OMG...you guys are gonna think I'm crazy BUT my love for SCALLOPS has reached the deep end I think {heehee} because I found a new LOVE...meet my new BOOTS from Ros Hommerson aren't they so cute?
They are super comfy I would totally recommend them :) and I'm just so in LOVE with the scallop detail on top. Its finished with a shinier leather on the edge of the scallop which makes it more noticeable.
ALSO I've been needing FLATS for my "ankle" length pants... thats what happens to shortys like me...I need to buy ankle length. (LOL) and they had a sale at Shoe Carnival so I got a few...I finally found the PERFECT shade of brown for all the pants and skirts I have. Every time I buy a pair of brown shoes its never quite the right shade so I'm so glad these finally MATCH!....and I couldn't resist the pink stripes either. I'm so ready for spring already geez!
Recently I've been doing some STAMP organizing {ill take a pic when it's all finished} BUT i found a stamp i totally forgot I had
{which happens a lot}
Its the Hero Arts Bold Floral so I made a card with it and i also used my new FAVORITE,
the Martha Stewart Scallop edge punch. I love how it punches and embosses I have a few of her punches and I was so HAPPY to find them on clearance at Michaels.
OH!!! and....I went to TARGET for my lunch break today and found a TON of things on clearance in the scrapbooking isle I managed to get some Autumn Leaves paper pack for 3 bucks!!!
All righty....I hope y'all have a GREAT evening.

GET togethers

I had a get together at my house on FRIDAY and it was so much FUN to see every one.
We had a Stampin 'Up Party and Jen did an awesome job with the cards she made.
I LOVE Stampin 'UP Sale-a-BRATION
I want the Scallop SET! Jen used it with the scallop PUNCH & I was in LOVE :)

I had the FLU all of last week, in fact I just went back to work on Wednesday and the party was Friday so I didn't have a voice. I haven't had a voice for 4 days. This has never happened to me before and its SOOOOOOOOOOO frustrating.

Its the Oscars tonight! My moms so excited. We're currently watching the Barbara Walters special can you believe theres a new Indiana Jones coming out? Man I cant wait!

Fr. CHA

Hello guys. I'm back from CHA. :) I got sick while I was in California and it got even worse in this cold CHICAGO weather. Every time I go to California I never wanna come back. San Diego's weather is ALWAYS PERFECT. I  got to see my BFF for a couple days. She was also sick. Her hubby took me to eat at my favorite place... RUBIOS they are  FAMOUS for their FISH TACOS. I could eat those things everyday {SERIOUSLY}

One of my FAVORITE Booths was Jenni Bowlin she had so many YUMMY goodies. I wanted EVERYTHING. She had these scallop labels and cute little tickets. OH Man....Cant wait to get some of her goodies.
I also got to FINALLY meet Maria Grace shes so sweet! I think shes my twin! :)

Fonts

So every where I look I've been seeing this font used right?! in magazines,projects,online...EVERYWHERE!
It's called "susies hand" so I look for it online and supposedly theres this HUGE controversy about it through 2peas so I cant find the actual download so I gave up the search.
I started playing with my Quickutz Silhouette  just NOW after 3 months of having it catch DUST.
I knew I came across a Silhouette thread recently on 2peas and theres was a link for GSP font files for FREE so I look and guess what I find? YUPPERS... susie's hand. It was like I won a PRIZE! LOL
So I'm sharing the LINK with you. Visit: HERE they have a TON of other cool FONTS also.

before it gets too crazy

Im posting :)
Lots of Superbowl action today. I don't really care for it. I don't even know who's playing LOL
First thing this morning my dad already requests for me to make my famous artichoke dip {its seriously the only thing i know how to make} heehee! so I have to run to the groceries {my next most hated thing to do besides laundry} to get some ingredients.
Thankfully the snows all melted away...Friday morning I woke up to a snow filled neighborhood! I couldn't even back out my driveway...so I was late for work cuz I had to shovel...my mother took a pic of me for proof cuz I NEVER shovel. But it was THAT bad that I had to shovel just so I could get out.
The night before while all the snow was falling I managed to get up to the Container Store to catch their ELFA sale. I walked in and the lady didn't even say hi she said "wow your brave!" LOL luckily I only work 5 minutes away even though that evening it took me 15 minutes to get there. SOOOOoooo what did I need the ELFA for? I was building this for the SCRAP room. I still have A LOT of organizing to do but I had to make sure the paper holders fit properly. I'm planning to organize them by COLOR. {If anyone has tips for organization I TOTALLY welcome it} GOODNESS I have such a long "To-Do" list when I look it I just *sigh* :)
Last night we went to Sahrie's house owner of Scrapbukan for a  scrap get together.
She invited Joy to come so I finally got to meet her. Oh and I also met Marj  who's only been scrapbooking for 9 months & she's made more layouts than Ive ever made in like 2 years. LOL. Sahrie's planning a get together every month and I'm super excited! it was so much fun last night. We made a couple cards this was one of them from the new Making Memories Valentine stuff. Also Sahries got the NEW Basic Grey 2 Scoops line in stock and she hooked me up! Ill have to make you guys some goodies with that! OK im off...
