Good Morning Bloggers!

2010-09-27T23:17:00.001-07:00

It´s been cold and rainy here, not much of autumn aproaching these days.
Just the right weather to hang on the computer and get things done.

I have started to check on all my traditional Albums, Pictures,
and files of Scrapbooking and Photos on the Computer...

I did not know how to start out.
Now I do know.
I have a plan!

I first took a look through all my albums I have done so far.
I took a look at all the files that got saved, and all the finished digital
layouts I have left.

Now my plan is:
1. I have to finish an album I have once started for my mom .. its only 20 Pages
to finish, photos are here... so one more traditional Scrapbook to finish first. to get me going with this.

2. I am typing off a list with all the happenings back when till now

3. I am making a list, of whos album goes what happening to
( I have kids albums, and family album and need to start a album just for hubby and me,.. later on when i am up to date with all the already developed pictures and such, I will redo OLD albums back when i wasnt scrapbooking yet)

4. I have to decide what to do with digital Scrapbooking and what to do the traditional way

5. I will get started on my littlest ones Scrapbook and get this up to date
6. I will get on my " Hubby and me" Scrapbook, from the day we started dating to now
7. I will get at my older boys scrapbook, because I want to redo his baby album, and then fnish up what i missed till now
8. And once I am every gonna get up - to date with all this .. I will maybe redo some of the old albums ...not sure how to do that.. because that is back the times when there wasnt digital photografie, and i have it all on negatives and lots of negatives missing...

So,... does that sound like a plan?
I am feeling good about it, alltough I am still a little afraid of starting out.. but getting my moms album done, will hopefully get me in the mood ....

That´s it for today!

About my pain,... trying to come back

2010-09-20T23:24:00.000-07:00

Good Morning, how have you been?

I am trying to be brave, and come back to scrapbooking.
My Heart is still bleeding. I have lost so many scrapkits.
Some photos where able to be rescued, but most I lost.
Now I got a new pc last winter, which has a "mirror-hard drive"
Means, everything I do will be saved twice. If one hard drive crashes
I still have one where everything was copied to.

Still it makes me nervous to get started. Still so many kits I havent used yet
And for some photos, I think of those kits I wanted to use, for some kits think of the
photos I wanted to use.
I am missing lots of them, and dont know if I will be brave to buy or freebie-download
me any anymore.

Also I had a horror even taking pictures... only the most important occassions
I had snaped... not even with passion, tough I miss taking time to walk out
and enjoy life behind the lense. I am so horrified to loose anything again.

Last horror happening to me ... and will never again:
My 9 year old turned 10, and I took him to Sea life.
Prepared with camera .... we had a great time, I shot and shot and shot.. so did he with his 1st better digital snappy....
Getting home... there were no pictures... obviously the little one had the camera and played with it, changing all kinds of settings....
So,.. only a few shots of my boys cam... but non of the pretty ones I shot of him in front of the large sea life aquarium...

So, thats been the update here...
I dont know how to go about it...
I still have tons of Traditional Scrapbook Things...
And do also like the photo books you can print online
Also love the digtal art still....

I gotta find my way through... I will see ...
Just wanted to pop in and make myself writing down, like a contract to myself.

happy scrap!
Autumn comes

Apollogizing for no credits

2009-01-14T23:15:00.000-08:00

Hi back!
I miss scrapbooking!! I have pictures and pictures, but I cant scrap with what little is left of my hard drive crash. So, I looked through all my layouts ( all of them are left) and realized, I cant even credit them all anymore.
To all the Designers, I used and to those who would like to know what Designers I used on my layouts, I am so sorry, I now cant credit may layouts, because all my stuff got lost at the crash!!! Maybe, if you come across some you know, please leave me a note in the comment section, and I will sure add this to the Post.
ALSO I HAVE A QUESTION: Can anyone tell me, how I can change the color of the Fonts for the comment links? I see nobody wants to comment, if they cant focus the link for it:-o

Well, we are having issues here again. We are all back hanging with a cold again, also my hubby is having issues,... uhm ... he might suffer a hernia inguinalis, and went to the doc 3 days in a rowe now ... still no definate medical evidence.
Another appointment today, hope this will bring up results. They made him take pain drugs that he is allergic to, and he told them so, and they still made him take these. Some times I just dont get it. What are these guys studying for?

Hm,... that´s been it for today. Need to run to the stationery shop and get a new Fountain pen for my 2nd grader, they are starting to teach them to work with those, and he brought one to school they did not want him to use. Who the F** makes the rules? I dont care what kinda fountain pen it is, as long as he writes well with it?
whatever, now I will go get ANOTHER ONE. ARGH.

Take care ladies, and dont forget to leave your suggestions on the Font Color for Comment Section!

Mommy of 5

2009-01-14T00:47:00.000-08:00

I grew to a mommy of 5!!!!
How´s that? Whoohooo! Let me tell the story.

Remember we got my hubby to have these two bunnys?
Ok. We had them. They moved in. I built them a hutch in the back of our yard.
They moved there. After a while I decided, we need to have them in the house for a while so they can get used to the kids being around. OK. We had them in the house, they got to run free at nights. And Brownie even made friends with our Boxer dog Kim.
So far, everything went great. The Preowner and I werent sure, if either one of them was cut. After a while Brownie started to approach Schlappi... and he never gave up. So I had to part them. She moved back out to the hutch and he stayed with us, with plans to have him cut. Well it was about to be Christmas, so no appointment at the vet until January.
Schlappi started carrying together a nest. So I was prepared, that neither one of them was cut. I tryed to find people to take the babies just for "in-case".
After 2 weeks, she would not touch the nest anymore, so I left the nest be and did not worry for a while. I was out there daily twice to feed and clean. After another 2 weeks I removed the nest, since she hasnt touched it in 4 weeks now.
Nobody thought about babys anymore... just until last afternoon.
I needed to clean the hutch and sent David to feed her first, and then I would clean out. Ha. It took him 2 minutes to come back yelling there was baby bunnies:-o
I jumped right out, and sure enough, that little missy had brought us 5 baby bunnies, and had hid them in a corner where I had stored our hay and straw.
Now, these babys must be at least 4 weeks, they are already eating food and jumping and playing around.
So sad, their dad will never get to meet his kids, because he has an appointmet next Thuesday to be cut:-D ( yep, I called right away)
Well, now I am feeding 5 very sweet baby bunnies, and rasing them till they are old enough to be given away. I already have one person that might take 2 of them. The rest we will find new homes too.

So, here some pics to show off, will take more later on:

My life after the crash of the harddrive and my plans

2009-01-12T23:32:00.000-08:00

It´s January now, and I read about this sickness called "Dezember Hangover". I can tell you, I think I caught this virus too LOL. We all were so sick during Christmas, and now going back to work, I sure catched right back the next cold:-o I am so sick of that.
I finally am ahead of my chores again, it´s too cold to clean the windows, tough that anoys me to death. And also it´s too cold to clean out the car:-o It´s filzy dirty and messy but oh well, I aint gonna freeze off my toes to clean it out.
K, so here I am thinking about what to do with my crashed Harddrive.
I think I will leave it Rest in peace. I will just start over from the very beginning.
Not today. Not tomorrow. Not the next days ... but I will.
I have so many pictures to scrap, and facing all that pic developed and messy all over my two desks,.. nea,... no option, rather start collecting new freebies:-o :-D But like I say, not right away. I want to get ahead of my mail pile, and some chores outside in the bbbbrrrr cold. Also the attic needs to be organized, after tearing everything apart during christmas.
And maybe I am lucky to get to spend some days "off" with my hubby, it´s to cold for them to go back to work, and he is making some more wood these days ... once he is done with that, I should be done with my crab, and we can go do things without the kids, while they are in school and kindergarden. We´ll see.
Once everything totally went back to routine, I should have the mind to get back to scrapping and collecting. Maybe I need a pinch of new inspiration too.
Also, I am very motivated to start to work out. Have no clue how this is supposed to happen, cause I am very shy, when it comes to work out in a gym .. and to lonesome to work out all by myself. But I sure want to have exercise .... bicycling or so.. I dont know yet, dont have iceskates, would just be the right time.
Well, galls, that´s my plans for now.
See ya soon.....

some winterpics for now

Hard Drive crashed and lost half a year of hard work

2009-01-11T00:18:00.000-08:00

First of all, I want to wish you all a happy new year, health, joy and success!
And speaking of success I am at the point, to explain my absences.
I lost my hard drive. I had the pc over at my moms boysfriends to recover,... and he finally got it back working so far. But I lost over a half a year of hard work!
Over 100s of scrappingfiles are missing.
I usually have everything stored on my external hard drive, but it´s USB got broke so my husband transferred everything to my intern harddrive D so it would not get lost.
Ha, and now my Hard Drive and my whole Motherboard of PC f**kd up, and it needed the PC Doc...it still just shuts off and shows blue screen, and this pc is not even 1 year old.
Now I am more then distracted, demotivated and very upset.
All of you out there know, how much hard work all that is... and I lost it in no time.
Some stuff was even harder work, I was searching for for weeks, trying to get a hold of designers ... to find their very old stuff and make them send it to me... and now its all gone...
I really dont know, if I want to start over. I am lacking of time ever and ever, and the fact of knowing each missing file demotivates me even more.Every single file I opend, realizing how much is missing, puts tears in my eyes!! Even all my own created stuff ... gosh.
I suppose I really need a break, thinking about it.
It hurts bad.
Now I am not even in the mood sharing pics...
I just really dont know what to do.
Hang in there guys,... see ya

Christmas Review

2008-12-28T00:44:00.000-08:00

Ok Ok. It´s over. We survived Christmas and our bad cold... kinda ... we got stuck with this mean caugh!
Christmas was strange! The little one got up soooo damn early,having high fever and we went to bed late at 2 or so ... so he was standing there in front of our bed at 5.30am and licking a christmas three styled lolipop:-o Now we were all afraid he would have opened all the gifts by himself LOL, but luckily as we went down he only wanted the loli .. so the big one came down too,... and now get this. David is 8 and after all the opening and "yeays" and "ohs" ... he thanked us both for all the gifts, and he admitted he knows there is no "Christmasangel" (what we call it in some parts of Germany)... I was so bummed because he acted like believing in it...hm ...I did not really know how to take this one ... but I guess it´s ok ... I was hoping he would believe in it a little longer... but he is smart how couldn´t I´ve seen this coming?
Well, now we will play this game for Brian ... and David can be the "Big on being generous not telling the little one" LOL
Later in the morning Davids Dad and his gal came over, and more gifts for everyone there, it was nice spending some time with them.
For launch we invited my DH´s Coworker who is Portugese and has no Family around here, also my Father in Law, it was a nice lunch, and Father in Law left early ( he owns a Bar/Restaurant and needed a nap) ... so the rest of the day we spent with Porto and gave him a ride home late afternoon...
Next day we were invited over at my moms house, and spent Lunch there! All the kids were there, but it always seems after receiving the gifts everyone gets lazy to communicate and we left for home around 5.
2nd Christmas labor day my father in law invited us for lunch to a jugoslavien restaurant where i know the owner. I went there the first time, and hell it was so yummy!!!!
Now, yesterday my hubby went for wood with all the boys and I cleaned up a little, at night I went to work.
Today we are heading over to my dads place afternoon, havent seen him in a longer while!

Well, my Christmas pictures turned out horrible.
My camera uses Batteries up in no time, so my hubby handed me my gift. It was a high quality battery charger with high quality batteries, also a handy digicam from "Rollei" for the "In-case"cases.. I jumped right on my new camera, and never thought about the settings, so alllll my christmas pictures turned out strange, or blurry, or dark:-(( :(( now after resetting it, it still doesnt impress me ... I was thinking about bringing it back... but dont wanna hurt my hubs feelings.. so dont know what to do there!
My Hubby is going to have his tattoo he got for christmas tomorrow. He can hardly wait anymore!:-)

Now, Here´s some pics of Christmas... (some with no impressing quality)

here one of the not very impressing ones, the following pics were made over at my moms house
but David was pretty sure THIS is THE GIFT

haha, I am brave enough to show this one
it came, because we were talking about good looking dump pictures

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

IF ANYONE HAS A SUGGESTION HOW TO SAVE THIS BAD PICTURES PLEAAAAAAASEE!! LET ME KNOW!

Back with a bad cold

2008-12-17T08:54:00.000-08:00

Just shortly checking in.
I went down bad with a cold and seems like the kids are trying to catch up on it too ...
We will end up burried under napkins at christmas night! Geee, really did not need that
JUST NOW!?!?!
Well, we finally went Christmas shopping monday... and done pretty well, only two gifts missing, and those will probably end up having money in their christmas card, because the one is 20 and student really needing money, and the other one is 16 and just started an apprenticeship and needs money above anything else ... not very personal, but whats the point making them a gift, they might not want or need.
I still have not baked christmas cookies, but my hubby thought baking "virus cookies" isnt the best of an idea,.. so we might end up baking at the weekend, when I maybe get to feel better.
Anyways, whatelse is new,... is my haircut!!
During our christmashopping we passed a hair saloon, and them gals there seemed very bored,... so we hiked back there to have the little one cut hair,... and as in fact i was whining to my honey in forever wanting to go have a real haircut ( which i havent had in 10 years)
Well we ended up spending 120 Euro for me and both boys,... David wanted to have tribals cut into his hair. I felt so bad, spending so much on the hairdresser, but it happened to turn out better .... after the hairdresser we went to my father in law who owns a restaurant,... and he has one of these money gambling mashines in there, so my hubby threw in 5 bucks,.... and out there came 100 ... LOL ... so now I dont have to feel so bad about the hairdresser anymore! LOL

Well, are you curious what I look like now?
I have a cellphone picture right now,... better one later on

I am still alive, and up with new pictures

2008-12-10T23:54:00.000-08:00

not so sure about this one, i have one when David went to preshool make your own choice

this one really impressed me, i love it

Have you been wondering where i was?
pffffff. Dont even ask.
My Router broke, so we had no internet and phone connection for 3 days.
I fell into depressions the last days too ... just looking at everyone having baked
Christmas Goodies yet, and having all their gifts gathered for everyone ... and I have
neither one of these things accomplished yet.
I am in no Christmas Mood at all .. puring down rain out instead of snow and Germany isnt
a very good Inspiration for Christmas at all ... They say Christmas is in your heart, I just cant
feel it. The kids dont seem to be in Christmas Mood eighter .... and my hubby is still going to work,
He will be off next week ... maybe ...

Well, at least the kids preshool Pictures cheered me up a little. Loved some of them!!!

nothing very impressing but its nice

cute

hm

aweeeeeeee .... gorgeous huh?

Christmas Poem that touched me deep PLEASE READ!

2008-12-01T23:22:00.000-08:00

I received this in my email today. My aunt sent it, whos husband used to be in the Navy for many many years .... I had known/ and still know many families who have somebody serving their country.
I want to share this email, and make you all realize, who less sorrows we all have, compared to all these Army/Navy/Marines a.so on

A Different Christmas Poem

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.

The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.

The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.

Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.

"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..

To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.

No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ' Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.

I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.

I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."

" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."

Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

PLEASE, would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some credit is due to our
U.S service men and women for our being able to celebrate these
festivities. Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what we owe. Make people
stop and think of our heroes, living and dead, who sacrificed themselves for us.

Happy Birthday my Baby!! Now you are turning 3

2008-11-22T23:24:00.000-08:00

s
credits on the QP i made with the birthday blog train elements and papers
can anyone tell me whos blogtrain this was? that time, many were up ?!

Yeahay! We are having a Birthday today!
Our little Bam Bam is turning 3!!
Gee, does that mean, the terrible 2 are past?! LMAO I think he is doubling up one more, and making terrible 4 out of it ?!

I tell you what, I was cleaning my house, and baking a littl cake ( Since I knew I was working and beeing busy, I ordered a big cake at the bakery for the guests) all day yesterday. Then I went to work and worked till 1 am ( celebrated my bosses birthday for a few, before I headed home), and then I decorated the kitchen and finished his cake, so it was 2.30 am when I went to bed. And now you tell me, what time Brian got up?! Guess what !????
6.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!! Usually I dont wake up, when he gets up. My husband gets up with him, since he is leaving early for work anyway, and my hubby wakes me up at 6.30 so we get to drink a cup of coffee together, before he leaves... but today ! I somehow woke up when Brian took the steps downstairs! I shaked my hubby and told him to get up, Brian was on its way down, while I already jumped up so I dont miss out on his "surprised face"...
Funny was, when we came right behind him, Brian stood there in the door, lifting his hands and shouted " Taraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" ROFL !!!

You would think kids are surprised, and jump right on their presents. But Brian was kinda strange. He scares me once in a while with his adultly expressions!! He sat there, receiving his gifts, unwrapping it slowly, carefully .... and seeming so thoughfull while doing this.
He did not eat cake, only looking at it. He did not tore apart the wrapping paper, but carefully ripped piece for piece.. He did not scream "yeah" or anything, He just looked, tryed and put it away to receive the next gift!!
It was strange! But he liked all his gifts, and that´s what makes me happy!
Now I am having a very strong cup of coffee, and the kids are playing quietly (strange too!!)
My hubby passed out on the sofa... so its pretty quiet here.
The snow comes down steadily (strange too) Havent had real nice snow in two years.
So I guess I just sit here, enjoy my coffee and get prepared for the party afternoon,.... I dont know what to do for lunch,... I dont know what to do for dinner ...

I have to apologize for being bad about giving freebies, but I was so wound up in Brians preparation for his birthday and work and so on, I just havent had the mind for this.
Upcoming week I will be busy decorating christmas at home and at work, also some other stuff... so I really dont know if freebies will be up soon.
Be patient, I dont forget about it.

And now off I am .....

Happy Birthday lil Bam Bam
(Why Bam Bam? Do you know Bam Bam the lil one from the Flintstones? Exactly my boys caracter)

Demotivated and Depressed

2008-11-19T00:08:00.000-08:00

God, I still have all these pictures on my harddrive, my camera card, and 700 developed pictures,.. and I just dont seem to get on it?! I just took a peek on the layouts I already created, and I dont like even 1 !!!! What on earth? I would love to scrap, but I just cant. I feel the pressure of having all this pictures around, and getting nothing done!
When I look at all your guys printed albums I get jealous, you all seem to know what and how you want, and I scrap and scrap, just to delete it later on!! :-(
I should find a way of getting it accomplished to scrap all my stuff?!?!
I have pictures of back to 2006 ?!:-((
Hardly sort them up ... I still have a album to finish for my mom, one to finish for her Boyfriends 50th Birthday, two to finish for my aunt, I started and now dont like some of the pages... and then all these pictures laying around everywhere.... Christmas sneaks up on me slowly but surely, no gifts yet, no cookies yet .. oh boy
Also I cant make up my mind on artscow! I´d love to sign up and have christmas cards printed, but I havent finished enough layouts for a book yet, I will redo all the layouts ... so, I would only loose all the coupons ....
AAAAaaaaarrrgh! Any suggestions?
I should do a layout contest LOL, But nothing I would have to give either:-(

First Bunny Layouts

2008-11-18T04:45:00.000-08:00

Now this morning I got to make this two layouts ( 2 Page look) with our new bunnys.
Look at Davids lovingly smile at the rabbit! Isn´t that sweet?

The Bunnys moved in

2008-11-17T11:09:00.000-08:00

The bunnys finally moved in on Friday night. But I did not tell the kids until late Saturday noon.
I thought them rabbits should have some time without commotion to get settled in their new home.
I haven´t acomplished to take pictures of their hutch yet, but at least I can show off the bunnys.

They are still very shy, I dont think they are older than 1 year if not even less! "Schlappi" the whitish one is a not as shy as "Brownie" but I guess kids and bunnys need to get used to each other frist.

Well, here´s the first pics for now.

"BROWNIE"

"SCHLAPPI" ( German for Schlappohr because of his hanging ears)

Christmas Card with Joni G

2008-11-17T00:24:00.001-08:00

As you all should know by now, I love JONI G.´s stuff. She´s just putting so much heart to her stuff, and the colors are just exactly my colors!!!
So I made a Christmas Card with Jonis Kits "Christmas Star" and "Christmas Star Add on"
If you like them you can just right click save them to your harddrive!
I also created this card with the Starframe cut out so you can insert your own pictures and left the text off the back so you can put your personal text there. Please just let me know, if you want that, and I will upload it to 4shared.

Also go visit JoniG for her kits!! And leave her some love! The more she gets, the more she can put in her kits ;-)

Heres the cards front and the cards back the size is 5x7

Also a few weeks ago I created a Addon Alpha to Jonis stuff, it´s available here

Freebietime again !! TWO CHRISTMAS CARDS

2008-11-16T10:38:00.000-08:00

OH my god! I survived my first rough weekend at work!
I tell you what, this Generation of youth here in Germany isn´t very respectful!
When they got drunk enough, they pied and puked on our house walls and the restaurant windows!! ( the restaurant is in the basement)
Oh my god, this was the worst disco night we´ve ever had! But it was worth it too.
I lost my voice, worked my butt off, busted my ankle but thats ok! I just love this job! The more hectic it gets the more I love it!
I am totally wore out and tired, but I had to get on some of my -to do list things- so I decided to start on one of the easier things! I created my Christmas cards!

You can just save them with right click to your hard drive, no point´n of doing a 4shared download for this! Its 4x8 size!

Here´s the first one Front

Just an update

2008-11-12T00:01:00.000-08:00

Hm. It´s been a while since I posted.
I was very busy working and doing chores and running here and there.
But this is my first really quiet morning and it´s a blast:-)
I enjoy sitting in this totally quiet house, the only noise is the dog breathing beneath my feet
and the stoves fire. I love it!
The Lady at the kindergarden told me, I could sure take some more time. She said Brian is totally integrated to the group and I can pick him up later, so we set the time frame up to 12/ 12.30 for the rest of this week. Geeeeeee!
Now I caught up all my chores, that I was behind at. And now my house is clean and no mess piles other than the laundry to iron, and I tell you what it can wait!
So, some news too!
My neighbour has two bunnys, they got left behind when his son moved out. He asked me if the kids would want them, and if they could have them. Finally after a week we got my hubby to agree. He wasnt to happy about having bunnys,.. we had some years ago, and we had to get rid of them because they were biting all the time. Also I had mice, and they died ( well they were old)
Anyways, so now I have to clean out our pavilion ( a little wodden house in the back of the yard) and make it to be a rabbit hutch ... it will be cosy and generous place for the bunnys.
Cant wait to be done and move them in.

Thats it for now! Hope to be back with freebies soon, I am looking forward to a busy week of working. I will have a long night Friday and long evening saturday also a busy week Tues/Wed/ Sat/Sun next week...

Take care !

Hey there,

wondering what I been up to?
Well, it doesnt seem I am getting a lot done while the little one is gone to Kindergarden.
Always something I have to do, or Appointments, it´s aweful, I´d love to have a day off, with sleeping in, being lazy in a clean quiet house, but I suppose for now I have to take what I can, and just keep going. My hubby fell asleep at 8.30 last night, he even missed soccer on tv. We made it till 9.30pm and went to bed:-( What a life?!

Well, but while he was sleeping, I made a big wall calender. It is to print in German size A2. Also it is German language, but I will try to fix one for you guys over the pond too!! Maybe I will even try to do more different layouts upcoming weeks.
If you want them printed out, you may have to save them on a USB Stick and have it printed at the store, or purchaise the print online, cause I doubt everybody has a big printer like my parents do.

Here´s the preview

We are going to Kindergarden and Boys Wordart Freebies

2008-11-04T02:41:00.000-08:00

yeahay! We are going to Kindergarden!
It was our first day today, and Brian was very sure he needs to go in Pyjamas at 7.00am

Ok! 7.40 am, we are heading to the kindergarden! Finally even dressed:-)

In front of his Room, the Kindergarden has groups called after animals. Brians Group is the Bears. Now, the Date I should have changed on the calender. Today is the 4th Tuesday.( stupid me)

All in all, he only went 3 hours today, and will all week. So many impressions and so much commotion he needs to get used to first. But after he is weaned he will be going till 2.30 pm.
I am working late nights, and this gives me time to accomplish my household chores and gives me naptime. Also the big one has time to finish his homeworks( here in Germany they only have school from 8 am to 1. pm)
I feel a lil bad about putting him to kindergarden so long, specially because I actually am home all day .. but Brian is very demanding and working late nights, I dont catch a lot of sleep having the strenght to manage everything. Thats the reason I am always so weak and wore out, doesnt help either on of us all.. So, I will have to deal with my guilty feelings, and just let this kid go .. kindergarden is good! Geeee... did i write this TO LET YOU KNOW, or to MOTIVATE ME?
Anyhow, the teacher said, things went great.
Now he is back home , we will soon have lunch and he will have his nap.

And because of this special day to us , I want to celebrate our first kindergarden day with some
Boyish wordarts.

Here´s the Previews, I called them "Scrambled scraps"

Also two little surprises included,... nothing big, but maybe u can use it

Download "Scrambled scraps" here

Well thats me ... always giving all I can till it TILTS and I have to reboot myself LOL

Anyways ... I read some people think its Scrapbooking day?
So now, who tells you it´s scrapbooking day?!
I found all kinds of dates for:

Here in Germany we dont do Halloween as big as in the US but we´re getting there ;-) Maybe like 10 kids a night we have, but the Fun is still worth, doing some spooky things for them!

I plan on opening the door in the dark and have a witch laugh while my glowing ugly fingers come around the door to hand them their candys ... also my son will sit beside the house on a lil grassy spot in the dark with a ugly mask and does not move, until somebody spots him and walks up on him, then he will laugh and move his head weirred LOL I wonder if he can even sit still that long
We´ll see.

Wordart Pack

2008-10-28T01:05:00.000-07:00

Just a short post today, not that I would have a lot to do .. well actually I have a lot to do, but cant help it until my hubby gets back home, he left for work though it´s puring down rain, so I am kinda hoping he gets a day off ( they mount Solar tiles unto roufs and it gets slippy and dangerous when it rains hard) Anyways I hope he gets a day off, so he can help me clean out the attic. I am afraid of hights, and even more afraid the little one will crawl up the stairs, while I am up there ... so I have to wait on somebody helping me.

Now, after a long day yesterday of planning my trips next year, talking to my mom and my aunt, and even trying to mediate between mom and aunt christina I now had the inspiration to do some wordart. I wanted to offer it in a pack for you, but the zip file was too big for 4shared, so you will have to download separatly *sorry*

Captured Moments and Remember When II

Captured Moments BORDER

Some love is sure apreciated!

I´m going to the states ! !Yeahayyyyyy!

2008-10-27T02:36:00.000-07:00

Hurray Hurray,

Guess what!
I am going to the states twice next year!
How it came all about?!
Well I mentioned to my mom I was in need of going to the states seeing friends and family ...
and mom jumped right on, she said grandma was asking us to come since quite a while now ..
so ... we are going to Montana to see my grandparents and aunt 2 and my friend Kim ... only for 10 days or so, but that should fill my needs of Homy Flair!!!!!

And also I talked to my beloved aunt 1 in Florida, that I need to slide out of here for a week or so,.. I am in need of a girl week of scrapping, shopping and hanging together,... so I asked her to help me on the flight ( cant afford two full flights a year, and also I cant slip out of here for more than 7 - 10 days at a time) So we set up the 17th of Febuary !! Now I am having something to look forward too!!!!!!!!!! YEAHAy! I cant wait to spend time with her, specially since her and I have a lot in common we like to go do ...

So my greatest of all Husbands will be watching the kids while I go play in FLorida in Feburay, also he will be staying with the kids while I fly in to Montana ... Isnt he a great guy?
I know we will be missing each other horribly, but we 1. cant afford flights for all of us ... and 2nd he is afraid of us both sitting in a plane crash and the kids loose both parents ( horrifying thoughts!!)

I love you aunti for wanting to help me !!
I love you hubby, for always being there for my needs!!

So know, I wanted to post a CELEBRATE Freebie, gotta go see if there is anything in my storage, for you ............................... I have so many QP for you to download, but still no permitions of all the Designers, that is so sad:-(

But I can try to offer the LOVE QP!!
I hope the Designer will forgive me, but I really want to express my Happiness today, and I am in time manner, because I was spending all morning on the net to find flights and gather my free miles on a bunch of airlines ( which are expired at each airline,... I had over 70 000 mils on delta, and havent used the card since 2002 so that really really sucks!!)

Anyways, I´d like to offer this QP to you:

I used a bunch of stuff from a Kit called "ALTE LIEBE GANZ NEU" by Gerti ( huh, now I found her blog, click the Kit name and follow its link to her blog, I will now write her an email to find this QP)
and one element from Scrapjemee from her kit " valantijn", hop on over to her blog too, she has some really nice stuff!!! THanks scrapjemee for leaving a comment on missing your name on the emb!
I hope I did not upset you both with putting this up without asking for permition, but I was so wound up, I hope we are good now:-)

The frame I made drawing it!

Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate, oh I can hardly express my Happiness today!

Catching up on things "layouts Campfire Night" and others

2008-10-15T23:31:00.000-07:00

Hey everybody,

huh were you wondering were I have been?
I tell you what, my internet and phone connection was cut for over a week.
My payment to the phone company came back, because I used my custom number instead of the
- what they call it - account number ... ARRRGH,... they have done that to me about 10 times this year,.. and guess what then they charge me 7 Euro for cutting the line!! I wish I´d have the choice of phone company!

Anyways, meanwhile I got caught up on some layouts .... and today I am in this mood,... this " thinking aout my aims- mood". I havent touched my 700 printed photos in over a half a year now, though I am getting close to be motivated ... but it still seems to be a stretch till I am wanting to get to it,... I have an album here, that I still need to start and finish for my moms boyfriends 50 th birthday which was LAST YEAR!! Also my moms album needs to be finished, also our family album and the boys 2 albums and my aunts album I made for her birthday and christmas LAST YEAR, where I am not content with what I have done ...
See ?!?! A bunch of work, and I just dont seem to get the mood for it ?!

I am feeling bad sitting here instead of doing my chores,... there arent a whole lot today, most of it I have done early morning ,... but it´s the fact of doing "nothing" that bothers me,.. I seem to always need to have a rough day, so I feel freedom and peace looking back on what I accomplished during my day... If i wasnt in a hurry, or feeling all wore out, I feel bad about that?!?!

Well, I want to show you my "about me" Birthday pages, and some other stuff I need to get uploaded,... It´s German written,.. so dont be wondering:-)
But first I will upload the Rest of our Campfire Night with my old friends!

A Bunch o´old friends and a Campfire Layout1

QP "Backyard Playground" ala Amazed scrapper

2008-10-03T09:37:00.000-07:00

I am very upset. I am about to explode!!
My boy,... he is 8 and loves to play soccer. So last year we signed him in on the team.
The group of his age had 3 Teams, and they were plum full with kids, so they put him to the littler ones. Well, he was happy to at least be on soccer training, but he was not allowed to play the games, because he was too old. Ok. The Season changed and he was supposed to change to his age group.
The trainer said, they was going to call us after summer vacation in the first week of school.
Ok. Nobody called. Second week. Nobody called. Third week. Guess what. Nobody called.
So, after a this I took advantage and looked up the Soccer club in internet. I found out the trainer of Davids Group was a husband of one of Davids Friends mom, so I called there.
She apologized and thought, they were expecting David and did not have a clue why nobody called ...hm .. strange to me ... but ok. I accepted and asked for the training times and so on, we chatted for a while. She told me the training is going to be every Thursday at 4 pm. K.
We showed up there at 4 pm. Nobody there. We went to pick up some grocerys and came back an half an hour later. Sure enough they were there. Again I swallowed my anger down.
So after the training the trainer said, David was allowed to be in the game on Friday ( today!)
I was surprised but happy for David. So. Today.
We had moms birthday and spent all day down at her house. And we had to come back all the way for David being in time on his 1st soccer game. My brother and his gal came along, wanting to attend his first game too.... and as we arrived, totally anxious ... the game was ON already ... for 45 minutes !!!!!!! I was so pissed! I went up unto the mom I talked to, cause she told me the game is at 5.15 and the kids meet at 4.45 ..... we were there at 4.45 !!! Well she acted like she never said a word to me!

I am going to find a different soccer club ! THATS FOR SURE!
My boy was totally disappointed, and I was about to jump in that ladies face!!!!

And I am really not in the mood, still in Anger but I want to share todays QP with you.

It´s Chrystal Jensens Kit "Backyard Playground"! I just love to play with these elements, they are the cutest!
You can find the Kit "Backyard Playground" here

QP "KindergardenKidKit" ala craftystar

2008-09-29T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hi there this morning.

Uhh, I am so tired! It was a long day again yesterday, and a little long evening too at the tax ladies.
And of course, stopping by at my parents, having dinner with them, we had yummy wild hog ( I normally dont eat any wild animals, no ducks, no goose, only pork, beef, and chicken) but that hog was yummy for sure, and even on Monday! I was spoiled rotten.
Anyways, tired this morning and it seems to be busy all week. Geeez.

But, enough of that, I am sure you want to know, who is the next one, that i will present a QP of?!

Well today it´s Becky from craftystar ! I received her permition just this morning.
I used her kit "Kindergarden Kid Kit", just because my little one will start Kindergarden in Nov.
And this colors are awesome, so that´s the deal for today!

Hop on over to Beckys blog and be sure to leave some love ... oh by the way, she sells handmade crafts too!

But now check out the QP ! As you can see, I mostly try to use more than one Frame! I think since everythink is so spendy, and these Photobooks here in Germany arent cheap to print, it´s a waist of money and paper, if I only do "One Photo" Pages. Down the road, you might find a second page to match this one... that´s another habbit I have, I cant have not matching two pages! Well enough bla bla, go grab it here

QP "Recycling the Rainbow" Knetfeders knuffige Kits

2008-09-28T22:52:00.000-07:00

Good morning everybody!

Aww, the weekend was short, too short!It´s again foggy out, you can hardly see 1oo feet!
Well I´ll make it short this morning.

Since there isn´t a whole lot of comments at my alphas,... I won´t be creating and offering them every day anymore. My time is to precious for not being honored! I am sorry for the few always leaving a kind word! I will on and off offer a Alpha maybe once a week or so, maybe making some kind of a " crazyscrapwitch´s sunday Alpha" or so, I´ll see.
For now, I will upload all my QP I created.
I am having a hard time to find the passion to actually scrap. I dont know what is wrong, I still have about 500 Photos developed to scrap the Paper way, but I just cant seem to motivate myself. And scrapping them digitally is a waist of money ( 500 Photos!! all printed!!) No new photos yet, to digiscrap, so I am kinda hanging in there, making QP at least, till I maybe get my motivation back on Paperscrapping.

Well today, Lanie from Knetfeder.de permitted me to offer the QP I made with her very unique kit. I love this kinda kits! As little Thank you she sent me her matching Alpha, so down the road it might be, you find some more nice QP with this kit.
Lanie´s Kit is called " Recycling the Rainbow" go check it out at her blog, and be sure to leave some kind words! PS: It´s a German blog, if you want Lanies Kits, you need to leave a comment FIRST ( she is smart isnt she) and she sends you the kit then. If you want the Alpha in Adition you need to send her a Layout made with the kit.

So, I am sure you now want to see the QP huh?

uh, wanna download it too? he he :-) here

Saturdays Vivaldi Fall Blast

2008-09-27T00:09:00.000-07:00

Good morning all! The night was short, and my house somehow is a mess as soon as kids and hubby are at home. Also I am upset this morning: My hubby caught my cold and was very whiny about not being able to stay at home from work next week, he may not be sick. But in the same breath he jumps on his dads car and leaves for helping making wood today.
Also it anoys me, that we are in this habbit, always helping others instead of getting our crab accomplished. We are having rough running weeks, every day something, and not a lot of time to slow down, not even the weekends. Huh, I am whiny, am I?
So I, as always, get left behing with the mess that they created in 5 hours last night and this morning, and I still feel sick too. But who minds? In my next live I should try to be a guy, and see what it´s all about!

Well, enough of this whiny mood, my todays download of Vivaldis Fall Blast is white!
Hope you like it!

Traci Sims Quick Page

2008-09-26T15:51:00.000-07:00

It´s late here today. Midnight. My hubby went to bed, seems like he caught my cold now.
I am feeline better, even the fever attacs are slowing down, so I should be all right by tomorrow or sunday. ( Good thing, gotta go to work sunday)
I got left behind here, at my PC ... and I´ve done a lot of Quickpages with all the kits I have, because I dont get to scrap or digiscrap any pictures,...

I found a kit over at Tracis Blog a long while ago.
I just love these bright colors and even more the artwork on the flowers and butterflies.
So I created this Quickpage for Traci and asked her permition to offer it to you all!
If you want to sneak through Tracis Etzy Shop go ahead, but dont forget to grab the freebie!

And Girls! Dont forget to leave some love!

Vivaldis Fall Blast Day 5

2008-09-25T23:12:00.000-07:00

Good morning to you all!
I am sooo sorry, I did not get another freebie accomplished yesterday, but I went down with my cold again in the afternoon! I dont have a sore throught, and no head ace anymore, but the fever keeps coming and going! I still feel sweating hot this morning, sigh.
But at least I got two more freebies for today .... but I am loosing inspiration,.... 20 downloads yesterday and NOT ONE COMMENT :-( :-(
I will finish my Vivaldis Fall Blast this week, and next week I have to think about things.
I am not sure if I am willing to spend my time to create them alphas for nothing:-( I really like doing it, but I can imagine doing something different to, other than waisting my time on people only rushing by and grabbing without paying attetion.

So, for today One Alpha in textured Brown tones

and matching Wordart

Geeez, thats no fun at all!

Anyways, for the few of you wondering where i have been these days,...
My Computer crashed for some reason it would not even turn back on. My husbands Computer doesnt have photoshop or anything, so I cant work on any more freebies for now,.. - not that its bothering a whole lot of you right ? -

Alpha "Crazy Chalk"

2008-09-09T22:59:00.000-07:00

Good morning everybody. Brrr, its chilly out there!!! It ought to be nice today, the breeze is fresh, but smells good,.. coffee tastes yummy this morning, but BRRR!!
Well, not much to say today. Only Housewife complaints. LOL
How come, that guys always have to decide for dirt?
I cleaned our bathroom yesterday after we attached some new window color to the tiles ....
And just so you know, whe have a shower in our bathroom upstairs, and a tub in the bathroom downstairs ... so anyhow, i cleaned the BR downstairs, and went to work at 7 pm .. how is it, that my lovely hubby always has to use the bathTUB ?!?! I only clean the shower once a week, mostly the kids and I use it, and its upstairs, so cleaning once a week should be enough, but the bathroom downstairs gets cleaned everyday, cause i dont like to show off a dirty filzy bathroom to our guests... and sure enough my hubby ALWAYS has to use the bathtub,.... aaaaargh!!

Ok enough of complaining LOL ... today I created something crazy ... its called Crazy Chalk ..like it , its just the right alpha for crazy boys, LOL
Maybe tomorrow, I will make another on this kind with the texture of yesterdays " All about the life of crazy boys" Wordart, We´ll see! Maybe let me know if you would want that! Also, let me know, if there is anyone out there still wanting UFO files .. I create the UFO files first , because I use them, but I dont upload them to 4shared anymore, since everyone wants PNG. So if you want UFO ask for it, and I´ll take care of it!

and for a change click on the image below, to get to the download

Leave some love ladies!!!!

Free Wordart "All about boys"

2008-09-08T23:11:00.001-07:00

Good morning ladies, as you can see I have been productive this morning already.
I thought for a change, I should make some wordart.
How did you survive your weekend? I am glad we are back to our daily routine after the fair weekend. This always costs a lot of money ( yeah there are people even saving for this time a year) However, hubby is back to work, and the kids and I get prepared for the "Back to school" next week. David cant wait to go back to school, and Brian will start Kindergarden in November.
Thats what I am looking forward too. LOL. He had a test go the one day, and I could hardly drag him home ... and once he goes to preshool I will work more night hours at work, and can catch up on sleep after I dropped them off (Kindergarden is right beside school). Also there will be nobody screaming in the mornings, nobody will be in my way doing the daily housechores ... oh wow, and it will be another kid leaving the house, taking his first steps without mom....
Well, enough for today, I am sure you want to snagg the wordart.

Leave some love before you go ladies!!!!!

And now go get it here

Alpha "Bucket full of Colors"

2008-09-08T01:15:00.000-07:00

Good morning how are you today?
Huuu ... after a rough fair weekend, we are trying to get our house all cleaned up again.
Our Fair in Town is the famost around here, and so this comes close to our town being in a mood like carneval, all the stores are closed, and everybody is at the fair, every day. Today is the last day, but since we have to go back to work tomorrow, we are trying to get a handle on the mess and dirt here... you know, this fair thing goes all day you come home at night go to bed, and go back there the next morning ...
Anyway, I still stole some time to create my Alpha, which i will need for my fair layouts ... its colorfull and pretty simple letters, I hope you like it ... and guess what ? ITS PNG LOL

So , since nobody will take care of our chores, go grab the Alpha "Bucket full of Color" PNG

Free Alpha "Red Leather"

2008-09-06T11:23:00.000-07:00

Hoo.
Sorry I am a little late today. Did you miss me at your daily coffee in the morning?
Geeee. We had two rough days. Had to work past afternoon, and after I went to our Fair in town with my coworkers and our boss. Now you wonder, what on earth is so rough, going to fair?
I am afraid of hights. And the youngest of my coworkers was pretty sure she wants to ride the "frezzbie" ... oh my god! Actually I am a Ride Lover, but THIS was a nightmare for someone that is afraid of hights!! Its a spinning thingi and spinns while its swinging back and forth ... my boss payed for all of us for this ride, and I am still trying to get a handle on that "afraid of hights deal".
But this threw me miles back. Why i jumped in on this? It did not look so scarry ... It seemed to be a relaxing swing,... and it was ... for like 20 seconds ... and the following 2 minutes i was sitting there, closed eyes breathing the 1-2-3- breath thingi. Oh boy...
After we got out I was about to puke, started running and as I arrived behind some kind of trailer I could not throw up for nothing ... so I started having a bad tummy, and head ace and heart ace .... so, thats been it for me that night .... i told one of my coworkers i was going to leave, and just headed off... I still feel sick today .. unbelievable huh? And the strange thing is,.. a airplane .. doesnt do that to me..
Well today we had the whole day off, the kids were split up, the one staying at grandmas, the other one staying at his dads .. so we spent a wonderfull day .... and the last time we´d done that has been a very long while!
Well, so thats the reason for me being so late....
And just because i had such a wonderfull day,.. I thought I´d share my wonderfull (how i think) Alpha "Red Leather" ... I really think it turned out great.. hope you like it
You all have a wonderfull day (its night here already) and now, go grab it

Please, Please leave comments, its really awefull how some ladies just go grab and off they went... its so sad, me loving to create this kinda gifts .. not a whole lot caring about that!

Depressed this morning and Free Alpha "Kinda torn Paper"

2008-09-04T23:24:00.000-07:00

Good morning, how are you today? I dont feel to well.
I dont know, it´s just this lil depressed thing. Do you know that, when everybody only wants you to ?
To come to work earlier,though you dont know how to organize a babysitter, because the babysitter is only available later,
to pick him up, though you maybe wanted to go out too,
somebody whining to you though you maybe need to whine too? I am just in this mood now, and thats how the daily Free Alpha truned out, gray and torn .....
non the less I hope you like it .... grab it ... I´m outta here ...

Some words to my Two POLLS! Please Read and RESPONSE

2008-09-04T04:40:00.000-07:00

So.

Today, I want to talk about the subject Freebie Downloads.
I had added the Poll, what files you´d rather download, and for now, there´s only PSP and PNG answers.
So here´s my question. WHY NOT UFO?
Ufo is easiest for me to create and save,... one full set of Alphas takes 20 minutes that way, Of course if I have to save each single letter it takes probably double of time. Well, I just wondered.
I can only speak for myself, but I hate it downloading alphas and then its a PNG or PSP file, where I have to cut them all out and save them extra each letter .... well maybe thats, because I just cant get along with Photoshop, I hate Photoshop. And to me it seems, Photoshop has some clues, to do actions like cutting out alphas and stuff like that way easier. Well, I am using Photo Impact, its way easier for me to handle. I just dont seem to be able to figure out Photoshop ?!

Well, It´d be nice to read some suggestions and oppinions here!

Free Alpha "Hallows Eve" and "Hallows Eve Spooky"

2008-09-04T01:36:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my boy stayed overnight at his friends. That had dissapointet me a little, because the day he came home, I had to work at night, and we couldnt really spend the evenning.. so I had prepared a Bar-b-cu and campfire while he spent the afternoon with his friend. But when I went to pick him up he bagged me to let him stay overnight. Well, sure as I am a nice mom, my needs are staying back behind everyone elses, so I let him. And it wasnt half as fun. We Bar-B- cued in a strange mood, and we backed out on the campfire. Instead my hubby and I were laying on the sofa trying to watch cop land, as a hard wind came up, and a storm was coming in, sure enough all the stuff on the camfire was flying around in the backyard, and all the windows were open, so the little one woke up because of all this noise going on .. after we prepared everything for the stormy night, and we had the little one back in bed,.. sitting back on the sofa... the satelite quit his work ... by that time I was sick of the whole shit going on and we went to bed.
Of course my hubby fell asleep right away and i kept turning around for about 2 hours ...
Ok you see, yesterday wasnt my day.... oh come on start feeling sorry for me LOL

Well, little one got up early this morning again, and since he watchs his caliou every morning I played on a alpha with my fresh brewed coffee .... I decided to make the same font in two different colors, for Halloween! Hope you like it ...
And now, since you listened to all my crab ... go get them

Spooky Hallows Eve Alpha here

Free Harvest Alpha

2008-09-03T04:31:00.000-07:00

Ok, my oldest is settled back home and sure gone to see his friend already.
We´d done the school shopping and I went away with quite good rate of 38 Euro.
Wow you say? Thats what I said LOL

It seems to happen more and more, that people get prepared for harvest ... fall ... autumn ..
BUT I AM NOT READY for this ?! There was only two weeks of summer? Who cheated me on the rest? But since I dont seem to get around I guess I gotta deal with it, and so I played around and made this Alpha today ... its a brown/redish colour, so I think we can not only use it for Fall also for lots of other layouts..

I am glad, at least some ladies where having pitty on me, and left some kind words! I THANK YOU VER MUCH, but I´d love to receive more,... we woman always want more!
Leave some words ladies, it doesnt hurt !!
So, enough blah blah for now,... grab your Harvest Alpha here

Still waiting on my missing boy, so while that, here a FREE WORDART " THOUGH N ROUGH"

2008-09-02T04:21:00.001-07:00

Sigh, I am still waiting on my oldest to come back home.
First his dad called, to let me know, they wont come home today.
Then 4 hours later, he called, to let me know grandma is bringing the boy home.... I was like really getting mad, but at least I am glad he is on his way home, he should be here in a bit.
So, since I bought a cake, because time kept acting up the " running thing" on me, I have some left over time, I need to recycle ... till he comes home .. the little one holds his nap,... and I remembered his time he had to spend in the hospital, I came across on of these ugly pictures, when he had needles in his veins on his forehead, .... shiver .... Well, so I created this wordart because we call Brian "little thoughi" his grandma calls him "Bam Bam" (Flintstones Bam Bam you know, the one, that is always so strong) LOL
Anyways, grab it here,... I gotta go check the street LOL
PS: Dont forget the love you know!

Free Wordart " Beauty of Nature"

2008-09-01T22:25:00.000-07:00

Good Morning Ladies, it was another short night. My hubby is having such a pain in his left upper arm and was up almost half of the night. He had taken blood at the docotor yesterday,
and the pain pills wont help at all. It will be Thursday till they have a diagnosis, so we both arent
very patient, but that means we have to wait.
Anyway, since my boy is coming home from vacation today, I have to get grocery shopping done in the morning, also baking a cake, and cleaning a lil ( i dont want ex - almost -mother in law to be shocked) oh well, no, actually I can accomplish my house to be clean most of the time. But Do YOU know that, whenever ONCE it is dirty around, Company shows up ?! Arrrrgh!!
Anyway, So I will be busy today, and wont be creating a Alpha today. But I made a Wordart last night for my layout above ... you can grab the wordart later on.
Cant wait my 8 yr. old babe to come back home ... ( sing sing Kid Rock) ... of course I am such a weak mom ... LOL he did not mind not calling me at all, and I did not want to act like a whiny mom, so I just called his dad every day, because he called there almost everyday his sister was where they were staying at.
Well, here check out the Wordart I gotta go.

(Just so you have a clue, he was only supposed to be gone till today)
Well, I am sure he is having a lot of fun, and I should be glad, the kids cant

Anyways, I am bored to death right now, so I decided to share with you,

(Digital) Scrapbooking Addiction here you find help

2008-08-30T22:35:00.000-07:00

Ok, today before I upload all my new layouts, I thought I´d share this with you.
Ahm, I wont expect anybody to admit. LOL

1. I will eat a proper breakfast, seated at the table, before I boot up my computer in the morning.

2. I will get dressed before noon.

3. I will make an attempt to clean the house, wash the clothes, and plan dinner before even thinking about downloading freebies.

4. I will remember that I have a husband and/or family, and that I used to enjoy spending time with them.

5. I will remember I have a dog/cat and remember to feed and care for it, as I should.

6. I will not eat my meals, in front of a computer, while blog hopping.

7. I will try to get out of the house, at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.

8. I will talk about subjects other than scrapbooking, when I am with friends and family.

9. I will remember that my life used to be filled with other interests that I have given up, now that I am so busy freebie hunting.

10. I will not download items that I will never use, just because I can.

11. I will try to make time to scrap some pictures with all the beautiful kits I've collected.

12. I will remember that I must go to bed sometime. Those freebies will still be there tomorrow.

You can see the original here.
But you have to excuse me, I just got me a fresh cup of coffee, at 1/4 to 8 in the morning, after working till midnight,... I have to do my daily share of surfing some freebies ROFL

The story about Davids Birthday was:

The weeks prior to his Birthday we asked him, what he would like as gift.
His answer used to be the same for weeks : " Surprise me"
Ok. We knew he would love to go to Playgo land (last Post)
So, I kept telling him, Legoland was too expensive to have in addition to a birthday party
Birthday cake, and gifts. I told him, if he would be going to playgoland, there would be nothing like all from the above.
He wasnt to sure about it,... and i left it at that (mean grin)

Anyways, as you can see in my last post, we had a blast, visiting playgoland.

So, we went to playgoland on Saturday the 2nd Aug,... his birthday was the 4th Aug,...
You can imgagine his whiny and crabby mood all sunday. I ignored it.
On his Birthday Monday,... he first got his "Soccer" Birthday cake, which totally blew him away.
( The prize blew me away too,... it was 30 Euro)
Also, he got a new pair of soccer shoes, soccer gloves, and topping all this, his aunt and grandma ( father side) sent him packages, and they arrived just in time THAT day. As you can see in the LO.
Anyways,... his day recording David: "turned out to be the best of my life, I expected nothing and got everything"

As anybody knows, I am very bound to the states. My grandparents live in Absarokee and my friend Kim lives in the hills of columbus, also several friends.
And this - of course - makes me staying in touch, and this also means I am having a close eye on fires in Montana.
We shortly had a friends house burning at Dovetail, and I am so glad, there is internet to keep an eye on things, because not always people hang around the phone.
Here I check out whats goin´on in Montana.
Here I check out the weather in the states.

We are going to legoland

What a Fun Day at " Legoland Germany"
Its about an 2 hour drive from our house. And it was exiting to get out, and actually have fun again. It´s been a long time, since we got to go anywhere. It was amazing to see all these playgo built animals and figurines .... wow !! Just so you have a clue ... A Zebra took 1500 hours of work.
The most blast we had at the pirates place ( getting really really wet)
It is a spendy day, we spent 72Euro on the (online) tickets and another 200 for food, goodies, beverage, icecream and so on ....
Anyway, its been great!

This year, is Brians first year, he realizes that this must be something special.
