I got this award recently from
Angie ! Thank you Angie!
I decided to list some things about me that were scrapbooking related since I just recently answered some things about me personally!
1. I am a very neat scrapper. I take out a kit, place all the papers in one area of my desk and all the embellie's in another. Then I hit it. I always clean up after I do a layout or project to start another one. But have to admit every now and then I scrap messy with an entire kit doing DT stuff.
2. I am a very quick scrapper. It normally only takes me about 30-45 minutes to do a layout. If I take longer, I usually end up not liking it.
3. I normally create a layout first and then add photos around the layout I create.
4. I use hot glue a lot on my pages and I don't care!
5. I actually think I could say that I like making cards the more I do so!
6. I use a corner rounder on every single page I create. I have too it seems unfinished to me if I don't use it!
7. I would rather someone make it for me instead of me trying to create something homemade. Such in case flowers, or any other embellie's out there. I'm too lazy to be bothered and I figure if its out there then what's the point? LOL.
8. I photograph all of my projects by our sliding door because that is the best light in the house.
9. I use a black apron that Dayv got one year for Christmas as a back drop for my projects when I photograph them.
10. I always listen to music while I scrap. It ranges depending upon my mood.
On to other stuff...
Dayv is about to go on a short deployment. Go figure. Then because the flight line is closed here on our base they have been traveling to another base that is about 1-2 hours away and once he gets back from his deployment then every other week he'll be gone to this other base. Oh joy... Note the hint of sarcasm.

I am happy to report that prayers and thoughts have done some serious positive things to Jake concerning Gracie! He is finally getting used to her to the point where he's not following her around all that much anymore and wags his tail every time she is near. I do have to share a scary story with you though... We were walking the dogs, everything was fine when we came up on a dog that look identical to Gracie. The dog wasn't on a leash. I saw it running toward us and said very loudly no, no, no! Because I could tell the dog wanted to play however as you know Jake doesn't like other dogs and he wasn't in the mood to play... The dog runs up and Jake instantly bit it. In fact, his breed is known for having lock jaw once they bite. So here we are in these people's yards trying to pry Jake off of the other dog. The dog was afraid for its life, Kira was barking as A was holding her, I was holding both Gracie and Jake and Gracie wasn't too sure what was going on either. A man comes running out with a knife and says that he is going to kill our dog. Which of course i didn't hear our I would of probably not been so nice. But Dayv told the guy to back off and he pried his finger into Jake's mouth and tried to get him to let go. He hurt his finger badly and couldn't feel it for most of the day. The guy happened to of worked with Dayv so when he realized it was him, he backed off as we tried to pry Jake off. He finally let go. The two women standing there made me upset because she was hugging the dog and saying, he doesn't like you he doesn't want to play. I was standing there thinking to myself that we would have to put Jake down and disbelief that their dog wasn't on a leash. Dayv talks to the guy and all 3 of us finally walk away, our adrenalin pumping so hard and fast all of us... We walked home and Jake ended up snapping at Gracie but didn't actually try to hurt her. But we scolded him for it and he knew that he shouldn't of. Since then he's been extremely calm. We are so glad and thankful! I thought it odd that another dog just like Gracie came bounding up and he bit that dog. Dayv called the guy the next day and the dog didn't even bleed. Seems that Jake bit the fatty part of its mouth which didn't draw blood, thank goodness. But what a mess! We thought we were back to square one but once we returned home and on Monday he really was pretty much over it and back to himself. So thankful and so happy that we prayed over this whole situation!!!
I don't have anything scrappy related to share with you right now. I have things I'm creating but they are 1/2 finished and that would look well.. Weird! But I am busy creating with some fun stuff! I am really ready to dive into this and create with
April Nook's kit.
I'll be diving into that sucker a little bit!!!!
I have to share also that I am off for the next 4 days! Isn't that a major score!!! I worked 10 days straight and well I took off the next two days 2 weeks ago and it all worked out! I needed this. I don't have any major plans. A has band tomorrow and is spending the night at a friends' so its just D&I. Who knows what we'll do!!! :)
Ya know what's funny? It's supposed to be spring right? And all of these spring collections have come out including this one
which is laying on my desk with the 1/2 finished layout.. But the thing is its supposed to be spring and yet it isn't here in WA. We couldn't even fake spring here right now! So while I am loving this kit collection that I recently won, I find its hard to scrap springy stuff when we are still wearing hats, gloves, scarves, and coats!!!! Heck we can't even wish it to be spring, but we sure want it to be!!! LOL.
Well friends its time to go walk the dogs in the blundering cold... It's trying to snow! Seriously..?
Oh well good weather will be here soon enough! Happy day to you all!
