the best time ever! We met up with some old friends and camped for 6 days.
We hung out and even spent some time with some of Denny's, Kyle's and Tony's Pit Crew one night. yeah we did!
It was AWESOME!
Race Day was H-O-T! Hot! I was baking in the sun. But it was all worth it.
And even though the end of the race ended in a call from Nascar.
Tony won! And I was there to see it! Woo hoo!
Also, Denny Hamlin was in a bad wreck. It happened right in front of us on the backstretch. It was bad. He had to be transported to the hospital. But he was ok.
The only bad thing about the entire experience was that I was unable to see my friend Gretchen. We talked on the phone, but we were not able to hook up.
What were we thinking? LOL The track is huge. She was on the front stretch. I was on the back.
I am so sorry Gretchen! I miss you and I wish we could have spent time together.
Overall, Talladega was amazing! I had so much fun, but was ready to come home to my family.
Next year, we are taking the twins to Richmond to see their first race. I think that may be the only race we make it to next season. But I know the kids will love it! And Richmond is a track we have never gone to before. Fun! Fun! Fun!
On a sad note, yesterday was Tony's last ride in the Home Depot #20 car.
He starts his new ride with Stewart-Haas next year in the Old Spice #14 car.
And it is Red! Yuck! I do not look good in red. I will miss the orange! But we will be ready!
We go where our driver goes!
So, that is it. Talladega in a nutshell.
I camped. I drank a little too much (shhh do not tell anyone). Spent time with old friends. Met some new ones. Talladega Perfection.
Have a great day!
And see you tomorrow.
PS I will post an advent calendar I did for Creative Memories in tomorrow's post!

Procrastination...
pro·cras·ti·nate (pr

s
t
-n
t
, pr-)
-krst-nt, pr-)v. pro·cras·ti·nat·ed, pro·cras·ti·nat·ing, pro·cras·ti·nates
v.intr.
To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.
v.tr.
To postpone or delay needlessly.
Why do I procrastinate?
I am sitting here with a huge list of things I need to do before I leave on Wednesday morning.
And what am I doing with this "huge list?"
Just looking at it. And looking. Not doing. Just Looking.
I will tell you that I work better under pressure. I do.
That is why I love tight deadlines. I can get it together!!
But with things like getting ready for a trip or doing things around the house, I am the Queen of Procrastination!!
Running around like a crazy woman. Thinking I forgot something. Knowing I forgot something. It can get quite ugly. LOL
And I have always been a procrastinator.
I did when I was in school. So, I had a few weeks to do a project or essay. No problem! Plenty of time! Then why did it always seem like I was scrambling the night before to get it all done?
I was 45 minutes late for my wedding. Ok, the photographer was in a car accident and the bridesmaids dresses were coming apart at the seams, but 45 minutes???? Ugggh!
And I am leaving for Talladega in two days! Two days! My girlfriends and I have been planning this for almost a year. I thought we had all our ducks in a row, but once again we are scrambling with the last minute details.
Have I packed?
nope.
Do I know what I am packing?
nope.
Am I getting ready to pack?
nope.
It is par for the course. LOL
It is definitely something I need to work on.
So, there it is. I am a procrastinator.
I am pretty sure I will not be posting anything else until I get back next week.
But I know I will have stories to tell. LOL
It is going to be a blast. Once I get there.
It is getting ready to get there that will be a process. LOL
So, wish me luck.
Procrastinator. Out.
(have a great week)

Crazy Weekend! But so much fun!
Well, as some of you may know, I joined the Creative Memories Design Team in January. This is truly an amazing opportunity. Not only are the women I work with amazing and talented, but they are also super nice too!!
CM has been keeping me busy for the past 8 months! :)
To say that the stuff Creative Memories has come out with lately and will be coming out with soon will BLOW YOUR MIND is an understatement!! I have been "oooohing" and "aaaahhhing" for months.
So, keep your eyes peeled! It is all very exciting!
I am so honored to be a part of this.
And now I have been invited by local Creative Memories Consultants to teach at their crops!
I taught at a crop this weekend. It was so much fun! There were over 100 ladies there and their enthusiasm for the classes were off the charts!!!!!
I want to thank the Consultants for having me! It was a phenomenal experience!
The crop was 11 hours long and I taught the entire time I was there! It was crazy, but invigorating at the same time. I taught four classes. They filled up so fast!
Wanna see them?
"A Bountiful Life" Class
"Eeek" Class
"Fabulous Fall" Class
And a Shape Maker class. Sorry, I do not have pictures of this.
The class showed innovative ways to use the Shape Makers. We played around with the punches and created a few things.
I was running around all day teaching classes. I barely had time to eat, but it was all worth it!! I had a great time.
So, that is my weekend in a nutshell! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I know I did! :)

Homegrown Scrapbooks New Kit for Fall Survival!
Just when I think that Stephanie cannot top herself, she does.
There is a lot of yummy goodness in this kit. And the Add-ons are to die for.
I think I bought every bit of it. Shhhh! Don't Tell my husband. LOL
If you do not know, over a year ago, Homegrown Scrapbooks came up with a new way to do a kit.
The kit is done every 3 months. There is a Spring, Summer , Fall and Winter Survival kit. It is jammed packed with paper, alphabets and embellishments.
When you purchase the kit, you are enrolled in a 6 week program. Each week you download a pdf that is jam packed with layouts and techniques. Each one of them has step by step instructions on how to create it AND the sketches for the layout. All you have to do is play along.
You also receive a binder to put each lesson in. By the end you have a binder filled with sketches and ideas. It ends up being a huge idea book.
There are also challenges and prizes given out at the end of each program. I love it!! You should check it out. It is definitely not your ordinary kit club!!! And you will not regret it!
Here are the pictures of the kits and the add-ons. I will post the layouts and mini album I have completed using the Summer Survival Kit this week.

I think I bought every bit of it. Shhhh! Don't Tell my husband. LOL
If you do not know, over a year ago, Homegrown Scrapbooks came up with a new way to do a kit.
The kit is done every 3 months. There is a Spring, Summer , Fall and Winter Survival kit. It is jammed packed with paper, alphabets and embellishments.
When you purchase the kit, you are enrolled in a 6 week program. Each week you download a pdf that is jam packed with layouts and techniques. Each one of them has step by step instructions on how to create it AND the sketches for the layout. All you have to do is play along.
You also receive a binder to put each lesson in. By the end you have a binder filled with sketches and ideas. It ends up being a huge idea book.
There are also challenges and prizes given out at the end of each program. I love it!! You should check it out. It is definitely not your ordinary kit club!!! And you will not regret it!
Here are the pictures of the kits and the add-ons. I will post the layouts and mini album I have completed using the Summer Survival Kit this week.

New Layout and Etsy Find!
Today is laundry day (ewww!) and I only have a second.
But I wanted to share a layout I did using something I found at an Etsy Store and the new Teresa Collins papers .
If you do not have the Teresa Collins papers, you have to get them. They really are awesome!
And these die cut scrolls are my new addiction.
Wanna know where I got them?
Check out the article I wrote on the Homegrown Scrapbooks Blog and you will find out!
Have a great Sunday!

Summer is here!
The kids are out of school and it is disgustingly H-O-T! Seriously! I have not wanted to step outside for a week. I mean, come on! What is the point of getting dressed, putting make up on and doing your hair, when as soon as you step outside you melt like wax. Not to mention any clothes you are wearing melts into your skin. YUCK!
Can you all tell I do not like the heat? haha!
I know some of you have been wondering the state of my new scrapbook room. It is going..slow and steady. Emphasis on "slow." The drywall is up. Primed and I am almost done painting.
The room is in the basement and has one little window. In other words, no natural light. It will be okl because James is putting in a boatload of lights in there. It will be blazing! But it did not leave me a lot of color choices for the walls. I am a green and orange kinda girl, but those colors would make my room look really dark.
I was talking with a friend of mine and we agreed that the only real option besides yellow (ew! lol) and white was pink. Now I have to tell you. I have never been a big pink fan. Not even in scrapbooking until my DD came along. Then it became fun. But still never thought I would paint an entire room pink. Maybe for Kaileyne, but certainly not for me.
Alas, that has changed. My scrapbook room will be pink. The color scheme will be black, pink and white. all white cabinets. black craft table. It will look good. I have been buying stuff like crazy for this room Loving that part. LOL
But right now the entire room is pink. I walked into it today and felt I was walking into a bottle of Pepto. Seriously! The color is Champagne Blush. It is a great color. Just a little overwhelming when there is no ceiling tiles or flooring in there yet. Just PINK! KWIM?
Enough of my incessant babbling.
The room may not (probably won't) be done until late fall. I am saving up for the cabinets and the countertop. I am thinking black countertop with the white cabinets. Because I am messy when it comes to stamping. LOL What do you all think?
Also, I am looking hard for seat cushions for my new room. I want a Pink plaid. You know black white and pink. I am so desperate i was thinking of trying to (GASP) make them myself. And I don't know how to sew. It could be an adventure. LOL
Ok that is about it. my scrapbook room update. And the weather. LOL Hotter than you know what! Thank goodness for air conditioning. I may never leave my house. And you think I am kidding.
Gotta run. Little boy is hungry. I think for lunch he will be having peas. YUMMY!
Take care and will write soon. Kaileyne has her ballet Recital this weekend. So I should have tons of pictures to post.
Have a great week.

Happy Memorial Day!
I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
It is a jam packed weekend for me. Like it has been for the last few months. Nothing has changed. LOL
My hubby says that he thinks I thrive on chaos. I plan too many things to do. Go crazy doing them all but somehow get it all done.
This weekend was no different. Last Friday I decided I wanted to do a yard sale. So I was running around the house like a mad woman trying to clean out all the cabinets and shoving them in the garage.
I had the yard sale on Friday and Saturday. Early morning! Ewwww! I am so not a morning person. Not at all! But having a 4 month old baby as your alarm clock works well for me. He does not let me sleep past 6:30 am. LOL
So, after the yard sale on Saturday, I packed the kids in the car for a cookout at my mom's house.
Then, after 4 hours, I packed the kids in the car again and drove to a camp site to drop the twins off with daddy. James goes camping every year with his friends and he wanted the twins to come this year. Are you being silly and asking why I was not camping this weekend too? Awww you are funny. I am not the camping type. Hotels are more my bag. LOL But James and the kids love it. And they won't be back until Monday(insert giggle here).
After dropping them off, I drove home with Quinn and we both sacked out for the night.
Today, my brother Pat is watching Quinn so I can mow the lawn. It really needs it. We have had so much rain lately that the grass has been perpetually wet and not mowable. it has gotten so bad that I have been calling it the Taylor Jungle!
When I am done that, I will be doing laundry and (gasp) scrapbooking. I am so excited. I may even stay up late to crank some layouts out. I miss my night owlness.
And don't let me forget the race is on tonight. Coca-Cola 600! Do I need to say it? YES I DO!
Go TONY!!
So, that is is my weekend in a nut shell. What are you doing?
And so that you know I have been cranking out some stuff using the Spring Survival kit from Homegrown Scrapbooks. If you have not checked it out, you really should. I know I am biased but Stephanie was brilliant when she came up with this program!
And speaking of Homegrown, I will be doing an article spotlighting a Hot Blog and Etsy find. I have never been to Etsy. So, when I went there I was amazed at all the beautiful things on there. And I found something to die for! No, I am not going to tell you yet...stay tuned!
You will not be disappointed!
So, let me share some of the things I have done......
This is an altered screen I did about the two places I want to travel to.
Have a great weekend!!
