Timeout

Today was...stressful...and....frustrating. I was trying to clean and the kids were just going bonkers. They were crying and being fussy..and for a moment I was hating hearing the word Mommy. ((GASP)) That sounds so horrible to say, and as I'm writing this I'm thinking how awful to even think such a thing...but honestly...for a moment that's how I felt. I vented a little with a close friend and felt better,,,I also took a timeout and just breathed. Slowly, in and out. I've come to realize that I'm not and will never be Superwoman, and that's okay. My house won't always be spic and span. There will always be dishes to wash, laundry to do, meals to cook. It's the emphasis you put on things. The number on my priority list. I think I've given more importance to those things than the ones that truly do matter. 5 years from now, I won't remember if all the laundry was done today, but I will remember that Jace hurt his ankle while wrestling with his cousins. They're my priority. So, I may not be the best Mommy in the world but to them I am, and that's what matters. I just have to remember to breathe and enjoy all the little things...'cause time flies and onee day I'll miss hearing,"Mommy!" Peace out, guys. Love Always.

Cards..cards..cards....

I've been making cards like crazy. I still have about 5 more left to take pics of. As you can see, I'm loving apples lately, lol. I also need to get a present ready for my SIL. She's having her baby Wed. and I need to get a gift to take to the hospital. I'll work on that tomorrow, though. I've gotten back into submitting, and I hadn't submitted anything in over a year..I think. Hopefully, I'll get some stuff picked up, lol. Well, it's late and I gotta get to bad. See ya. Night.

Cotton Candy...YUM!!

So, I ordered the Cotton Candy kit from Noel Mignon and have created maybe 8 or layouts so far and still have tons left! I love it! Here's some layouts I've made with it.

My Craftroom

Been feeling crappy...AGAIN. Had to go to the ER yesterday to get some breathing treatments and steroids. I feel a little better now, though, now that I can breathe, lol. I just took these pics last week or so and I've already changed some stuff in my room, but I'll post the changes later. Today, I just wanna lay down and relax as much as possible which isn't very much with 3 kids running around. But, I'll take what I can get. Talk later with some new layouts to share. Much Love.

Shay

I've been scrapping, but I just don't like scanning and resizing, lol. I now have a stack of layouts on my table..just waiting for some albums I ordered to come in so I can get them stored. I finished my scraproom, for now anyway. I'll post pics tomorrow. Gotta go mail some things off. Talk to you later.

Cute storage box thingies

I've been organizing my craftroom, and I spruced up these lil' boxes to store some stuff. They're not going to be squished up there in that top shelf. I just put them there for now while I organize the other shelves, lol. Here's a layout of Cy's first haircut using some yummy Basic Grey cupcake and some good 'ol Heidi Swapp alpha. Hopefully, my room will be done by this weekend. I'll post some pics then. Now, lwt me go make these kids some dinner. Peace.

Where have I been????

I've been here.....wobbling around....with no mojo.....exhausted. But I've been feeling better, got my scraproom organized and have been scrapping..YAY!! Elyse had 2layouts done since she was born and I still haven't finished her baby album, lol, but hopefully it'll be done before the new addition comes. I'm not sewing....I no longer have a sewing machine....it was dying.....so now I need a new one. Not now, though, maybe after I catch up a bit on my scrapping, heehee. So, here's some layouts I've done with my recent purchases. Love that I can scrap in pink, now!!! Yiipppeeee!! I'll post soon with some things I'm working on for storage. Peace.
