My Minds Eye

WOOOOHOOOO i won the Treasury of Memories contest for My Minds Eye!! i'm so excited i don't think i've ever won anything so big before. i have a huge doofy smile right now. anyways i just wanted to let someone know! National Scrapbooking day here i come!

A Three-er

This is like the blog feast and with feast, comes famine, which i'm sure is upon us. geeze louise. i think this is like my 3rd day in a row... well here is a breath of fresh air...3 pictures on a page! woohoooo. not much else on the page but still 3 pictures!! and on the left side there, that's a little taste of my next page i will be posting. that one is a "One-er" too. that's what i'm calling my pages with one picture. FYI.

Pink Paislee+One Photo=My New Obsession

I am on a blog roll. i'm amazing at this. .... maybe not so much. well here is another Miss Mary page.
i've decided i am in my "one photo period" like picasso's blue period (or something like that..?) lately i don't have many pictures to scrapbook. i usually have like 3 or 4 pictures on each page but lately i've been doing just one picture. it's expensive to do it this way. i guess i'm just using my favorite pictures so i'm ok with it. it's just not what i usually do. to figure out something to do on a 12x12 piece of paper with one picture is hard for me.
anyways the paper i used was the pink paislee office lingo line again. i guess for NSD this saturday i'll have to stock up on this line, once again.

p.s. i also have to figure out another way to get these pics. uploaded onto the computer. taking a picture makes it glare and the scanner isn't big enough...boooo

Steve & Miss Mary.

I have been hitting the scrapbooking lately. here is one of the couple pages i've done. i'm going to restrain myself and not post all the pages at once becuase otherwise i won't post for a long time again.
this page i did using the new Pink Paislee line which i LOVE. i bought a bunch of it this weekend. the picture is from the 4th of July in 2003. it's a picture that i won something at the fair. i was 15 when i took the picture. i think i won like $10. once again the main subject is Miss Mary. i love taking her picture back when she was this age, and now.

What a DIVA

i am an amazing sister....really amazing. sometimes i can't even believe how generous i am to my brothers. for instance, last weekend i took some more of my brother ty's senior pictures. we went down to fairhaven and walked along the train tracks, stood by big beams and sat on logs. all of this traipsing around for over an hour and my favorite picture ended up being one sitting in the car waiting for shelley. without any prompting from me, ty got out my sunglasses, took my necklace off my mirror and put both items on and leaned back. well i couldn't pass this up so i grabed my camera before he realized it and took a bunch of pictures.


then since i am such an amazing sister i went above and beyond my duties and made him a digital scrapbook page. i know, i am too generous.


haha he would probably poke my eyes out if he saw this.

here are some of the other senior pics we took that day (then i, being super, photoshopped them, just going above and beyond as usual):

The WINNER!

So just to start, seriously jason from survivor is an idiot. i hate those 4 girls....seriously. gosh. well now that that's out, here is the process i used to pick the winner...first i wrote all the names on a piece of paper...

next i cut them all up and folded them and put them in a yellow bowl...

then i had to get someone unbiased/someone who doesn't care pick a name.

and....dun dun dun, the WINNER:


JUDY! you are now the proud owner of some scrapbooking goodies! yay for my first blog candy winner!!
this might be addicting so you should all watch out. thanks everyone for entering.

Winner Selection TONIGHT. Dum dum dum

The winner of the blog "candy" will be chosen tonight before (or maybe after) Survivor. woot woot. so that would be 8 or 9pm Pacific time. so you can still enter on the previous post until then. or i guess you could enter on this post if you wanted. either way. poor poor ozzy. :( should have used his idol. he got toooooo cocky just like james last year. oh well.

50th POSTTTTT

alright so i've put this off long enough. here is my 50th post. since i wanted to have a project to include with this post, here is a ticket stub book i made for my dad. i put it in one of those boxes you can get for $1.00 at michaels. and i used the rockstar paper pack. my next big project is doing a book for my brother ty's band.

i used chipboard to make the little dividers and to help preserve the tickets i put them into little clear envelopes.

next i wanted to post about my favorite place to shop, Treasury of Memories. there are a couple things, first, they are having a National Scrapbooking Day celebration. they always have lots of good deals and fun things to do. it's just a fun day. The next thing is...i am on their blog! well not me but a mini book i made... click ---> Here <--- to see my project. woot woot.

and finally here is how to enter my giveaway for my 50th POST!

just leave a comment telling about your favorite....ummmm how about your favorite hobby? is that lame? i just sat down and started typing and hadn't really thought about what to make the comment about. so how about you just say whatever you want to say. ANYTHING it could be about your favorite trip, or your favorite brand of grout or your biggest pet peeve? i don't know, it's up to you what you leave a comment about.

SO go forth and leave comments! i will pick the winner sometime in the next 2 days. i'll draw it out of a hat. good luck!

Post #49

get ready...the very next post is the one you want to look at. fornizz. i haven't posted a lot this week b/c i committed to this 50th post blog candy thing and to be completly honest, i had no idea what i was going to give away. so now that i have a little better of an idea here is my 49th post.

before i get to the "meat" of this post, here is a little somethingsomething sam and i...mostly i, did this morning. i guess my mom helped a little too.....

this is a bloody, freaking, stupid stump of a tree that we ripped from the dirty, dirty ground. let me tell you what, all those little baby stumps that dug their way all around the main stump made this almost impossible. but we did most of it using our bear hands. it was a lot of work but i made a deal with my dad that he would give me $40 if i got it out of the ground (he obviously had doubts i could do it, he said it would take all day..pishaaaaa) so i get $30 and sam gets $10 and a free popcorn coupon (haha). and i just bought photoshop elements 6.0 (since i'm too cheap to buy CS3) with some of that hard, sweaty, achy earned money ....BTW, this is a disgusting picture and should not be looked at closely. seriously. eww. what am i thinking? remember i was out there pulling on this stupid stump for an hour and a half.

so onto more important things

last night my friends came over and we had a "scrap-a-thon" slash we scrapbooked for about 6 hours. here is the one sole page i managed to get done. i tried and tried to work on other projects and so i got other things partly done but not completed.

here is another page i got started, obviously it's not done yet... soon. maybe.

and finally here is some of the "blog candy" it's nothing too exciting. it's two minibooks, 2 little clipboard things, an already made "cherish" envelope mini book and my personal favorite, a stamp set that says, "you light up my life" with a guy who has a lampshade on his head....there may be a couple extra things i throw in at the last minute but so far here it is.

so watch out for my next post to see how you can win this AMAZING (??) prize.

50th Post

I think it's time....time for American Idol and a blog contest/giveaway thing. (seriously i was kidding about american idol...really kidding) so i've almost posted 50 posts, after this post i will be at 48 so two more posts and i will have some sort of contest and give something away. just today i was thinking about doing a giveaway because everyone else does it. maybe it'll give me some karma to win myself sometime. my reasons i guess are selfish...bwhahaha, or not. i have no idea what the prize will be yet but hopefully it will be good. i think instead of just just leaving comments i will have some sort of contest, but i'm not sure of that yet either. maybe comments will just be the easiest. well...

to make a LOOOONNGGG and confusing post shorter, watch out for the next couple days, i have no idea when the 50th post will even be. i'm new at this ok. but know, you will want a piece of this blog candy pie....maybe. i guess it depends on what i get for the prizes! i like to keep people guessing.
