its gettin PREHISTORIC in here!

little miss chloe had a 2nd grade project this weekend...

construct a DINOSAUR out of household objects...

easy enough... right???

maybe for some.. but i was sweatin it..

wondering how we were gonna throw this thing together

and make it turn out decent...

i mean.. scrapbooking/stamping.. yes i can do that...easy peasy...

but a creative dinosaur out of nothing... hmm..

more of a challenge for me...

thank goodness for DADDY. (who made an awesome head!)

and KYLE (who did the legs).

with their help..

i think this TRICERATOPS

turned out pretty sweet!

(and its a GIRLY one if you couldn't tell.. )

have a great TUESDAY!

Spanky's Turn...

Next FRIEND layout...

and its all about
SUSAN!!

Once again... the list of things

I love about this girl could go on all day...

she is SO much FUN.

When we are together

there is bound to be a lot of laughing...

acting silly... joking around &

GOOD TIMES.

The quote reads...

'What is a friend?

I will tell you.

It is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.'

-Frank Crane

This quote is perfect for describing our friendship.

We know each other so well,

we can pretty much say and do anything and know

that we are always gonna be

FRIENDS.

It's the BEST.

Here's To My FRIENDS.

today i was working on a scrapbook layout..

i got it all put together

and didn't really like the results,

so i ripped it apart and started over.

the theme of the layout was based

around one of my friends..

and the things that i love about her...

of course i started thinking about all my

FRIENDS..

and how thankful i am for each and every one.

and how i appreciate all their differences

and the ways in which they each bring

something meaningful and special into my life.

i decided i should make a scrapbook and

dedicate one page to each person that i call a

FRIEND.

my plan is to share them as i get them done..

but there will be no time limit..

it could be fairly random as to when

the next one will pop up.

here goes... numero uno.. in PINK is all about

ANGELA.

the quote reads..

'FRIENDSHIP ISN'T A BIG THING...

ITS A MILLION LITTLE THINGS'

and this is SO true about Angela and I..

when I started listing the things I love about her..

(and i was going to keep it to 10 things..)

it went on and on way beyond 10... :)

THANKS Ang for your friendship. I love you girl!!

THE GIRLIES at Nikki's black & white BACHELORETTE PARTY

Here is the resulting chaos of my creativity.

This is how I really scrapbook. In the middle of a mess.

I make a gigantic disaster when I get an idea that can't wait...

then I clean it all up.. put it all away...sort and organize...then..

usually another idea hits and the process begins again!! :)
