Word Art Freebie

I know I am a bad blogger! I keep up with Facebook though :) Kirsten is doing excellent at her new school. X-Mas shopping is underway. I'm keeping all receipts in case I find a better deal. I am anxiously awaiting Black Friday sales too. blackfridayads.net is a great site to check out ads early.



I have a cute freebie to share

Here's the awesome collab, Circus Boogie that I used from Danielle Corbitt and Wimpy Chompers Creations. Hope you like it!

Sunday Freebie

It's been a decent week. We had a great game night with 2 other couples tonight from our babysitting co-op. The kids got along well and had a blast too. Tomorrow I am headed to a bi-annual consignment sale's half price sale. Hopefully I will find some good deals. While cleaning up today I pulled out my stock pile of Kirsten's 4T winter clothes and am now glad I didn't buy many at all at the opening day sale as she has plenty of 4T stuff. I tend to stock pile larger sizes when I find awesome sales. Looks like I will be shopping for mostly 5T tomorrow.

I made a QP with Danielle's new Ooky Spooky Kit.

Here's another page I made with the same kit:

Double Freebie Friday...ok Saturday

It was a pretty good week for us. Having gymnastics and ballet on the same day is working out well. We have 55 mins in between to get Kirsten dinner. This week she missed ballet because she was too busy playing at Chic-fil-a and didn't stop to go pee.

I also got Kirsten's birthday invites out to everyone with an e-mail or that is on Facebook. I need to print out a few for those old timers that haven't moved to the technology century yet. I made the invit myself and I am proud of how the invite turned out.

This week I have two freebies for you. The 1st one is using Start Your Engines by Danielle Corbitt.

You second freebie is using Boo-ville by Brandy Designs.

Click photos to download. Hope you enjoy them!

Here's a few of my recent pages. Oh yea I am on Wimpy Cholper CT now too :)

Friday Freebie Frame

So I have a house full (ok only 1 child and 1 hubby) with crud. Kirsten started with a low grade fever. She was cleared by the Dr for now as they think it is a virus. The fever went away after a few day and now she is just a cranky little girl. Jake has a sinus infection and is on antibiotics. It's day 8 of 10 days and he started with a fever today. I hope they get over whatever it is and soon!

Wow Halloween is right around the corner! My baby turns 4 on Halloween this year. I dug up an old Halloween kit by Danielle to make a freebie this week.

If you want to use the freebie for points toward a gift certificate check out the Starlet blog for details.

Our Disney Trip & Friday Freebie Frame

Hope everyone had an awesome week. It was another long short week for me. I was on vacation last wk then came back to work for a day and then had Federal Jury Duty. I'm alternate #3 and have to serve for a yr once they get to me which the judge said they do throughout the yr. If you don't know what fedral Jury duty is you should google it. I didn't have a clue until I got the summons that there was a such thing. You have to serve 1 day a month for an entire yr and they randomly picked the names from a raffle after the few were excused for various reasons.

We had a blast at Disney, outlet shopping, Medieval Times (Kirsten too), and just hanging out. I have posted all the pics but you can find some of them on my Facebook page (link on right of blog). We ended up see almost ever character you could imagine and even saw the princesses and Ariel twice per Kirsten's request. Here's a few of my faves:

Life and Friday Freebie

What a week! For those that don't know I work from home as a telephonic nurse. Which means on Tuesday when my company rolled about a new phone system which we now know has quite a few kinks in it, it totally effected my ability to function! I have had to use way to many brain cells this week and have not been my normally low stress self. I am thankful that I work for an awesome company that is very support of any and all technological problems we encounter. Not to mention my co-workers and our online company chat rooms are the bomb with working through issues.

I am going to be a lot more ready for my vacation that I realized after next week since we will probably still be working out kinks then too.

Add to that the fact that my almost 4yr and totally toilet trained child suddenly decided there are more important things in life than taking the time to get to the potty. I taken away just about everything important beside allowing her to play with basic toys. Daddy threatened to put her in a diaper tonight. He found a very old one with side straps and all. I busted out laughing because for 1 I doubt it will fit. My child went to pull ups at 18 months because most diapers were getting too small for her. I am hoping this is yet another phase that she will go through very quickly!!!!

I'm so glad ya'll like the freebie frame from last week. I thought it was quite cute myself too. This week I created a 12 in layered border. This is the 1st time I've ever created one and I like the way it turned out.

Our Weekend and Future Plans

I throw my blog to the wade side esp since lot of my buds are Facebookers now. Now sure how many of our families/friends actually read the blog anyways and whether I am wasting my time. So if you read this and would like for me to post more family info on the blog them make sure to leave me a comment and let me know. I post lots on FB :)

We had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday we had a lazy day around it house. Saturday evening we went to a game night with three other families from the Tallahassee Babysitting Co-op I started 10/07 with a few other moms. We are still going strong and the co-op will turn 2 this October. On Sunday we woke up late yet again this weekend and missed church. I heard it was a good sermon too. Good thing our church puts the sermons online so I will still be able to see it. Kirsten of course asked her at least daily question of "where we going today". We had no plans yet so I asked her where she wanted to go and she said "to get some breakfast" So we headed for breakfast at Shoneys. After that it was home for a little newspaper reading and then I headed out to meet my Tally Mom Friends at Olive Garden for lunch. I ended up ordering dessert only because I was stuffed from breakfast still.

I'm on count down mode for our Disney trip. We haven't told Kirsten yet as she would ask us about it daily for the next month. I did ask her if she could go anywhere on vacation where would she go and her response was to "Wild Adventures". We haven't been in a few months so we have promised her a trip next weekend. I mentioned the places we had been on vacation including Disney and of course after that she said she wanted to go back.

I'm thrilled that another family with a kid the same age as Kirsten will be going on vacation with us so she will get to enjoy it with a friend. We are staying at the Shelton Vistana with 7 pools too!

I hope August flies by!

Happy Scrapping!

I blogged :)

I know bad bad blogger. But hey I did name my blog Live, Love, laugh and Scrap and I have been doing a lot of those 4 things!

I am on Facebook now too so if you are there and wanted recent photos and such be sure to add me. If only blogging was as simple and Facebooking. Here's my homepage: http://www.facebook.com/AmandaDawnRN

I can't believe in a few short months my baby girl will be 4. She is growing up so fast. We are still battling her with listening although she is doing better now that school is doing a green, yellow, red, and brown (I think they develop this one just for my child) system. And yes she did spend at least one afternoon that I am aware of on brown! I got a reward chart for home too.

I did have to alter it a little and make a few more specific tags to fit her day better but she loves it and it seems to be curbing her behavior.

We had a great 4th of July. We had a cookout at a friend's and then went to a fireworks show a few blocks from the house.

My job is still going well. Great pay, great benefits and I can wear my gym clothes (or nightgown) to work so there isn't much more I could ask for.

LOs and My Baby's Ballet Recital

This weekend is Kirsten very 1st ballet Recital. Even at 3 she is super excited. We had rehearsal last night and she did excellant. She wasn't even looking at the teacher so apparently she memorized what steps went with what part of the song. She acted like she was at home on the stage and Daddy said he has given up on trying to get her into soccer (he was hoping to pull her from ballet and switch to soccer). Here's a pic of her in her costume:

We did a video but I have to get Jake to cut it so I can upload it. I'll just wait until the real show!

I haven't gotten to scrap as much as usually lately. We have been through AC issues 9go them worked out and luckily didn't break the bank), spring cleaning, and getting ready for her recital. here's a few I squeezed out:

Collab by Brittish Designs and Suzi Q Scraps

Kit is Sunshine Day Collab by Christie Lemmon and Steel City Scraps. Template from CT Inspired: Hillary by Christie Lemmon. Alpha by Amber Gray Designs.

8 Freebie Templates

Just found out my favorite digital scrap site is closing. I was so bummed. If you haven't heard it is Digital Candy. Anyways on a happier note I am doing the Friday Freebie this week and I decided I'm going out with a bang. My Friday Freebie is not one but 8 templates!

Here's a LO I did with one of them:

Here's the kit I used:
Hope you enjoy them! Happy Scrapping and have an AWESOME weekend!

Update on us and some Scrapbook pages

Life is keeping me busy! We are in "ballet recital mode". Kirsten has her first recital 5/23. She has been doing really well listening at ballet (although not so well at home) the last few weeks so the recital is looking promising. I signed up to be stage mom. Not sure what all that entails, but no one else signed up. Per Jake I will be gathering the girls before they hit the stage, sitting in the front and gathering them as they leave the stage. Sounds like lots of fun esp if they all have as much energy as Kirsten.

Jake and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on Sunday. We went to Applebee's for a family lunch and had dessert. Kirsten was nice and was very well behaved there so I assume that was her gift to us.

I'm still doing digital scrapbooking like crazy and working at home for McKesson. Feeling like I need a vacation soon. We still need to schedule our next timeshare locations. We are thinking about a cruise for one of them and are looking into a Disney cruise.

I've gotten involve with a new playgroup so Kirsten is making new friends as am I. She just had her school pictures today and I'll be anxiously awaiting the results. She has always had bangs and we are letting her bangs grown out now since she wanted to. So I put her in pig tails and pinned her long bangs to the side.

Here's some recent pages. the 1st one was taken a few wks ago so you can see how long we are now able to pull her bangs back, thought they are barely long enough so they wonder out of the clip.

Check out my Digital Candy online gallery for more recent pages or to get the designer info for the ones I posted..
