Just Back

....... after a  little blog break thanks to that  BIG BLOGGER BLIP 

........after having to work an extra day last week which really crunched my time - I hate going off schedule.

........after managing to destroy the headlight and  entire driver's side front quarter of my Envoy by having a collision with the side of the garage.  I know - go figure.  I crashed into the garage.  I still don't know how that happened, but lesson learned.

......after having agreed to have a private little book club with my favorite niece and having to read  the first two books of Sara Shepard's Pretty Little Liar series.  Oh my!!  There are eight of them!!!!  Thankfully, I've  been given a three day break before beginning book three.

......after a chinese lunch with one friend, an italian dinner with another, and breakfast with mom and dad.

      Yep, sometimes things just get hectic and time doesn't allow me any creative time.  But, I got my  June Magpie Kit in the mail today and IT IS THE BOMB!!!!!!!!    So tomorrow, its off to yoga in the morning and then I'm locking myself in my room for some peace and creating - no reading, no working, no car crashing, no out to eats - just peace and creating.  Look for some peeks really soon.

Until then, a couple of cards created with May's Magpie Kit.

Just A Sudden Road Trip

So, I got up Friday morning, full of energy, and ready to take on nothing but playing with paper and glue for NSD.  Then, just after I settled down in my room, the big guy said, hey, lets go to MGM Grand for the weekend.  It took just a teeny bit of convincing - we threw some things in a bag and were gone within the hour.  I was bummed to miss all the fun happenings at Studio Calico, but.................. we had a blast.  








Love me those red velvet cupcakes



polka dot black forest cake




a room with a view - 26 floors up





and you must try this luxury bowling thing




LOVED this wall paper at the bowling alley



We indulged way too much!!!!!  I just can't resist room service .



I'm off to yoga now, and when I get home, I'm going to have my own NSD!   I took lots of photos, so I'm thinking mini book.  The big guy is working today, so I know I won't have any sidetrips!!

Just Happy National Scrapbook Day

Popping on to wish everyone a fun-filled NSD!  Create, play and enjoy your snacks!  I'm otherwise engaged - away from my scraproom - but am looking forward to diving into some paper and glue tomorrow!

Until then, how about misting a frame for your photos,






And I know I keep repeating myself, but I hope you have checked out the May Magpie kit - its just full of yummy, scrappy goodness  The layout above is yet another made from it, and seriously, I didn't add anything much from my stash on any of them.

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.
