i am still alive!

hey all,
i have been super sick from all the new meds they put me on for my lyme disease so i have been MIA but in that time i have managed to finally finish a kit. its a cute christmas kit with a great retro feel. its called Spiffy Christmas and it is available in my Busyscrappin store and my kjoistudios store for 2 bucks. i will get it up in kjoistudios soon but it is taking a very long time to upload it and i think it wont get done today.
here is the preview of it.
check my stores, links to which is on the right side of my blog at the top, where all of my other kits are still marked at only a buck! we had wacky wednesday over at busyscrappin and i forgot to change them back to full price and i decided today i would just keep them at a buck for the rest of this week. so go stock up on my products and buy some stuff from the other girls in the store. i am very blessed to be able to be in the store with such amazing designers! oh and i promise there will be an add on to this christmas kit as a freebie for u all very soon! its done i just have to upload it.

hey all, head over to busyscrappin and take advantage of the wacky wednesday sale. everything in the store is a dollar! not just stuff in my store, everything in the entire site is a buck! how sweet is that! thats personal use kits as well as some cu items too. since i have been busy getting the challenges up for the month over at busyscrappin and babysitting for my nephew and going to the dr i havent really had time to upload some new freebies for all u guys. so i thought i would post a freebie from way back in the day that i have been getting a lot of nice comments on.i am reposting my cross embellishment pack that i originally posted way back in june. its one of the 1st things i ever made to give away and i love it. i am currently working a new cross
embellishment pack which is gonna be bigger and better than this one so stay tuned! for those of u guys not interested in the cross pack i am also including a link to a little minikit i made for a designer search contest a while back. enjoy, and go pick up a bunch of stuff over at busyscrappin. the links to the store are on the right side of my blog-----> also check out the challenges over at busyscrappin, i am hosting like 10ish i think and there are like 16 total most with freebies included just for participating. plus for every challenge you complete u get a point and if u do all the challenges for a month u get a month free of the store's commercial use membership!

Now onto now scraprelated issues:
As i have mentioned a lot before, i have lyme disease and have been in and out of dr's offices for the past 2 and half years trying to find a treatment that works. today i went in for my monthly visit to touch base with my dr and we discussed a lot of stuff. she just got back from the big lyme confrence and came home armed with a whole host of new info. so we are gonna try a bunch of new stuff. a new antibiotic to go along with the 2 i am currently on and 3 other meds to help with various other issues arising from my lymes. it was such a long day! first off i got up at 5:30 to get ready before my nephew got here. then dr at 830am. tb test and then ekg at around 10am then 65 cc's of blood drawn( thats a lot of stinkin blood!) then my iv meds and then more lab work. i didnt get out of the hospital til 1pm. i ran quick and got some food, went to vote and then headed home to try to get my nephew down for a nap. i am so tired right now. i have so much to do but i think i am heading to bed soon instead.i was hoping to have my christmas kit finished and in the stores by today but it just isnt gonna happen. soon though haha.

Busyscrappin Blog train. trick or treat!

i think i amy just get this up in time for digifree, ugh i am so behind haha.

hey all,

i am very blessed to be a part of the busyscrappin designers team and today in celebration of halloween we are doing a blog train. i dont myself get very into halloween due to the not so good side of it( based on my christian beliefs) but i will admit i greatly enjoy dressing my nephew thomas up and take advantage of any chance to do so without getting weird looks from the neighbors haha. so here is my little freebie, it is more fall inspired instead of halloween related. all the kits these ladies have made are just adorable and i look forward to getting a chance to play around with them all after i get done taking pix of my nephew! the list is below, leave some love to all my girls along the way.

help i cant get my list to work! below is the address to on of the other ladies in the train and until i get this worked out u will need to go to her site and then to get the list from there. sorry, im working on fixing it right now.

Ode to Gus-Gus. TONS OF PIX INCLUDED SO BEWARE!

this is how i scrap at night because my baby wont let me be!
hello all,
this post is not at all scrap related but my kitty is cute so get over it haha.besides i most of my pages i scrap are either my nephew thomas or my cat so i figured it was ok haha.2 years ago today i rode out to a farm with my sister and picked up my little furbaby. i am not one of those party-throwing cake-getting cat owners( not that there is anything wrong with that) but i decided that since i have soooooooo many pix of my baby i would post some of my fave here now. before i post my pix i just wanted to write a little blurb about my kitty. 1st off my whole life i have been a cat person but we could never have one because myself and my bro are allergic plus we had a dog who was not pro-cat. we moved into the country 3 years ago and once my family got out here we realized( when i say we i really mean my mom haha) that we needed a mouser. after waiting forever to get a cat i took advantage of my mother's hatred for mice and bugged the crap out of her til she said ok we can look for a cat. the same day she said we could "look" for a cat i had one because i grabbed the paper and called every single number that had ads for free kittens. being so late in the year it was hard to find many that were small and by the time i had called the people all their kittens were gone. the last family i called said they had 3 or 4 and to come get whatever ones i wanted. we drove in and were greeted by a circus of animals in the driveway. after we knocked 2 little girls came out to help us find the kittens, Gus was the first one we managed to catch and like 2 mins after we caught him i called my mom and told her i was bringing him home haha. i didnt even look at the other kittens! they said he was 6 weeks old but he looked like at least 12 weeks. i didnt care though. my mom wanted to name him pumpkin or morris since he is orange but i decided right away on Gus-Gus after the fat mouse in cinderella. he can be quite the little pisshead but i loves him! below are all the photos, enjoy.
p.s. we are still allergic to cats but Gus doesnt make either of us sneeze which is very weird!



after his 1st bath

he hates to not be the center of attention

he got his head in there all by himself

stick em up

awwww. this was before he got crazy and the attitude started to come out haha.


Gus always has his arms around something when he sleeps, the chair he is sleeping in is the one i keep my stuffed animals in haha.

his first big snow, he wanted to go out really bad but was soooo mad after i shut the door!

again with the arm around something, this one i admit i changed from my books to the pen cuz i thought the pen was cuter. he didnt even wake up when i moved the books haha

yep, he ate my scrapbooking stickers one day while i was trying to get some pages done

i think cuz they were foam they smelled weird so he liked them.

he likes to get in the way when i am trying to do something so that i have to pay attention to him

he wears my nephew's clothes well haha

after he got neutered. we had to put the collar on cuz he was licking too much and he was very mad at me!

i am always putting things on him while he sleeps

awwwww!


he likes to sleep on things i use so i often find him inside my backpacks and my clothes i have worn and my computer bag haha

my nephew and i catch caterpillars and gus was trying to get them out of the jar to play with them( dont worry he didnt hurt any of them, in fact they are in cocoons in a jar in my house!)

my dad told us he got in there by himself but we all know better haha



look how made he is haha. he doesnt like the flash
