05/25/07 Not to much going on!

My dh has a four day weekend so we have been doing yard work and stuff around the house. I over did it today while doing the backyard. I got heatstroke! Not fun at all!! I kept blacking out, throwing up and was so dizzy I couldn't function. But after a cold shower and about an hour nap I was ok.

I did manage to take a quick pick of my dd Emmalee. She was keeping me busy while I was sewing up some curtains.







I will be back tomorrow with a Freebie List. Take Care.

Schools Out, YAY!!

Well today was officially my kids' last day of school...summer has begun, Yay!!! I know your probably saying why is she so happy to have a houseful of 4 kids all day and all night right? Well we have a lot planned this summer and part of it involves swimming and kids kamp.

On a downer note my heating element in my dryer has gone out. Not much fun because the laundry piles up pretty fast in a house full of 6 people. Especially since I just gutted out my 5 & 6 year old girls' room. It was a disaster!! So instead of trying to sort through all of the clothes and blankets I threw them all in one pile and decided to wash them at home, throw them into huge garbage bags and dry them at the laundry mat. So that is what the majority of my day consists of, YUCK! The way I look at it is, better now that this weekend. LOL!

OK enough of that. Do you love taking pictures and have so may you don't know what to do with all of them, or do you need a bit of a nudge to get you snapping? Well here is a daily challenge at The Digi Shoppe for you. It is called Paparazzi 101, hosted by Quirky, and it challenges you to take one picture a day and share it in the forum. Come on it really isn't that hard, and the gals leave great feedback for you so come and join the fun. Here are some of my pictures that I have submitted for the past couple of days. TFL!

Weekly Color Challenge

Yesterday I was busy with the family so I didn't get a chance to post, Sorry! But today I am back with some awesome news. I have been participating in a weekly color challenge for a while now at The Digi Shoppe.

It is hosted by Bren Boone and she is so talented. Every week she posts a color pallette that she has chosen and a freebie kit that you receive upon downloaded to the gallery. Her freebie kits are great! She has had such great response that she has actually added another designer to help her. She is know around the board as Stef.... aka: schmoopie Schmoopie Scraps. I am sure she will do a wonderful job.

I have listed below the colors for the week of May 20th, and the freebie kit for this week also. The links are in the pics. She has also created a blinkie just for this challenge, pretty cool! You can pick the blinkie up in the forum. My submission for this weeks challenge is below. If you participate, make sure you tell them I sent you X.

Here is my submission for the week:

First Post Ever!

Hey all! This is my very first post, on my very first blog ever. I am new to this so please be kind.


The pics below are from Mother's Day. OK, I know it was a bit ago but like I said I am new and just wanted to post these before it's too late.

We went to my sister's house this year and had a blast. She has a brand new salt water pool, it is very beautiful (I am jealous). LOL! All of our husband made dinner and might I say it was very tasty. They did a great job. On top of my parents there are five of us kids, all of us have spouses, and all of us have children.

After dinner each of us (her children and spouses) stood up and told her why she was so special to us. I am the oldest so I went first. Let me tell you, there was not a dry eye in the house. I will cherish and remember this Mother's Day for the rest of my life.

Thanks for Looking,
