T.G.I.F.

ITS FRIDAY!!!!! The beginning of Birthday weekend #2 for me! The rules state that if your Birthday falls on a Wednesday - both the weekend prior and AFTER are considered your "Birthday Weekend" LMAO! We didnt do anything TRULY significant last weekend...some ball, dinner, shopping with the kids (for the kids) so this weekend I want to do something FUN! Anyone who knows me will agree that I am A HUGE GHOST HUNTERS FAN on Sci Fi - and there are two Paranormal Investigative tours in St Augustine I've been dying to try. One after hours tour of the St Augustine Lighthouse and another EMF tour with a Parapsychologist. I am SO excited about either of these tours - I'll be sure and blog all of my photos of ORBS (dust) and Rods (camera movement)!!! HA HA HA

This is also the END of a somewhat SHORT week for me. I had the day off Wedensday for my Birthday and decided to spend it SCRAPPING!!! I grabbed some starbucks, headed to TCS and scrapped for a solid 7 hours. Afterward Manny & the kids met me for some dinner at Carabbas! YUM

I also did a little SHOPPING at TCS! The new Lime Rickey was in so in order to justify a purchase I committed to using up some of my BG stash. And here is the RESULT!

In Stitchz - yes I swore I'd never sew again but it was EARTH DAY and I was committed to scrapping my stash - so I spent some time and stitched this Bazzill cardstock and scrapped an ADORABLE photo of my Niece Carmyn. I LOVE LOVE this line of BG.



I love it so much I used it TWICE (well it is the only baby GIRL line of pp I own). I scrapped some more photos of my BIL/Niece and used up some old FP Chipboard.



I also busted out some BG Mellow in a page kit that I made over a YEAR AGO - these photos are from Thanksgiving 2007!!! So is this PAPER!!! I feel so relieved to have this paper OUT of my stash and these photos OUT of my procrastination pile. I paired it with some Hambly rub ons and overlays. And stickled to perfection.



Some NOT SO OLD Basic Grey was used to create this LO of my daughter. I titled it Spread Your Wings because its all I could think about when I cut/lifted the wings of the butterflies. LMAO! Since I couldnt get it out of my head I used it in my title. The Chipboard, Ric Rac & Ribbon border are old FP, and the flowers are old Prima w/ Prima centers & a couple American Crafts. My goal was to cover up the design on the Tshirt my daughter is wearing in the photo. It was very distracting.



Finally a quickie LO of Delia and our dog Spotti who turned 13 this year. The cool thing about having a black and white dog is that pretty much EVERYTHING matches - ha ha but the black in her shirt really dictated the color scheme of this LO. I really wanted to keep the chipboard plain for this LO so I stickled the edges in black and used the charms on the letters.
