Lazy Scrapper Tip #2
Ya know the xyron X....well, did ya know when you create your own sticker and after you pull it through BEFORE you take off that top plastic piece save yourself some trouble....take a pen and trace each letter/piece with a pen then pull off the clear plastic strip on top..... you're saying to yourself WHY... well when you trace it you fuse the adhesive around the pieces and you won't get those horrible (what I refer to as lil boogers LOL) gummy globs of adhesive, instead your pieces will have clean edges and they will peel off nicely.
There ya have it...tracing those letters is much easier than getting all those lile glops of adhesive all over the pieces you worked so hard to create :)
Look for more lazy scrapper tips from me :)

Leap Frog Anyone??

OK so I decided to try hand drawn, hand cut bears.... and I think they came out pretty cute!



I'm going to make one of these for a boy as well... I just love the bright colors in this one tho :)

So I'm trying to come up with some new and exciting things to scrap I'd love to get some ideas so if you'd like to shoot some ideas my way I'd Really appreciate it!

Ok so... I'm probably one of the laziest people around... I look for a shortcut with pretty much everything I do...scrapbooking is NO exception! I in no way skimp on the quality of a piece but if I can learn something to help me get something done faster, I'm ALL for that! SO I'm going to share some of my Lazy Tips with you! Look for fun, yet clever Lazy girl tips...remember I'm lazy tho so it may not be everyday :)

Lazy Scrapper tip #1

Ya know how your ribbon is all bent up and wrinkly? who wants to get the iron out... heck I don't even own an iron LOL that's what a dryer is for isn't it? or the steam from a hot shower....

Anyhow, what ya do is take your ribbon over to a hot lightbulb... holding a ribbon end in each hand...rub the ribbon back and forth against the hot lightbulb... the heat from the lightbulb will get the wrinkles out.

Where oh where !?!


Has my brain gone??? I bet the kids took it..they take everything.... and I bet its **SOMEWHERE*** in their toy box...uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh


I feel like I have NO **zero...zip** brain power today... Like the doors and windows are all open and all ya can hear is that eerie whistle... yep thats whats in my head... dead air and a whistle... anyhow so I go to the doctor today... and around here ya can't just go to the doctor... you have to..... pack up the kids with a million and 2 things to take to grandma & pop's (so they can watch them) which of course means they will be brats when they come back home ... so anyhow... load the kids.. load the car and drive 45 yes thats rite 45 minutes up there....(we've not yet found a sitter with enuff courage to brave Robby ) so anyhow drive the kids up to the inlaws.....drive back 30 minutes to my dr appt...so whats that 30 min to an hour of waiting and 5 minutes for my actual dr appt....ok then BACK in the car for 30 minutes to pick the kids up ....argue with the kids that they have to come home with me and then they cry and shout mean things like we don't want you we want gramma... it's better here than at home... and my favorite... WHY do I have to go home with YOU!...so after my lil "angels" yea right....are cryin and screamin all the way home... ***fighting over the goodie bags gramma and pop gave them on the way home... it's mine no it's mine.. give it to me.... MOMMY!!!!!*** (except for the last 5 minutes where they've conveniently fallen asleep...yanno how that goes)... for 45 minutes to an HOUR depending on traffic at that point then I get home and wake the darlings up you guessed it crying ans screamin again cause they've been awakened.... ok so you try to carry one kid that kicking and screamin while draggin the other behind ya with a mountain of junk loaded to u'r back so ya don't have to make 16 trips back and forth from the house and the car (cause yanno it's so far LOL) so u got the kids the bags of crap they took with them....plus the junk they hi-jacked from gramma and pop.... and u'r trying to unlock the front door... and you've been gone for what 3-4 hours by now..(yanno on a good day...to the dr)and holy poop the dogs act like ya been gone for 15 yrs... they r jumping and licking ya and woofin and .... kids r crying and screamin cause the dogs tail is slappin em around.....you FINALLY get in the house and sit down for 5 minutes to yourself and you guess it... hubby wants dinner.....Gee ya see now why I have stress and have that dr appt huh LOL

So... this is my day today.....see what I have to look forward to???? You're ALL jealous... I just know it!!! So, think of me and have a laugh or shed a tear.....just nice that you thought of me :)

Are bald patches sexy???

OK so it's Friday and your thinking THANK GOD it's Friday... I know ya are.....NOT me.....not THIS Friday... see this Friday is and will be one of the longest days of the year....both kids home from school ALL DAY LONG...it's just 9am now (probably 10 by the time I finish writing this thing)and I already have about 6 mini bald spots from ripping out my hair....I've declared this the crazy house already.... they've eated more lbs of food than they weigh already.... I've taken loads of tylenol from the migraine I have from banging my head on the wall (LOL)...I've played referee to about 5 rounds of wrestling and fighting with them, house has looked like a tornado came thru since 5 minutes after they woke up....... AHHH the joys of motherhood LOL

Anyhow.... you don't wanna hear me whine all day... heck I don't wanna hear me whine .....LOL so instead I'll just scrapbook.... :) I'll bbl

Word of the day:

Ahhhh Kids... gotta love em! These are lil words or phrases out of the mouthes of babes!

OK so my son as you probably know is autistic so speech has been killer for him over the past few yrs...he's just starting to get words together and form some mini sentences...anyhow occassionally (ok all the time) he comes up with his OWN version of a word.

The word of the day today is gorgeous... or as Robby says it "GEORGE-US" it's the cutest thing ever and he just keeps sayin it over and over... so go ahead... ya know ya wanna use that word now :)

More rambling of a crazy scrappin mommy later...
