Lucky

The new challenge from Scrap that Baby is up and ready. The challenge (in honor of St Patty's day is " IM LUCKY TO BE YOUR MOMMY" (and you get bonus points if you use a bit of green)  My design team REALLY rocked this challenge.... and many of the new girls played along too.

The prize is a $20 gift card from the fabulous store Ally Scraps. I love this store! She carries a ton of popular brands, has frequent sales and shipping is very reasonable. I designed for Ally Scraps back in 2007 (i think) and it was a ton of fun! You should LIKE Allyscraps on facebook for sales notices and all that jazz

I actually did 2 layouts for this challenge. This one I did some time ago for the challenge and forgot I did it. I found it the other day while going through my computer. Its a little funky and fun but the journaling is on the back

Stop by the blog to see what the design team did... and submit your entry for your chance to win.

loooong weekend!

We had a pretty fun weekend but boy am I spent!

We started early Saturday pulling the boat out of storage, cleaning it and doing all the routine maintenance. Saturday night was spent having cocktails and pizza while hanging out with my sister in law and my nieces.

Sunday morning Matt hauled the boat up to the lake and put it in while I made food to take to my brothers. Sunday evening was spent at a big bbq at my brothers eating and drinking watching kids running around and then a BIG bonfire after most the kiddos had gone home or to bed (except for my Aubrey... she runs with the big dogs)

Monday was supposed to be spent on the boat.

We got up early (for us) Got ready, ran to target for an infant life jacket and sped towards the lake. Unfortunately the weather had other plans. It was thunderstorming by noon and boating was done for the day. We stopped and got burgers to see if it would pass quickly but ended up heading home with a cranky baby. After a nap (all 3 of us) I managed to get my scrap on while putiing a dent in the huge stack of laundry that had piled up thanks to a weekend away. I finished my layout for Scrap that baby! just in time, Check it out! New prompt is up!

Now its off to bed with my sleepy head before I can no longer resist the urge to go eat the bowl if ice cream that is calling my name

Behind....

Teething is HELL

One minute my daughter is happy and giggling while crawling all over the living room floor. The next she is crying and clingy and wont let me put her down. I know her poor teethies hurt. Im SO glad that she will not remember this. The Hyland's teething tablets help a lot especially since I cant really orajel her before its time to breastfeed and we have spent the last 2 feedings crying at the boob due to mouth pain. After the tablets she can eat at least and finally fall asleep.

She took a really long nap today on my lap. I tried to lay her down 3 times but she woke up so I just snuggled her against me and watched The Hangover on HBO. How she slept through me laughing my a$$ off I will never know. Ive seen it 3 times and it never ceases to make me crack the heck up!

I am however behind on EVERYTHING today because all Ive done is hold Aubrey. Scrap that Baby went up late today. I am supposedly washing the sheets and comforters today (but the sheets are sitting in the washer because the comforter is taking forever to dry)  Its 9 pm and I havent started dinner yet (but at least my husband isnt home from work yet)  nor have I completed my meal plan and shopping list for next week. Im tired and Im starting to get a migraine. It is just NOT my day.

Not to mention I really want to scrap and I cant. I did get some done on tuesday. Here is the latest for Scrap that Baby. It's Aubrey at 11 weeks old playing PS3 with Daddy. I cant believe she had that much HAIR!

I *heart* the library and STB!

 I posted the NEW Scrap that Baby prompt yesterday! You must stop by and check out what my awesome design team did with it! It's all about the baby's NAME! Here is my design team creation.....

Guttergirlz also posted its super special secret prompt today. I wasnt able to do this prompt but it is SUPER awesome! Stop by and check it out!

Today I stopped by the library. I used to love to go to the library. There was just something about the millions of books and all the things I could learn and discover. As a kid it was a cool place to explore and get new books. In middle school it was a place to go make out with your boyfriend. In high school I would sit with stacks of books for research papers. (that was before you could get unlimited research on the internet) ..... And of course in college I used to go hide among the stacks and study. (I went to Penn State and we had one of the largest depository libraries around)

Lately the only thing Ive done at the library is vote. I didnt even have a library card to the one closest to my house and Ive lived in this area for 5 years.  How sad is that?

So after Aubrey's Dr's appt today (6 month shots) I decided to take her downtown and explore the library. Our local library isnt very large but we still found lots of interesting books to check out. We came home with 8. A couple Amelia Bedelias and Curious Georges for Miss Aubrey, A Jamie Oliver cookbook, a book on organizing and Harry Potter for Mommy. I wanted the first Sookie Stackhouse book (since Im addicted to True Blood) but it was already checked out.

All in all it was a good trip despite the fact that Aubrey decided it was time to talk and babble delightfully at all the cool things to see in the middle of the reading room. A fact that nobody but her mommy found delightful, so we had to excuse ourselves and go hide out in reference (where nobody was studying)

I also got to scrap with my mom this week. Here is 1 of the layouts I managed to finish

Happy Friday all!!
