~Monday winner ...ohhhh Happy Monday!~

Back to the real world and back to our regularly scheduled program! HA!

This weekend our TV (of 4 years I think?)
Blew out, yes it took a big fat dive!
Did you know they do not sell big heavy tube TV's anymore?
What a shocker!
I thought "hey for 100 or 200.00 we can pick up an older model cheapo TV"
No way man, it is all HD or DVI or 720P
I felt so old researching and buying a new TV!

I made this LO for DREAMGIRLS challenge Blog
If you have not checked out their challenges, YOU SHOULD!!

I also made this LO because it is so hard to explain to people
why abuse is so relevant even as I stand at 34 years old.
Why it affects me and why the chain of abuse is so hard
to break. How it affects me as a mother and an adult.

Even if I am healing or healed,
it still affects my thoughts and actions every single day.

OHH and for the winner of my RAK

~My altered house (mini album)!! & RAK!

I have been working on this one for a while now.
This is a My Little Shoebox Project (ok it's not all MLS) but it is
all their papers and such!
And guess what?
MLS said they want to put it on their blog too!
I am super stoked about that!
Oh and guess what else?
This is a KIT I designed for Shaker Box soooo
if you want one, you can BUY it too!
It will be available tomorrow night at midnight
and when it sells out (if it does) it is GONE!
24.99 for the entire kit!

It has the most adorable Mini Album inside
and I made one side to hang on the wall.
And the other side to add pictures.

Also I did step my step instructions for the house and decorating it all!

Now, when it hits the the My Little ShoeBox blog, here is theRAK part!
I have some MLS tiny Alphas to give away!!!!!!
All you will have to do is go comment on the MLS blog and tell them PINKY sent ya!
I will be announcing the RAK day when it comes out!

I am so excited! My Little Shoebox responded on the same day!
I am so proud and shocked they were so happy with it!
I love MLS it took me months to find the papers!
I will update when MLS posts it on their blog!
Wish me luck for their DT too.
I applied when the call came out. I really REALLY want it!

~Kit 1 Reveals for Treasured Scrapbooking~

Have I mentioned how much I love the Treasured Scrapbooking Kit this month?
OMG! I love it!, I was so inspired

This LO is of Gage writing little LOVE notes to everyone.

This picture is of Karen, Aymee, and I at my house before the
Gatlinburg Trip.

Well, it is raining and storming here!
So I am off to clean!

~Never been to a Ren...haha

Ren as in Renaissance Festival that is.
Ever since the first month we moved here,
we had wondered what this huge castle was near Franklin, TN.
Well, hubby came home lastnight telling me about the brochures
he printed for the Ren Festival that is held at that very Castle!
So I checked it out online at www.tnrenfest.comHoly cow looks at those prices! 18.00 per adult!~
I told him, "It looks like a hoot and I would love to go...BUT 18.00 per person? Plus other costs? no thanks honey too much for our small budget, specially just having guests and that trip, and having your parents coming into town in 4 weeks. Sorry dear."

Well, long story short, he got 2 FREE tickets today!
From his printing job WOOHOO!

Do you think they will call me a witch?? LOL
Or cast stones at me?? hehehe

~Have a lovely day~
Thanks for coming by
~Pinky~

~Hump Day again? Where did the week go?~

OK, Ok don't shoot me. I have been MIA this week,

but hubby has been working from
6 or 7am every day until 9:30 or 10:30pm!
So, I have been super busy.

Plus I wanted to get all my DT work done early.

SOOO....guess who is having a National Scrapbook Day CROP?
TALLY SCRAPPER that is who!
I was in charge of the digi challenge.
Now be easy on me, I am not a digi scrapper.
But I was happy with the way it turned out.
My challenge was to SCRAP THE SCRAP
Scrap about why you like to scrap or Craft.

I have a friend who is trying to raise money for her doggy.
HERE If you want to help here is the addy.

And here is a sneaky peek into what I did for
ScrapFreak in May as their Guest DT!

Between flying kites, playing at the park, and badminton...
I did manage to scrap some.
BUT I can only show sneak peeks
because it was all DT work!

These are Sneak peeks for the #1 kit at Treasured Scrapbooking for May!
Oh man I love every little morsel of it too!

I ended up doing 3 pages already.

~Super-licious Saturday~

Good morning sweet blog viewers!
I am very excited about being the GUEST DT at the Shaker Box next month!
Wait until you see what the Kit I picked out is??
I never have really plugged the Shaker Box yet.
But let me just say, if you are looking for a small,
kind, nice little forum with a cute store.
Then you NEED to check out the Shaker Box!
Tell them Pinky sent ya!

Let me tell you that the Guest DT altered kit next month,
is simply FABULOUS!

This is my other Survivor Team LO.
I love taking drives in the country and exploring old buildings.
As the boys get older we plan on exploring haunted places/buildings.
And only taking pictures of course (leaving everything as found)
But for now, I happily settle for country drives and photography.

OK off to spend the day with my family
~Have a beautiful day~

~Meaningful Thursday~

This is a sweet girl (Stephanie) I met in a crop, come to find out
she had been following my work online and
decided to share her story with me.
It is the first person who had reached out to me in person from my scrap pages.
Such an honor to meet her for sure.
Just another perk of scrapbooking.

It is so beautiful today
The "mosquito hawks" are mating LOL
~Hope you have an amazing day~
~Pinky~

~Wickedly Wacky Wednesday~

Still "udderly" blown away by the Purple Cows DT Spot!~
Cannot wait to be a part of the "Moo Crew"
I may need to find me a purple cowgirl hat! hehe

This is another one of my Survivor LO's I did with the Tally Kit this month.
I love how this kit had so many die cut papers in it!
When Rebecca sent the boys these cool Flame Scissors, of course I had
to have them pose because they were so excited to have them!

I am finally half unpacked and today looks like a scrappy day to me!
Are you scrapping?
~Have a beautiful Hump Day~

~Tempting and delicious Tuesday~

It is GOOD to be home. hubby babied me last night and tended to me being sick.
He brought me hot tea and honey, and rubbed my back.
I am so relieved to be HOME!!!!!!
Now I can focus on resting and getting well.
He even let me scrap last night with no complaints! HOORAY for hubby.

To be honest I am sick of scrapping myself...
BUT I am in the Survivor Contest at Tally,
so i dug out and older picture of myself and scrapped it.
The challenge was to scrap yourself and 5 positive qualities.

I used the Tally Scrappers April kit and I LOVE LOVE IT!
Super fun kit! this is my first design as a DT member
You have to check out Tally Scrappers!!

Thanks for all your well wishes and support!
I love my fellow scrappers!
