Ear infection and life

Well, I have an inner ear infection. Go figure. I have been having sharp pain in my inner ear and neck for a week and I just kept putting it off. Well today I couldn't stand the pain any longer. So I went to the Dr. Yep...just as I figured.

Got some really really rotten news about my boss's family. All I feel comfortable saying is that there was loss of life due to fire to a family member of his. So, I am totally down in the dumps over this.

But, here's the highlight of my day!!! Our Parent Group raised $855 with the Chrysler Drive for the Kids Fundraiser. People had to fill out a questionare and drive a car around the parking lot and we earned $5 for each test drive. It was so great! There are always a few who have to complain about things but overall...I was very pleased with the turn out. Our teachers really rallied around us and helped us out too. The only bad part was that we sooo busy that I couldn't get away to attend Open House with my boys. But I know the teachers really well already and I am totally comfortable that the boys will be fine. And Daddy got to do it so they probably loved that anyways. I didn't get to see/hear what Will's teacher thought of her clipboard but Zander's was very happy. That made my day. This is going to be another great year, I can tell it!

I have been busy doing layouts but you can't see them yet! Big release coming this weekend folks. Be ready to tune in and see what the next big thing by Krystal Hartley is going to be! It's awesome as usually but ...oh wait... I can't tell you that part. Trust me, you won't want to miss the announcement.

Kristin Aagard-flowers, leaves, charm bracelet & Alpha

NOTE: I printed this one on photo quality paper. I did one with just standard computer paper and the color was bleeding badly. And with a white background paper it look horrid. So I Ripped off the first one and printed out this one on a thickher photo paper. Used Spray adhesive to stick it to clip board and covered with Matte ModPodge straight out of the bottle for this one. Last one I added a pinch of water to thin it out but I like it better non thinned.

New Krystal Hartley Freebie

Our very last family photo with Halli. I made the family do this so I could remember this cherished day forever. Still cry every time I think about it. Gosh I loved that dog...
So this bottom one is my new do. Went dark with Red Highlight. And super short. I love the cut but not too sure about the color. I will keep it for awhile but don't expect to see it on me for a long time. I tried it thats all that matters!

Adding some layouts

Hybrid Clipboard

I made my Hybrid Clipboard for the SSD off the page challenge. I made this for Zander's new teacher. The ModPodge caused some discoloration on a few things but it still looks good. Maybe I should have let it 'set' longer before doing it. I literally took it out of the printer and then went to work. hhmmmm....have to think about that one. Or maybe I should have used different paper? I just used printer paper. Ok, I probably messed this up now that I think about it but it still turned out great either way. I think she will like it. The wording on the back is our school moto. And I had throw in a little apple someplace.

Last Family Photo

We took one last photo of all us with Halli on Sunday. We did put her to rest this morning. You can see we are all smiling remembering what an awesome member of the family she was to us. Yes, my face is all red from crying but I still managed a smile for my Halli Girl. God Love Her.

Need prayers

The time has come to put my baby down. She has hurt her leg or back severely and we have made our decision that the time has come to do the right thing. She's 12 and does have cancer too. She has been doing great all along with the whole cancer issue but the back issue has us beat. I can't hardly see thru the tears right now. So please send prayers our way to help get thru this very diffucult time tomorrow. I am NOT going to take off work so I need the strength to be strong and focus on the great things she has brought into our lives. So with that, please help me wish HALLI Tosis the best in doggie heaven. And I do believe she will be waiting for me when I arrive at my final resting place as well. She's the best dog ever.

Busy busy day

I have spent most of today getting my Photobooks uploaded to print. I was informed that they had to be used up by the end of this month or I would lose them. So I have been feverishly rushing around today to try to complete things. I am down to just 3 plus 2 calendars. Doing good. I am going to just use the old photobook templates to up load a ton of photos and call it good. I can see the reason behind it but at the same time it stresses me out to have to complete nearly a dozen books in less than 3 weeks time. But then it will be totally over for me.

Call me crazy but I sent in a app. for another Template CT. You know me and templates. Wish me luck. Here's the layout I submitted. The kit is from Summer Simmons-Rock N Roll Rainbow.

I am doing a guest CT for Summer for a couple of months. I just love love love her papers. Many they are art in themselves. I have some printed and frames that hang in my bedroom. Not a layout, mind you, just the paper!

Here's another one using a Template by Sine and Summer Simmons-Aqua Chess kit.

Happy BIrthday Meredith (tomorrow!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!!

I won't be around tomorrow to send you your well wishes so I wanted to do it today! I hope you have the best day EVER. You are such a talented person. I am so blessed to call you my friend. I want you to know that we all adore you over at Krystal CT. I created this small token of love for you on behalf of all us. ENJOY!

Nascar Nut

Well, I signed up to win tickets to meet Kasey Kahne. The only bad part is you have to be 21 to attend. Zander will be heart broken if we win and he can't go. Josh & Z are going to the Nation Wide Series on Saturday. I just pray he gets a chance to meet is all time favorite driver...Jeff Gordon. #24~ He would just freak out, I'm sure! I think I might zip over to the track on Friday to see if we can just 'look' around. The things we do for our children...ok...fine...I'm a Nascar Nut too! Anywho...just had to share.

Now on the main reason you peek into by blog: Layouts!

I did this one for a challenge over at PlainDigitalWrapper. You had to use NON Masculine items to scrap a male figure. Uh...hello...I had to jump all over that one. I am the queen of flowers and pink on boy layouts! Credits: Template by Sine. Kristin Aagard Elements & papers. I adore that lady! She is so stinking talented and generous. MWAH!

On a personal note: had my physical today. They are going to do a heart monitoring machine to evaluate my irregular beats that I have been having/feeling. I'm sure it just stress...but you can't ever fool around with the heart. So I will keep you all posted. That will happen on the 19th. Followed by a trip to the hair salon the next day. Ahhh... I love having my hair done.

TOOT! LOTD at PDW!

How stinking funny is this! This is my new adventure. A job using templates, HUH?! Well, Helllloooo, this was soooo me! So I snagged me a little spot on this wacky team. I can use my Favorite Designers Stuff and templates at the same time. Talk about my dream job! I was born to do this CT team! The girls are so fun. But NOTHING will ever, and I mean EVER, compare to my Homies at Krystal's Krazy Krib. Those ladies there are my #1 always! But a girl can never have to many friends, can she?!

Sine is down in the corner in color. She sells over at http://www.scraporachard.com/. Come check her out and all the other cool things happening over there.
I am finding new homes all over the place. I am slowing finding my niche in the world since the bottom fell out of my other one...grrr....burn baby burn.

Ginger's Groove By AmySumrall

This is Amy Sumrall's newest kit. I loved the color of this paper. And the fact that it was named GINGER, I mean, how could I NOT use a picture of my Ginger Girl. I love this little dog almost as much as my children. Some days more! She is spoiled spoiled rotten. She has to have one foot touching you at all times when she is by you. She sleeps on my pillow above my head with another pillow propped up so doesn't fall between the headboard and mattress. She is 13 lbs of pure love. Her faults include that you can NOT talk to or be near another pet or child without her running up to you and 'butting' in on the action. She barks like a mad woman at the sweeper unless you have someone hold her while you sweep. She will not eat her heart worm pills unless you break them into tiny pieces. She HATES having the clippers used on her face. So the groomer has to hand cut her head area.
BUT....She loves to cuddle, go for walks, go for rides in the car (only if she can sit on the drives left leg), will lick you to death if you let her. I seriously love this dog, almost to death! She has her faults but don't we all! Her nickname is Sister. She will come to either name! I would get another Shih tzu in a second.

Fun in the Pool

My Nephew! How cute is this little man?!!
