New Orleans 2008!!!

Just a few pics of my time in New Orleans 2008!!
What a FUN filled trip!! I really enjoyed myself there!!
I was not expecting there to be SO much to see n' do!! But it is just
A LOT to take in!! Needless to say...I CANNOT wait to go back!!

The weather was PERFECT!! The sites were AMAZING!! From the
historic buildings, which were in every direction you turned & all so
unique; on to the performers in Pedestrian Mall ( a couple you see I
posted) to the WONDERFUL & I mean WONDERFUL food!! I tried
crawfish and chargrilled oysters - pretty good stuff!! Plus, the fun
I had with an old friend and some new ones too!!! (There was a
total of 19 of us!!)

This place was COMPLETELY up my alley! It has everything that I
enjoy & love...fun, great attitude, history, beauty, and so on. I truly
want to go back and cannot wait to plan my next visit there.

New Orleans Here I Come!!!!!

The week has finally arrived when I leave for New Orleans!!! YEAH!!!!!
I am excited & have to get everything ready, but I cannot wait!!

It should be a GREAT time & I am looking forward to taking in as many
of the sites and possible!!

A girlfriend and I are having lunch at NOLA - Emeril's restaraunt!! BAM!
That should be fun to try his cuisine.
Speaking of food, there will be so much to try...everyone has been telling
me names of places to go, most of which I cannot recall. ;)

Wish me lots of luck & loads of FUN!!!!!! NOLA or BUST!!

Happy Easter --- Peeps Dont Play with Fire!!

What Happens When You Get Rain In S. TX

Okay, God has to have a sense of humor. And I think this proves it.
We have not had rain in over 6 mths. So a storm comes thru on Thursday...well, we got our rain, but it was "MUD RAIN"!!! LOL!!!
It literally rained drops of MUD!! Can you believe that! How CRAZY!! So, you cannot tell me that Mother Nature doesn't like to have fun at our expense occasionally. :)

It was a dust storm from Mexico that combined with the rainstorm to produce this result - MUD RAIN! Gee....aren't we lucky!
So you can JUST about imagine the LINES at all the car washes!! And then of course, as you can see how the sun was shining the next day & how beautiful it was. Gotta Love it!

Has it been that long??

I didn't realize til tonight how long its been since my last post! WOW!
So I figured I had better put something up.

I have a new project that I started on Friday. Actually, its something that I have wanted to do for a long time & just now started it. Its a Sister themed album. It will be a surprise but I can post it here since neither of my sisters check out my blog! LOL!

It came together so well last week. I am getting excited to start putting it all together. Right now, no real pages to post, since I did all & I mean ALL of my cutting. 87 lil' black 4x6's and 87 lil' green background 4x6's!!! I started to stamp on Monday night & finished those 87 pages.
Since you know I am all about finding a deal...the albums are actually 4x6 wire bound photo albums that I found at Target on clearance. 3 for $6.50!! Now that is a bargain!!! I JUST HAD to have them!

I am hoping to get something a little more put together this weekend.
It will be their Mother's Day gifts this year. I cannot wait to see how they turn out!!

Note: You will hear me mention 87 pages alot!! :)

Best $1 I Ever Spent.....Look...

What and WHY more importantly is this important you may ask? They are coasters so what? Big deal?Yes , it is a BIG DEAL!! Because look at the cute little scrapbook I made:

That is how much I made in store credit at the scrap sale I participated in at my LS!!!!
WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!
Watch out here I come!!! YES!!!!!!
I cannot wait to get stuff!! But one stipulation....I am going to start buying supplies, embells, etc... AS needed for the project d'jour!!!
No more of this "oh, I know I will use it!!" "but I just HAVE to have it!!!!!"
That made my Sunday!! :)

Where Have I Been???!!

Yes, it has been a LONG time since my last post. Almost 2 weeks.
Well, at this point the 31 days of organization/inspiration has ended - hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. I am kinda surprised I lasted as long as I did!! hehehe!!

Been busy preparing my stuff for the scrapbook sale at my LS. It was today so bright n' early I went to drop my stuff off to be sold to a new loving scrapper who will hopefully use the stuff I paid full price for and now am willing to go for fifty cents! YIKES!! LOL!!
I hope that I did well....that way I can use my credit to get new stuff!! yeyeyeyeyesssssssss!!

I went on Wednesday to see Michael Buble in concert!! OMG!! That was such a FANTASTIC show!! I knew it would be good but it completely blew me away! Definitely up there with my top concerts!! If you ever get the chance to see him do so...even your man will thank you at the end of the night for dragging him there!! ;)

Hope all of you have a great weekend!!
